The Tang Dynasty was the most prosperous era in the history of the mainland, and the people at that time regarded "plumpness" as the beauty, showing the spirit of the Tang Dynasty.
For example, Yan Zhenqing relied on the broad and strong regular script to break free from the shackles of the "two kings", and was praised as "Yasheng" by later generations, so people believe that the "plump" style of calligraphy was created by Yan Zhenqing.
In fact, this style of writing was created by his "master" Xu Hao, who once served as a national prince in the court.
He believes that at the beginning of his studies, he focused on studying the inner strength of dot painting. Only the frame of the font is supported by the bone force, and then the flesh and blood will not be attached to the fat feeling, so when using the pen, you should pay attention to the hidden edge, if the edge is too strong, the skeleton will be "too rigid and easy to break".
This "Monk Tablet is not empty" is a mature work of the Tang Dynasty's "plump" calligraphy style, this kind of dot painting is calm and heavy, the pen is flexible and beautiful, the entire Tang Dynasty into the nib, and even Yan Zhenqing, who is mainly simple and upright, and Ouyang Xun, who is thin and hard with a pen, can not write.
Copying this work from time to time can make us use the pen more steady, the pen is more powerful, to prevent the pen from being vain, light and soft, and Xu Hao's penmanship has been inherited by the "two kings".
Therefore, the practice of this work can also help us, lay the foundation of the Jin people, is a model for learning the regular script of the Tang Dynasty, the original tablet is now in the forest of steles in Xi'an.
