| Huang Tingjian attaches great importance to learning the ancients.In his calligraphy commentary,the frequently-seen sections such as "ancient people" and "learning the ancients" fully exemplify his distinct attitude.On the specific issues of "how to treat ancients","how to learn ancients" and "how to make innovations",Huang Tingjian has unique views: in theory,he emphasizes that "learning calligraphy does not always have to copy but you must carefully ponder it";In terms of content,he thinks it should pay attention to "the rules of the ancients" and "the quality of the ancients" when studying calligraphy;In the direction of learning ancients,he thinks that the representative works of the Sui Tang,Wei Jin,Qin and Han dynasties before the Northern Song Dynasty can be learned,but there should be reasonable choices;In the end,people must be able to "finding themselves" and form their own personality creation.The collection of the above contents comprehensively constitutes Huang Tingjian's "View of Learning from Ancients"(VLA).The formation and development of Huang Tingjian's VLA is closely related to the background of his time and his study of learning,and it plays an important role in his calligraphy thoughts.On the one hand,Huang Tingjian's VLA is one of the reasons for his "Pursuit of Rhyme";On the other hand,Huang's unique calligraphy is also deeply influenced by his VLA.In addition,if the field of vision is further extended to the entire Song Dynasty,it can be found that although the representative scholars such as Su Shi and Mi Fu also learning the ancients,they were similar in concept to Huang Tingjian.For example,Cai Xiang's "learning the ancients hasn't changed",Su Shi's "inventing new ideas",Mi Fu "collecting the ancients' features to become himself" and so on.Finally,combining the current status of the calligraphy world,it is not difficult to find that Huang Tingjian's VLA also have practical significance for contemporary scholars to learn ancients and personal creation. |
