Some people write beautifully, but they are not calligraphy. What exactly does calligraphy mean?

Everyone has different ideas, and the level of understanding determines the level of calligraphy. Some people think that good handwriting is calligraphy. In fact, calligraphy and writing on paper are two fundamentally different concepts. Writing emphasizes practicality, and calligraphy is completely artistic. No matter how well the handwriting is written, it is impossible to rise to the level of calligraphy without beautiful thoughts. So what exactly is calligraphy? ?

Cai Yong, a great calligrapher in the Han Dynasty, said in his book "On Nine Potentials" that Fu Shu was created in the original, and naturally it was established, regardless of the Yin and Yang families, life and death are born, and the terrain is out! Oh, what do you mean? The origin of calligraphy is a matter of course. The aesthetic point of a calligraphy backbone is expected. If you have it, you have to compare it. If you mention it, you will naturally have an attitude and beauty.

Of course, Taoism is the dominant concept in China's methodology aesthetics. We know why Yin and Yang are not simple and suspicious in comparison, such as approximate thickness, big and small, proximity, height, density, virtual reality, thickness and positive inclination. These are all related to the changes of yin and yang. In contrast, if there is life and death, it will naturally show up. Step by step, between people, there are men and women, high and low.

And the five fingers that follow us, long and short, thick and thin, the whole face is orderly, and the five fingertips are neat, which is natural, even if it is not controlled by people. Another example is the plants in the macro world. You look at a bush. The branches are tall and short, the leaves are withered and glorious, the trees are sparse and dense, far and near from our departure, the leaves are oblique, the trees are thick and thin, and so on. There is a comparison between yin and yang. After yin and yang, the landform came out. Even if the modality of the word is born and died, the modality of the word goes out, and the word looks good and beautiful! ?

Calligraphy is a mixture of skill and Taoism, in which skill refers to secrets and Taoism refers to China's traditional knowledge. Calligraphy often yearns for the combination of rigidity and softness, and the combination of hand and four suburbs just embodies the yin and yang aspects of Tao, which is a process of mutual development and harmony. In calligraphy, it is necessary to carry out harmony, even if it is so moderate, so that calligraphy has immanence. We scholars should not only strive to achieve the current excellent skills, but also have a deeper understanding of knowledge, constantly improve our cultural accomplishment and debate level, and express our thoughts and feelings through calligraphy. ?
