A Study On The Thought Of "Old Books For People" By Sun Guoting

In the Tang Dynasty,Sun Guoting's "Book Spectrum" is one of the most important works in the history of ancient Chinese calligraphy theory.It still shines with wisdom.Sun Guoting's literary claim about "old books" has become a classic proposition of Chinese calligraphy theory.Starting from the meaning of "old" and the aesthetic image,this paper reveals the rich aesthetic connotation of "old books" contained in "book spectrum" of sun guoting.Among them,"old people" not only refers to the age,but also refers to the superb cultivation of the book."Old book" refers to the realm of calligraphy that has reached a perfect state.In the path of calligraphy,whether it is the "old”of people or the "old" of books,it is impossible to climb the sky at once,but it takes a long process to accumulate,from quantity to quality.Generally,there is an "old" person who will produce the "old" of the book.In the course of the evolution of history,the understanding of "old" is different,and the state of "old" expressed is also constantly changing.However,contemporary calligraphy runs counter to each other,and people's books are split,making calligraphy slip into the mud of fonnalization and technology.It reveals from the side that today's book writers can not be self-conscious under the temptation of various external interests.Since ancient times,"people are old" is an advocacy of two-way interaction between "character"and "book products",It is a link between "book old" and "calligraphy" and reveals its law of continuous development of calligraphy.
