From the perspective of the entire history of calligraphy, the development of calligraphy has developed to a peak from the Wei and Jin dynasties of the Three Kingdoms, and the calligraphy of later generations is not as good as this moment in terms of temperament and artistic height.
But each era also has the characteristics of each era, Tang Dynasty calligraphy is atmospheric and graceful, and the cultural environment of this era is related, religious culture flourishes, "writing scriptures" will also push the art of Xiao Kai to a peak, the Song Dynasty people advocate personal interest, "Song Sijia" in calligraphy, in the height of inheriting the predecessors wrote their own face, has become a height that is difficult for posterity to look up to!

"Wu's Reconstruction of caotang"
In the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, although the overall calligraphy style is also far from the predecessors, but it basically belongs to the category of literati calligraphy, even in the Ming and Qing dynasties, calligraphy has basically been solidified, and the "pavilion style" has also greatly reduced the "artistry" of calligraphy, but at the same time, it also has the kind of "bookish atmosphere" that is missing in contemporary calligraphy!
This kind of "bookish atmosphere" is generally missing from contemporary calligraphy, and contemporary calligraphy is not inferior to the ancients, not in terms of technique, but in culture, and there is generally no old learning foundation among the contemporary people who learn calligraphy. Therefore, the kind of background in calligraphy is relatively thin!
In recent years, there is a Qing Dynasty Xu Yuanli's calligraphy is very popular, called "Wu's Reconstruction of Caotang Record", this work is written in letters throughout, elegant and elegant, mellow skills, the kind of "bookish atmosphere" emitted between the lines makes contemporary people yearn for it!
Contemporary people study calligraphy, there is a drawback, that is, to learn a family, do not know its origin, such as learning European script, do not go up to the Northern Dynasty carved stone, learn Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy does not explore what is the "seal pen meaning", learn Chu Suiliang's characters, do not have a certain grasp of Yu Shinan and Ouyang Inquiry and the "Second King" style of writing, without the practice of chasing after its source is not OK!
Xu Yuanli's "Wu's Reconstruction of Caotang" does not have the slightest stereotype of contemporary writing calligraphy, but pays attention to the exchange of strokes, and in the exquisite dot painting of the calligraphy, it becomes flexible and simple, which is the style formed by the European script that combines the northern dynasty carved stones and the artistic conception of Zhao Ziang's brushwork!
The people of the Qing Dynasty were generally influenced by Zhao Ziang and Dong Qichang, because the Kangxi Emperor and the Qianlong Emperor generally liked "Zhao Dong", and the influence of the upper and lower was very good!
Although the Qing Dynasty's "Pavilion Style" calligraphy was greatly influenced, almost all the people up and down were affected by this atmosphere, but not all people's words were solidified into "printed bodies", and Xu Yuanli was a person who could get rid of this bondage!
Xu Yuanli was a man who used Gongsheng as a zhi county, he was on a par with his contemporary Guo Shangxian, and his calligraphy was both parallel with Jiaqing and Daoguang years, and his influence was extremely great! However, Guo Shangxian has a volume of "Fangjianguan Inscription" passed down, which has a great influence in the field of calligraphy theory, coupled with the prominent official position, compared to Xu Yuanli is far less famous than Guo Shangxian!
And Xu Yuanli only left this piece of "Wu's Reconstruction of Caotang", and his more exquisite calligraphy we have not been able to see today, but only in this work, it can also be called the first-class master of the Qing Dynasty!
Today, we have copied Xu Yuanli's "Wu's Reconstruction of Caotang" 1:1 according to the size of the original work, restoring a work that is no different from the original work, delicate and clear!
