Summary

On Calligraphy 書論書
Artist
Mi Fu
米芾
Title
On Calligraphy
書論書
Description
Mi Fu placed the cursive style of the Jin dynasty (265-420) in high regards as the standard, but he was critical about that of the Tang dynasty (618-907). This work is a written discourse about the cursive style, and is done in the cursive style fully similar to that of the Jin dynasty. The content includes hints of criticism for Tang calligraphers, such as the named Zhang Xu (張旭; appearing as 張顛, because of a taboo character due to Emperor Shenzong's name), Huaisu (懷素), Gaoxian (高閑), and Bianguang (辯光).

Mi Fu's text
草書若不入晉人格轍。徒成下品。張顛俗子。變亂古法。驚諸凡夫。自有識者。懷素少加平淡。稍到天成。而時代壓之。不能高古。高閑而下。但可懸之酒肆。䛒(同辯)光尤可憎惡也。
