Yan Zhenqing character introduction:
Yan Zhenqing was born a scholar, and became the governor of the plain, which made him famous all over the world. The Anshi Rebellion reached john young, and all counties in Hebei surrendered. Only Yan Zhenqing stuck to Pingyuan City and did his best for the rebel leaders and the Tang Dynasty. Finally, he was ordered by Dezong to surrender to the rebel Li Xilie and was killed. And his loyal and strong deeds all his life have improved his position in calligraphy. Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy is like a person, always using the front. Therefore, the so-called eight-part brushwork of Yan Fa has less artistic value, but this brushwork can give full play to men's calmness and fortitude.
After the mid-Tang Dynasty, the old system was in a state of disintegration due to the separatist regime and war. The establishment of a new model of regular script in Yan Zhenqing is the embodiment of the reconstruction of the new order. However, the regular script with strict rules was far from the social background at that time, so after the end of the Tang Dynasty, the development of calligraphy art focused on cursive script, and the classical model finally gave way to the lyrical style of individualism.
The characteristics of Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy:
Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy is called Yan Style, which has its unique style and brushwork. There are many inscriptions left by him, and later calligraphers think that traces of "round pen" can be found in some of his inscriptions, which is different from other calligraphers' "Fang Bi".
Yan Zhenqing is regarded as a pioneer by calligraphers with round pens. The use of square pens by him and Wang Xizhi had a far-reaching influence on later generations.
His calligraphy not only has the charm and charm of the previous calligraphy style, but also does not stick to the ancient method, breaking through the rut of the early Tang Dynasty and forming his own style, which is called "Yan Ti". Song Ouyang Xiu commented: "Thinking about human nature is loyal, so his paintings and calligraphy are strong and independent, not attacking the past, which is quite amazing and somewhat human." In Song Dynasty, Zhu listed his calligraphy as a sacred product in "Continued Books". And commented: "Points are like falling rocks, paintings are like Xia Yun, hooks are like bows, and bends are like crossbows. It has an image in both vertical and horizontal directions, and its posture is very low. It has never been so public since it was dedicated. "
