| During the Eastern Wei period in China,Buddhism was widely spread,and the trend of statue-making was prevalent,giving rise to numerous records of statue-making with high calligraphic value.As the Eastern Wei dynasty moved its capital to Ye City,the conflict between the Han and Hu ethnic groups intensified,and the Hu-style thinking spread,manifested in cultural "reverence for antiquity".The status of clerical script gradually rose,and the number of Wei-style inscriptions with clerical script increased.In addition,regular script developed towards a more balanced style,which was suitable for combining with clerical script,resulting in the prevalent phenomenon of the Eastern Wei mixed-style of regular and clerical script.This paper,titled "Study of Calligraphy Styles in Eastern Wei Statue-Making Records",aims to explore the classification,causes,and engraving of calligraphy styles in Eastern Wei statue-making records.Furthermore,it seeks to discuss the aesthetic value and influence of Eastern Wei calligraphy.Despite being undervalued,Eastern Wei culture was not lacking in independence,and its calligraphy presented a diverse appearance in just a short period of over ten years.Therefore,the status of Eastern Wei Statue-Making Records deserves further exploration to fill the gaps in our understanding. |
