Many outstanding calligraphers and painters such as Yang Yisun, Wu Dashi, Wu Changshuo, Zhu Xuanxian, Wang Fu'an, etc., were deeply influenced by the "Stone Drum Text" and established their own typical calligraphy art style.
Bada Shanren Pro "Stone Drum Text"
Zhu Qi (Bada Shanren) also studied the oldest stone inscriptions such as "Stone Drum Text" and "Yuwang Tablet". However, he did not follow the trend of writing according to the original inscription, but imitated the unique eight major types of calligraphy, extracted the penmanship and aesthetic characteristics he needed, and then carried out the layout of the calligraphy frame structure, which strengthened the expressive ability of the brush and ink lines.
This "Seal Book" highlights the aesthetic image of Zhu Qi's simple and hearty, elegant and concise calligraphy in the aesthetic image, and has a deep Zen and quiet atmosphere on the whole, conveying the spiritual mood of confusion, majesty, simplicity and elegance.
"Yuwang Tablet" is one of the oldest inscriptions in the mainland, the inscription is a peculiar ancient seal inscription, bird seal inscription, the word is divided into 9 lines, a total of 77 words. The monument is 1.7 meters high and 1.4 meters wide. The font of this stele is strangely ancient, such as walking dragons and snakes, like curled tadpoles, and has also had a profound impact on later generations of calligraphers.
