1. Yan Zhenqing was a famous calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty. His calligraphy has now evolved into copybooks, which are sold at the gates of major schools. Not only that, Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan are also called "Yan Gu", which is also respected by later generations for these two calligraphers. "Yan Jin" means that Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy is quite powerful. It has been circulated for a long time and has become a calligraphy style.
2. The appearance of "Yan Ti" is inseparable from Yan Zhenqing's own continuous attempts and innovations. At first, Yan Zhenqing studied calligraphy with Chu Suiliang, absorbed the advantages of Chu Suiliang's calligraphy, and then applied it to his own calligraphy. Later, he discussed calligraphy with Zhang Xu, Huai Su, etc. Great changes have taken place in calligraphy in the Tang Dynasty, which broke away from the original calligraphy style. So why can "Yan Ti" spread to today and be liked and copied by most people? I think it's because of Yan Zhenqing's creative changes, constant changes and development, which eventually became a widely circulated calligraphy system today.
3. First of all, Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy has its own characteristics and advantages. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, Yan Zhenqing's fonts were rectangular, square and round, and each stroke was vigorous and powerful, giving people a sense of grandeur and longing for Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy. At this time, people began to copy Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy. From the dignified calligraphy at the beginning to the lankiness in the early Tang Dynasty, it is a change of Yan Zhenqing's own character and an innovation of calligraphy, just as some people say that a person's character can be seen from his font. It can be seen that it is Yan Zhenqing who creatively changed and constantly developed calligraphy, and at the same time integrated his own personality, so that his calligraphy can be accepted by most people. He advocates the combination of calligraphy beauty and personality beauty. It can be said that Yan Zhenqing's own creativity and constant pursuit of calligraphy have made a generation of calligraphers.
4. Secondly, Yan Zhenqing initiated a new realm of calligraphy. At the same time, he also wrote many works, which all reflected the unique beauty of "Yan Ti". With the continuous development, inkstone body has its own unique charm. This charm is reflected in many of Yan Zhenqing's works. For example, his masterpiece Zhushantang Lian Shi Tie is a brilliant poem in regular script. The majestic momentum revealed in calligraphy and his famous cursive script reveal his chic and open-minded. Yan Zhenqing's original works have become priceless and have been observed by the world. It can be seen that it is Yan Zhenqing who creatively changed and continuously developed calligraphy, and at the same time wrote various famous works, which can be passed down to future generations and make his calligraphy pass down through the ages. It can be said that Yan Zhenqing's own creativity and constant pursuit of calligraphy made a brilliant calligraphy period in the history of China.
5. In addition, in Yan Zhenqing's works in his later years, the works in different periods showed distinctive features, which laid the foundation for the development of "Yan Ti". Before the age of 50, it was a special period in his life. During this period, he initially established the development trend of "inkstone style", which evolved from slender font to square font and won the love of the majority of people who love calligraphy. It is said that 50 years old is the dividing line, and Confucius also said that 50 years old knows destiny. So, after 50 years old, under the constant innovation of Yan Zhenqing, the "face style" gradually matured, and Yan Zhenqing kept trying to figure out and change, and finally created a font that was loved by the world. It can be seen that it is Yan Zhenqing who creatively changed and constantly developed calligraphy, and at the same time changed the different styles of Yan Ti in different times, so that Yan Ti can stand the test of history and glow with a different kind of light. It can be said that Yan Zhenqing's own creativity and constant pursuit of calligraphy have made the unique charm of Yan Ti.
