Research on the Style of Duan Inkstone Inscription in Tang Dynasty

A Case Study of Two Duan Inkstones Unearthed in Archaeology of Tang Dynasty

Abstract

Under the background of the Tang Dynasty, regular script has developed into the most coordinated and stable calligraphy style through three periods of transition. This most stable regular script style is suitable for the inscriptions of stone tablets and Duan inkstone in the Tang Dynasty. During this transition, the inheritance and breakthrough in the early Tang Dynasty gave rise to the standardized embryonic form of regular script in the Tang Dynasty. Entering the middle of the Tang Dynasty, regular script was further innovated and developed, strengthening stability. It was not until the late Tang Dynasty was innovated and perfected, and the essence of the early stage was absorbed. During the transition period of regular script in the entire Tang Dynasty, on the basis of inheritance, there was a breakthrough and development. A stable development law was formed with changes in stability and changes in stability.
