Hundred Body Calligraphy: Analysis of the Development History and Current Situation of Oracle Bone Calligraphy

Guo Qian

Oracle bone is a font engraved on the bones of tortoise shells and beasts in the Yin Shang period, which has a history of more than 3,000 to 4,000 years. This kind of text stroke is relatively simple, stretching up and down, the line is straight and strong, and the square is easy to round, which is the calligraphy style characteristic of the single knife carved oracle bone.

Since the oracle bone was discovered by epigrapher Wang Yirong in 1899, it has a history of more than 100 years, how many oracle bones have been unearthed? Professor Hu Houxuan, a famous oracle bone scientist, believes in the article "Recount of Oracle Bone Materials in the Past Eighty-Five Years" ("History Monthly", No. 5, 1984) that since the discovery of the oracle bone in 1899, the total number of excavated pieces has totaled about 150,000 pieces. The amount of words is about 5,000. From the perspective of the number of fonts and the way they are structured, Oracle is already a relatively strict writing system. According to the 2017 announcement of the Chinese Character Museum's collection of cracked oracle bone scripts from the whole country, it can be known that so far experts have cracked more than 1500 words, and there are more than 3500 words waiting to be deciphered.

Among the oracle bone researchers, Luo Zhenyu occupies an important position, is one of the "four halls of oracle bones", and is the founder of oracle bone science. Luo Zhenyu (1866-1940), a native of Huai'an, Jiangsu Province, has been immersed in the study of scripture history and exegesis since childhood, paying attention to the famous objects of gold and stone, especially in the study of scripture and history, and studying the scripts of scripture and history. From the age of 20, he devoted himself to studying ancient stele posts and wrote a "Small Biography of Reading Steles", and thus began to write books and lectures. He collected, preserved, and printed a large number of oracle bone original materials. In the 1920s and 1930s, he wrote more than 100 kinds of books such as "Fifty Days of Dream Records", "Yin Xu Shu Deed Pre-Compilation", "Yin Xu Shu Qi Jinghua", "Tieyun Hidden Turtle Yu", "Yin Xu Shu Deed Post-Compilation", "Yin Xu Shu Deed Continuation" and other books, laying the foundation for the study of oracle bone philology, so that the study of oracle bone script has become a huge view. In 1915, he released nearly 500 words in the "Yin XuShu Qi Examination Interpretation", many of which were recognized by the academic community.

Luo Zhenyu is good at true, line, seal, and calligraphy. Because he studied oracle bones after middle age, he continued to speculate and study, writing oracle bones with seals, and finally created an unprecedented oracle bone calligraphy. Luo Zhenyu oracle bone calligraphy features: round and vigorous, tight and stable, solemn and tidy. His Jiyin Ruins Script 楹聯 is the earliest example of oracle bone calligraphy. He integrated and wrote more than 170 paintings, thus leading the ancient and difficult oracle bones to the temple of calligraphy art and promoting them to society.

After Luo Zhenyu, some paleographers such as Dong Zuobin, Ding Fuzhi, Ye Yusen, Wang Xiang, Jian Jinglun, Wang Guowei, Ding Foyan, Shang Chengzuo, Guo Moruo, Shen Jianshi, Hu Xiaoshi, Rong Geng, Chen Bangfu, Tang Lan, Yu Shengwu and others were also studying oracle bone writing, and at the same time, they carried out the creation of oracle bone calligraphy, they did not write strictly according to the characteristics of oracle bone, but also synthesized the characteristics of various ancient scripts such as Jin script and Warring States script. They regarded the oracle bone as an inspiration, drawing on the characteristics of the oracle bone and creating their own works to form a modern oracle bone calligraphy work with a sense of the times.

