Introduction to Tibetan calligraphy
Tibetan calligraphy is an important part of Tibetan culture and art. In the 7th century A.D., during the period of Tubo Zampazon Zampapo, Minister Tunmi Sambuza absorbed the advantages of different ancient Indian scripts and combined them with Tibetan culture to create a perfect Tibetan script. Then eight calligraphers appeared, forming eight calligraphy systems. Calligrapher Qiong Yaochi scientifically standardized Wu Qin's calligraphy, and later became the most widely used font, which was called Qiongchi (that is, Qiong Yaochi's calligraphy). Later, "Qiongchi" split into "Nichi" school, which prevailed in Nimu area. Dege Tibetan calligraphy is an independent calligraphy style developed on the basis of Wei Tibetan calligraphy, with a history of more than 700 years. De 'ang Sazhi is named after its origin in De 'ang Township, Dari County, Guoluo Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province. It has been passed down for more than 200 years, and * * * has seven generations of descendants of 1. In 2008, Tibetan calligraphy was approved by the State Council to be included in the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage list.
