The Inheritance And Development Of Chu Suiliang’s Preface To Yanta Sacred Religion In The Qing Dynasty

Chu Suiliang,as one of the four great masters in the early Tang Dynasty,broke the shackles of style on the basis of learning from Ouyang Xun and Yu Shina’s style of writing,and in his later years,he had a new look.He was the main educator of the Tang Dynasty.Its unique style of writing is highly praised by calligraphers,with its unique charm and abundance of thin and hard elements.Most of the calligraphers in the early Qing Dynasty followed the previous views and still preferred the Jin and Tang dynasties.For example,Yun Shouping,Wang Shu,Wang Shixuan,Yang Bin,Chen Yixi and other calligraphers all learned from Chu Suiliang.In the calligraphy theory in the middle and late Qing Dynasty,Ruan Yuan was the representative calligrapher,and the idea of dividing calligraphy into the Southern and Northern sects stripped Chu Suiliang’s original relationship of learning from Wang Xizhi and Yu Shinan,and paid more attention to the problem of Chu Suiliang learning from the Sui stele and even the Wei stele.This article takes a perspective on the Qing Dynasty,with Wang Shu and Zhao Shijun as examples for discussion.Starting from the teacher-student relationship between Wang Shu and Zhao Shijun,it comprehensively grasps the overall view,and explores and understands the Chu calligraphy ideas and aesthetic views in Wang Shu and Zhao Shijun’s works from a detailed perspective.Elaborate on Wang Shu and Zhao Shijun’s selection and rejection of the style of the "Preface to the Yanta Sacred Religion" in their regular script works,and finally sort out their insights and apply them to calligraphy creation practice.