Dong Zuobin (1895~1963) was a native of Nanyang, Henan, an oracle osteologist, ancient historian, and one of the "Four Halls of Oracle Bones". His contribution to oracle osteology lies in the fact that he presided over or participated in the excavation of the oracle bones of The Yin Ruins in Anyang eight times between 1928 and 1934, using modern archaeological methods and excavated oracle bones and documentary records to conduct comprehensive research, and he was the first to discover the phenomenon of the name of "Zhenren" in the oracle bones of the Yin Ruins. His book "Oracle Fracture Study Examples" puts forward 10 criteria for Oracle fracture, and he believes that the 5 period styles of Oracle are:

(1) Majestic: magnificent and magnificent, very energetic. (Oracle bones from 1384-1280 BC)

(2) Carefully decorated: abide by the law, moderate size, and evenly matched. (1280-1240 BC)

(3) Decadence: (1384-1280 BC)

(4) Strong: steep and towering, copper and iron bones. (1226-1210 BC)

(5) Strict rectification: strict rectification, square and straight. (1209-1112 BC)

Dong Zuobin's 5-issue classification of Oracle bones is extremely precious and has the merit of opening the mountain. It can help future generations to learn research. After Dong Shi, there are Hu Houyi's "four phases" said, Chen Mengjia's "three phases" and "nine phases" said, and Li Xueqin and others' "grouping and generation breaking" standards. The study of oracle bone dating is of great significance to the construction of the history of pre-Qin calligraphy, and is also of great significance for grasping the characteristics and style characteristics of the original ecological oracle bone calligraphy of Yin Shang. Dong Zuobin created a large number of oracle bone calligraphy, which is collected by many cultural institutions and celebrities around the world.

The oracle bone calligraphy he wrote was characterized by rectangular or square glyphs, straight and delicate strokes, and clear and clear. Therefore, some critics believe that the Ding's oracle bone calligraphy is more than enough with a pen, hurt by winning weakly, and has lost the simple and natural style of oracle bone.

Ye Yusen (1880-1933), a native of Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, was a calligrapher of the Republic of China, who wrote oracle bone monographs such as "Yin Qi Hook Shen", "Talking About Deeds and Studying Contract Techniques", "Compilation and Interpretation of Yin Ruins Before and After the Book Deeds", and "Interpretation of the Examination of The Turtle in Tieyunzang". The oracle bone he wrote, with a brush as a knife pen, the lines are extremely delicate and delicate, quite a rhyme of the words, and Dong Zuobin's oracle bone calligraphy Hongyi rigidity, once wrote and merged a volume of "Tianyi Collection".

Wang Xiang (1876-1965), a native of Tianjin, a paleographer, was one of the earliest appraisers and collectors of the Yin Ruins Oracle bone in China, and his "Yin Qi Class Compilation of the Yin Chamber" was the first collection in the history of oracle bone science, which was published in 1920. In 1925, he published the "Essay on the YinQi of the Chamber", which published the fine works of more than 5,000 oracle bones in his collection. Its oracle bone calligraphy is thick and simple. His Meng Dingsheng YinQi is regarded as the first model in the history of oracle bone calligraphy in the twentieth century.

The oracle bone scribes of the early twentieth century were also accomplished oracle bone experts, and they were also generalists and generalists in multiple humanities. In terms of calligraphy, most of them are both comprehensive and comprehensive, and they are particularly good at seal writing. In an extremely harsh environment, they shouldered the historical responsibility of the modern transformation of oracle bone calligraphy, and made indelible contributions to the entry of oracle bone calligraphy into the modern calligraphy pattern. In the mid-twentieth century, due to frequent political movements, the study of oracle bone science and oracle bone calligraphy was not paid attention to, especially during the "Cultural Revolution" when a large number of cultural experts were ruthlessly persecuted, and the oracle bone calligraphy continued with difficulty in political life and was unusually deserted. In the late twentieth century, reform and opening up led to "a hundred flowers blooming", and the loose cultural policy made the oracle bone calligraphy enter a period of prosperity again. However, due to the needs of social development, the discipline differentiation is becoming more and more detailed, the training of specialized talents has become the main goal of education, oracle bone science and oracle bone calligraphy have gained independence in disciplines, it seems that the oracle bone science is more academic, the oracle bone calligraphy is more artistic, and the oracle bone writers and oracle bone clericals are gradually separated.

With the transformation of historical context, in the context of modern culture, people can look at oracle bones from the perspective of art form. Oracle's artistic identity has received unprecedented aesthetic attention, and its artistic value has gradually been stripped from the original mixed form. The loss of its application value in religious occasions makes its artistic value prominent. Because of this, it directly entered the field of modern calligraphy, it has pure artistic value, gained new life and vitality, and is favored, obsessed with and chased by the vast number of chinese and foreign calligraphers and calligraphy enthusiasts, resulting in a wave of enthusiasm.
