1, calligraphy and writing have different purposes.
The purpose of writing is to express the information carried by the written content, while calligraphy is to express the aesthetic feeling of Chinese characters, and writing tends to be practical. But calligraphy focuses on the pursuit of artistic beauty, and writing Chinese characters is the need of life and work, but calligraphy is the creation and inheritance of culture, bearing the spiritual level of mankind.
2. Different standards
The purpose of writing is to convey information. There is only one requirement: the written words are legible, easy to understand and identify, and can accurately convey information. As for the good-looking words, it doesn't matter. Calligraphy is different, and there are very strict criteria for judging. From writing to writing, it has its own complete system, and the core is "brushwork". How to write Chinese characters more vividly and beautifully has its own unique form, which is the beauty of brushwork.
3. Different spatial formats
Practical writing does not pay attention to the size of space, as long as there is enough space to write the content to be expressed. Except for some special established typesetting formats, people can know at a glance what level of document this content is and what it is used for. There are no special requirements. But calligraphy is not. Calligraphy has its specific artistic form.
Art of calligraphy
Calligraphy takes Chinese characters as modeling objects, but there are great differences between them. Compared with calligraphy, writing is more practical and generally does not involve artistic language. As long as the words are written clearly and correctly and can be recognized, this level of writing is a skill. If you are writing calligraphy, the lines you write should be expressive enough to make the written Chinese characters not only beautiful, but also enjoyable. At this level, the writing of Chinese characters has become the art of calligraphy.
