Write down the memorial archway for three years
Since the Han and Wei Dynasties, there have been many people discussing calligraphy, with mixed quality and numerous items. Or repeat the previous viewpoints, and there is no new viewpoint to supplement the past; Or rush to produce new ideas, which is not good for the future; Make the cumbersome more cumbersome, and what is missing is still missing. Today, I wrote six articles, divided into two volumes, and listed my works in turn, named "Book Score". Expect a latecomer to apply it as a rule; I still hope that the four seas will know each other, or I can keep it for reference. I don't approve of keeping my life experience secret.

Make an appreciative comment
The most important calligraphy theory in the early Tang Dynasty was Sun's Book Score. This 3700-word magnum opus is profound and rich in content, involving all important aspects of China's calligraphy. Its insights are incisive and original, revealing the essence of calligraphy art and many important laws. It has become a landmark work in the history of ancient calligraphy theory in China, marking the development of China's calligraphy into a brand-new brilliant stage. Here, this paper focuses on the revelation and exposition of the essence of "expression" in calligraphy art in Shupu. What is the fundamental pursuit of calligraphy art? What is the essence of calligraphy? This is the real mature and conscious expression of China's calligraphy. Sun Shi's main theoretical contribution lies in his consistent exposition of the "expression" essence of China's calligraphy in Shu Pu.
First of all, Sun Shi stated that he had mastered the different characteristics of seal script, official script, cursive script and composition, and then rose to the art of writing, saying, "We should use Fengshen with caution and beauty with warmth; Drum with dry strength, and elegance. Therefore, it can achieve its feelings and form its sadness and joy. Special festivals that test dryness and humidity will remain. When you are old and strong, you will be a hundred years old. " That is to say, after mastering the writing characteristics of each style, we should use various artistic means, such as "Lin", "Wen", "Drum" and "Harmony", so that the characters' writing has a variety of opposite and complementary masculine beauty and feminine beauty, such as "Yan Run", "Bitter Progress" and "Elegant", which can be sublimated to the artistic realm; Only by entering this artistic realm can the ultimate pursuit of calligraphy be realized, and calligraphy works can produce long-term aesthetic effects of "eternal" and "hundred years old" (the feelings of a calligrapher at different times in his life can be seen instantly in his works). Express one's feelings, express one's joys and sorrows "is to express and embody the author's personality and emotions, that is, express one's emotions." Here, Sun Shi's calligraphy art hits the nail on the head, which is of great significance. Emotion, the fundamental proposition of China's calligraphy, is not only "to get rid of one's arm first" when describing the mentality of calligraphy creation by Cai Yong in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but "to express one's feelings with one's heart and hands" when describing how to embody "God" by Wang Sengqian in the Southern Qi Dynasty. No one regards it as the fundamental pursuit of calligraphy creation, but Sun Shi is unprecedented.
