Besides cursive and regular script, what about other calligraphy styles in the Tang Dynasty?

To answer this question and understand why people have this understanding, we need to have a simple understanding of the background. The Tang Dynasty is an era in which all kinds of calligraphy flourished, but there are many works about cursive and regular script, which have far-reaching influence. The prosperity of cursive script and the mainstream academic opinions are largely determined by Emperor Taizong's preference for it. He even wrote a blank sheet of paper at the banquet, which ministers took from Emperor Taizong when drinking. Plus the collection and imitation of cursive scripts in Wei and Jin Dynasties (especially those written by Wang Xizhi). The emperor is even more so, leading such a mainstream atmosphere can be seen. I don't think the success of regular script is caused by the style of "Tang Shangfa", which is a summary of later generations. On the contrary, I think this is a kind of inheritance of the development history of regular script. No matter Yu Shinan, Ou Yangxun or Chu Suiliang, they all just inherited the epitaph style of the Sui Dynasty-especially developed that kind of bone strength, and it was in the middle Tang Dynasty that Yan Zhenqing really changed. In addition, Yan Zhenqing is a senior official, a "surname of the prince" and the founding father of Lu Feng County, namely "Yan Lugong". His integrity increased his chips, made his book suit, and influenced Liu Gongquan later, even the generation of Song-style characters, which resulted in the source of China elements in lettering art, which is the significance of Tang Kai. In short, the once popular atmosphere led the trend, naturally leaving too many mainstream masterpieces handed down from generation to generation. Therefore, it is understandable that people now think that only cursive script and regular script have made achievements in the Tang Dynasty. In fact, in addition, there are also books developed. For example, Li, "Yang lived in the ancient seal script for almost 30 years", and his seal script was very good, calling himself "after Weng, until" (that is, after Li Si). . . )。 But judging from the handed down seal script works, he did, and the previous iron line seal script was finally passed to him (I also visited the three graves he wrote). There are also official scripts, which are good in Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, but lack of ancient rhyme and low style, haha. There are Liang Shengqing and others. . . However, there are really not many influential masters, and they have reached a * * * knowledge in academic circles. There is also the Dunhuang Sutra, which I have been keen on in recent years. For the art of calligraphy, the hidden learning here has become an obvious learning, but it is not easy to analyze it. But one thing is clear, these are all a kind of inheritance, and each style of writing has its meaning of existence. Unlike western art history-it denies the former and redefines a style. China's ancient art means to strive for perfection.
