此齋帖 釋高閑
中國
此作為高閑所寫的一封短札，見收於《絳帖》之中。所謂《絳帖》，乃是承續、增損《淳化閣帖》的製作，所以才有機會收入、保留所謂名人名臣的作品。
以草書論之，或守法謹慎如王羲之，或揮灑性情如懷素，便有今草與狂草之別。高閑承懷素遺緒，故用筆翻騰多變，自第一行以下速度漸快，首二字猶見楷行，後即以草書為之。然較之懷素，仍顯得較受單字的拘限，上下字呼應不強，大抵性情功力皆有所差距，才呈現這樣的面貌。
高閑為唐代（618～907）僧、草書名家，於當時即負有盛名。其名下尚有墨跡《千字文》殘卷存世，堪稱中唐時期（756～846）草書的代表。
參考釋文：此齋破除京中所／得物猶未盡豈得／更受相助錢物／勞送此意便令／卻還本至請／檢納六日高閑上
