The homology of calligraphy and painting is a calligraphy and painting term in China. China's paintings are closely related to China's calligraphy, and their emergence and development complement each other. Calligraphy and painting are consistent in origin, origin and origin, and they are born from the same root. In the history of painting, the so-called "He Tu Luo Shu" of pre-Qin philosophers is the basis of the homology of painting and calligraphy.
Zhang Yanyuan's "History of Famous Paintings, Narrating the Origin of Paintings" in the Tang Dynasty said: "You have four eyes, you look up and you bow your head. Because the traces of birds and turtles determine the shape of the characters, it is naturally impossible to hide its secrets, so it rained heavily; Ghosts can't hide from shapes, so ghosts cry at night. At the right time, calligraphy and painting are the same, without division, just like the beginning of the elephant system. There is no way to convey its meaning, so there are books; There is no way to see its shape, so there are paintings. "
This is the earliest theory of painting and calligraphy homology. Paintings are often painted in calligraphy, and they all pay attention to the tempering of charm. Books and paintings are homogeneous but different. Nature is not only the foundation of artists' ingenuity and the source of creation, but also the carrier of spirit. The word "source" of calligraphy and painting is not only the original source.
It also means that calligraphy and painting have the same regularity in the form of expression, especially in the use of pen and ink. The use of calligraphy is the language of Chinese painting modeling. Without the help of calligraphy, it is difficult to say Chinese painting, so Chinese painting itself has a strong interest in calligraphy. The lines of Chinese painting and Mo Yun reveal the beauty of abstraction and its independent aesthetic value everywhere.
Extended data:
China's paintings and calligraphy are different from those in western countries. However, China's traditional calligraphy and painting have many similarities. Even writing Chinese characters is exactly the same as drawing Chinese paintings and using pens. China people's writing is exactly the same as the "Four Treasures of the Study" of painting. Scholars often dance first and then write, naturally bringing the brush of calligraphy into painting.
Paintings painted on pottery 67,000 years ago in the Neolithic Age, such as fish, frogs, deer, birds, flowers, leaves and dances, are the earliest paintings in China. The earliest hieroglyphics were small pictures drawn with lines, which later evolved into Chinese characters in use today. It is precisely because both painting and writing use the same tools, mainly lines, that there is a saying that "painting and calligraphy are of the same origin"
