At present, due to the limitation of archaeological materials, the beginning of China's calligraphy history can only be counted from the earliest existing systematic writing-Oracle Bone Inscriptions. Because of the application of characters, calligraphy art is closely related to culture, and it always develops with the change of culture; At the same time, it is gradually forming its own specific laws.
From Oracle Bone Inscriptions, Shi Guwen and Jinwen (Zhong Dingwen) to Da Zhuan, Xiao Zhuan and Li Shu, and then to the cursive script, regular script and running script in the Eastern Han Dynasty and Wei and Jin Dynasties, calligraphy has always exuded artistic charm. It is a unique visual art, which was produced and developed in China culture. Chinese characters are an important factor in China's calligraphy and one of the basic elements of China culture.
Cultural characteristics of calligraphy
Calligraphy not only emphasizes artistic skills and aesthetic feeling, but also emphasizes the accumulation of humanistic feelings and history and culture. The creation of calligraphy works must have a profound cultural background and a profound emotional foundation. For example, Yan Zhenqing's "Inscription of Many Pagodas" is an excellent work that condenses historical inheritance and cultural accumulation.
Its font modeling and structural features are not only the art of font and calligraphy skills, but also the epitome of ancient culture and history in China. By watching calligraphy works, we can have a deeper understanding of the inheritance and development of China culture, and appreciate the humanistic feelings and feelings contained in the art of calligraphy.
