Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, the ninth son of Emperor Taizong, is fond of calligraphy, such as ICBC, Cao Li, Lishu and Bai Fei. Among emperors, calligraphy is vigorous and heroic, round and handsome, not inferior to famous artists. Gaozong's calligraphy is exquisite, just like Taizong's. It can be said that family law is in the same strain, and people spoke highly of it at that time. For traces of books handed down from ancient times, see Chunhua Pavilion Post. The inscriptions handed down from ancient times mainly include Ten Thousand Years Palace Ming, Ode to the Prosperous Tang Dynasty and Li Jibei.
Wu Zetian was a gifted scholar of Li Shimin, the wife of Li Zhi, Tang Gaozong, and the only versatile female emperor in China history. She is proficient in calligraphy, especially in flying white and cursive script. Her calligraphy presents a typical charm of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, with a broad structure, a thick pen, a vigorous style and awe-inspiring spirit. From her words, it seems that we can get a glimpse of the inclusive and powerful self-confidence of the Tang Dynasty. Xuanhe Pu Shu said that her running script was "like a husband". She was ingenious, and according to her own understanding, she specially created one or twenty Chinese characters. For example, "Qi" is a word she specially coined for her name. Because of traditional orthodoxy, people have derogated from her, saying that she is ruthless and power politics. In fact, among the many male emperors in history, which one is not? Perhaps Wu Zetian knew China's traditional ideas very well, so she only set up a tablet without words for herself after her death. Let future generations comment on merits and demerits! The book traces include "The Monument to the Ascending Immortal Prince" and so on. The Monument to the Ascending Immortal Prince was written by Wu Zetian himself, and it was the first stone carving in cursive script.
