China Ancient Calligraphy Masters and Their Works

A brief introduction to the famous calligraphers in China and their works 1. Wang Xizhi (303-36 1), Han nationality, was originally from Linyi (now Shandong) and later moved to Shaoxing, Zhejiang. He is a general of the right army, and he is a civil servant in the east. Representative works include: Le Yi Lun in regular script, Huang Ting Jing, Seventeen Guas in cursive script, Gua for Aunt in Running Script, Gua for Quick Snow Clear, Gua for Mourning, Preface to Lanting in Running Script, etc. Seriously study the physical situation, imitate the heart and pursue the hand, learn from others' strengths, and smelt in one furnace to create a running script of "nature is natural, and God is abundant for generations". Wang Xizhi handed down the ink from ancient times, which can give you a deep understanding of the word "Miao". A book saint is a book saint, and his works are beautiful, and there is no suspicion of being the same as boring: Pu Su is like an aunt, handsome as an orange, painful and happy (referring to the sense of pleasure when writing), while Huang Ting, who is secluded in ancient times, of course has a post of "frequent sorrow", which has realized the artistic transformation of calligraphy. How can you say "Dragon Dragons descend from heaven, tigers lie in phoenix" 2. Yan Zhenqing (709-785), a minister and calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, was born in Xiaolangdi (now Feixian County, Linyi City, Shandong Province). His great-grandfather, grandfather and father all made official seals, and his mother Yin was also good at calligraphy. Chu Suiliang was a beginner, and later learned Zhang Xu's brushwork. He also absorbed the characteristics of the four schools in the early Tang Dynasty and accepted the brushwork of Zhuanli and the Northern Wei Dynasty. He completed the vigorous and broad creation of colorful regular script, which set a model for regular script in Tang Dynasty. Before he changed the ancient law and started the atmosphere, he pushed the long-simmering calligraphy innovation movement to a new stage. He broke through the elegant and beautiful book style that has ruled the book world since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and created a vigorous, graceful and magnificent new book style with the prosperous Tang Dynasty style. Chu Suiliang, a beginner in calligraphy, has the calligraphy characteristics of two kings and four masters in the early Tang Dynasty. Later, he learned Zhang Xu's brushwork, widely absorbed the style of folk calligraphers, integrated the strengths of all people into one furnace, and gradually formed a new look of "Yan Ti" in bones and muscles. In brushwork, the wrist strength is greatly enhanced, the strokes are vigorous and fat, the vertical strokes are opposite, the structure is solemn and straight, the strokes are round and deep, and the layout is full and dense. On the whole, it is full of quaint heroism and vigorous tolerance, giving people a heavy sense of relief. His printed words are solemn and dignified,
