1. Calligraphy history after Tang Dynasty
After the Tang Dynasty, few calligraphers were interested in calligraphy. From the late Tang Dynasty to the early 1970s, only a few people, such as Xu Xuan, Guo Zhongshu and Hezhang, were famous for their titles. The reason may be related to the fact that seal script was very old and serious in people's eyes at that time, and it was impossible to play its personality at will. Besides, Song people were more interested in calligraphy.
2. Calligraphy history after Yuan Dynasty.
The attention paid to calligraphy in Yuan Dynasty focused on the previous generation of calligraphy, and calligraphy developed. Calligraphy was influenced by Jin Dynasty before Yuan Dynasty and inherited the rest of Yan Zhenqing, Su Shi and Mi Fei. There are also many good calligraphy handed down from generation to generation. Many people have extensively explored and seriously studied the masterpieces of ancient celebrities, and after studying the ancient traditions, "Tuoba Reconstruction" can restore and develop the traditional laws of Jin and Tang Dynasties. Since the Southern Song Dynasty, the so-called "evil calligraphy decoration" formed by literati "keeping pace with the times and attaching importance to books" opened the calligraphy style of the Yuan Dynasty. Therefore, Zhao Mengfu is known as the pioneer of the Yuan Dynasty. On the basis of inheriting the traditional methods of ancient masters, the overall development trend of calligraphy in Yuan Dynasty reversed the decline of calligraphy style after the Southern Song Dynasty. The performance of scripts and operas in the Yuan Dynasty was more prominent, and books such as regular script and official script were restored and developed accordingly, but few people used them.
3. The final result of calligraphy in Yuan Dynasty
In the process of advocating retro, Zhao Ziang, an early calligrapher, thought that calligraphy in Song Dynasty had come to an end. However, due to the opening of politics, calligraphers wrote with their own ideas and appeared in the name of the Ming Dynasty, which laid the foundation for the integration of multi-ethnic cultures. The rulers of the primitive dynasty wanted to conquer the Han nationality, and the culture of the Han nationality conquered some ethnic minorities. Calligraphers in Yuan Dynasty attached great importance to restoring ancient ways, which enabled all kinds of books to be fully revived. After Wei and Jin Dynasties, official script was rarely used, but it became popular after Yuan Dynasty. Many people used official script in Yuan Dynasty, and cursive calligraphy appeared in several books. Since Zhao Ziang, the combination of poetry, calligraphy and painting is a breakthrough in art form.
