Calligraphy schools in yuan dynasty

At the beginning of Yuan Dynasty, there was little economic and cultural development, and the overall situation of calligraphy was advocating retro, patriarchal clan system in Jin and Tang Dynasties, and less innovation. Although the Yuan Dynasty was ruled by foreigners politically, it was assimilated by Chinese culture culturally, which was different from the pursuit of artistic conception in the Song Dynasty. The intention of Yuan Zaju is to pursue the beauty of openness and deliberately strive for merit, so Su Shi flaunted' I can't build this book', and Zhao Mengfu argued that it is not easy for the former to pursue the intention through the ages, and then emphasized the meaning. Zhao Mengfu, the central figure in Yuan Dynasty, founded the regular script Zhao Ti and the European style in Tang Dynasty.

Liu style, also known as four styles, became the main style of calligraphy in later generations. Because Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy thought is definitely not one step ahead of the two kings, his calligraphy has a unique understanding of the essence of Wang's calligraphy, which is manifested in a gentle and elegant style, which is also related to his belief in Buddhism. Aesthetics tends to be elegant and detached, which is related to getting a spiritual liberation. Xian Yushu and Deng Wenyuan were also famous in the Yuan Dynasty. Although their achievements are not as good as Zhao Mengfu's, they also have their own uniqueness in calligraphy style. They advocate the same method of calligraphy and painting and pay attention to the posture of writing.

Looking at the calligraphy of the Yuan Dynasty, it is characterized by respecting the ancient times, and its great achievement is still in cursive script. As for turning profits, although there are several famous artists, they are not very good. This kind of calligraphy with lines and cursive script as the mainstream didn't change until the Qing Dynasty. There was a calligraphy style in Yuan Dynasty, which prevailed in the calligraphy research in Song Dynasty and Tang Zongjin Period. Although they have their own merits, they can't stand in the calligraphy world in the same way. Compared with literature, painting and other arts, it is far from successful.
