Analysis of the style of calligraphy art creation is basically divided by dynasties or schools. For example, the regular script in the history of China's calligraphy is flexible and changeable, with a central writing, which hides the head and protects the tail, and has a rigorous and solemn beauty. Celebrities came forth in large numbers in the Tang Dynasty, forming regular script with Ou Yangxun, Yu Shinan, Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan as the main representatives. Its style is vigorous and powerful, and inscriptions have become a major system of regular script, such as the inscription of Liquan in Jiucheng Palace in Ou Yangxun, the tablet of Confucius Temple Hall in Yu Shinan, the tablet of Qinzha and Xuanta in Yan Zhenqing, etc.
The calligraphy in the Tang Dynasty is characterized by respecting the law, and Tang Kai is an important symbol of Tang Wenhua's spirit. At this time, calligraphy theory came into being, and the well-known "Yong" regular script technique was comprehensively and systematically summarized, thus further promoting the development of regular script.
"Although martial arts set the world, eventually to Wende age sea. The way of civil and military affairs is just the right time. " Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, attached great importance to calligraphy and humanistic cultivation, and personally wrote a biography of Wang Xizhi, a calligraphy sage. Emperor Taizong took a fancy to Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, which is elegant and handsome. For example, the aesthetic principle of "Yi Long jumps into the sky and a tiger lies on the phoenix" is consistent with the aesthetic concept of the early Tang Dynasty.
Ou Yangxun is the first great calligrapher famous for regular script in the history of calligraphy in China. He was born in 557 ad and died in 64 1 year at the age of 84. He was born in Linxiang, Tanzhou (now Changsha, Hunan). Ou Yangxun, a beginner of "Two Kings", later learned the laws of Qin Zhuan, Han Li and Wei Bei, and established his own family, which was called "European style". The characteristics of its opening method can be summarized as: 1, thick and straight, steep and sharp; 2, elegant and beautiful, thin and handsome; 3. The rules are correct and meticulous; 4, patchwork, size and method. His calligraphy was valued by the ruling and opposition parties at that time. "New Tang Book" evaluates Ou Yangxun's calligraphy as "letters handed down from generation to generation, and people think that law; Han tried to ask for it. " His masterpiece The Inscription of Liquan in Jiucheng Palace was written by Ou Yangxun at the age of 76, at the request of imperial edict. When writing, it is respectful and earnest, meticulous, rigorous in statutes and thin in brushwork. I saw Fiona Fang in weightlifting and weightlifting, and I saw rigor in Shu Lang. In the meantime, the palace in the frame structure is tight, open in four dimensions and moderately connected. Seeing rigor in fairness, Tang people are square and profitable, which has become a classic for future generations to learn regular script.
The reason why "European Wind" is so popular is that, in addition to Fiona Fang's brushwork, it moves Teton's hidden dew away from the center, especially highlighting the firm and soft brushwork. In Ou Yangxun's pen theory, there is a saying that "when you are upright, you will draw iron, but when you are charming, you will feel like a silver hook". Calligraphy should have a distinct image and texture, just like "drawing iron with a silver hook". What is more exciting is that Ou Yangxun summed up the "36 methods" of regular script in his long-term practice of calligraphy creation. In this "thirty-six methods of structure", by overlapping, inserting, avoiding, leaning to one side, facing backward and picking? Fill, glue, drag, increase or decrease, Speed, persistence, regression, Italy, small size, height? , length, fatness, etc. The composition of Chinese characters and the inherent beauty of calligraphy have been carefully displayed in the stipulations of people's visual feelings.
It can be said that in the Tang Dynasty, represented by Ou Yangxun, "respecting the law" has become a basic aesthetic principle. The pen structure is balanced, symmetrical, diverse and unified, and the pen is rigorous and orderly, and the pen is standardized. "European style" calligraphy and calligraphy theory followed the aesthetic fashion of the times and established "statutes", thus making the calligraphy of the Tang Dynasty go down in history as a bright spot in the history of calligraphy in China.
