A Study on the Characteristics of Japanese Calligraphy during the Heian Period based on the Hongren Edition of Wen Guan Ci Lin
The Hongren edition of Wen Guan Ci Lin from Japan is what Ouyang Xiu referred to as a'model of regular script'.It was primarily transcribed during the reign of Emperor Saga in the Heian period of Japan.The script is characterized by its strict adherence to regular script principles and its dignified and robust style.Additionally,the extensive collection stands as a supreme masterpiece among Tang dynasty manuscripts.It mainly features the calligraphic style of Ouyang Xiu,interspersed with models from Chu Suiliang,Li Yong,and others,exuding the essence of Tang dynasty calligraphy.By comparing the calligraphic features of the Hongren edition of Wen Guan Ci Lin with the later Japanese monk Kukai's manuscript of Bunkyo Hifu Ron,it is evident that the latter bears a strong local influence,indicating it was likely produced not long after the reign of Emperor Saga.The Hongren edition of Wen Guan Ci Lin holds significant reference value for understanding the development characteristics of Jin and Tang dy-nasty calligraphy.In the calligraphy histories of both China and Japan,it is noteworthy for its typographic categorization,the fusion of northern and southern calligraphic styles,its large-scale collection,and its contribution to calligraphic research and verification.
