[Lu Gong Lin Mo Zhongtang | Seal and Zhuan scripts on silk, the soul of the prosperous Tang Dynasty]
This scroll captures the essence of the Qing dynasty's "leaking roof" style of calligraphy. Its majestic spears and halberds resemble Mount Tai carved into stone, while the silk reveals the celestial script. Its winding veins and joints fuse with the pine smoke of the Kaiyuan imperial court, creating a profound style of epigraphy. The silk undergoes a secret process of three melting and eight tempering processes, resulting in a scorched ink-filled tip that evokes the "thunder chariot hidden in ink" principle of "On the Calligraphy of Zhang Changshi." The meticulous imitation technique achieves a level of "awesome spirit and strength," with each stroke honed over thirty years of the An-Shi period. Compared to conventional Tang dynasty regular script copies, this scroll reveals the spirit of the prefect of Pingyuan. This is more than a mere transfer of brushwork; it is a truly collectible silk masterpiece that blends the spirit of Qin seal script with the spirit of Northern Wei cliff carvings. A rare contemporary example of the true essence of seal and celestial script that inherits the essence of "Struggle for a Seat."
