In the Qing Dynasty, epigraphic calligraphy has achieved unprecedented development, which is a grand situation that has not been seen since the Qin and Han Dynasties, because since the Beginning of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the theory calligraphy once occupied the mainstream position, and the followers were like a stream. Until the Qing Dynasty, with the increase of bronze, stele and other excavated artifacts, as well as the influence of other factors, finally ushered in the second peak of seal calligraphy that has been silent for a thousand years. Among them, there are many famous calligraphers in seal calligraphy, especially Deng Shiru's influence is the most far-reaching, but there are also some calligraphers who jump out of the "Deng School", such as the representative of this class to introduce Yang Yisun is one of them.
Although Yang Yisun's seal book originated from Deng, it can be ingenious compared to the "Deng School" style. This is mainly due to his unique philological research, which not only summarizes and summarizes the achievements of epigraphy since the Qingjia and Dao dynasties, but also explores the reasons for the decline of seal calligraphy after the Qin and Han dynasties. Therefore, Yang Yisun took a different path and combined the golden text with the small seal to form his unique style of writing.
After Yang Yisun's seal book was integrated into the Golden Text and the Small Seal, on the basis of the beautiful and graceful "Deng Pai" books at that time, the solemnity of the Golden Text was added, and the knot body was also complicated and simple, and the Odd and Positive were dependent on each other. The pen is mostly centered, and the square circle is used at the same time, which is strong and elegant.
Yang Yisun once commented on his calligraphy as follows: "My book is sealed with the Tang clan, and it is proud or excessive, and it cannot be divided into subordinates." This means that his seal book is higher than Deng Shiru's, but lishu is inferior to Deng Shiru. In addition, there are also sometimes people who comment on his seal book as "not brave enough, but the abundance of gods is too much", "the skill is very diligent, the rules are prepared, and the lack of those who are lacking is bold".
But in any case, Yang Yisun's seal book still seems worth learning today. Next, enjoy Yang Yisun's calligraphy works together——
