So why did the calligraphy of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China begin to gradually heat up in the history of Chinese calligraphy, and was liked by more and more Calligraphy-loving Tibetan friends?
In the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, although there were internal and external troubles and political turmoil, the art of the book world was exceptionally prosperous, which can be said to be "a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending", which is like the "axis era" in the Spring and Autumn Period.
The calligraphy of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China was roughly divided into two generations, the first of which was during the Qing Daoguang and Xianfeng periods. Because they were educated in traditional culture from an early age, they were influenced by Western literature and later by Western literature, and their academic thinking was more enlightened than that of their predecessors, and their knowledge of both the thesis and steleology was relatively deep. After arriving in the Republic of China, people and books are old and self-contained.
Such as: Weng Tonghe, He Shaoji, Li Wentian, etc.

Most of the artistic achievements and activities of the second generation of calligraphers were during the Republic of China, and they received both strict confucian and other traditional Sinology education and absorbed a large amount of Western culture.
For example, many people study in Japan and France, accept the ideas of democratic revolution, participate in political changes and new cultural movements, have a wide range of social experience, are active in their thinking, have great innovation, and have great reforms on the basis of their achievements with their predecessors.
They played an important role in the development of calligraphy. Such as: Wu Changshuo, Yu Youren, Kang Youwei and so on.

The calligraphy of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China embodies the tenacious and indomitable spirit of the nation. The special pattern of the times has created the inherent tenacity, rigidity and tolerance of calligraphers, and has embodied the pioneering and innovative spirit of indomitable progress, coupled with rigorous and practical teacher learning, so that the calligraphy of the Republic of China period can flourish.
At the same time, during the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, many calligraphy propositions that fit the requirements of the times were also put forward, and a series of changes were made, such as: opposing the long-term conformist calligraphy of the theology, using epigraphic calligraphy to inject new blood into the old thesis, under the fierce collision of the old and new cultures, Chinese calligraphy achieved the combination of innovation and inheritance of traditional cultures.
With the gradual understanding of the art of calligraphy in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China by a large number of collectors, the auction market has paid more and more attention to this series of calligraphy, and the price of calligraphy works has also risen.
