A Study Of The Revival Of Official Script In The Early Qing Dynasty

The revival of official script in the early Qing Dynasty was a major event in the cultural and artistic circles of the early Qing Dynasty,reflecting the trend of thinking of retro and seeking newness at that time.In a broad sense,official script was originally born in a large number of text copying activities.It is a new type of calligraphy that was gradually produced by the calligraphers of the seal character era,in order to facilitate their writing.Official script gradually developed to maturity in the two Han Dynasties.After the Han Dynasty,it was gradually replaced by other script styles and tended to decline.In the Tang Dynasty,there was a peak in the creation of official script,and then it was gradually neglected by the world until the late Ming Dynasty.Although there are still many calligraphers who create official script,the knotting,brushwork,composition and even the ink method of official script are far away from ancient times,and their appearance is greatly corrupted.The official script created by Tang to Ming Dynasty often abandons the original appearance of the Han official script,and combines the regular script calligraphy of Tang brush work to make subjective creations of the official script brushwork,and likes the different styles and characters of the script,so that the official script works are bizarre and similar from generation to generation.However,most calligraphers seem to have no sense of seeking truth,so that this writing style has been spread for hundreds of years,until the Ming and Qing Dynasties.In the early Qing Dynasty,due to various realistic conditions,there was an artistic upsurge of temporary study,visit and discussion on the art of official script style after the Middle Ages on the land of China.The rise of official script in the early Qing Dynasty was objectively strongly influenced by the academic background,political background and social background of the times,such as the idea of "True Knowledge" advocated by Gu Yanwu,the leader of the academic circle,the high-pressure cultural control after the Manchu and Qing Dynasty entered the customs,and the study of Han by scholars’group.Factors such as the stele seeking spiritual support have contributed to the rise of the study of Han stele calligraphy.On the basis of inheriting the existing achievements of the previous dynasties,calligraphers started the parallel development of visiting and rubbing rubbings,collecting rubbings,copying and studying,and writing books.The rise of the trend of learning official script in the early Qing Dynasty was the same as that of many other cultural and historical phenomena.First,there were several calligraphers in the late Ming Dynasty,followed by Fu Shan,Zheng Fu,Zhu Yizun,and several other scholars who supported the situation.Wang Shimin,Wang Duo,Wang Shu,Zhang Zaixin,Wan Jing,Zhou Lianggong,Yuan Ji,Cheng Sui,Gu Ling,Lin Ji,Dai Yi and other famous official script writers are leading the way.These figures are either cultural legends who visited the steles,or famous artists who learned copybook and created,or loyal scholars who have devoted themselves to writing collections.At the same time,a considerable-scale group of calligraphers has gradually formed.Officials in the court,or wandering around the world,or sticking to family studies,in a word,each is unified,each shows its ability,and is active in the three dynasties of ShunZhi,KangXi and YongZheng one after another.They learn from each other,inherit from each other,learn from each other,and keep making progress.In a relatively lively atmosphere,many calligraphers started writing and writing books,and several iconic masterpieces of calligraphy,such as Discrimination of Official Script,The Occasionally Preserved Official Script Theory and Parts and Pieces of Official Script were produced.Published successively.In a word,in the decades of turbulent years,the official script-learing group revisited a large number of official script of Han inscriptions that survived in the world,created a large number of excellent official script works,compiled a number of objective theoretical works of official script,cultivated Several generations of outstanding clerical calligraphers have gradually opened up a field of theoretical research and practical creation of official script.The development of official script science has made the art of official script calligraphy relatively comprehensive in the early Qing Dynasty.The current treasure house of official scripture theory has added wealth and provided a paradigm for current calligraphers in their study and creation.On the basis of researching and sorting out relevant historical materials,calligraphy documents and previous research results,the author further analyzes and summarizes the phenomenon of official script resurgence in the early Qing Dynasty and its causes,creative practice and related theoretical research.Based on the principle of knowing what is detailed and what is being detailed by others,this paper discusses relevant issues that have not been addressed or clarified in previous works.Try to be rigorous and meticulous,and hope to be able to contribute slightly to the future research on official script.
