The Artistic Style of Loulan Literature Paper Scraps

There are many reasons for Loulan's calligraphy style. In addition to the general factors of calligraphy art, the influence of the special natural and humanistic environment in this area on the development of calligraphy art cannot be ruled out. Judging from the writing forms and signatures of some residual paper and ink, local ethnic minorities also studied China's calligraphy, and some works were written by local ethnic minorities. Judging from the content of Loulan's simple paper calligraphy, except for a few pieces of paper, it is basically practical calligraphy in daily life, so most of these ink marks show the writer's simple personality. There are very few ink paintings handed down during the Han and Jin Dynasties, and almost all of them were copied by later generations, except for Pingfu posts. However, the excavation of Loulan bamboo slips made up for this gap. The artistic value of these inks is irreplaceable by inscriptions. Loulan bamboo slips have various forms of calligraphy, including official script, cursive script, running script, regular script and so on. Their artistic styles are even more colorful, some are bold and unrestrained, some are exquisite and elegant, some are impenetrable and full of books, and some are ethereal and chic, full of interest without deliberately seeking merit. The different styles of Loulan's calligraphy can be seen only from more than ten China ink marks of the word "Loulan" in Loulan bamboo slips. The creators of Loulan Shanshan's calligraphy works include residents of Han nationality and other nationalities, their local residents and officials who migrated from the Central Plains and Hexi generation. Different authors have different artistic styles and cultural backgrounds. They gathered in Shanshan, Loulan, a special humanistic and natural environment, and created a brand-new school of calligraphy art, which occupies an extremely important position in the history of calligraphy art in China and has high academic research value.
