Calligraphy in this period is called "official script", which is the first official handwritten font in the history of calligraphy in China. The official script is unified, and the strokes are steady and powerful, which replaced the early ancient seal script and was widely used in the writing of documents and official documents at that time. In addition, the calligraphy before the Eastern Jin Dynasty also included cursive script, running script and other fonts, which enriched the development of calligraphy art in China.
As follows:
The Eastern Jin Dynasty (365,438+07 ~ 420) was a dynasty established after Si Marui, the royal family of the Western Jin Dynasty, moved southward. In addition, the history books also imitate the Eastern Han Dynasty, calling the Eastern Jin Dynasty the Middle Jin Dynasty, implying the revival of the Jin Dynasty. In addition, most of the areas ruled by the Eastern Jin Dynasty were in Jiangdong, which was called Jiangzuo in ancient times, so Jiangzuo was referred to as the Eastern Jin Dynasty for short.
The Eastern Jin Dynasty was aristocratic politics, which coexisted with the northern five lakes and sixteen countries. This historical period is also known as the Sixteen Countries of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the interior was once divided. The Eastern Jin Dynasty, before Sun Wu, followed by Song, Qi, Liang and Chen, were collectively referred to as the Six Dynasties.
The Eastern Jin Dynasty tried many times to explore the north, but because of internal disunity, nothing was achieved except the final usurpation of the throne by Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty. Zu Ti had hoped to restore his old place, but he was taken hostage by Si Marui and died of depression. Huan Wen's Northern Expedition was defeated by Fu Xiong and Mu Rongchui.
In the eighth year of Taiyuan (383), Fu Jian, the former king of Qin, led an invasion to the south, and Xie Anli, the prime minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, took the lead in fighting, and sent Xie Shi and Xie Xuan to lead the army, which won a great victory in the battle of Feishui. Fu Jian fled to the north alone, and the separatist regime between the north and the south was formed.
Later, Huan Xuan rebelled, abolished Andi and became the son of heaven. Later, he was leveled by the general. He supported Gongdi, but he lost power. In the second year of Yuanxi (420), Emperor Wu abolished Gong Jin and established Liu Song. The Eastern Jin Dynasty perished, and the history of China entered the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
In fact, it took Si Marui 3 1 1 year to establish political power in Jiankang. At that time, the Western Jin Dynasty was on the verge of collapse, but there was no obvious demise. The time when the Eastern Jin Dynasty was established is usually considered as the time when Si Marui proclaimed himself emperor. The Eastern Jin regime maintained a long-term local rule, and its territory was generally limited to the south of the Huaihe River and the Yangtze River basin.
Accordingly, the north was basically divided, and 16 countries appeared successively, so this period was generally called sixteen countries or sixteen countries in Wuhu, and together with the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it was called sixteen countries in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
