Giản thể: 颜真卿
琴、棋、书、画是中国古代“四艺”，而其中的书法是最受重视的艺术之一。甲骨文是最早出现的成熟文字。到了秦朝，人们开始讲究字体的造型美，文人们都沉迷于练习书法。一般来说，书法的技艺高低能反映出写书法的人修养的深浅。写书法时需要一心一意、心神合一，这也是修身养性的方法。
今天我们就来谈谈中国最著名的书法家之一颜真卿，他是唐代著名的书法家。颜真卿的书法非常特别，一眼就可以看得出。他的字体方方正正，但是却方中见圆。用笔非常有力，一般横比较细，但是竖、点和捺等笔画都很粗。不管是他的行书还是草书，都给人一种大气的感觉。
中国人常说“字如其人”，我想这也代表了颜真卿正直、勇敢的性格。他除了是一名书法家，也是一个爱国为民的好官员。最后他因为追捕一个叛乱的官员而被杀，人们都感到非常难过，并为他修建了一座庙，以作纪念。

English: Yan Zhengqing
The zither, chess, calligraphy and drawing are China’s classical “Four Skills”, and amongst those, calligraphy is considered to be the most important one. Beginning with the oldest oracle bone inscriptions, to the Qin Dynasty, people began to pay attention to the beauty of the calligraphic style. All scholars were absorbed in the practice of calligraphy. In general, it is said that the level of skill at calligraphy reflects the level of accomplishment and depth of knowledge of the writer. While writing calligraphy, one needs focus and mental integrity, on top of being a method of cultivating one’s moral and mind.
Today, we are going to talk about China’s most famous calligrapher, Yan Zhenqing. Yan Zhenqing’s calligraphy is very distinct, a single look and you are able to recognize it. His calligraphic style is square-shaped, however, inside of the squares you see circles. He used the pen very strongly, generally with comparatively thin horizontal traces, but with thick dots and vertical traces. No matter whether it is his print or cursive writing, his traces elicited a strong impression in the beholder.
There’s a Chinese saying: “Handwriting reflects who you are”, I think this also represents Yan Zhenqing’s honest and courageous personality. Besides being a famous calligrapher, he was a people-loving, patriotic public official. In the end, he was murdered in the aftermath of a public official’s rebellion, a lot of people felt sad about his death, therefore, they built a shrine to commemorate him.
