唐代的书法世家

Calligraphy Families During the Tang Dynasty

唐代是中国书法文化的兴盛期,不仅涌现出许多书法名家,而且形成了不少书法世家。书法世家在唐代的形成,既与毛笔手工书写的时代大背景相关,又与唐代尚好书法的社会大环境有密切关系。书法是唐代士族普遍注重的家学,成为士族保持优良门风的基本要求。唐代书法世家是士族保持家学和门风的结果,以唐前期最为繁盛。唐代中后期,随着士族“衣冠荡析”,门风废替,家学零落,书法世家也渐渐衰落。唐代书法世家承前启后,在笔法传承中发挥了接力作用,他们为法书名品的守护和递藏作出了积极贡献,还给后世留下了大量精美的碑志佳作,值得深入研究。

The Tang Dynasty was a prosperous period of China’s calligraphy culture.Not only did many famous calligraphers emerge,but also many calligraphy families were formed.The formation of a calligraphic family in the Tang Dynasty is closely related to the background of the times when calligraphy was written by hand,and to the social environment in which calligraphy was still good in the Tang Dynasty.Calligraphy is a family science that the gentry in the Tang Dynasty generally paid attention to,and it became the basic requirement for the gentry to maintain a good family style.The calligraphic family during the Tang Dynasty was the result of the gentry maintaining their family learning and family style,and it was the most prosperous in the early Tang Dynasty.In the middle and late Tang dynasty,with the decline of nobility,the family style was abandoned and the family learning was scattered,and the calligraphy family gradually declined.Calligraphy families in the Tang Dynasty played a relay role in the inheritance of brushwork.They made positive contributions to the protection and collection of famous calligraphy books,and they also left a large number of exquisite epitaphs for later generations,which are worthy of our in-depth study.
