The art of calligraphy is a unique treasure in the world and a splendid flower of Chinese culture. The art of calligraphy is the most typical reflection of the beauty of oriental art and the excellence of oriental culture, and it is an art treasure that our nation should be proud of forever.

The staging of the history of Chinese calligraphy, from the general division, can be Yan Zhenqing in the Tang Dynasty as a demarcation point, previously known as the "evolution of the style of calligraphy period", later known as the "style of change period". During the period of evolution of calligraphic style, the development of calligraphy was mainly oriented to the evolution of calligraphic style, and the display of calligraphers' artistic style was often associated with calligraphic style. During the period of stylistic change, the calligraphic style was already in place, so there was no need to create a new typeface. So the calligrapher put forward the idea of "Shang Yi", "style" has been fixed, and "meaning" is alive, which further strengthens the main role of the author.
