Do you know how China's calligraphy developed step by step?

You can learn something from Lv Zhiqiang's A Brief History of Calligraphy Development in China. This book tells the history of ancient calligraphy, which is not only rich in content, but also has a unique charm that touches people's hearts on the spiritual level.

China's calligraphy has a profound cultural accumulation of more than 3,000 years. Throughout the ages, the literati in Shashu, Ganges River, have devoted themselves to the pursuit of the beauty of calligraphy, leaving us with countless masterpieces, endless anecdotes about calligraphy and profound theoretical thinking-the "root" of calligraphy. It is like a big tree with a well-developed root system, with deep roots and luxuriant leaves and fruitful results; It is like a lamp full of fat and grease, with strong flame and radiant light; Supported by rich culture, he is more like a gentle and kind-hearted gentleman. Calligraphy, as a part of ancient people's daily cultural life, naturally grows with traditional culture. Just like Zhuangzi's jade bone Ice Muscle, graceful and self-adaptive ancient fairy, it has absorbed the cultural feelings that everyone in China can't give up.

China's calligraphy takes Chinese characters as the carrier to express people's spiritual world, which is the premise of calligraphy and provides a broad stage for the full display of its charm. On the other hand, calligraphy has a far-reaching influence on the development of Chinese characters, which has effectively promoted the evolution of Chinese characters. The appearance of characters has always been regarded as an important symbol of human stepping into civilized society. Writing plays a key role in recording and inheriting knowledge and ideas, and is an important link to maintain the unity of the Chinese nation. As an important carrier of culture and civilization, Chinese characters have rich and profound cultural connotations and excellent artistic quality. The internal relationship between Chinese characters and nature and the gradual addition of humanistic temperament make the Chinese character complex rooted in the spirit of the Chinese nation and become the cornerstone of building the whole national thinking mode and collective unconsciousness.

Since the new period, calligraphy has suddenly warmed up in China. The long-suppressed cultural complex germinates again under the diversified cultural background, which makes calligraphy glow with infinite vitality.
