It is indeed a pity. As everyone knows, there is no Tan Yankai among the top ten outstanding calligraphers of the 20th century. Although Tan Yankai was ranked among the top four in the Republic of China, he failed to make the list of the top ten best calligraphers of the 20th century. It is really surprising. You know, whether it is the Republic of China or now, Tan Yankai's calligraphy is extremely influential, especially his regular script. His calligraphy inherited the regular script of Yan Zhenqing. It is not only vigorous, but also unique, giving people a fresh and refined feeling. It is a very high realm. This is also the fundamental reason why he is famous in the calligraphy world. Now let us appreciate Tan Yankai's calligraphy together.





As we all know, Tan Yankai did not appear in the selection of the top ten outstanding calligraphers, but Tan Yankai's calligraphy is indeed amazing. His running script is full and full of vitality. He writes very well, just like the person he is. Especially his calligraphy, the energy makes people like it at first sight, and he brings out the spirit of running script to the fullest. At the same time, we also noticed that although his running script uses heavy brush and ink, it is not heavy. Instead, it gives people a very relaxed feeling. This is indeed a unique experience.







There is no need to talk about Tan Yankai's regular script. The regular script he wrote is not only ancient and elegant, but also unique in flavor. Especially in structure, it is rigorous and compact. Every stroke and every word has a compact flavor. This delicate calligraphy was deeply recognized at the time and respected by later generations. However, he was not one of the top ten best calligraphers of the 20th century. Even Xie Wuliang, who looked like a "childish style", was selected. It's a pity that Tan Yankai was not selected, which is very disappointing.





I think everyone should be familiar with Tan Yankai's calligraphy, and he is also a role model for everyone to learn from. But now, his calligraphy, whether it is regular or regular, has won everyone's "hearts". I wonder what do you think about his not being included in the ranks of the top ten outstanding calligraphers of the 20th century? Tell us what you think.
