Why calligraphy in Ming Dynasty emphasized individualized creation was related to the development of commodity economy at that time.

In the middle of Ming Dynasty, the commodity economy was more active than the previous generation, and what historians call "the seeds of capitalism" appeared in China. With the development of urban economy in the south of the Yangtze River, Suzhou has become the national economic center. Scholars and poets gathered here and created many paintings and calligraphy works about people's living conditions. In the late Ming Dynasty, with the economic decline and social unrest, the image of books was influenced to some extent by personalized thoughts. But personally, I think that the emphasis on personalized creation in calligraphy in Ming Dynasty was mainly influenced by the political situation at that time.
