What are the calligraphy systems?

China's calligraphy has two systems, one is brush calligraphy and the other is hard pen calligraphy. Originally "calligraphy" means brush calligraphy. In the 1980s, the upsurge of hard-pen calligraphy rose in China, involving all walks of life and spreading all over the country, just like literature fever and singing and dancing fever.

Hard-pen calligraphy is not as "magnificent and splendid" as brush calligraphy, but it has the same roots as brush calligraphy and has a solid social foundation and strong vitality. After several generations of research and exploration, learning from nature and deliberately innovating, a set of relatively systematic and complete theories has been gradually formed, forming an independent artistic system.

Basic meaning

On the surface, calligraphy refers to the statutes of writing. In life, the word calligraphy has the following meanings: first, it is synonymous with a written work or the floorboard of all written works; Second, an art category generally refers to the art of writing Chinese characters. Kang Youwei said in Guang Yi and Zhou Shuang: "Tang Yan is a structure, and Song and Shang Yi Qu", from which we can see that calligraphy in the Tang Dynasty pursued the highest and most rigorous statutes, and its calligraphy achievements were also the highest in the history of calligraphy.

Calligraphy is a unique traditional art in China. Chinese characters in China were created by working people and began to be recorded by pictures. After thousands of years of development, it has evolved into today's writing. Because our ancestors invented the brush, calligraphy came into being. Throughout the ages, Chinese characters were mainly written with a brush. As for other writing forms, such as hard pen and finger calligraphy, their writing rules are basically the same, but they are not completely different from China's calligraphy.
