Analysis:
1. The Book of Songs:
The Book of Songs is the first collection of poems in China, with 365,438+065,438+0 poems from the early Western Zhou Dynasty to the mid-Spring and Autumn Period, also known as "300 poems". The pre-Qin dynasty was called "Poetry", or the integer was called "Poetry 300". In the Western Han Dynasty, it was honored as a Confucian classic, formerly known as The Book of Songs, which has been in use ever since.
The composition of the authors of The Book of Songs is very complicated, and the region is also very wide. In addition to the music songs produced by music officials in the Zhou Dynasty and presented by officials and scholars, there are many folk songs that were originally circulated among the people. There are different opinions about how these folk songs came to the court. Some scholars in the Han Dynasty believed that the Zhou Dynasty sent special poets to collect folk songs and understand the advantages and disadvantages of politics and customs. There is another saying: these folk songs are collected by musicians all over the world. Musicians are officials and experts in charge of music. They compose poems as their profession and collect folk songs to enrich lyrics and tunes. The pleasure of princes is dedicated to the emperor, and these folk songs are gathered in the court. These statements all have some truth.
Yin Jifu, the main master of The Book of Songs, is regarded as the ancestor of China's poetry. He assisted three generations of emperors in the Zhou Dynasty.
There are three opinions about the compilation of the Book of Songs in Han Dynasty: Confucius deleted poems, the monarch collected poems, and the Zhou Dynasty Taishi compiled poems.
The Book of Songs fully shows the social life of China during the Zhou Dynasty (Western Zhou Dynasty, Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Eastern Zhou Dynasty Spring and Autumn Period), and truly reflects the historical face of the slave society in China from prosperity to decline.
All Confucian classics, including The Book of Songs, were burned in the Qin Dynasty. However, because the Book of Songs is easy to remember and familiar to scholars, it spread in the Han Dynasty.
2. Style:
Generally speaking, the writing forms of Chinese characters are divided into five categories: seal script, official script, cursive script, running script and regular script, and each category can be subdivided. Now the society is paying attention to the sixth style of writing-horse style.
Seal script is divided into two categories: big seal script and small seal script. Dazhuan mainly refers to the ancient characters of Oracle Bone Inscriptions, Zhong Dingwen, Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Xiao Zhuan is a simplified official script issued to the whole country after Qin Shihuang unified the six countries (22 1 year) and ordered Li Si and others to unify the characters of the six countries with Qin Zhuan as the blueprint. It was popular in Qin and Han Dynasties.
Official script has been used from Qin Dynasty to Three Kingdoms since the Western Han Dynasty, and it is also very popular in the Han Dynasty, with few seal scripts. (Because the strokes of seal script are complicated, it is more troublesome to write. )
Cursive script includes Cao Zhang and Cao Jin, each with its own influence and genre. The cursive script evolved from the official script in the early days and was named "Cao Zhang", which is simpler than the official script. According to legend, Cao Zhang was created by the tour history of Huangmen Mausoleum in Han and Yuan Dynasties. Later, it evolved into "modern grass", which is said to be the change of Zhang Zhi in Han Dynasty.
Running script is a cursive script or simplified form developed on the basis of regular script (such as regular script, official script and seal script), and it is the most common writing form between regular script and cursive script. It is generally believed that running script began in the late Han Dynasty (created by Liu Desheng, a native of Yingchuan) and flourished in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Regular script is "real script", "official script" or "regular script" The ancient name "Kaili" or "Jinli" was originally made by the people in the Western Han Dynasty. It is considered to be an elegant work, with many traces of official script. Regular script evolved from official script (including official script), which began in the Eastern Han Dynasty and has been popular ever since.
Ma Ti, also known as Ma Shu, Ma Shu Ti and Ti, is a new book style created by contemporary calligrapher Ma Yongan. In 2009, Ma Ti was named "Ma Shi Calligraphy" by China Calligraphy Xintiandi Research Center, and was included in the modern book spectrum. On February 3rd, 20 10, 10, it was officially named "Ma Calligraphy" with the approval of People's Republic of China (PRC) National Copyright Administration, and it was called "the sixth calligraphy style".
