ABSTRACT

In recent years, as research on the history of calligraphy has intensified, the Chongzhao calligraphic style of the mid-Qing period has played an increasingly important role in the overall history of Qing calligraphy. In the past, many commentators have attributed the Chongzhao calligraphic style prevalent during this period to the personal preferences of the emperor, ignoring the basic laws of calligraphic development, leading to a biased understanding of this period of calligraphic history. For this reason, this paper will analyze the calligraphic background of the mid-Qing period from the political background of that time, that is, the weak and vulgar Dong Qichang calligraphic style could no longer meet the needs of the Qianlong dynasty, and examine Zhao Mengfu's identity as a second minister in the Yuan Dynasty, his calligraphic achievements, and the Qianlong emperor's own calligraphic concepts, in order to comprehensively explore the causes of the prevalence of the Chongzhao calligraphic style in the mid-Qing period.
