Chinese calligraphy history : Qing dynasty(1644--1911) In earlier Qing dynasty, Kang Xi (the second emperor of Qing dynasty) liked Dong Qichang's calligraphy. So many people study Dong Qichang's calligraphy. But as we know, Dong's calligraphy is not top level in history. So people could not become a great calligrapher even they write as good as Dong Qichang. Later, people changed to Zhang Mengfu. During the time of Yong Zheng and Qian Long (the third and fourth emperor of Qing), Wen Zi Yu is very serious. Wen Zi Yu is the law forbidding people writting any words politically. Many people died by writing some word which is not even political at all from Wen Zi Yu. So many educated people went to do archeological research to avoid been thrown into prison. As some tablets were discovered at that time, people came to study calligraphy on the tablets. That made the Chinese calligraphy works better in Qing dynasty than in Ming dynasty.
