Chinese Qing Dynasty court engraving. Engraved in the twelfth year of Qianlong's reign (1747). Emperor Hongli ordered Liang Shizheng, the Minister of Civil Affairs, Jiang Pu, the Minister of Household Affairs, and others to select the essence of the calligraphy works of the past dynasties collected in the inner palace and have them engraved by Song Zhang, Guoguo, Erge, Jiao Lin, and others. The Fa Tie is divided into 32 volumes, with more than 500 carved stones, and collects more than 300 calligraphy works by 134 calligraphers from the Wei, Jin to the end of the Ming Dynasty. Because the Tie contains three rare pieces, it was regarded as rare by Emperor Qianlong at the time. The calligraphy of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, including Wang Xizhi's "Kuai Xue Shi Qing Tie", Wang Xianzhi's "Mid-Autumn Tie" and Wang Xun's "Bo Yuan Tie", and the place where these three rare treasures are collected is also called Sanxi Hall. Therefore, the dharma calligraphy was named "Sanxitang dharma calligraphy". The full name is "Imperial engraved Sanxitang Shiqu Baoji dharma calligraphy". The original stone carvings of the method are embedded in the wall of Yuegu Building in Beihai Park, Beijing
The ancient Cangjie "had no idea of ??the changes in the world, looked up at the curves of Kuixing, looked down at the fish and birds, and knew the mountains and rivers, and then created words ". In later generations, oracle bone inscriptions, ancient inscriptions (bronze inscriptions), large seal scripts (Zhouwen), small seal scripts (official eight points), cursive script, running script, and real scripts evolved in sequence. By the Sui and Tang Dynasties, calligraphy flourished, and seal script, official script, and regular script became popular in the world. Calligraphers such as Wang Xizhi, Zhang Xu, Ouyang Xun, Yan Zhenqing, Liu Gongquan, Zhao Mengfu, Mi Fu and other calligraphers are each good at their own specialties, leading the development of various calligraphy styles and making calligraphy creation more brilliant.
Up to the Qing Dynasty, the Manchu calligraphy art also reached its peak, and all the Qing emperors were good at calligraphy and painting. In the twelfth year of Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1747), Emperor Qianlong ordered his courtiers to compile and engrave "Sanxitang Dharma Calligraphy" to collect calligraphy treasures from all dynasties.
The original name of "Sanxi Hall" was "Greenhouse", which was originally the place where Emperor Qianlong studied. Emperor Qianlong collected three rare calligraphy treasures here: Wang Xizhi's "Kuaixue Shiqing Tie", Wang Xianzhi's "Mid-Autumn Tie" and Wang Xun's "Boyuan Tie". They often played with them and changed the name after them. Later, Emperor Qianlong ordered his courtiers to compile and engrave "Sanxitang Dharma Notes", which included the famous calligraphers from the Wei and Jin Dynasties collected in the imperial palace, including these three treasures.
The "Sanxitang Dharma Tie" is well-carved and has a large volume. It can be called a giant among the series of Tie-ups. After completion, only dozens of copies were made and given to the favored ministers. Later, in the seventeenth year of Qianlong's reign, he again carefully selected five volumes of Dharma books of famous people from the past dynasties from the palace collection and copied them on stone. At this point, the "Sanxitang Dharma Tie" was completed. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, its spread began to spread widely. The original stone is embedded in the wall of the ancient building in Beihai Park, Beijing.
