Chapter 314 Calligrapher Li Shi_1

The"Stele of Zhang Qian"is simple and profound, powerful and majestic. It is a representative work among the Han Dynasty steles. Despite the ravages of time and the likelihood of it not conforming to the aesthetic tastes of some people today, Li Shi sees the beauty of the evolution of script art throughout history—from Oracle Bone Script to Bronze script, to Large Seal Script, Small Seal Script, and Han Script.

Each era has its own script.

And each era's script embodies its own calligraphic art and beauty.

They also reflect the temperament and spirit of the times.

"If you see its true face through the fragments, and look closely at the typeface, there are many changes within the square; within the unadorned simplicity, a flirtatious strength is faintly visible. It is round inside but square outside, twisted inside but stretched outside, square but not stiff."

After Li Shi replicates it once and meticulously studies it, he feels that he has gained a lot.
