The calligraphy art in Wei, Jin and Southern Dynasties pays attention to grace and charm. At that time, calligraphy advocated "spirit first, form second", and most of them showed a style of appealing to both refined and popular tastes. The general trend of calligraphy in Tang Dynasty is to attach importance to statutes. Calligraphers in the Tang Dynasty summarized the previous calligraphy, standardized and refined the calligraphy structure and pen use.

Calligraphy in Song Dynasty pursues interest rather than legalism. Calligraphers in the Song Dynasty advocated not sticking to the ancient law and taking adaptation as the foundation. The calligraphy fashion in Yuan and Ming Dynasties emphasized imitation and paid attention to font. The trend of calligraphy entered the retro period in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, and most literati followed the example of Jin people and sought seal cutting.

Extended data:

China's calligraphy art began in the generation stage of Chinese characters, and symbols depicting Chinese characters first appeared on pottery. The primitive depiction symbol only represents a rough concept of chaos and has no exact meaning.

More than 8,000 years ago, magnetic mountain culture, Fiji and Khan Lee cultures appeared in the Yellow River Basin. There are many characters-like symbols on the hand-made ceramics unearthed in Fiji and Khan Lee, which are the chaotic combination of the communication function, note-taking function and pattern decoration function of the ancestors. Although these Chinese characters are unrecognizable by modern people, they are the embryonic form of Chinese characters.

Immediately after the Banpo site of Yangshao culture about 6000 years ago, some painted pottery with similar characters were unearthed. These symbols are distinguished from patterns, which promotes the development of Chinese characters. This can be said to be the origin of China characters.
