Many people only know one of the five aesthetic realms of calligraphy. What are the other four?

They are simple and harmonious, simple and natural, rigorous in statutes, elegant and swaying, handsome and natural. Among all countries in the world, China's calligraphy is the only one that can develop its own language into an art, and China's square characters are a major feature. Since primary school, we have been asked to write the square characters of Tian font, and each stroke has its own writing method. After calligraphy is gradually regarded as an art, its classification and requirements have been more clearly defined. Just as Wang Guowei said that life has three realms, so does calligraphy.

As many people know, simplicity is a realm of calligraphy, and most people who love to write have a calm heart. Only by letting go of the glitz in your heart can you really write beautiful words. But the other four are less well known. The first is simplicity and harmony. Calligraphy pays attention to the simplicity and cleanliness of the fonts written, and does not require too many skills. Just like acting, the more you use professional skills, the more unnatural it becomes.

Strict statutes mean strict requirements on the internal structure of characters and the spacing structure between words. To write a word beautifully is like a house that needs careful measurement and construction. The proportion of radicals in the whole word and the swaying posture after a break mean that the calligraphy works look elegant and beautiful, which is quite a feeling of women's step by step.

Everyone's handwriting looks different in different calligraphy. It is said that characters are like people, and a person's character style is often a part of his personality. The words written by prudent people are often small and regular, while those written by bold people are often eloquent and more free. The representative of Jin Fang's handsome style is Huang Daozhou. When he writes vigorously, he can see that every painting has a strong aesthetic feeling. This kind of word makes people feel energetic, warm and even inspiring when they appreciate it. It can be seen that not everyone can achieve the five realms of calligraphy, which requires at least years of unremitting efforts.
