Calligraphy and China Culture
Calligraphy has two meanings for China. The first meaning is to treat as art, but the origin of this meaning is relatively late, and the second meaning is as a manifestation of China culture. Therefore, compared with many art categories, calligraphy is more closely related to culture. China is the only country that still uses the oldest script. At the beginning of the birth of China characters, it was the ancestors' cognition and record of the living environment. When Chinese characters are not regarded as a special art, they have the characteristics of integration of form, sound and meaning. One of them? Shape? It's styling. The stroke structure and spatial relationship in Chinese characters naturally produce a kind of aesthetic feeling of the picture, called? There is no color, but there is the brilliance of the picture? . At the same time, after a word is shaped by the addition of strokes, it can also seek the beauty of harmony, which is also called? No sound except music and harmony? Therefore, before Chinese characters became a special art, they had the inherent aesthetic characteristics of both music and pictures.
The development process of calligraphy is consistent with that of Chinese characters. Lishu is a watershed of ancient and modern characters, and its brushwork plays a connecting role. Therefore, practicing calligraphy from official script is a convenient starting point, which conforms to the objective development law. Regular script is the last mature of all characters. Its initial stage is also very early, and it began to have the interest of regular script in the official script stage, but it was not until the Tang Dynasty that it finally had a complete and rigorous standard of regular script.
China's calligraphy has a history of more than 1000 years and has high artistic attainments. The supporting point of calligraphy art, that is to say, its elements and characteristics are mainly statutes, realms and emotions. A good calligraphy work must have strict statutes, lofty realm and true and complete emotions. A principle of China's calligraphy aesthetics is consistent with the traditional Confucian doctrine of the mean, which requires courtesy, but cannot be achieved or surpassed.
Harmony is an eternal principle in China's calligraphy, which is very consistent with the core concept of Confucian culture "the golden mean". This kind of harmony is multi-level, multi-meaning, multi-angle and multi-means harmony. As Sun, a calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, said: Beginners learn distribution, but seek fairness, know fairness and seek danger, which can avoid danger and return to fairness. ?
