The Upright Brush: Yan Zhenqing's Calligraphy and Song Literati Politics
Amy Mcnair
Arguing for the political rather than purely aesthetic basis for Yan Zhenqing's (709-785) reputation in Chinese calligraphy, the text posits that it was due to a handful of influential and well-educated men in the 11th century, who sought advancement by associating themselves with Yans' reputation.
