What does chess calligraphy and painting mean? Please tell me the meaning and allusions of each word. Thank you.

Now it is often used to express a person's cultural accomplishment.

guqin

Guqin, also known as lyre, Qin Yu and lyre, is one of the oldest plucked instruments in China. Guqin has been popular since Confucius' time and has a history of at least 3000 years. At the beginning of this century, it was called "Guqin". The creators of Qin include Fuxi Playing the Piano, Shennong Playing the Piano, Shun Playing the Banjo and Singing the South Wind, etc. As a legend, you may not believe it, but you can see that Qin has a long history in China. "My Fair Lady, Friends of Rabbit and Rabbit" is recorded in The Book of Songs Guanluo, and "Rabbit and Rabbit beat drums to rule Tianzu" is also recorded in The Book of Songs Xiaoya.

Chess refers to Go, and chess refers to chess. Ban Gu's Book of Changes records that he is knowledgeable in the world and is good at chess alone. Mencius Gao Zi Zhang Sentence said: Today, the number of Fu Sai is decimal. You can't do it if you don't concentrate. Qiu Yi is the best athlete in this country. Let Qiu Yi teach two people to play chess, one to concentrate on playing chess, and Qiu Yi listens; Although a person listened, he thought that the swan was coming, and tried to pay for the bow and shoot it to death. Although he learns from others, he is willing to do so. Because of its wisdom, it is not natural. Weiqi is a strategic chess game for two people, which uses a chessboard and black and white pieces to play the game. Weiqi originated in ancient China. It is speculated that the origin time is about the 6th century BC. Legend has it that Yao's son is stubborn, and Yao Faming learned Weiqi to educate and cultivate his temperament. The earliest reliable records of Go can be found in Zuozhuan in the Spring and Autumn Period. Qiu Yi in the Warring States Period was the first chess player found in history books. "chess" refers to go, which was called "chess" in ancient times. Playing Go is called "playing chess" and "playing chess". The chess pieces are divided into black and white, and the rules are simple and endless, which embodies the distinct essence of China's cultural thought. The documents in the Spring and Autumn Period recorded the primitive culture of the Chinese nation. However, chess appeared late, and the setting of chess pieces was complicated, unlike the primitive culture of China. Weiqi is profound and mysterious, beyond the wisdom of human beings. As a culture left by God, many emperors, generals, literati and ordinary people have enjoyed its clothes throughout the ages, and have also deduced many legendary stories, beautiful poems, and even the algorithm of military writing and the strategy of governing the country, which has become a wonderful flower in the history of Chinese civilization.

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 book, their writing rules are not completely different from those of brush, but they are basically the same. Based on tracing the source (after Oracle bone inscriptions), this paper focuses on the law of writing Chinese characters with a brush. As long as we have a "narrow" understanding of calligraphy, it will be of great benefit to understand "broad" calligraphy.

Calligraphy in a narrow sense refers to the methods and laws of writing Chinese characters with a brush. Including writing, calligraphy, stippling, structure, layout (distribution, lines, composition) and so on. For example, the pen refers to the palm and the five fingers are Qi Li; The pen carrying center is unfolded; Stippling is the same as a pen; The structure is shaped by words and echoes each other; The distribution is intricate, the density is appropriate, and the virtual and the real are born together, and the whole chapter is full of gas fields; Every word is ancient for literacy, and every word is big and small, and high is not as good as low.

"Book" refers to calligraphy. In the early days of Chinese civilization, there were Oracle Bone Inscriptions and inscriptions on bronzes. In the pre-Qin period, it was mainly carved on bamboo slips with a knife, with characters such as seal script and lower case. After the Han Dynasty, brush writing was the main writing style, including official script, regular script, running script, cursive script, song style and other writing forms.

Chinese painting, also known as Chinese painting, is a traditional form of painting in China. It mainly uses brush, soft pen or finger to paint on silk or rice paper with the color and pen and ink of Chinese painting.

China's painting, parting strokes and freehand brushwork are two forms of expression. Fine brushwork is neat and meticulous, drawing layer by layer, and the details are clear and nuanced. It is necessary to describe objects with extremely delicate brushstrokes. Freehand brushwork depicts the shape and spirit of an object with concise and unrestrained pen and ink, and expresses the author's feelings. Freehand brushwork painting uses generalization, exaggeration and rich association in the object of expression. Although the pen is simple, it has far-reaching artistic conception and certain expressive force. It is necessary to have high generalization ability, implicit artistic conception that less wins more, accurate pen use, skillful and handy pen handling. These two styles of painting have existed since the Tang Dynasty. Some people are in between. They are engaged in writing. For example, in a painting, loose lines are freehand brushwork, pavilions and pavilions are meticulous brushwork, so that when the two are combined, the skills of using pen, ink and color can be exerted.
