3. Introduction:
Chu Suiliang (596 ~ 659), whose name was Deng Shan. Originally from Yangzhai, Henan (now Yuzhou, Henan), he moved south to Qiantang, Hangzhou (now west of Hangzhou, Zhejiang) in the late Jin Dynasty.
Emperor Taizong was the Duke of Henan, and the world called him "Chu Henan". Bo dabbled in classics and worked in Li Kai. After Yu Shinan's death, Emperor Taizong sighed: "After Yu Shinan's death, no one can talk to the author!" Wei Zhi recommended Chu Suiliang, saying, "Chu Suiliang's hard writing has won a lot for Wang Yi." Emperor Taizong Bao loved Wang Xizhi's calligraphy and gave him gold and silk. At that time, Wang Shu was sent to Beijing, and it was difficult to distinguish between true and false. Only in this way can you judge and identify, and catalog and hide it within the government. His calligraphy inherited Wang Xizhi's tradition of being soft outside and rigid inside. His skillful brushwork is more important to the world. He, Ou Yangxun, Yu Shinan and Xue Qi are also called "four great masters in the early Tang Dynasty". During the reign of Emperor Taizong, he was very tired as a living lang, an admonisher, an official and a secretary. Later, he was demoted many times and died for opposing the establishment of Wu Zetian in Tang Gaozong. The ink handed down from generation to generation includes Ni Kuanzan, Yin Fu Jing, etc., and the inscriptions include the preface to the sacred teachings of Yanta, the monument to a Buddhist shrine in a que, and the square monument, etc.

This article mainly tells about xi 'an, Shaanxi Province, where there is the largest treasure house of calligraphy art in China, namely Xi 'an Forest of Steles. The forest of steles has collected more than 2,300 inscriptions from the Han and Wei Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The inscriptions were written by famous calligraphers of various dynasties, and they are really a collection of famous articles.
During the Southern and Northern Dynasties in China, Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, learned from others and created a delicate and delicate calligraphy style. This new writing style soon spread in the south. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, due to the advocacy of Emperor Taizong, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy was regarded as an original in the whole country, which had a great influence at that time.
Ou Yangxun was the first calligrapher in the early Tang Dynasty. His words are "vigorous and vigorous, and the statutes are strict", which is called "European style". Ou Yangxun studies books very hard. According to legend, once, he went out to read the inscription of Suo Jing, a calligrapher in the Western Jin Dynasty. At first glance, the impression is not deep; Later, he went to see it again and carefully observed and studied it. In his later years, Ou Yangxun's writing was more energetic. The Huangfu Birthday Monument in Xi 'an stele forest is his work.
Yan Zhenqing in Tang Dynasty was called another calligraphy innovator after Wang Xizhi by later generations. He took part in the imperial examination when he was young. In order to study, he resigned twice and went to Luoyang to study with the great calligrapher Zhang Xu. Zhang Xu saw that he was interested in learning books, so he taught him the method of writing books that he refused to tell others easily. Under the guidance of Zhang Xu, he studied hard and formed his own unique style, which is called "Yan Ti". Yan-style regular script is dignified and majestic, and the running script is vigorous and rich. Yan Zhenqing used a pen to hide the front evenly, which was just inside and warm outside, and the words were rounded and powerful. Yan stele in the forest of steles is his work.
After Yan Zhenqing, the influential calligrapher was Liu Gongquan. He was a beginner of Wang Xizhi and later visited a famous calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty. He thinks that Yan Zhenqing and harmony are the best, so he absorbs the advantages of Yan and Europe and becomes a whole. His calligraphy is vigorous and rigorous. There is a saying of "Yan Gu" in the world. The mysterious pagoda monument in the forest of steles is his masterpiece.
The calligraphy of the forest of steles is beautiful, and it is a treasure in China's art treasure house. The masterpieces left by the masters of art still shine brilliantly.
