Oracle bone calligraphy, the earliest beauty of calligraphy in China
Painting is the source of calligraphy
From the perspective of painting: before writing was created, there were rock paintings It exists both at home and abroad, which shows that words come later than pictures. Lines are actually very subjective things. Everything in nature appears in the form of points, lines, and surfaces. The human use of line itself is a generalization and abstract expression of natural objects. Therefore, the proficient use of lines can be regarded as a sign of the high development of human intelligence in the early period. In the real world, lines mainly exist in human perception. The closest thing to lines in nature are the cracks of objects, especially some regular cracks. In the cracks in the divination of oracle bones, people in the Shang Dynasty believed that the order and laws of the changes in the world and all things, and even the will of God behind these orders and laws, were abstract and accurate. That is the oracle bone inscriptions. Under the call of the gods, the man-made lines of the wizards and the divination lines that showed the will of the gods were burned together to form the abstract pictures that were produced after the divine objects were handed over. The certificate is also the physical evidence that the merchant's painting activities occurred due to traces and signs.
Huaxia Script Tongwen
From the perspective of calligraphy: Chinese characters have always interacted with the evolution of calligraphy and complemented each other in its long process of evolution. Practical divination not only promoted the evolution of calligraphy, but also the changes in calligraphy directly led to the sublimation of glyph structure. After Shang King Pan Geng moved the capital to Yin, the oracle bones used for divination by successive Shang kings have been circulated. Judging from the number and structure of fonts, oracle bone inscriptions have developed into a more rigorous system of writing. The "six books" principle of Chinese characters is reflected in the oracle bone inscriptions. From a textual point of view, the earliest period of oracle bone inscriptions, the Wuding period, has the highest artistic achievement. The style is grand and majestic, thin and sharp; the pen is rounded at the beginning and closed at the tip, with straight and straight strokes, and is full of variety. No matter whether it is fat or thin, the pen is powerful. The deeds are filled with ink or red respectively, making the whole more charming, which can be called a miracle in the history of calligraphy. The subsequent periods of oracles were either in decline or revival, and their level did not reach the level of Wu Ding's era. Although the oracle bone inscriptions vary in size and are intricately varied in structure, they already have the three elements of Chinese calligraphy: brush use, word knotting, and composition, as well as a symmetrical and stable pattern. Therefore, the Yin people's deed writing activities, writing and writing, are the root of Chinese calligraphy.
The seal comes from a book
From the perspective of seal cutting: the ancients used divine objects from nature as creative materials, and the carving activity on tortoise shells and animal bones had the mission of communicating with heaven and earth. , with the physical structure and temperament presented by the image of life. We know that because the turtle bones are uneven and hard and slippery, it was more difficult to engrave on stone than it is today. In terms of deeds, the knives are thinner and square knives are mostly used. Because the knives are made of different materials, some are sharp and some are blunt, and the bones they carve are thin or thick, hard or soft, the strokes they carve are often of different thicknesses. Some of the deeds are as small as a grain of rice and as slender as a hair, showing the exquisite knife skills of the Yin people. Their structures vary in length and size, some are sparse and intricate; some are densely packed and very solemn, demonstrating their simple and colorful aesthetic appeal. The application of the "flash single sword" and the double sword as well as the existence of Zhuwen Baiwen fully prove that the Zhen people of the Shang Dynasty already possessed superb seal cutting skills and sword skills. The oracle bone scholar Yu Shengwu once published the "Three Seals of Anyang" called "Qiwen Seal" in the "Illustrated Catalog of Ancient Artifacts of Shuangjiantu" and Huang Jun's "Yezhong Pianyu", which came from the Yin Ruins in Anyang in the 1930s. . 椐TUI; for "Yin people's deeds".
Fully proving the activity of oracle bone seal carving should change today's one-sided academic view of "Yin Zong, Qin and Han Dynasties" and fundamentally establish the three-legged seal cutting pattern of "Shang Qin and Han Dynasties".
It can be seen that in the decades before 1899, Xiaotun villagers saw bone armor in the nearby farmland. Ming Yishi, pastor of the Canadian Presbyterian Church in Anyang, said in his book "A Study of Oracle Bones": At first, some people collected oracle bones, but they did not know their provenance. Before 1899, people in Xiaotun used oracle bones as medicinal materials, called dragon bones. The first oracle bones discovered all passed through the hands of the Fan family in Weixian County. Fan knows the best. At first, Mrs. Fan refused to tell anyone about their situation, such as telling Liu Tieyun that Tang Yinwuli was in trouble. Not only did I find the right place, I repeatedly asked Fan and the people in Xiaotun, and learned that 25 years before Guangxu in the former Qing Dynasty, there was a hairdresser named Li Cheng in Xiaotun, who often used dragon bone powder as a knife tip medicine. The residents of Xiaotun are not surprised that dragon bones have appeared here for a long time. Bone fragments, armor plates, antlers and other objects, with or without characters, are used as the main bones. At that time, people in Xiaotun believed that the characters were not carved on them but grew naturally. He also said that it was difficult to sell the ones with the characters on them, and only the pharmacies wanted them with the characters scratched off. Li Cheng collected the dragon bones and sold them to pharmacies, making six coins per catty.
The villagers of Xiaotun discovered oracle bone inscriptions before 1899. Of course, this discovery was a general discovery, not a discovery in scientific consciousness. Antique dealers gather in Xiaotun to buy oracle bones and then resell them in Beijing and other places. In 1899, Wang Yirong personally identified the actual oracle bones and conducted purposeful searches and research. Since then, the Yin Ruins oracle bone inscriptions have become known and valued by the world.
