The large characters are calm and harmonious, there is no frivolity, the small characters are stable and soft, they are good at small letters, they are known for their cursive writing, and they are good at making large vertical axes. This is the evaluation of Chen Yixi, one of the four great calligraphers in the early Qing Dynasty.
Chen Yixi (1648-1709), zi liuqian, xiangquan, fengsuo, zhejiang haining people. He is known for his poetry and calligraphy, especially calligraphy. Together with Jiang Chenying, Wang Shifeng, and He Zhuo, they were known as the four great masters of the book world during the Kangxi Dynasty.
Chen Yixi studied calligraphy from an early age, took calligraphy from the Fa Jin people, and won by the study of thesis, which had a great influence among the scholars and scholars at that time. He studied calligraphy diligently, Xiao Kai was known for his stable title, and the large-character banners were calm and harmonious, and he was known as "the authenticity of the pen that is not easy to use through the ages", "Han Mo Miao Contemporary, Hai Nei Qiran", known as "Xiangquan Body".

Chen Yixi's calligraphy works were favored by many people, and his works were sought from near and far, and the Emperor of Japan also paid a lot of money to buy them. His representative works ,"Mengmo Lou Fa Ti" and "Yu Ning Tang Fa Ti", have been widely circulated.
The calligraphy of the early Qing Dynasty has a clear Ming Dynasty heritage, and the wild and uninhibited cursive style of the late Ming Dynasty is incompatible with the cultural policies of the Qing Dynasty and has not been developed. Therefore, after the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, few calligraphers could write cursive, coupled with kangxi's love for Dong Qichang's calligraphy, and Qianlong also admired Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy, and general calligraphers only regarded Zhao and Dong as models.

Chen Yixi was the number one anti-Dong faction at that time, and his writing was not willing to be bound by Dong's shackles, he used more force on the rice characters, focused on the change of knots, and made the drum side ups and downs between the lines.
In the early Qing Dynasty, it was a period of mediocre transition, the prevalence of theology, the popularity of the "pavilion style", and the incubation period of epigraphy. Chen Yixi was not very much of a north monument at that time, but he was extremely concerned about it and strongly respected the north monument. Special attention is paid to the "North Monument Zhang Raptor Monument".
Chen Yixi understands the value of the North Stele from the origin of the development of ancient law, and in the study of the Northern Dynasty inscription, he integrates the stele of the past to form a unique style of "non-seal and non-subordinate".
