ABSTRACT

This paper focused on analyzing Du Fu(杜甫)’s Aesthetic view of calligraphy and Evaluation of future generations. Through Du Fu’s poems on calligraphy, it can be seen that Du Fu liked handwriting since childhood and already made some achievements in big letters in childhood. Besides, it is also seen that he had a high proficiency in calligraphy and a lot of critical insights into the calligraphic works of past and contemporary calligraphers. Among Du Fu’s poems, almost as many as 100 poems contained at least one line about the content of a poem on calligraphy, and four poems were filled with contents about calligraphy. So it can be said that Chinese poems on calligraphy began with Du Fu. In addition, his poems on calligraphy make it clear that the introduction presented by him became the standards for the calligraphy theory in the Tang Dynasty. Du Fu’s viewpoint like this became the standard for evaluating a style of handwriting in the Tang Dynasty before Yan Zhenqing(顔眞卿)’s style of handwriting became popular. Also, this paper introduced the evaluations of Du Fu’s calligraphy after the Song Dynasty period.
