Which school does Chairman Mao's calligraphy belong to?

Chairman Mao's calligraphy does not belong to any faction. It is a cursive script that combines the writing styles of many calligraphers. Generally, I call it cursive, but it is different from cursive. Now, in terms of name, it is generally called "Mao Zedong Font" or "Caotanzhai Mao Zedong Font", which is referred to as "hairstyle" for short.

Mao Zedong's calligraphy uses the eternal charm, melting a hundred schools in one furnace, dancing dragons and snakes, elegant and elegant, magnificent and unrestrained. Thanks to the ancient calligraphers, his calligraphy style laid a solid foundation in the Han, Wei, Sui, Jin and Tang Dynasties. His calligraphy achievement lies in Weeds, which originated from Zhang Xu and Huai Su. After middle age, he has formed a unique personal style: Wang Yang is unrestrained, ups and downs, and has a strong visual aesthetic feeling.

Mao Zedong especially likes to write ancient poems in his font. In the long run, he became superb in the field of calligraphy. Judging from hundreds of original works, Mao Zedong's calligraphy and poetry are very harmonious and integrated, heroic, desolate, euphemistic and intense. Some people describe him as the "two kings" (that is, Wang Xizhi and his father and son), Sun Zhimei, his crazy charm, Huai Su's debauchery and Su Huang's wealth.

Mao Zedong was recognized as a great calligrapher in China in the 20th century, and his unique "Mao style" calligraphy art was recognized by the calligraphy circle. Hairstyle calligraphy has been respected and loved by the vast number of calligraphers in China, and various books, calligraphy and paintings on the art of hairstyle calligraphy have come out one after another. Now, societies, research institutes, art galleries and creative centers specializing in Mao calligraphy have been established all over China. Calligraphy lovers who love Mao Zedong's calligraphy think that his cursive script in his later years is perfect, with vigorous brushwork, unrestrained Wang Yang, bold lines to the left and strong sense of movement.
