Yan Zhenqing (79-784) was born in Jingzhao Wannian (now Xi 'an, Shaanxi). A famous official, calligrapher and secretary supervisor in the Tang Dynasty, Yan Shigu V followed Sun and Situ Yan Gao Qing.

in the 22nd year of kaiyuan (734), Yan Zhenqing became a scholar, and successively supervised the imperial history and served as an assistant in the temple. Later, because of offending the powerful minister Yang Guozhong, he was demoted as the satrap of the Plain, and was called "Yan Pingyuan" in the world. During the Anshi Rebellion, Yan Zhenqing led the rebels against the rebels. Later, he went to Fengxiang and was awarded the title of Minister of Constitution. When Tang Daizong was an official, he went to the official department of Shangshu, a prince and a surname, and he was named Duke Lu, known as "Duke Yan Lu". In the first year of Xingyuan (784), he was sent to tell Li Xilie, a rebel, and refused the thief in awe, and was finally killed. After he was killed, Li Gao, the heir of Cao, and the soldiers of the three armed forces all cried for it. A posthumous memorial to Stuart and posthumous title "Wenzhong".

Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy is exquisite, and he is good at writing lines and opening letters. Chu Suiliang, a beginner, studied under Zhang Xu and got his brushwork. Its regular script is dignified and majestic, and its running script is vigorous, creating a "Yan style" regular script, which has a great influence on future generations. Together with Zhao Mengfu, Liu Gongquan and Ou Yangxun, they are called "four masters of regular script".

Because of my cousin's wedding, I had a chance to visit northern Sichuan during the National Day holiday a few years ago. In the meantime, I would like to pay a visit to the departure of Yilong New Deal, an important town on the Jialing River, because it is engraved with the "Xian Yu's Departure" by Yan Zhenqing, a great calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty. I saw this cliff carved 2 years ago. After 2 years, every time I visit this place, I can't help but feel a strong desire to visit it again. This is not only because I have been worshipping "Yan Ti" in my eight years of calligraphy practice, but also because of Yan Zhenqing's unyielding character. It can really be said that "books are like people."

In history, the New Deal, which is backed by Jialing River, was built in the Tang, Five Dynasties and Song Dynasties. There was a New Deal County here, which was a standard water wharf. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were city walls and moats, and the city was built according to the terrain. There were eight gates, east, west, north and south, and the gates were erected according to the eight diagrams. When I was young 2 years ago, I went to the New Deal. What impressed me the most was the short old street with countless snacks and the river flowing along the street.

The streets in the old cities are criss-crossed. It is said that there are main street, new street, Yandian street, Mishi street, Bushi street, blacksmith street, Daxie street, Daxie street, Five Blessingg street, Wenchang lane, Youfang street and Waidong street. These streets are connected with the eight gates of east, west, north and south.

Looking for "The Story of Xianyu's Leaving the Pile"

As soon as I saw the Jialing River of the New Deal, I couldn't help going to the pile. This pile is one of the four major piles in Sichuan, and the other three are Dujiangyan, Leshan Wuyou Mountain and Ya 'an Hongya. The New Deal's departure from the heap is the most famous because of the "Xian Yu's departure from the heap" written by Yan Zhenqing in the Tang Dynasty.

just think, how many cultural relics are there in the Tang dynasty on the land where we live today?

due to the relocation of yilong county, construction has been carried out in recent years, and I can hardly see the old New Deal in my original memory. Of course, I don't know what I am longing for.

It's strange that people who live in the county only know that there is a parting pile, but they don't know where Yan Zhenqing and his "The Story of Xianyu's Parting Pile" are. My other cousin also called "never been". So, drive in the direction of leaving the pile.

At this time, it was already a forest of trees, which was very dense. In addition, at the beginning of the rain, we explored in the wet mud jungle without roads. From top to bottom, I looked around along the high eaves of the pile, but failed.

