Writing and calligraphy are two different concepts. Writing refers to the act of expressing words or symbols on paper or other media with a pen or other tools. It is a common activity in daily life and work. Calligraphy is an art form. On the basis of writing, through careful design and creation of strokes, layout and form, words have high aesthetic value and artistic value in art.
The main difference between writing and calligraphy is the difference in purpose and expression. Writing is to express the meaning and information of words and symbols, focusing on the accuracy and clarity of words; Calligraphy, on the other hand, expresses the aesthetic feeling and artistic value of words, focusing on the rhythm of strokes and the aesthetic feeling of layout. It can be seen that calligraphy is a highly artistic creation, which requires higher aesthetics and skills.
It should be noted that although writing and calligraphy are different concepts, they are also interrelated. Writing is the foundation of calligraphy, and calligraphy is an art form developed on the basis of writing. Everyone needs to master basic strokes and skills, as well as good writing habits and gestures. Therefore, in the process of learning calligraphy, it is also necessary to pay attention to the practice and mastery of writing basics in order to improve the level and quality of calligraphy.
Compared with calligraphy, writing is very practical and does not involve artistic language. It only requires Chinese characters to be clearly written and standardized, so that people can understand them. Writing at this level is a skill. As long as everyone is patient, diligent in writing and keeps practicing, everyone can write good words.
Calligraphy is to raise words to the artistic category. In addition to writing clearly and regularly, you should also write beautifully. The lines of calligraphy should be expressive enough. It is necessary to understand both brushwork, ink painting and structure, as well as composition and artistic conception. It can express rich emotions, show colorful artistic styles and give people a beautiful enjoyment. This is calligraphy, extensive and profound, and it is a rich and colorful art world.
Chinese characters are the root of calligraphy and the product of human history and social development. People are a relatively large unit, and they are interrelated.
If you want to write Chinese characters well and practice calligraphy well, you must start to study linear texture. Various lines are the artistic language combining Chinese characters. Writing is like painting and music. In order to draw flowers, birds, insects and fish well, we must first study the laws of various element combinations from lines and colors, and then we can discuss the problems of calligraphy. Therefore, they belong to different levels within the formal category.
