First; Different from other countries' pinyin, Chinese characters in China belong to hieroglyphics, which is one of the oldest characters in the world. It first appeared in the Neolithic Age. Is it recorded as people's lives? Pictographic by class? Simple symbol of. With the progress of human civilization and the development of society, Chinese characters have gradually evolved into the characters we use now. In this long evolution and development process, although with the continuous reform of characters, the pictographic nature of early Chinese characters has gradually been replaced by descriptive nature, and pictographic nature has become more abstract and symbolic, but its development and evolution has never been separated from pictographic and referential ways.
Second; Chinese characters are composed of three elements: shape, pronunciation and meaning, so it always has a visual artistic conception; It's different from abroad. Its basic strokes still reflect the posture and shape characteristics of different natural objects. Chinese characters are composed of sound, meaning, borrowing, annotation and other methods, with complex structure and modeling. In addition, calligraphers of all ages have painstakingly pursued the accuracy of stippling, the beauty of structure, the diversity of calligraphy style and the originality of style, which made Chinese characters derive pleasing artistry in addition to practicality.
Third; Apart from China's unique artistic prototype of Chinese characters, it is also inseparable from his unique writing tools and scientific writing techniques. Soft and elastic brush is a unique writing tool in China. It is different from oil painting pen and oil painting pen in western painting. The oil painting pen is flat. China's brush is a cone, with the longest brush in the middle. The most upright and healthful brush is called the central column, and then it is added layer by layer on both sides, which is called a pair of clothes. The central column and the auxiliary shawl form a cone, so its elasticity is different. The betting methods of strokes and ink in different directions show different lines. Although the brush in English is the same as the brush in oil painting, its expressive force is actually very different. Such a special tool supports the potential artistic modeling of China's calligraphy that we originally owned.
Third; And a set of scientific pen-using methods summarized by calligraphers in China in past dynasties have gradually matured the writing techniques of Chinese characters; From the way of carving, painting and writing ancient characters in Shang and Zhou Dynasties to the smooth and even lines in Qin Zhuan. From Han Li's changeable thickness and distinct Fiona Fang, it has evolved into endless and colorful lines, such as the thick and thin lines of letters, lines and cursive strokes, which are slow, smooth and contrary to the square, hidden, exposed, dry and moist. The uniqueness of these lines is unmatched by any other country's art form.
To sum up; China's calligraphy is full of artistic appeal, which makes people happy and exciting; It is unique, which is why some people in China think that only China has calligraphy.
