Playlist:    • 2024北大书法公开课(书法审美与实践)   2025 Spring Peking University Calligraphy Open Class:    • 2025年(秋)北大书法公开课   2025 Spring Peking University Calligraphy Open Class:    • 2025年(春)北大书法公开课   In this wonderful Peking University calligraphy open class, Professor Fang will guide us to systematically explore the core of Chinese calligraphy art—the five major script styles: Seal Script, Clerical Script, Regular Script, Running Script, and Cursive Script. Have you ever thought that Regular Script is the foundation of Running Script and Cursive Script, and appeared earliest? The course will reveal a script evolution sequence that may overturn your traditional understanding, and deeply analyze the historical and cultural logic behind it. From the simple pictographs of oracle bone script to the symmetrical elegance of Qin Dynasty seal script; from the flowing strokes of Han Dynasty clerical script to the Wei-Jin style of running and cursive script; and then to the strictly structured regular script of the Tang Dynasty, Teacher Fang vividly explains the unique aesthetic characteristics and artistic charm of each script style through rich examples of works by renowned calligraphers. The course not only covers the causes of the "clerical script transformation" and the cross-disciplinary integration between script styles, but also compares the differences between stone inscriptions and ink traces, exploring the irreplaceable beauty of "improvisation" in calligraphy. Whether you are a calligraphy beginner or a seasoned enthusiast, this course will open a door to the hall of calligraphy art and enhance your aesthetic appreciation abilities. 00:00 Identification of the Five Calligraphic Styles: Regular Script, Running Script, Seal Script, Clerical Script, Cursive Script 02:28 The Historical Sequence of the Appearance of the Five Styles 05:35 The Early Forms of Clerical Script and the Causes of the "Clerical Transformation" 09:35 The Structural Aesthetics of Clerical Script: From Handwriting to Inscription 10:36 The Evolution of Calligraphic Styles: From Clerical Script to Cursive Script, and Then to Running Script and Regular Script 13:52 The Pinnacle of Calligraphic History: Wang Xizhi's Innovations and Contributions 14:36 ​​Summary and Discussion of the Evolutionary Seal of the Five Major Calligraphic Styles 17:11 The Beauty of Seal Script: Picturesque, Symmetrical, and Graceful Lines 23:04 The Aesthetic Differences Between Large Seal Script and Small Seal Script: Unrestrained and Regular 25:00 The Beauty of Clerical Script: The Extending "Waves" and "Silkworm Head and Swallow Tail" 34:15 The Beauty of Regular Script: The Perilous Momentum and the "Eight Principles of Yong" 39:41 The Beauty of Running Script: Flowing Rhythm and Connected Strokes 48:41 The Beauty of Cursive Script: Ultimate Simplification, Turning, and Freedom of Writing 57:07 Cross-Border Integration of Script Styles: Running-Cursive, Semi-Regular-Cursive, and the Mixing of Five Styles 01:11:13 The Dynamics of Static Scripts: The "Cursive" Expression of Seal, Clerical, and Regular Scripts 01:19:20 The Unique Styles of Seal-Clerical and Regular-Clerical Fusion 01:25:24 Script Styles as a Family: The Diverse Style Evolution within the Same Script Style 01:28:12 Calligraphy and AI: The Irreplaceable Nature of Improvisational Art 01:30:32 Class Assignment: Write a Studio Name for Yourself #Calligraphy #CalligraphyTeaching #PekingUniversityOpenCourse #ChineseCulture #SealScript #ClericalScript #RegularScript #RunningScript #CursiveScript --- Teacher: Fang Jianxun, Researcher at the Calligraphy Education and Research Center of Peking University, PhD in Aesthetics and Postdoctoral Fellow in Art History from Peking University He is the host of the CCTV calligraphy and painting channel's "One Seal a Day" program and a member of the China Calligraphers Association.
