In calligraphy, he first studied the styles of Yan Zhenqing, Zhong You, and Wang Xizhi, but after his middle years he learned from the virtues of various masters. In his later years he combined the brush manners of Jin, Tang, and Song dynasty masters to create a “Grand Synthesis.” Dong Qichang himself said that he spent a total of four years to do this version of the “Thousand Character Classic,” completing it in 1609 at the Chinese age of 55. Throughout the album is a sense of archaism to the skillful brushwork, the elegant lines also having a sense of power. The character forms combine the strengths of Zhiyong, Yu Shinan, and Yan Zhenqing’s styles, making this a fine example of Dong’s small regular script.&*1.〈明董其昌書千字文〉,收入何傳馨、陳階晉、侯怡利主編,《五體千字文選輯》(臺北:國立故宮博物院,2010年六月出版一刷),頁9。 2.何炎泉,〈千字文概論〉,收入何傳馨、陳階晉、侯怡利主編,《五體千字文選輯》(臺北:國立故宮博物院,2010年六月出版一刷),頁176-188。
