碩士 === 國立臺南藝術大學 === 藝術史學系藝術史與藝術評論碩士班 === 99 === Often compared with Wang Xizhi’s elegance and gentleness, the regular script style of calligrapher Yen Chen-ching in Tang Dynasty is masculine, unsophisticated and full. However, in the prevalent atmosphere of the beautiful calligraphy at that time, why Yen Chen-ching changed his calligraphy style? That is my concern in this article. This study is divided into four parts: first, to reorganize the existing regular script works of Yen Chen-ching; staging and style-analyzing to confirm the reference works of Yen Chen-ching’s stylistic change maturity; that works will be the second part, as the age basis factors, to study what affected Yen Chen-ching’s stylistic change. Secondly, pre-Yen Chen-ching’s stylistic change and cultural environment, changes in aesthetic standards for calligraphy and the calligraphy style of showing the phenomenon of change, researcher analyzes the factors affecting Yen Chen-ching’s stylistic change. Then, with the Yen Chen-ching’s stylistic change before the life experiences of perspective to the role of inheritance, and tourist sites of ancient steles and the popular calligraphy to the impact of Yen Chen-ching. Finally, view calligraphy style of Xu Hao, under the same teacher with Yen Chen-ching, to clarify the Yen Chen-ching and Xu Hao, their calligraphy styles and interactive relationship in stylistic change. Meanwhile, researcher examines the link between Yen Chen-ching and the official-scripters at the same period, to explore the Yen Chen-ching’s stylistic change included in the "old-style methods." According to the results of this study show that Yen Chen-ching started stylistic change from “Tung-fang Shuo Hua-tsan”, dated the thirteenth year of T’ien-pao(754A.D), and “Magu Xiantan Ji”, dated the sixth year of Dali (771 A.D ),was his maturity of stylistic change. A variety of factors in cultural environment driving change in style of calligraphy, calligraphy have become agents of change affecting Yen Chen-ching. Modeled after the relationship with the technique of writing inspiration, and the features of calligraphy learned during his tourist destination, they facilitated the achievements of the Yen’s stylistic change. Also, the interaction between Yen and his friends in the same period of the official script calligraphy provided him to absorb the traditional methods into innovative sources.
