Yang Jingye, a calligrapher of Qing Dynasty, was sent to Japan.

In the development history of nearly 300 years, China's calligraphy in Qing Dynasty experienced a difficult transformation. It broke through the cage of calligraphy since the Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties, and initiated the study of steles, especially the seal script, official script and the northern Wei Dynasty stele calligraphy, which can be compared with the regular script in the Tang Dynasty, the running script in the Song Dynasty and the cursive script in the Ming Dynasty, forming a vigorous and profound calligraphy style. In particular, the calligraphers of stele studies, taking the essence from the past and showing their individuality, have made the calligraphy world very active, with various schools showing a thriving situation.

Yang Shoujing (1839 ~ 19 15) was born in Yidu, Hubei. At the request of Li Shuchang, the ambassador to Japan, he went to Japan to assist in compiling Gu Yi Series and collected a large number of ancient documents preserved in Japan. At the same time, he also spread calligraphy widely in Japan, which had an important impact on the development of modern Japanese calligraphy. In theory, he advocated that "the combination of inscriptions is beautiful, but the division is harmful", and he was an early advocate of this theory. In practice, there are also imitations, such as strict calligraphy and Su Shi, and later joined the interest of North Monument; Seal script has arrived in the Western Zhou Dynasty; Lishu pays attention to the feeling of using a pen and the interest in ink. It is old and slow, and its structure is the stretching and frowning of Miaoshan, and sometimes it is humorous.
