In the Jin Dynasty, he advocated elegance and taste in life, and pursued the beauty of moderation and modesty in art. Calligraphers came forth in large numbers, and bamboo slips were the two kings (Wang Xizhi. Wang Xianzhi) Yan Fang's artistic taste caters to the requirements of literati, and people are more and more aware of the aesthetic value of words. Wang Xizhi is the most representative and influential calligrapher in the history of calligraphy in Wei and Jin Dynasties, and is known as the "sage of calligraphy". Wang Xizhi's running script Preface to Lanting is known as "the best running script in the world". Critics say that his writing style is like floating clouds, and his son Wang Xianzhi's Ode to Luoshen is magnificent, and his "breaking the body" and "brushstroke" are a great contribution in the history of calligraphy. Driven by Lu Ji, Wei and Jin Dynasties, Suo Jing, Wang Dao, Xie An, Liang Jian and other calligraphy families, Nanzong calligraphy flourished. Yang Xin, Qi, Xiao Ziyun and Chen of Liang in the Southern Song Dynasty all followed in his footsteps.
At the peak of calligraphy in Jin Dynasty, it was mainly manifested in running script, which was a font between cursive script and regular script. His representative works "Sanxi", namely "Yuan Bo Tie", "Sunshine Tie in Fast Snow" and "Mid-Autumn Festival Tie".
3. Southern and Northern Dynasties
During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, China's calligraphy art entered the era of "Bei Bei Nan Tie".
The Northern Wei Dynasty and the Eastern Wei Dynasty are the best calligraphers in the Northern Dynasties, and their styles are also colorful. Representative works include Zhang Menglong Monument and Shi Jing Jun Monument. The representative works in the inscription are: thousands of words are really grass. The Northern Dynasties praised their ancestors and revealed their family business, and carved many stones, such as the North Monument and the South Post, the North Tour, the North People and the South Land, and the North Glory and the South Show. These are two basic differences.
For example, the representative work of the North-South School is Heming written by Nan Liang. The "Zheng Wengong Monument" in the Northern Wei Dynasty can be described as a binary star between the North and the South. Most northern writers are Shu Ren, whose books are anonymous, so calligraphy is crowned as "the sage in the book", while northern writers include Wang Youjun.
