Liu Gongquan ( 柳公權,Liu Gong-Chuan, 778-865, Tang Dynasty) combined Ouyang Xun's refined features of elegant, angular strokes with the fullness and weight of Yan Zhenqing's style to create his own Kaishu style, which demonstrates structure, discipline, and clarity. His Kaishu calligraphy was so famous in the Tang Dynasty that if there were any officers who did not ask him to write for their family steles they were considered not showing enough filial piety. In reply to the emperor's inquiry about the best way to use the brush, he advised that "An upright heart makes for an upright brush," pointing out that our brushwork always reflects our personality - and implying that it is possible to improve both.

小学時候常練柳公權

但发见帖内有个"明"字是目月,而不是日月,

何解

[artvirtue]

@1088chong

中國文字經過漫長的演變

有篆隸草行楷

其中楷書的異體字別字俗體字夾雜了篆隸草行中的某些寫法

故楷書碑帖中常有不同於現代學校社會的標準寫法

您可到 9610點com 的書法字典中試看以下的別字或字體

明(朙) 秋(穐) 師藝雜

或查閱九成宮醴泉銘及乙瑛碑

Thank you for another valuable upload. At 2.19 you showed a piece of work done by 10-year olds - if they can write this well at such a tender age, they will will surely become great calligraphers in no time ! Rgds

@cristobelle56 Welcome. When I was at age 10, my teacher had about 10% students that could write more skillfully than me. It's a matter of whether those talented young children will continue or not. In most cases, because of entering good high schools and universities in Taiwan or China were very difficult and limited, we usually focused on math and gave up calligraphy and the like.

There are good testimonies at sf108com channel playlist KIDs & TEEN Chinese Calligraphy & Painting.
