A Study Of Yan Zhenqing's Calligraphy From The Perspective Of Taoism

The Tang dynasty was the heyday of the ancient Chinese society,the economic,political,cultural and military affairs of the period It has been developed unprecedentedly.In the Tang dynasty,the ruler of li's dynasty was to consolidate his rule and honor Lao Zi as the "Emperor Xuanyuan".In the aspect of religious development,Taoism first became the mainstream religion.Yan Zhenqing,as a famous minister in the Tang dynasty,also has a special status in itself,namely,religious Taoism,and Taoism philosophy influence the aesthetic creation of Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy.Reviewing relevant historical documents,the overall research results from Taoism's ideological point of view are relatively rare.With through the "Dao" to its influence,displays the upper literati in Tang dynasty art cultural thoughts,feelings and handed down from ancient times caused by the excellent work,virtue sentiment,admired by later generations,artists.Therefore,the paper is centered on the research of Yan Zhenqing's book,calligraphy and daoist philosophy.Yan Zhenqing is a representative figure in the Tang dynasty calligraphy,the continuity of the position in the history of Chinese calligraphy,its "Yan" calligraphy is a peak of the Chinese calligraphy art,which has a far-reaching influence on later generations.The topic of this thesis is based on the interrelationship between the calligraphy art of Yan Zhenqing and the Taoist thought.Under the background of thriving in Taoism,Taoist philosophy of Zhuangzi conform to the trend of The Times has become the mainstream in the development of social ideological trend of religious thought,the creation process of calligraphy has been associated with Taoism,Taoist,manifests the psychological instinct of Taoist thought,his calligraphy thoughts and calligraphy works,which is full of the feelings of "Dao"."The research on the calligraphy of Yan Zhenqing under the perspective of Taoist thought"is mainly carried out in the following four aspects:first,the rise of Taoism in the early Tang dynasty:Taoism's background in the early Tang dynasty;The ruler of the Tang dynasty inherited and developed Taoism.The status of Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy art in the Tang dynasty:Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy style;Tang dynasty calligrapher in Taoism.Third,Yan Zhenqing calligraphy creation and Taoism culture:daoqing's Taoism complex;Yan Zhenqing's contribution to the practice of Taoist calligraphy.Fourth,Taoist content in Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy works:calligraphy of Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy on Taoism;Yan Zhenqing's book on the influence of later generations.Through the discussion of four chapters,around the tang dynasty Taoist and the relationship of the calligraphy art,interpret the development background of early stage Taoism,the influence of the literary intelligentsia of the such as the calligraphy art characteristic,combed the written about Taoism calligraphy inscriptions,inscriptions,content and aesthetic style.Due to personal ability is limited,do my best degree will work up the article context is clear,and collect relevant historical data,images,for from a new Angle to explain of Taoism,and art of calligraphy art.In the paper,how to view the relationship between Yan zhenqing and Taoism is to judge whether Taoism has decisive influence on his position of Confucianism.This is also an issue that we often encounter when we evaluate the scholar-officials of the tang dynasty.Such as the great poet Du fu's life and also close to Buddhism and Taoism Buddha taught two have influence on his thinking,creative,but not dominant position,du fu himself still in Confucian thought,later comments also promoting his insistence on the position of Confucianism,an ancient statue of it as a focal point of "patriotism" was on it.So did Yan zhenqing,a Confucian warrior in political life.He devoted himself to Taoism rather than to religious belief,adhering to the Confucian ideological position in the festival,and finally fulfilling Confucian morality with life.Many calligraphy inscriptions are associated with Taoism,record yourself with all aspects of Taoism,this is the daoist precious history data and the calligraphy art treasures,it is he and the important embodiment of Taoism to pay.Although Yan zhenqing was deeply influenced by Taoism,in general,he mainly studied Taoism's strict adherence to the true nature and the truth and beauty,and to fame and wealth as a cloud.He was able to combine the Taoist thought with the Confucian concept of loyalty and filial piety,which was both strong,upright and loyal,and had the seclusion of detachment and fame.But on the whole,he is also a Confucian ideal of his own,which is the fundamental reason why he has never escaped into the mountains.Song Huang tingjian,the author of the book,said:"after the right army and the father,the author of the law has been the only one of the two people,and Yang shaoshi,who have been a theorist for more than 10 years.Huang tingjian put yan zhenqing and the "two Kings" in a stiff manner,which was indeed sensational,and he himself said that "if you have been in the position for more than ten years,if you know it later".However,he summarized Yan zhenqing's book wind as "the extraordinary dust",the only eye.Calligraphy in the evaluation of two height:one of the shape character and shuppim perfect combination of "loyal subjects martyr",the other from the thought of gets found out "Shangyi" factor,is the concept of Buddhism and Taoism perspectives of "free and natural white".Also it can be said that the impact on is through of Buddhism and Taoism from the northern song dynasty "Shangyi" calligrapher of calligraphy accepted and advocated to realize and actually opens the portal "Shangyi" book wind.Since the Qing dynasty,the first class calligraphers have had the experience of studying the Yan body,especially after the great vogue of the northern tablet,the calligraphers and calligraphers,as well as the scholars,have changed and innovated.Since the period of the republic of China under the new era,the world to learn calligraphy,usually on the basis of Yan's,this is Yan still have rules of normative inevitably influence,is also a strong Yan saturated,imposing manner of big board style charm.In any case,since the republic of China,the popularity of Yan body has been much greater than that of wang calligraphy,whose trend has not changed so far,and the yan body is also showing boundless vitality.At present,when discussing Yan zhenqing,people always insist on his orthodox Confucianism,respecting the concept of the monarch,and ignoring the influence of Buddha's thoughts on his art.The relationship between art and philosophy,especially cursive handwriting,has been out of the doctrine of the mean Confucian implicative,standard unified category into the buddhist and Taoist at heart source,free and clear of pure art realm.Ink and personal thought,since one thousand for the posterity of mental state,calligraphy theory and creation practice continuously provide nutrition,in our generation's efforts to study,it will continue to new life energy.
