What kind of calligraphy did Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty excel in?

Tang Taizong should have written in cursive script. Tang Taizong fully praised Wang Xizhi and put him in the position of one person through the ages. He frantically collected Wang Xizhi's original calligraphy, buried him in Lanting Pavilion and gathered the king's holy religion, which led to the crowd of later generations. There was a clamor to respect Wang Xizhi as the sage of calligraphy. Of course, Wang Xizhi clearly deserved the name of sage of calligraphy.

In the 14th year of Emperor Taizong's reign, he wrote cursive script on the screen to show his officials. The writing power is so powerful that it is a masterpiece of a moment. He once said to the courtiers:

"Learning a small way of calligraphy is not an urgent task at first. Sometimes I pay attention to it, but it is still better than abandoning it. Those who fail to learn all kinds of arts are suffering from a lack of mental strength

If you are lazy, you cannot concentrate on the ear." He also said: "When I read the ancients' books, I didn't learn the form, but only the strength of the bones and the form.

Taste it. The third rank has been summoned and a banquet was given to Xuanwu Gate. The emperor wrote Fei Bai Shu, and the ministers drank wine and competed with each other in Taizong's hands.

Sanqi often served Liu Jie, climbed on the royal bed to attract his hand, and then got it. Those who fail to do so will be called "Jie Deng". The crime is worthy of death. Please pay justice. Taizong said with a smile: "I heard Jie Yu's farewell to the chariot in the past, but now I see her often attending the bed." (published in "Shang Shu Gu")

In the 14th year of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin Zhenguan, I wrote a set of screens in real cursive and showed them to the officials. The calligraphy of this set of screens

is powerful. It can be called the best real cursive calligraphy at that time. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty once said to his ministers: "Calligraphy is a small knowledge.

Don't rush for success when you are new to learning. Study hard and practice writing every day, which is better than fishing for three days and drying nets for two days. . There are all kinds of skills in the world. If you study it with your heart, you will not gain anything. The problem is that you cannot go all out to study it carefully.

"Tang Taizong also said: "I copied the calligraphy copybooks of the ancients, and I did not deliberately imitate the shape and structure of each character, but spent my time on understanding the style and style of the writing. Once you understand it thoroughly, you will naturally grasp the body structure. "Tang Dynasty

Taizong often summoned his subordinates of the third rank and above to have banquets at Xuanwu Gate. Taizong himself wrote Feibai cursive script, and the ministers took advantage of the wine and took the pen from Taizong's hand to write in comparison. Liu Ji, a regular attendant of Sanqi, climbed onto the bed where the emperor rested and took the pen from Taizong's hand. The ministers who did not grab the pen all said in unison that Liu Ji's climb onto the dragon's bed exceeded the etiquette of a monarch

and should be punished with death, and unanimously demanded that he be punished in accordance with the laws of the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty smiled and said: "My dear friends, please don't talk like this! In the past, I heard that there was a palace official named Ban Jieyu in the Han Dynasty. She was willing to retreat to the East Palace instead of accompanying the king. . Today

I have Liu Changshi who climbed onto the dragon bed and snatched the pen from the king’s hand!”
