They begin to re-examine the value of Song calligraphy. In the middle Ming dynasty, Calligraphy blooms, which mainly learns from "The Chun Hua Ge Tie", therefore, elegant and exquisite works are the most.Wen Zhengming copied almost all the ancient calligraphy, whose running scripts style falls into the pattern of the letter script of" Two Kings" in his middle age.With the development of calligraphy and the change of hall and architecture, Wen Zhengming felt "Two Kings" can not satisfy the need for large size, so the new display mode put forward new requirements for running script. The tradition is made large to fit the law of the large size,which is the core for Wen choosing Huang Tingjian’s big characters running calligraphy.Compared with the traditional running script, Wen’s is more loose and stronger, which shows the influence of Huang Tingjian and Yan Zhenqing on Wen Zhengming. In his old age, Wen still perseveres in study and exploration. Wen has his own features of Running Script by combining Huang Tingjian’s large up and down style and his own Running Script.Wen Zhengming learns from Huang Tiangjian and Yan Zhenqing without complete copy. Wen Zhengming integrates imposing, dignified,full and unrestrained style into his own handwriting running script to form his own unique features. Wen Zhengming boldly explores the new field and leads the new book fashion in his old age,which indicates his unique insight and boundless vitality and creativity.This also inspires us to explore and innovate continuously to walk more far in the way of calligraphy.Wen Zhengming leaves a lot of works and his pioneering spirit will inspire us to climb the peak in the way of calligraphy. |
