Who can talk about the development of cursive script in Tang Dynasty?

In the Tang Dynasty, cursive script, represented by Zhang Xu and Huai Su, became an artistic creation completely divorced from practicality. Cursive script, also known as big grass, is bold and unrestrained, with continuous momentum, such as Zhang Xu's Broken Monument with Thousand Words, Four Ancient Poems in the Tang Dynasty and Huai Su's Autobiographical Notes. Zhang Xu is known as the "sage of grass" in history, but Sun's is different and has no connection.

"Big grass" and "small grass" are symmetrical. Big grass is pure grass-based and difficult to identify. Zhang Xu and Huai Su are good at it, and their words are written in one stroke, sometimes out of line, but the context is constant. In Qing Dynasty, Feng Ban gave a lecture on cursive script in "Blunt Printing Book": learn from it, learn from it, learn from it, and learn from Zhang Xu as weeds, so it is better to learn from Huai Su. Huai Su's cursive script is easy to recognize, the handwriting is fine, and the relationship between words is clear and easy to put pen to paper.

Zhang Xu's glyphs vary widely, often a number, and the momentum between them is constant, which is difficult to identify and forms a unique style. As mentioned in Han Yu's Preface to Giving People a Noble Mind, Zhang Xu's cursive script is "angry and embarrassed, sad and sorrowful, resentful and resentful, yearning, drunk and annoyed, unfair and moving in the heart, which is bound to be reflected in the cursive script", so it is difficult to learn from Zhang.

Early Tang dynasty

In the early Tang Dynasty, the society was stable, the economy was prosperous, and calligraphy flourished. The imperial court recognized calligraphy as one of the six schools in imperial academy, and set up a doctor of calligraphy to study calligraphy. Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, loved calligraphy and admired Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, which played an important role in the development and prosperity of calligraphy in Tang Dynasty.

Ou Yangxun, Yu Shinan, Chu Suiliang and Xue Ji, four schools in the early Tang Dynasty, represented the poetic style in the early Tang Dynasty. At this time, the cursive script still adheres to the golden method, and the right army is the Sect. There is nothing new. The calligraphers in this period were Zhong Shaojing, Lu Jianzhi, Wang Zhijing and Emperor Taizong.

Yukime (649-7 13)

Word Stone, a native of Fenyang, Zhou Pu (now Fenyang, Shaanxi), is known as "Xue Shaobao" from the official to the prince. That's Wei's nephew. From Wei, I learned hidden dangers and Chu calligraphy, and I learned diligence, so I wrote the world with good books. Most of his books are Chu's. The Tang people said that "you can buy Chu and gain knowledge without losing its festival", but "the pen is exquisite and unique". His younger brother Xue Yao studied with him, but he was thinner, which was the source of Hui Zong's "thin golden body".

His masterpiece is "The Monument to the Believing Zen Master", which was carved in the era of Empress Wu (684-704). This stone has been lost for a long time. It was only in the Qing Dynasty that he still kept the orphan of the Song Dynasty, and now it has flowed into Japan. There are many calligraphers and various schools in the Tang Dynasty, which is of course related to economic prosperity and active culture and art. Most emperors in the Tang Dynasty wrote books, especially Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong. He played an important role in promoting the development of calligraphy in the Tang Dynasty.

Emperor Taizong (65438+5991October 23rd-10, July 649)

Li Yuan's second son attached great importance to culture and strongly advocated calligraphy. For example, in the first year of Zhenguan, twenty-four children with five grades or above loved books, and the official library (Hong Wen Museum) studied books and taught them calligraphy in the forbidden school. Emperor Taizong himself was also an outstanding calligrapher. He studied calligraphy with the right army, which is more handsome and heroic than the right army. He pioneered the use of running script to enter the monument, which is the highest in ancient and modern imperial books.

"The Book of the Tang Dynasty" said: "On April 22nd, 14th year of Zhenguan, Taizong was confident of its truth, and showed his ministers' strength with cursive script screen, so he did nothing for a while ...18th February17th, Emperor Taizong invited more than three products to hold a banquet to announce the Wu Gate, and he wrote a flying white book, which the ministers took over from Emperor Taizong through wine. His existing works include Wenquan Ming, Jinci Ming and Screen Post.
