Characteristics of the development of ancient calligraphy theory
First of all, pay attention to the summary and guidance of aesthetic fashion. Generally speaking, a society must have a social fashion, and this social fashion will inevitably affect all aspects of social culture; The welcome or resistance of social and cultural parties to this fashion will inevitably directly affect the prosperity and demise of this social fashion. Similarly, the aesthetic fashion of calligraphy art in different times is also different. How to guide this aesthetic trend and make it the dominant aesthetic trend in this era has become the concern and discussion of book theorists in various eras. For example, in the book Theory of Han and Wei Dynasties? Shang Xiang? In the book On Jin Dynasty? Shang Yun? , in the Tang dynasty book theory? Shangfa? In the book On Song Dynasty? Shangyi? And so on, all summarize the aesthetic fashion in the practice of calligraphy art in each era, and in turn guide the practice of calligraphy creation through summary, and promote the development and prosperity of calligraphy art.
Secondly, the study of calligraphy art is comprehensive and systematic. As long as you skim the works of calligraphy theory in ancient China, you will see that the research and summary of calligraphy art in ancient China is all-round, involving all aspects of calligraphy art and forming its own system. If we compare it with China's ancient painting theory, we can better show this feature. For example, the study of the development history of calligraphy began with Yang Xin's "Ancient Books" in the Southern Song Dynasty, and almost all subsequent dynasties produced such works. They listed the development history of calligraphy from ancient times to the end of Qing Dynasty, and preserved the complete face of the development history of calligraphy in China. Another example is the study of the evolution history of calligraphy, which involves the emergence, development, changes, concepts, characteristics and other aspects of calligraphy, such as Da Zhuan, Xiao Zhuan, Ba Fen, regular script, running script, Cao Zhang, Cao Jin, etc. It is systematic and comprehensive. Another example is the study of calligraphy techniques, which is extremely profound and comprehensive. Generally speaking, there are meticulous and accurate studies on pen, front, writing, knot, ink and white painting.
Third, pay attention to the relationship between books and character. Yang Xiong put forward this view as early as the Western Han Dynasty? Books draw for the heart? The famous view is that calligraphy works are a direct reflection of calligraphers' thoughts, virtues and tastes. This view has had a far-reaching impact on later generations. In his sequel Duane, Zhu, a calligraphist in the Northern Song Dynasty, thinks that a person's calligraphy art has a great relationship with his character cultivation, and illustrates it with examples. Duke Lu can be described as a loyal minister. He was born in Bihan, so he is resolute, well-organized and well-prepared. For example, he is a loyal minister and a righteous man. He stands upright in front of the court and cannot be taken away. "Yangtze Cloud" takes books as its heart, and Lu is convinced of this. ? This actually means that Yan's vigorous style comes from his high morals and integrity. Liu Xizai, a great calligrapher in modern times, wrote in Introduction to Art? In the outline of the book, more specifically: Books, such as also. If you study, if you are talented, if you are ambitious, in short, you are like a person. ? He thinks that calligraphy can not only show calligraphers' works? Study? 、? Only? 、? Pool? You can imagine a calligrapher. A good character makes a good book.
In addition, he is also good at expressing the feelings of the appreciator with vivid metaphors, thus fully showing the interweaving of various psychological activities in the process of appreciation. As early as the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cai Yong emphasized that the style of calligraphy creation should be integrated with various vivid forms of human nature with rich and beautiful metaphors. Since then, calligraphers of all ages have inherited this tradition. For example, the score written by Sun in the book:? See the difference between the husband's hanging needles and the dew, the wonder of rushing to the rocks, the horror of flying animals, the state of dancing snakes, the trend of landing on the shore, and the shape of crisis. Or as heavy as a cloud or as light as a cicada; Guide the spring, the mountain will be safe; The first month is as thin as a cliff, among the stars. ? Here, the author uses a series of vivid metaphors? In fact, it is a metaphor for the wonderful scenes of Zhong You's, Zhang Zhi's and Wang's calligraphy, which gives people a perceptual knowledge and is easy to understand. This kind of example is really endless.
In a word, China ancient calligraphy theory is a valuable cultural heritage, which is worth summarizing and inheriting.
