This article discusses the various implications of the Stele of Gu Lang(272)and the Stele of Madame Cao(348)(two inscriptions installed in Leiyang,Hunan province)for the history of calligraphy and particularly for the issue of clericalization(libian).Zhong You's(ca.163-230)use of the regular script is evidence that it was already established during the period of the Three Kingdoms(220-265).Wang Xizhi(303-361)developed the regular script of Zhong You,as well as the cursive script of Zhang Zhi(d.192)as inherited and carried forward by the Wei family.Due to the division of the Chinese territory during the Northern and Southern Dynasties(317-589),there was a long period during which the development of calligraphy was asymmetrical.In the Southern Dynasties,the calligraphy of the gentry was expressed in epistles and stone tablet inscriptions,which progressed simultaneously,whereas,in the Northern Dynasties,calligraphic creation was in a constant process of clericalization expressed in stone inscriptions.In the long history of Chinese calligraphy,only the Northern Dynasties and the Qing dynasty(1644-1911)have lacked the highest form of artistic creation,epitomized by the cursive script.The path that the development of calligraphy has taken has not only followed its own,internal logic but has also been diverted by certain historical figures.It is the responsibility of the calligraphy studies scholarly community to engage in research based on facts and logic,so that clear conclusions can be drawn and misinterpretations avoided.
