Memorial to his Nephew
Yen Chen-ch'ing (A.D. 709-
785)
T'ang Dynasty
Ink on paper. Semi-cursive

Yen Chen-ch'ing,
whose style name was
Ch'ing-ch'en, was a native
of Lin-i in Shantung.
He developed a reputation
for broad learning, an
elegant and polished writing
style, and filial piety. He
received his chin-shih
degree during the K'ai-yuan
era (A.D. 713-743) and was
later enfeoffed Duke of Lu.
A master in both standard
and cursive styles, his
brush strokes were strong
and vigorous. He exercised
enormous influence on later
calligraphers.
