China's calligraphy style is one of the aesthetic categories of calligraphy art. As a form of expression, it is representative as a whole, and it is a sign that one calligrapher (or a group of calligraphers) is different from another calligrapher (or a group of calligraphers). How do calligraphers form their own calligraphy style? Because the style of calligraphy is the key point, the calligrapher's unique artistic creation personality. Therefore, when a calligrapher forms his own strong personality characteristics in his own works and shows significant artistic significance, it can be said that the calligrapher has formed his own calligraphy style. For example, Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi's writing style is elegant and beautiful; Ou Yangxun's style is rigorous; Yan Zhenqing style is vigorous; These calligraphers formed their own unique artistic style, and influenced contemporary or later calligraphers, forming a calligraphy school.
The style of books embodies the characteristics of the times. Different times have different aesthetic tastes and standards, so calligraphy styles also have different trends of the times. In the history of calligraphy, it is often said that the Han Dynasty advocates imposing manner, the Jin Dynasty advocates verve, the Tang Dynasty advocates statutes, the Song Dynasty advocates freehand brushwork, the Yuan Dynasty advocates artistic conception, the Ming Dynasty advocates elegant taste, and the Qing Dynasty advocates simplicity. The above is the most concise summary of the mainstream trend of calligraphy in various times. Ancient calligraphy, such as inscriptions in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, can be summarized into two types: vigorous and elegant; As for Qin Zhuan, Li Han, Cao Jin and Tang Kai, what they pursue is implicit brushwork. Tang books are characterized by miscellaneous and overgrown weeds, while Song books are characterized by interesting.
Calligraphy is an art form that takes Chinese characters as the material carrier and expresses charm and color. It is a calligrapher's historical pursuit to improve the artistic taste and style of calligraphy and its artistic quality. Weeds is a shining example of this historical pursuit. The glorious style of advocating Yi calligraphy in Song Dynasty is also a model of this historical style. In the history of calligraphy in Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, running script has always occupied an important position, which is not the ability of weeds. The main reason lies in the rich potential of calligraphy and the rich connotation of calligraphy beauty. The style of regular script is solemn and rigorous, serious and beautiful, but it lacks vitality and attractive temperament; The style of Weeds is limited to vertical and horizontal constraints, characterized by unrestrained personality but relatively shallow connotation.
The form of running script is leisurely, peaceful and quiet, and its far-reaching space and content are infinite. Therefore, running script has always occupied a dominant position in the history of calligraphy. With the development of calligraphy in China, a combination of running script and cursive script appeared, which is called running script. This font combines the characteristics of running script and cursive script and becomes a new calligraphy style. There are both the quietness and profound artistic conception space of running script and the unrestrained nature of cursive script. Compared with cursive script, it is vivid, romantic and rich in connotation. Very popular, there is a market in reality. I like this calligraphy style very much, which is also one of my main calligraphy styles.
