赵孟頫与中峰明本禅师交游考——以《赵文敏与中峰十一帖》为重心

Zhao Mengfu and Monk Zhenfeng Mingben——Focused on Zhao Wenmin and Eleven Letters to Zhongfeng

"普应国师"中峰明本禅师(1263-1323年)是元代最为著名的高僧之一,他佛法高深影响巨大,还工诗善书。赵孟頫(1254-1322年)与妻管道昇、子赵雍、兄赵孟僩与中峰明本禅师有密切关系。《赵文敏与中峰十一帖》就是赵孟頫写给中峰明本禅师的十一封信,附有管道昇的一封,今藏台北故宫博物院。尺牍书札是赵孟頫存世书法中的重要组成部分,亦是其生平、交游、心态等研究的重要文献资料。在赵孟頫十一帖书信往来过程中,佛法是内容,思想交流是中心,书法艺术是重要方式。

Monk Zhongfeng Mingben （1263-1323） was one of the most famous monks in the Yuan Dynasty, who was conferred by the Yuan court a title of a ＂Puying State Teacher＂. Deeply versed in Buddhism, he was also an accomplished poet and calligrapher, with his style of calligraphy called ＂willow leaf style＂. Zhao Mengfu （1254-1322） and his wife Guan Daosheng, son Zhao Yong, and brother Zhao Mengxian were close friends of Master Zhongfeng Mingben. Zhao Wenmin and Eleven Letters to Zhongfeng consists of eleven letters written by Zhao Mengfu to Zhongfeng, in addition to one letter by Guan Daosheng. The letters are currently collected in the Palace Musuem of Taipei. Letters are important parts of the extant calligraphically works of Zhao Mengfu, which are also important literature works for studying his life, friend circles and psychology. The eleven letters of Zhao Mengfu feature Buddhism as their contents for the central purpose of exchanging ideas with calligraphically art as an important vehicle.
