The full name of the "Good King Monument" is "The Monument of the Good King of the Country". The stele was built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty Emperor Yixi ten years (A.D. 414), unearthed in the Qing Dynasty Guangxu period (A.D. 1880), the stele site is located in the current Jilin Province Ji'an County Taiwang Township, that is, the Goguryeo Dynasty ruins, now also preserved in Si. The inscription is an important ancient document in Northeast China, with epoch-making significance and precious historical value, it is not only full of historical information of national culture and writing changes, its calligraphy art characteristics are strong, and it also has special value in the history of Chinese calligraphy.
Taking the Past as the New - The Calligraphy Invitational Exhibition of the Good King Tablet is sponsored by the Yangcheng Calligraphy Research Association, the Tianhe District Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and the Calligraphy Committee of the Guangzhou Calligraphers Association, and the invited calligraphers are mainly Lingnan calligraphers. It can be traced back to the famous Guangdong calligrapher Wu Zifu (1899-1979) who loved, wrote and promoted the stele of Haotaiwang.
Mr. Wu Zifu (1899-1979).
The master of the hugging urn Zhai set the King Tablet".
Wu Zifu, who is known as "Wu Li" in the Lingnan calligraphy circle, studied a variety of Han monuments throughout his life, and in his later years, he preferred the Taiwang monument. In 1971, Huang Xiaogeng (1933-2012), the master of the Bungzhai Zhai, took the miniature version of the "Tablet Lian Jituo Hao Taiwang Tablet" printed by the Shanghai Art Garden True Appreciation Society in 1929 as the base text, and specially compiled seven words and sixty couplets for Wu Zi, and used the copy paper double hook into a book, called "The Master of the Zhai Collects the Good King Tablet". Wu Zifu inscribed it and said: "The stele of the good king of Goguryeo in the Jin Dynasty was unearthed in Fengtian, and the calligraphy art is naïve and innocent, and it is the crown of the Wei and Jin inscriptions." The owner of the urn is sixty for Yu Jilian, especially wonderful. Three days after the Dragon Boat Festival in Xinhai. Voluche. ”
Since then, Wu Zifu has written many couplets in the book. In the book of Huang Xiaogeng, "Guangluo inscription adds new brocade, slightly swings the old ashes of Jia Confucian thieves", and the inscription reads: "The calligrapher is in the stele, there is charcoal for use, and there is an icing flower in the brocade." Geng Jun is willing to rest on the latter. In addition, when the Tao Xinghui will be proud, he will be proud of his own god and humble his form. At the beginning of this spring, I tried the Taiwang Monument, and used the answer to Gengjun to collect the meaning of beauty. ”

Due to the circumstances at that time, Wu Zifu was limited to the transmission of the inscription of the King of the Prince, and occasionally to Hong Kong and Macao. For example, in 1971, Wu Zifu once wrote a good book on the stele of the king of the king, "The old things of the revolving door are remembered, and the new sound of the valley is lonely" was presented to Feng Kanghou, a young acquaintance and calligrapher, painting and seal carver who lived in Hong Kong. Influenced by Wu Zifu, Feng Shuhao also wrote several good princely tablets since then, such as "Things move with the flowing water, and words and Gu Yan should have a voice" and so on.
"Good King Tablet" unearthed for more than 100 years, there is no shortage of famous people who have benefited from it, there are those who are majestic and rough, those who are solemn and graceful, those who are solemn and solemn, and those who are loose and unbridled; Wu Zifu especially loves his "naïve and innocent" naughty childlike taste. In line with his creation, some poets collected words and wrote couplets, and published several collections in the 80s of the last century, which had a profound and wide influence. Among them, in 1987, Lingnan Fine Arts Publishing House published "Wu Zifu's Book of Good King Tablet Characters", which was selected into 29 pairs of Wu Shu Hao Taiwang Tablet Collection, and 28 copies of Linyuan Tablet rubbing. The publication and distribution of this volume has attracted more calligraphy enthusiasts' attention to the Haotaiwang Tablet and its collection. Lai Shaoqi, a master of calligraphy and painting, wrote a couplet in 1988: "Self-proclaimed family has no foot, and there is a teacher in a hundred books." And wrote in the inscription: "The calligrapher Mr. Wu Zifu wrote a good collection of sentences on the tablet of the king, and also wrote the words of the tablet." To our daughter's aphorisms also. ”
