However, due to the particularity of calligraphy works, especially paper Mo Bao, it is difficult to preserve. Therefore, it has also led to many original works of ancient great calligraphers, which are difficult to preserve until now. Under such circumstances, Yan Zhenqing's original works are few and far between.
First, the first archaeological discovery of the original Yan Zhenqing. The epitaph written by Yan Zhenqing was discovered this time. Yan Zhenqing could write an epitaph in the Tang Dynasty, which also showed that the owner of the epitaph was a noble. After all, in the Tang Dynasty, Yan Zhenqing was not only a calligrapher, but also a man of great power.
Judging from the epitaph, this epitaph is Yan Zhenqing's early work. At that time, Yan Zhenqing had not formed his own calligraphy system. Therefore, studying the characteristics of Yan Zhenqing's early works is also helpful to study the formation process of Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy characteristics.
Secondly, it is not easy for Mo Bao to preserve Yan Zhenqing, a great calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty. His Mo Bao is actually very limited. At the same time, after the baptism of war and fire in recent years, there are even fewer original calligraphy works of Yan Zhenqing that can be found. Of course, even if some collectors have the original Yan Zhenqing, they will not take it out easily. This also led to the scarcity of Yan Zhenqing's original works.
Third, Yan Zhenqing has existed for too long. Yan Zhenqing's position in the history of calligraphy is still very high. At the same time, due to the distinctive features of Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy, many people place their hopes on Mo Bao in Yan Zhenqing. However, after all, Yan Zhenqing was a great calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty. Even though Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy works are well preserved, after thousands of years, few can be preserved.
