C22 宋克：公讌詩

宋克: 公讌詩

宋克（1327－1387），長洲人。字仲溫，號南宮生。書師饒介，究魏晉之法，又學急就章，得章草之妙。是幅書魏劉楨五言古詩，混合行書、今草、章草和狂草，字形大小錯落，行間緊湊，是承襲元末草書野逸之風的典型。

宋克：公讌詩

元末に生まれた宋克は、青年期を任侠の徒に加わって送りましたが、壮年に到ってこれを絶ち、門を閉ざして翰墨に親しみ、書名をもって天下に聞こえました。本作、魏の劉楨の五言古詩を書します。長鋒の筆先をたくみに駆使するのびやかな筆致は、明初の風気をたたえます。

Sung K'e : Poem on an Official Banquet by Liu Chen

Sung K'e (1327-1387) was a native of Ch'ang-chou (Soochow). His style name was Chung-wen and his sobriquet was Nan-kung-sheng. As a youth he yielded himself to gallantry, but eventually led a cloistered life and became absorbed in calligraphy. He followed the style of Jao Chieh, mastered the styles of the kingdom of Wei and the Chin dynasty, and developed a remarkable talent for chang-ts'ao, a style of cursive script, by studying the Chi-chiu-chang, a compilation of characters from the Han dynasty. This work, which is a transcription of an ancient pentasyllabic poem by Liu Chen of the kingdom of Wei, represents the temperament of the late Yuan and early Ming phase in its vivacious brushstrokes rendered by freely using the full length of the brush tip.
