Why do you think Zhao Mengfu didn t have a great work after him?

Because the word is a writing tool, and there are norms, nothing special, in the Jin and Tang dynasties has developed quite perfectly, all kinds of books have been fixed, there is not much room for development, the future people, although some are famous, the words are also good, but there is no essential breakthrough, so, so far it is still not surpassed, the background of the times is also different, with the withdrawal of vernacular and brush practicality is even more so.

There were no great calligraphers after him because not many people inherited them.

Because the great calligrapher who has no descendants after the family is his descendant, he does not like this calligraphy.

Calligraphy is a product of culture, after the ancient cloud cliff mountain China, in fact, after the Song Dynasty culture is missing, people's thoughts are greatly constrained, and the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Tang Dynasty, the two Song Dynasty are open-minded, the cultural heritage is profound, and everyone continues to be produced, after the Yuan Dynasty, calligraphy is mostly based on techniques, although famous artists such as Wen Zhengming are very famous, but what is written is mostly dead things, lack of aura, to put it bluntly, less stupid, crazy, crazy.

After him, there were no great calligraphers because there were not many such people. After him, there were no great calligraphers because there were not many such people.

Because he didn't have the ability to learn calligraphy properly, he didn't have the ability to inherit what they did.

Maybe he doesn't have the attitude to study like him, or he doesn't have the talent he has at all.

Because the art of calligraphy has not been passed down well, it also needs time.

Because people don't have the stars they used to have, they can't calm down and write calligraphy.

There is a problem with the topic. Zhao Mengfu is not a calligrapher. It's just a representative of the tradition that spares no effort, and there is nothing innovative.

Is there really none? Now many people's works are no worse than his.

Oh, this is actually a limitation of the times, it is the times that created Mr. Zhao.

There is no great calligrapher of Chen Jiaqi's house behind him, because people don't like it.

I think it may be that the calligraphers after Zhao Mengfu are all figures of their time.

The core of Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy: "It is not easy to use a pen through the ages" Whether it is in the Yuan Dynasty, the history of Chinese calligraphy or even the history of Chinese literature and art, Zhao Mengfu is a towering peak.

Zhao Mengfu believes: "There are two kinds of learning, one is penmanship, and the other is glyphs. The penmanship is fine, although good is still evil; The glyph is wonderful, although it is still familiar.

Learning books can solve this, and you can only use books to speak. "Learning books is playing with the Dharma of the ancients, and knowing the meaning of their pen is beneficial. In writing about the ancients, he pointed out a very interesting fact:

The predecessors got a few lines of ancient inscriptions and concentrated on learning, and they could be famous all over the world. What's more, the "Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface" is a calligraphy that Wang Youjun (Wang Xizhi) is satisfied with. If you keep learning, how can you worry that calligraphy will not be able to beat others?
