Characteristics of Painting and Calligraphy in Song Dynasty

That is, Neo-Confucianism in Song Dynasty was initiated by Ouyang Xiu, Fan Zhongyan, Hu Yuan and Zhu Fu. , basically reflects the Confucian idea of ruling the world. This is my personal opinion. Because they abandoned the obvious disadvantages of advocating empty talk in the past and paid attention to the combination of righteousness and real life, I think academic evaluation should be improved. Under the influence of this thought, generally speaking, the characteristics of calligraphy and painting of literati in Song Dynasty pay more attention to personal feelings, such as Su Dongpo's Cold Food Post, which was rated as "the third running book in the world". In fact, the font structure is far from Lanting and Sacrifice for a Nephew, and many people commented that the emotion and content embodied in it are relatively unified; Another example is Mi Fei's calligraphy and painting, which is more successful than Dongpo's, and is also reflected in the cursive script that is more unrestrained than regular script; The same is true of the painting styles of Ma Yuan and others.
