參考資料收藏著錄 / 譚伯羽譚季甫先生昆仲捐贈文物目錄,頁173.287 / 網頁展示說明 / 錢灃(西元1740-1795年),字約甫,號南園,雲南昆明人。擅書法,行書學習宋代米芾的筆意,楷書則以學唐代顏真卿而知名,曾多方觀摩顏氏的書蹟和碑拓,到了晚年又兼學唐代的褚遂良和歐陽詢,以致他的書法氣格宏大,有著陽剛之氣。清代中葉以後,學顏真卿者多由他入手。
這一幅楷書直幅,述南齊名士沈驎士事略,為其典型的楷書作品。具有顏真卿厚實挺勁的風味,一筆一劃方正剛毅,行筆穩健,沒有絲毫鬆懈的地方,可見書寫之時的用心之勤,也正符合幅中所言的養身之道了。 / 網頁展示說明 / Ch'ien Feng (tzu Yueh-fu, hao Nan-yuan) was a native of Kunming, Yunnan province. A master calligrapher, he emulated the Sung painter Mi Fu in his running script style. His standard script, moreover, was famed for its likeness to the works of the T'ang calligrapher Yen Chen-ch'ing, whose calligraphic works and stele rubbings he exhaustively studied. In later life, Ch'ien also learned from the works of the T'ang calligraphers Ch'u Sui-liang and Ou-yang Hsun, the influence of whom can be seen in the grandness and unyielding force of his brushwork. After the mid-Ch'ing period, many students of Yen Chen-ch'ing calligraphy began with the works of Ch'ien Feng.
This work, done in standard script, is a short biographical account of Shen Lin-shih, a renowned official of the state of Ch'i during the Southern Dynasties period. It is a classic example of Ch'ien's standard script calligraphy, embodying the sure and powerful style of Yen Chen-ch'ing. Each stroke is laid down with deliberate regularity and confident execution. In no place does it show even the slightest laxity, attesting to the immense discipline of the artist. The style is well suited to the principles of fostering life expounded in the text.
