Sun calligraphy
As for which dynasty Sun was born, it is not difficult to find that Sun was born in the Tang Dynasty. In addition, the Tang Dynasty was the most popular period of ancient calligraphy in China, so it is normal for a diligent person like Sun to stand out among many calligraphers in the Tang Dynasty. However, Sun's life can be said to be very difficult, because when Sun was born, his family was poor. But he likes studying very much, especially writing, so he studies calligraphy seriously and assiduously. He has studied calligraphy for more than 20 years, which is beyond the ability of ordinary people. He also taught himself, which was rare at that time.
After more than 20 years of hard work, Sun finally gained a great reputation. As a result, Sun became a petty official in his forties. Finally, Sun was arrogant, did not adapt to the darkness of officialdom, and lost his official position. After Sun resigned and returned to China, he devoted himself to calligraphy. However, he was very weak at that time because of his poor health. So, he died suddenly before he finished writing the manuscript.
Many people are still haunted by Sun's sudden death, but as a calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, Sun's contribution to calligraphy is indelible.
