明马绍荣《楷书归荣诗》册考略

Research on the Ming Scholar Ma Shaorong's Kaishu gui rong shi

《楷书归荣诗》册,书法精湛,台阁书体明显,是马氏书法传世的孤本,可称为明代台阁体书法的殿军之作。其书法之师承、艺术风格,对我们全面了解明代台阁体书法的兴衰发展,有着典型意义——其字体的偏旁笔划虽有明显的宋克或钱溥的影响,甚至习气,但结态却不同于宋氏的方扁,而更接近虞世南的颀长蕴藉。此外,作品的史料价值也是不容忽视的。

The folio Kaishu gui rong shi contains exquisite calligraphy in the distinctive Taige calligraphy style and this is the only surviving folio of the calligraphy of Ma Shaorong,who is regarded as the foremost exponent of the Taige style of the Ming Dynasty.This has classic significance enabling us to understand the transmission of the calligraphy and its artistic style, as well as for understanding the development through its rise and fall of the Taige style.The side strokes of the characters show obvious influence and emulation of Song Ke or Qian Pu, although his resolution is different from the square and squat lines of Song Ke and is closer to Yu Shinan.The historical value of the folio cannot be easily dismissed.