I don't want to. I clearly visited here 2 years ago, and there is also a memorial arch. So, I opened my eyes and searched for the archway among the green trees. Finally, through the thin fog, the buildings with upturned corners gradually became clear. I excitedly pointed to the jungle above and cried, "I see it." I saw it. "

"It's a pity that I don't know this treasure when I live in this land". My cousin also rushed over excitedly, leaving the heap with steep terrain and no way to go down. I was at a loss and used my quick wits: "Go around the pier below!" "

When we came back to the dock we had scouted before, it was just the right time. A young man who was fishing and delivering food by the river showed us the way: "It's only 5 meters from here." The road with no road was too slippery, so I asked my colleagues not to cross it. I climbed up through the grass on the pile, and slowly passed through a grass that was more than one person high. There was no one around, and the wet swamp was under my feet. My heart was a little empty, and I walked forward with one foot high and one foot low, and my shoes at my feet had become water boots.

In about 1 minutes, the memorial archway in front of us became more and more complete, and the faded words "Lugongfang" were embedded in the middle of the memorial archway.

Two treasures in ruins

The further you go, the more the ruins of the archway will become striking. There is a mossy stone tablet standing three meters away from the memorial archway. I tried to identify it and saw some words-

"Nanchong Cultural Relics Protection Unit"; "stone carving from the pile"; Established in 1994.

moving forward, you can see some mottled incense and some biscuits under the workshop. I know that in the land where "there is a temple to worship, and there is a god to ask for it", this is a courtesy of the people to "Lugong Square".

from the grassy surroundings, I can assert that there has been no human breath here for a long time.

the workshop is a little broken, and one corner of it has fallen off. A couplet is engraved on the railing with nonstandard seal characters. Lianyun: "Zhenqing Han Mo Liu Fang, Jialing Wen Dui Lianyun".

There is a stone tablet that has been in existence for some years in the innermost part. Due to the poor light, I approached the railing and saw the inscription "Duke Yan and Lu of Tang Dynasty are really beautiful ... (The words behind them have decayed)". I was shocked to see that the inscription was "Summer and June of Xuantong era", and this stone tablet is also a complete cultural relic.

I'm amazed that such a cultural relic is firmly there, and no cultural relic dealer takes a fancy to it.

I came for Yan Zhenqing's "The Story of Xian Yu's Leaving the Pile", but I didn't see its true meaning. Based on the experience I saw 2 years ago, I looked around again and finally got a glimpse of its true meaning.

I saw "dealing, setting, making, entering, loyalty, disparaging, Shao, Yang, Tai, Shou, Ten", and I also saw "Morality, Yea, Ran, Ke, She, No, Tired, Shang, Wei, Knowing, Sleeping, Harmony, Eating, Recommending, Nothing, Why".

Although they are all bits and pieces of words, looking at the vigorous and vigorous, vigorous and elegant, simple and elegant, full of charm, vigorous and stretched pen power, my blood swells and my heart surges.

The Story of Xianyu's Leaving the Pile was written by Yan Zhenqing at the age of fifty-four, which is just when one is in the prime of life. From the beginning to the end of writing, there is full of pen power in the process of writing, which is a more mature performance of "Yan Ti". The vertical method is drooping against the front, and there is no obstruction between them, which has the tendency of being resolute. "Yan Ti" appeared in the Tang Dynasty and became a banner of regular script calligraphy. Its influence was even wider than that of Wang Xizhi, because "Yan Ti" was more acceptable to the general public, and there were more people who first wrote Yan Zi than Wang Zi. Many famous calligraphers in the past dynasties were influenced by Yan Shu, and Liu Gongquan in the late Tang Dynasty got the essence of Yan Ti, which made the calligraphy art of regular script in the Tang Dynasty reach another height. Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Cai Xiang and Mi Fei, four great calligraphers in Song Dynasty, were all deeply influenced by Yan Shu.
