Similar to Japan, Tang Dynasty Kaishu had a profound impact on the development of Korean calligraphy, known as seoye (서예). The adoption of Chinese characters and the principles of Tang Kaishu provided the foundation for the emergence of distinctive Korean calligraphic styles. The influence of Tang Kaishu in Korea helped to shape the development of the art form there. Korean calligraphers adopted and adapted Tang Kaishu to suit the needs of the Korean language, developing unique styles that often blended Chinese influences with Korean aesthetic preferences. The styles developed in Korea were heavily influenced by Chinese calligraphy, but they also contained distinctly Korean elements. The adaptation of the Chinese styles helped to give Korean calligraphy its own unique character. The study of Tang calligraphy remains an essential part of seoye training, emphasizing the importance of tradition in the practice of calligraphy. The styles that developed in the Tang period are still studied and venerated by many Korean practitioners of the art. The Tang Dynasty tradition is still alive and well in Korea today. The legacy of Tang Kaishu in Korea is a reminder of the enduring power of cultural exchange and how art forms can evolve and adapt within new cultural contexts. The styles have continued to develop and adapt, even as they have remained influenced by Tang calligraphy. The influence of Chinese calligraphy on the Korean tradition remains readily apparent. |
