Wei and Jin Dynasties of Calligraphy Art

Three Kingdoms Period:

Official script began to decline from the peak position of the Han Dynasty and evolved into regular script, which became another subject of calligraphy art. Regular script, also known as official script and real script, was created by Zhong You. It was during the Three Kingdoms period that regular script entered the history of stone carving. During the Three Kingdoms (Wei Dynasty) period, the "List of Recommended Seasons" and "List of Declarations" became the treasures of generations.

Jin Dynasty:

In Jin Dynasty, people advocated "elegance" and "category" in their daily life, and pursued the beauty of moderation and modesty in art, so many calligraphers came forth in large numbers.

the artistic tastes of the two kings (Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi) were elegant and relaxed, which catered to the requirements of the literati. People increasingly realize that writing words has an aesthetic value. Among them, the calligrapher who best represents the spirit of Wei and Jin Dynasties and is the most influential in the history of calligraphy is Wang Xizhi, who is called "the sage of calligraphy". Wang Xizhi's running script Preface to Lanting is known as "the best running script in the world". Commentators say that his brushwork is like floating clouds, deft as a dragon, and his son Wang Xianzhi's "Ode to the Goddess of Luo" is full of strength, creating "breaking the body" and "a brush stroke" as a great contribution to the history of calligraphy. Backed by Lu Ji, Wei Jin, Suo Jing, Wang Dao, Xie An, Jian Liang and other calligraphy families, the calligraphy of the Southern School is quite prosperous.

Yang Xin, Wang Sengqian of Qi, Xiao Ziyun of Liang and Chen Zhiyong of the Southern Song Dynasty all followed in his footsteps.

When calligraphy flourished in the Jin Dynasty, it was mainly manifested in running script, which was a font between cursive script and regular script. There are representative works of "Three Wishes", namely "Bo Yuan Tie", "Sunny Tie in Fast Snow" and "Mid-Autumn Tie".

Southern and Northern Dynasties:

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, China's calligraphy art entered the era of "Bei Bei Nan Tie". At this time, the Northern and Southern Dynasties were divided into two factions, such as the North Monument and the South Post, the North Kai and the South Travel, the North People and the South Land, and the North Xiongnan Xiu, all of which were differences.

the northern dynasties praised the ancestors, revealed their possessions, and carved many stones. Among the inscriptions in the Northern Dynasties, the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Eastern Wei Dynasty are the best, and their styles are also colorful. His representative works include Zhang Menglong Monument and Jing Shi Jun Monument. The representative works of the inscription are: A Thousand Words of True Grass.

The most famous representative works of the North and the South are "A Heming" in Nanliang and "Zheng Wengong Monument" in Northern Wei Dynasty. These two stars can be described as a North-South binary star.

most of the writers in the northern school are Shu Ren, whose books are anonymous, so calligraphy is the crown, and is known as "the saint in the book", and the northern school is Wang Youjun.
