"China Calligraphy" is a unique traditional art in China. It refers to writing with exquisite brushwork, structure and composition according to the characteristics and significance of Chinese characters, and creating aesthetic works of art. Known as "poetry without words, dancing without words; Paintings without pictures, silent joy. " Deeply influenced by China's calligraphy, Mongolian calligraphy, Arabic calligraphy and English calligraphy came into being.
1899, Wang (1845— 1900), then the head of imperial academy's educational institutions, stumbled upon this piece of Oracle Bone Inscriptions. He is a famous stele writer, and he immediately keenly realized that this is an older Chinese character than the "bronze inscription". Thus began to collect and study. But the next year, Eight-Nation Alliance went to Beijing, and Wang threw himself into the well with his family.
Wang's discovery made many famous scholars join Oracle Bone Inscriptions's research at that time.
Professor Chen Zizhan (1898- 1990), a famous scholar, commented on the study of early Oracle bone inscriptions and said, "There are four halls of Oracle bones, Guo Dong and Wang Luo". This statement is widely accepted by academic circles. The so-called four Oracle bone halls refer to four famous scholars who studied Oracle bones in modern China: Guo Moruo (word), Dong Zuobin (word), Luo Zhenyu (Tang Xue) and Wang Guowei (no Guantang).
Guo Moruo's research on Oracle Bone Inscriptions started late (1928), but it started from a high starting point and adopted new methods, and it built a strategic position at once, surpassing its predecessors. 1937, he published a book "Nazi Collection in Yin Qi", which greatly praised the significance of oracle calligraphy: "Oracle Bone Inscriptions was carved on a tortoise bone, and his exquisite deeds and beautiful words have fascinated our descendants for thousands of years. The style of writing varies from person to person and from world to world. Generally speaking, Wu Ding's world is full of bold words, Di Yi's world is beautiful, and Wen Xian is beautiful. The density of lines, the structure of words, the care of circles, and the order ... It is enough to know that the existing contract is a proxy book, and the contract book is Yin Zhong Wang. "
