Tang Zhongzong Jinglong three years (AD 709)-Tang Dezong Zhenyuan first year (AD 785), 77 years old, was born in Linyi (Shandong Linyi). This word is clear. He is a representative figure of calligraphy innovation in the middle Tang Dynasty, and his regular script is dignified and majestic, with an open momentum. Running script is easy and colorful. His calligraphy is not only influenced by the charm and charm in the previous style of calligraphy, but also not bound by the ancient law. It breaks through the conventions of the early Tang Dynasty and is unique and named "quiver". Song Ouyang Xiu commented: "Thinking about life is loyal, so calligraphy and painting are strong and independent, and they don't attack the past. They are quite magical, a bit like people. In the Song Dynasty, Zhu listed his calligraphy as a sacred product in "Continued Book Break". " He also commented: "The point is like a falling stone, the painting is like Xia Yun, the hook is like gold, and the bow is like a crossbow. There are images in both vertical and horizontal directions, and there is a low posture. Since the dedication, no one has said it. "
Duke Lu is a great figure in the history of calligraphy. Its official books are famous for their great strength, such as "the sword is destroyed and the momentum is shocked", represented by the strict temple monument. As for everyone on the cliff, it is magnificent, especially in the Tang Dynasty. At the highest level, those who show the spirit of rushing far away will push Li's memorial tablet. The grass is strong, beautiful and full of ancient meaning, and the manuscript of offering sacrifices to nephews is the first.
China occupies a special position in the history of calligraphy. Only Yan Zhenqing can shine alongside the great calligrapher Wang Xizhi. His calligraphy features regular script and cursive script. The inscriptions written in regular script are correct, beautiful and powerful. He was born when regular script was popular, which was contrary to Wang Xizhi's typical example and led the new trend of calligraphy.
Yan Zhenqing was born a scholar, and became the governor of the plain, which made him famous all over the world. The Anshi Rebellion reached john young, and all counties in Hebei surrendered. Only Yan Zhenqing stuck to Pingyuan City and did his best for the rebel leaders and the Tang Dynasty. Finally, he was ordered by Dezong to surrender to the rebel Li Xilie and was killed. And his loyal and strong deeds all his life have improved his position in calligraphy. Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy is like a person, always using the front. Therefore, the so-called eight-part brushwork of Yan Fa has less artistic value, but this brushwork can give full play to men's calmness and fortitude.
After the mid-Tang Dynasty, the old system was in a state of disintegration due to the separatist regime and war. The establishment of a new model of regular script in Yan Zhenqing is the embodiment of the reconstruction of the new order. However, the regular script with strict rules was far from the social background at that time, so after the end of the Tang Dynasty, the development of calligraphy art focused on cursive script, and the classical model finally gave way to the lyrical style of individualism.
Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy is called Yan Style, which has its unique style and brushwork. There are many inscriptions left by him, and later calligraphers think that traces of "round pen" can be found in some of his inscriptions, which is different from other calligraphers' "Fang Bi".
Yan Zhenqing is regarded as a pioneer by calligraphers with round pens. The use of square pens by him and Wang Xizhi had a far-reaching influence on later generations.
Yan Zhenqing's existing calligraphy works include: Duota Monument, Yan Family Temple Monument, Yan Monument, Ma Gu Xian Tan, and Sacrifice to Bo Manuscript. He and Liu Gongquan, another famous calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, were called "Yan Liu".
His works are numerous, and it is said that there are 130 kinds handed down. Many regular script are valued by later generations, such as Twin Towers, Oriental Painting Praise Monument, Magu Fairy Altar, Guo Monument and Li Yanqin Monument. These inscriptions are regular script with personality, characteristics and positive style, but the strokes are thin and thick, and the feet are too weak, so it is required to be verve when learning. His running script "Ji Ming's Nephew's Manuscript" is a work of grief and indignation, and it is called the second running script in the world. The running script also includes "Competing for Seats" and "General Pei's Post".
Multi-Pagoda Monument, full name "Induction Inscription of Multi-Pagoda in Qianfu Temple in Xijing, Datang": regular script, written by Cenxun, inscribed by Xu Hao. The font is symmetrical and plump. In the 11th year of Tianbao in Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty (AD 725), it was established in April. The monument is preserved in the forest of steles in Xi, Shaanxi.
Strict body is broad, magnificent, heavy and simple; Strict European laws and regulations mean that things are quiet and risks are safe; Liu is thin, hard and strong, and has strong bone strength; Zhao Ti is luxurious and elegant, handsome and graceful. Each of the four schools has its own strengths, but there are also many difficulties as a template for beginners. The face is ribbed, the needles are hidden in cotton, and there is rigidity in softness. European calligraphy style is subtle and rigorous. Ou and Yan are more difficult to learn, and it is not easy to master the essentials in the primary stage. Liu Ti's procedural tendency is obvious, and it is easier to enter the post than to leave it. Zhao Ti's fluency and beauty are its strengths, but it also has the weakness of insufficient delay. If you don't learn well, you will tend to be vulgar and flashy. Although it is beneficial to application, from the perspective of artistic development, it is better to learn it later.
