宋代四大书法家“苏黄米蔡”,一般指的是苏轼、黄庭坚、米芾和蔡襄.然蔡襄屈居第四,似乎有不公平之处.蔡襄书法,初学二王,后学虞世南、颜真卿,端重沉著,雄伟遒丽,大字纯出颜平原,小字行草出二王,风骨秀逸,笔力遒劲;真、草、行、隶皆优,而以草书“飞白”为最,自成一家.《宋史》记载:“襄工于书,为当时第一.”宋高宗评他为“本朝诸臣之冠.”而况蔡为苏、黄、米三人之先辈,东坡且尊其书法为本朝第一,实不当列于三人之后. The four calligraphers in the Song Dynasty, “Suhuangmi Cai,” generally refers to Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Mi Fu and Cai Xiang. However, Cai Xiang ranked fourth, it seems there is not fair. Cai Xiang calligraphy, beginner two kings, after school Yu Shinan, Yan Zhenqing, Duanzhong calm, majestic Lai Li, the characters pure plain, the small characters line out of the two kings, Feng Gui Xiuyi, writing energetically; really, grass, line, Li Jieyou, and cursive “flying white” as the most self-made “History of the Song” records: “Xiang workers in the book, was the first.” Song Gaozong commented him as “the crown of the dynasty Zhu Chen.” And Cai as the Soviet Union, yellow, rice three of the ancestors, Dongpo and respect Calligraphy for the first, really improper after three.
