Research On Circulation And Communication Of The Cold Food Observance Festival’ Manuscript

As one of the leading figures of calligraphy in the Northern Song Dynasty,Su Shi has retained more than forty authentic calligraphic works,among which the most prestigious one is The Cold Food Observance Festival Manuscript.This paper explores the process of The Cold Food Observance Festival Manuscript becoming a calligraphy classic by investigating the collecting and spreading of The Cold Food Observance Festival Manuscript.During the Song and Yuan Dynasties,the people who could watch The Cold Food Observance Festival Manuscript were limited to collectors,and basically did not enhance the spread of The Cold Food Observance Festival Manuscript.Until the Ming Dynasty,the private collection gradually made The Cold Food Observance Festival Manuscript open to the world.Since then,not only a number of engraved posts containing this post have been published,but also related records have been kept in the world,which played an important role in the spread of The Cold Food Observance Festival Manuscript.The collection of the Qing Dynasty also promoted the dissemination of this calligraphy,especially the contribution made by the official collection of Emperor Qianlong.Through the dissemination of the Ming and Qing Dynasties,the status of the classic The Cold Food Observance Festival Manuscript has basically taken shape,and has become the main model for later generations of calligraphers to study Su Shi’s calligraphy.At the same time,it has supplemented and perfected the current lack of research on the collection and dissemination of The Cold Food Observance Festival Manuscript,which has made the research of The Cold Food Observance Festival Manuscript a breakthrough,and will also provide further help for future research.
