Calligraphy in Song Dynasty was faced with serious congenital deficiency at the starting point. What are the three aspects?

1. Since calligraphy broke away from practicality and became a conscious art style, the' Taoist tradition' handed down from teachers and students has never stopped. Even though it was divided for a long time like the Northern and Southern Dynasties, because Wang Xizhi grew up in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, The Romance of He Zuo was inherited by Yang Xin, Zhi Yong and others and spread to the Tang Dynasty.

2. The Five Dynasties turmoil occurred in the Central Plains and was destroyed every few years, thus fatally blocking this long tradition.

3. The lack of qualified teachers is of course on the one hand, and the excellent calligraphy heritage of past dynasties was destroyed by the mutiny, which is an irreparable loss.
