On The Impact Of The Early Qing Dynasty Post To Learn The Decline Of Several Factors

In general, the development of the Chinese calligraphy in the Qing Dynasty is divided into 3 stages. They are the early stage (Emperor Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzhen; 1644-1735), the intermediate stage (Emperor Qianlong, Jiaqing and Daoguang; 1736-1850), and the late stage (Emperor Xianfeng, Tongzhi, Guangxu, and Xuantong; 1851-1911). Tiexue (帖学) has more than a thousand years of history, and can be traced all the way back to the Jin (265-420) and Tong Dynasty when it had started. During the early stage, tiexue carried on some Ming Dynasty' s flavors and it was the mainstream of the Chinese calligraphic study. Later during the intermediate stage, there was such a vigorous calligraphic transmutation in terms of both style and aesthetic conception marked the blossoming of the Beixue Movement and the demotion of tiexue. Eventually, beixue became the reverence in Chinese calligraphy during the late stage. The impact Beixue brought to the fall of tiexue is often discussed. In this article, other aspects are being taken, mainly regarding tiexue itself, to further examine the reasons for the recede of tiexue. They are1) the change of aesthetic conception,2) idolatrous to neoteric artists,3) the influence of the overflow of Chinese historiography known as jinshixue (金石学)4) insufficient education in calligraphy, and5) the fallacy in teaching during the early stage.During the early stage, the existence of these factors represented, rather than coincidence, the actual social context, and people' s aesthetic concept which was laid deep in the cultural layer at the time. All were embraced by ingrained historical threads.
