Li Yong's statues and works
First of all, why "goodwill"? Li Yong didn't get good results in his political career, because he had a personality since he was a child. It is because of his kindness, gentleness, talent and accomplishments in painting and calligraphy that Li has a good personality. After Emperor Taizong, Li Yong became a calligrapher of "four generations living under one roof" with Du Fu's strong recommendation. Speaking of this, we can't help feeling the charm of Li Yong's calligraphy. His calligraphy not only has the typical calligraphy style of the two kings, but also adds a sense of vigorous and elegant stone. In writing, there is rigidity in softness and softness in rigidity, which is wonderful.
on the other hand, why is Li Yong "insatiable"? In fact, this is the main reason for Li Yong's own character and ultimate failure. Li Yong's achievements at that time were unparalleled, which also affected his political position. Sima Qian can have unique rights in court, and Li Yong can compete with Sima Qian. He said that he was the first person to go to court. However, although he is brilliant in politics and career, he can't resist the defect of his life: greed for money. In other words, he likes money and takes bribes widely. Finally, Li Yong was severely punished for his unrestrained personality.
Li Yong and Du Fu
Li Yong, also known as Li Beihai and Li Kuo, is of Han nationality. He was born in 678 AD and died in 747 AD. He was a calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty. Du Fu, born in Shaolingye, Gongxian County, Henan Province, has a beautiful personality. He was born in 712 and died in 77. He was a great realistic poet in Tang Dynasty. So, what is the relationship between Li Yong and Du Fu?
Portrait of Du Fu
During the four years of Tang Tianbao, Li Bai and Du Fu traveled to Qilu, leaving many poems. At that time, Governor Li Yong of Beihai went to qi zhou for a few days to meet Du Fu. The banquet was arranged in the newly-built Lixia Pavilion, accompanied by many scholars and scholars from qi zhou. Li Yong and Du Fu talked about wine for a long time. In the history of poetics, he even mentioned Du Fu's grandfather Du Fu. Speaking of his family, Du Fu was moved by this seemingly casual move. At this joyful banquet, Du Fu left a famous saying: "On the right side of the sea, there are many famous people in Jeju." At that time, Li Yong was 68 years old and famous all over the world, while Du Fu was 33 years old and just started. But Li Yong's insight can be said to be a kind of kindness to Du Fu.
Li Yong is not only good at poetry and writing, but also good at calligraphy. His calligraphy was a beginner of the right army, and he also participated in regular script and running script in the early Tang Dynasty. He changed his style and created a new one. He was good at regular script and left many works. Du Fu wrote a song: "The pen is vigorous, but the system is vigorous." Praise Li Yong's Calligraphy Art In 747 AD, Li Yong was persecuted by the traitor Li and beaten to death by a brutal official. Du Fu was deeply saddened by the death of Li Yong. He wrote: "There is blood in Qingzhou, but there is no yang in Qiang nationality" in memory of Li Yong. Li Yong and Du Fu are friends of heroes. They cherish heroes and forget the years.
Li Yongde's story
According to legend, since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, calligraphers took "the wind of two kings" as the first. So all calligraphers at that time followed and devoted themselves to the real regular script. Li Yong's story is also told in The Wind of Two Kings.

Li Yong became famous as a child because he began to learn calligraphy, read books and write "books". Li Yong also developed the style of "Two Kings" in his writing, which is not only vigorous and elegant, but also vigorous and powerful. He can skillfully use the characteristics of the font itself and fall into his pen smartly.
Li Yong's success in calligraphy led to his political authority. Some people say that Li Yong and Sima Yi can be on a par with Zhang in "power" at that time. More importantly, Li Yonggang's fearless character laid a deeper foundation for his calligraphy and life. On the one hand, Li Yong's angular character influenced his works. Therefore, Li Yong's calligraphy is more vigorous and powerful than "the body of two kings". On the other hand, Li Yong is not afraid of power. To a certain extent, Li Yong can help the government to reduce the power of ministers and prevent the emergence of one-sided opinions. So Li Yong is getting farther and farther away from officialdom.
However, why did Li Yong die worse in the end? This leads to another story of Li Yong. This is the story of Li Yong's character. Li Yong has reached a very high position in her career, but she has a fatal weakness in her personality and life: she is bold and extravagant, and likes to pursue wealth and splendor. To put it simply, Li Yong likes money too much, which leads to his corruption and bribery. Finally, he also committed the crime of accepting bribes and bending the law, and got into trouble as a result.
Li Yong's achievements
The Tang Dynasty flourished, and flowing water spilled all over the earth. Fang Qiu was vividly portrayed in the world where gold flowed. Li Yong's life is wonderful, so what is Li Yong's achievement?

First of all, Li Yong was born in a very lucky time, the year of the Tang Dynasty. During this period, after Emperor Taizong, the world followed suit and worshipped the "two kings". Li Yong inherited the writing style of the two kings by virtue of his calligraphy attainments. On this basis, Li Yong has his own unique charm. Therefore, Li Yong was first loved by Du Fu because of "imitation", and was finally elected as the leader of calligraphy at that time.
In addition, Li Yong is really the reason why he became an "industry leader". Because, at first, Li Yong's calligraphy inherited the style of "Two Kings" and kept pace with them. But after continuous research, Li Yong is not limited to the style of the two kings. In calligraphy, he has his own charm. He is not only good at running script, but also can create a unique style of "the North Sea is like an elephant" with bright rhythm and sharp edges.
Then why do you say that Li Yong "carved a strong Fang Qiu in the golden world?" In fact, it is more a summary of Li Yong's achievements in stone inscription. It is recorded that Li Yong was "famous as a gifted scholar" since childhood. The word "talent" in this book refers more to the praise of the inscription. Just like Li Yong's personality, his sculptures are unpretentious. Generally speaking, Li Yong's character is good at breaking risks. In the process of writing, he is full of energy and keeps extending, as if he were a strong-willed person.
Li Yong is a master of calligraphy up to now, especially his various inscriptions are second to none in quantity and quality. For our descendants, the most famous are Model Teacher and The True Face of Lushan Mountain. Besides, his Old Tang Shu, Li Sixun Tablet and Ye Youdao Tablet are all good calligraphy worthy of serious study.
