This sentence was written by Zhao Mengfu when he visited the hometown of Wu.
Zhao Mengfu is well-read and versatile, and literature and art create a generation of ethos. The study of Confucian classics mainly focuses on Shangshu, especially the study of rites and music. There is also a profound study of Lu Zhixue, and it is quite wonderful that the ancients did not pass it on. There are two books, Qinyuan and Paradise.
The seal method respects the stone drum and curses Chu, the official calligraphy Liang You and Zhong You, and the curses worship the two kings (Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi). Influenced by Li Yong in his later years, all kinds of calligraphy are the best in ancient and modern times. Both Tianzhu and Japan attach great importance to collecting their calligraphy. Many of his Buddhist and Taoist calligraphy are scattered in famous mountains.
Zhao Mengfu's poems are profound and elegant, which often makes people feel like floating out of the world. Among the poets from the first year to the first year, Zhao Mengfu, together with Dai and others, tried to sweep away the bad habits of the Southern Song Dynasty. He is good at combining the method of seal brushwork with painting, and is a leader in a generation of painting circles. He is proficient in bamboo, stone, horse, landscape and flowers and birds.
He also has a unique view on the secularization and degradation of boundary painting. It is believed that other painting disciplines have fashions that can be fabricated to deceive people, while boundary painting needs more skills and statutes. According to records, after Zhao Mengfu entered the Yuan Dynasty, his housework was very poor, and he often collected decoration fees by calligraphy and painting. He is also good at identifying ancient artifacts, calligraphy and famous paintings, and can accurately know the age, author and authenticity.
