Ⅱ Assortment of one thousand words 狂草千字文 in Grass-scripts (Kuang Cao)  by Kwan Yan Long scroll 1433cm × 90cm   

Taiwan 書法教育Calligraphy Education monthly periodical March 2011 special coverage Mater Kwan Yan. Masters of the Orient in Chinese Painting and Calligraphy.

For the deep black purple ink luster and colour, specially use 徽州曹素功大好山水slab. Inkstone used is ancient 端硯, water submerged core stone with reddish purple multiple brush strokes like markings. Paper is安徽 high class hand made Xuan paper. In history nearly all great masters had attempted to writethis one thousand letter passage in various styles ofbrush strokes often in bound book form. Long Scroll in grass-script is very rare.

Using long Scroll in grass-script, the overwhelming cursive style, like flying clouds and running water whole passage is 1000 words in 117 rows, with no fault, all in one wholeness, with the illusion of a lively painting, looking from a far one can visualize galloping of ten thousand horses, or like the formation of a thousand flying cranes, or like inter locking of mountain ranges, or like overlapping trees and forests or like misty cloudy scenes, streams running wide in wilderness. Looking closely one could see the forceful swiftness and speed of brush strokes, every words in perfect shape, there is no clumsy brush shortcoming. Sometimes with force concentrating, sometimes with energy spreading, following the freewill of the mind, producing elegant strokes, broken and continuous, dry white streaky brush strokes is just like what 懷素 described: “First like the light fogperm eating among ancient pines, or like ten of thousands blade like mountains.”

The turning points of brush strokes producing the effects of crossing in enormous variations one dot, one stroke, here and there. Just like in 張長史’s words: “like the porters forcing their ways through crowd of people, like 公孫大娘 exercising sword, these is no sluggishness, full of beauty and imagination where brush pauses is just like hanging needle with dripping drops, or like splashing waterfall pouring from very tall cliff, whole passage is seen all in one whole formation harmoniously control of ink mix clearly reflect her closeness with the ancient masters.

Her marvelous extrapolations changing the beauties of limes and calligraphy into a form of visual stimulating and resonating art.
