Su Shi is the leader of Song Sijia. This is not only because he achieved the highest achievement and had the greatest influence in the literary world of the Northern Song Dynasty, but also because he was the ideological guide and practitioner of the wave of "personalization" in the Northern Song Dynasty. Su Shi's calligraphy is good at regular script, cursive script and cursive script. His cursive script is natural and simple, and his regular script is rich and mature, which is unique in the history of calligraphy. His artistic talent is very high and his understanding is excellent. Whenever ancient calligraphy passed before his eyes, he could not reach his intention of using a pen, nor did he stick to it.
Huang Tingjian is the most influential poet and calligrapher in the Northern Song Dynasty after Su Shi. He left Su Shi at the age of eight and swam under Su Shi's door. He was one of the "Four Bachelor's Degree Students of Su Men". He and Su Shi are also teachers and friends, and they will never turn against each other all their lives. In the history of calligraphy, Huang Tingjian has a high position. If we only create the personality of calligraphy, his achievements and influence are even above Su Shi's. Huang Tingjian's running script and cursive script are famous in the history of calligraphy in China. His running script is vigorous and powerful, and it can be said that it has a place in the history of calligraphy. Cursive stippling is a must in the history of calligraphy.
Miffy has the best traditional skills in Song Sijia. In the early days of his calligraphy, he called himself "Jiguzi". In other words, every word in his calligraphy has a source. It was only in his later years that he integrated these changes and formed his own family. However, in Song Sijia, his calligraphy is most closely related to the traditional umbilical cord, so on the surface, his calligraphy seems to have less personality and more inheritance. In fact, in the exquisite form of cursive script, Mi Fei has made great pioneering achievements. His running script is jumping, calm and happy; His cursive script is fierce and unrestrained.
Generally speaking, Cai in history books is Cai Xiang, but some people think it is Cai Jing. Both of them are famous in the history of calligraphy. Cai Xiang fonts are still restricted by the ancients, but there are also innovations. Cai Jing and his peers in Su Huang are also fluent and charming, similar to Miffy.
There are two people who can't help but mention the calligraphy of the Song Dynasty. One is Wang Zhu, the editor of the first large-scale calligraphy collection in China's calligraphy history, and the other is Song Huizong Evonne, a romantic emperor who lost his life in calligraphy and painting.
