鲜为人知的书家——苏舜钦

The Rarely Known Calligrapher-Su Shunqin

苏舜钦是擅写草书,被称为草圣。但他的书法成就历来被其诗文和政治的影响所淹没,鲜有提及。他的书法及其"学书为人生一乐事"、"以心为本"的抒发性情的书学思想,都显现出宋"尚意"书风的征兆。欧阳修、宋四家等书家都继承或借鉴了他的书学思想,应该说,他是宋"尚意"书风的启蒙者。

Su Shunqin is a calligrapher. He was good at writing grass style and called ＂Grass Master＂. How- ever, his great achievements in field of grass writing had been drowned by the influence of his poetry con- tent and politics at that time. His calligraphy and the sense of ＂calligraphy for human life--Le Shi＂ and ＂Heart Oriented＂ both presented the sign of ＂Shang Yi＂ atmosphere in Song dynasty. Ouyang Xiu and Four Songs＇ were all successful and used his calligraphy sense, which meant that Su Shunqin is the enlightener of ＂Shang Yi＂.
