论晚明时期篆隶书风创作的初兴

Newly Rising Seal and Clerical Script in Late Ming Dynasty

在行草大盛的晚明时期,篆隶书也有了一定的发展。在这一时期不仅学习篆隶的书家数量十分庞大,而且较之于前代,晚明的篆隶书法创作还有了一定的突破,这些书家向金石碑刻取法,并不是简单临摹字形,而是开始关注这些金石碑刻所特有的金石气息,创造出不同于前代的篆隶风格。这是碑学在晚明滥觞的标志,也为清代篆隶的兴盛奠定了坚实基础。

In late Ming dynasty, running script flourished and seal and clerical script developed to a certain degree. In this period, many calligraphers began to learn such kind of script, and compared to the previous generation, seal and clerical script in late Ming dynasty had some kind breakthrough. Those calligraphers learn a lot from inscriptions on ancient bronzes and stone tablets. It was not the form that they imitated but the peculiar air of metal and stone that they paid attention to. Based upon that, they created a style very different from that in previous generation, which also symbolized the beginning of tablet studies in late Ming dynasty. And this had established a sound base for the prosperity of seal and clerical script in Qing dynasty.
