中国法书对日本书法的影响

日本书法艺术的形成和发展与中国法书的传入有相当直接的渊源关系。盛唐时,王羲之等的法帖传入日本,受此影响,日本书法开始确立,及至日本奈良时期,全面模仿唐朝,崇拜晋唐的书体在日本盛行。王羲之等的书体由那些来唐朝学习的遣唐使带回日本,当时最著名的有最澄、空海、橘逸势等。晚唐以后,追随和模仿中国的倾向衰弱下来,与此同时,日本自己的民族文化也萌出了新芽。南宋时候的日本书法界,宋朝的书体开始向以王羲之书体为基础的唐朝书体挑战了。明清以来,中国众多书法家的法帖流入日本,使得日本书法界异彩纷呈。

Influence on Japanese Calligraphy of the Chinese Model Calligraphy

The formation and development of Japanese calligraphy had quite direct relation with the spreading of the Chinese model calligraphy. In the Tang Dynasty, the model copybooks of Wang Xi-zhi were introduced to Japan, which pushed forward the establishment of Japanese calligraphy. During the period of Nara, the style imitating the one of the Jin and Tang Dynasty began to prevail in Japan. After the late Tang Dynasty, the tendency of following and imitating China faded, and meanwhile, the Japanese culture sprouted new bud too. The circle of Japanese calligraphy in the times of Southern Sung Dynasty, the style of this period began to challenge the style of Tang Dynasty based on the calligraphy of Wang Xi-zhi. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasty, numerous copybooks of Chinese calligraphists flew into Japan, making the Japanese calligraphic circle presented a splendor appearance.
