Hsü was noted for his writing and excelling at calligraphy, becoming known for the edicts that he drafted under Emperor Su-tsung. An "appointment" is issued to an individual as official notice of assignment to government office. Hsü’s standard script was similar to that of Ou-yang Hsün, but more rounded and strong in the manner of the time. Since Hsü’s characters do not appear very harmonious, the Sung calligrapher Mi Fu (1051-1107) once commented that the style of the T'ang emperor Hsüan-tsung's with its heavy and rounded characters accounted for the manner of the time as seen in Hsü Hao's calligraphy.&*1.何傳馨,〈唐徐浩書朱巨川告身帖〉,收入王耀庭、許郭璜、陳階晉編,《故宮書畫菁華特輯》(臺北:國立故宮博物院,1987年初版,2001年再版),頁24-25。 2.王競雄,〈唐徐浩書朱巨川告身〉,收入何傳馨、何炎泉、陳韻如編,《晉唐法書名蹟》(臺北:國立故宮博物院,2008年初版),頁189-191。 3.簡松村,〈唐代的告身 — 簡介院藏朱巨川告身〉,《故宮文物月刊》,第13期(1984年4月),頁115-119 。 4.何傳馨,〈書畫菁華特展 — 徐浩書朱巨川告身〉,《故宮文物月刊》,第163期(1996年10月),頁42-43。 5.照那斯圖,〈唐徐浩書朱巨川告身卷所鈐元國書印譯釋〉,《故宮文物月刊》,第254期(2004年5月),頁104-105。 &*「告身」是古代公文書,在朝廷勛獎或任命文武官員時,發給當事人作為憑證,以便取得世人的公信,其性質與現今職官派令相近。此項制度發展至唐代漸臻完備,授受的階層區分為冊授、制授、勅授、旨授和判補五種,告身形制亦隨之有別。〈朱巨川告身〉屬於敕授階層,歷來將書者歸在徐浩(703-782)名下,近人或持不同的看法,以為出於朝中文書人員,將唐楷渾厚的氣度表現得恰到好處。(20081012)&*An appointment was a kind of official document in ancient times in which the court proclaimed an award or office upon a civil and military official. The document was presented to the recipient as a form of proof to show others, being similar to an announcement of official position today. This system developed to maturity in the T’ang dynasty and was divided into five levels, those being for a recipient of “register,” “order,” “command,” and “decree,” as well as for “sentence amendment”. The “appointment” form evolved therefrom, and this work belongs to the level of “command.” The calligrapher of this work has been attributed as Hsü Hao through the ages, but different views today suggest it may have come from the hand of a court scribe who accurately expressed the broad and majestic manner of regular script for which the T’ang dynasty is known.
