Cai Xiang calligraphy font

Song Dynasty is a highly developed dynasty in China. There were many famous poets in Song Ci, painting and calligraphy. In calligraphy, there are even famous "Song Sijia" Su Dongpo, Huang Tingjian, Mi Fei and Cai Xiang. Their calligraphy has its own characteristics, and they are all famous ancient calligraphers.

In addition to these four people, in fact, we know that there was an emperor at that time, and his calligraphy was highly respected by future generations. He even named a font after his own calligraphy. As the emperor's calligraphy, everyone is Song Huizong, and his handwriting is thin gold.

This calligraphy font, Thin Gold Style, was originally created by Song Huizong, and it is a must in both font style and writing style. This font, based on iconicity, should have been "thin gold", but out of respect for royal calligraphy, it was finally changed to gold font.

Song Huizong's calligraphy embodies the unique aesthetic taste of that era, that is, it makes good use of rhyme and interest, and has a strong personality color, which is a breakthrough in previous calligraphy achievements.

So since Song Huizong and his thin gold body are so powerful, why can't they join the ranks of the four great calligraphers in the Song Dynasty?

This is about to say that there is a hidden front in China's traditional calligraphy culture. Compared with other calligraphy, Song Huizong's calligraphy is more sharp-edged, which runs counter to our traditional culture in China, that is, kindness is like water and moderation, so this kind of calligraphy is doomed to be unacceptable to more people.

This is why Song Huizong's calligraphy is unique, but he can't enter the ranks of the four great calligraphers in the Song Dynasty. However, it is not important for an emperor to achieve such high achievements.
