Epigraphy is the study of the origin, era, system, rubbings and text content of inscriptions, and also refers to the calligraphy school that advocates inscriptions, as opposed to calligraphy. The study of steles has three basic meanings: north stele, north stele plus seal script, and north stele plus Tang stele. The study of steles began in Song Dynasty and flourished after the middle of Qing Dynasty.
From the aesthetic point of view of calligraphy, the calligraphy style of stele school pursues a kind of simple beauty, vigorous beauty and bold beauty. If rubbings calligraphy belongs to a beautiful style, then rubbings calligraphy belongs to a magnificent style. Liang Qichao wrote in the Anthology of Drinking Ice Room: The Southern Post is the Sect of Round Pen, and the Northern Monument is the ancestor of Fang Bi.
Qi Jian is vigorous and steep, and the northern faction is also long. Longmen 20 products, Yanlong tablet and hanging pen are its representatives. A break is swaying, subtle and chic, and the length of the South School is also. Lanting, Luoshen and Chunhua Pavilion posts are its representatives.
Monuments in the history of calligraphy, also known as carved stones or monuments, refer to stones engraved with words, including temple monuments, tombstones, epitaphs, statues and cliff carvings. Inscription calligraphy is generally written first and then engraved, so it is a second creation after two processes of writing and engraving.
Development history
The study of stone tablets began in the Song Dynasty. After the middle of Qing Dynasty, the study of steles declined, the inscriptions flourished and the study of steles rose. Before Jiaqing (1736- 1795) and Daoguang (1821-kloc-0/850) in the Qing Dynasty, calligraphy advocated the law post, and since Ruan Yuan advocated the theory of the North-South School of Calligraphy, he advocated the North Monument, so the wind of worshipping monuments prevailed for a while. The world also regards the study of steles as the northern school, and the later school as the southern school.
The study of stele was developed by the decline of iron science. It is natural for people to rise up against the declining post-school because they think that post-school tends to be weak and vulgar, and a large number of inscriptions and statues are gradually unearthed for scholars and calligraphers to study, learn from and learn.
