李邕的行书艺术及其对后世的影响

ON LI YONG' ART OF CALLIGRAPHY AND THE INFLUENCE UPON LATER GENERATIONS

唐代书家李邕以行书名于世,他不拘于成规,善于食古而化、变通前人之法。这种"变"体现在从点画用笔、结字取势到章法布局等各个方面,从而确立了其独树一帜的行书风格。尽管不断有人提出不同看法,李邕及其书法对后世的影响仍然是巨大的、深远的,甚至得到了与"书圣"王羲之相提并论的殊荣。

Li Yong was a famous calligrapher of the Tang Dynasty, and he skilled in Xing Shu. He changed the rules of predecessors and evolved a special style of his own. The changes were embodyed by almost all the aspects such as strokes,structure and overall arrangement in Li Yong's works. Some people did not approve his moral character and his calligraphy in history,but Li Yong and his calligraphy of Xing Shu have still had such a great profound influence upon later generations that he gained the honour being mentioned in the same breadth with the calligraphy-sage Wang Xi-zhi.
