Weibei calligraphy teacher

Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties is an important period in the history of calligraphy in China. Nantie, which is dominated by letters from literati in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (and Song, Qi, Liang and Chen Dynasties), and Beibei, which is dominated by inscriptions in the Northern Wei Dynasty, have formed two major artistic schools, namely, Tiexue and Beibei, which continue to influence contemporary calligraphy art. The representative of Nantie is Wang Xizhi, a "book saint" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the representative of Beitie is Zheng Daozhao, a calligrapher in Kaifeng, Northern Wei Dynasty.

With the popularization of calligraphy stele, the evaluation of Zheng Wengong stele is getting higher and higher. Ye, a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty, praised the tablet to the extreme. He said, "Zheng Daozhao's inscription on the upper and lower tablets of Yunfeng Mountain and his poems on Confucian classics have turned Qiao Ye in the north into a civilization, like a blue road." "Not only is the calligrapher in the Northern Dynasty the first, but there is only one person since the original book was published." Jia Zhu, a modern calligraphy theorist, commented on Zheng Daozhao in this way: "His achievements are by no means inferior to those of Wang Xizhi, but he should be regarded as a northern calligrapher, on an equal footing with Wang Xizhi.
