Kim Jong-hye's Korean Calligraphy

The most famous calligrapher in the Korean era was Kim Jong-hye, a realist. Jin Zhenghui is an outstanding calligrapher and scholar. He established a style called "Autumn History School". His calligraphy was born out of China's official script, but its layout is full of painting feeling, and he is good at seeing harmony in asymmetry, and his brushwork is extremely powerful, which makes his words full of vitality. Because of these talents, he finally created his own vivid and powerful style. In Korea, learning calligraphy is considered to be a necessary process for cultivated people to cultivate their sentiments. The practical function of calligraphy as a means of writing or transmitting information is often not as important as the philosophical significance contained in writing quality. In South Korea, as in China and Japan, calligraphy is regarded as an elegant art, and calligraphers are respected by people. Although Korean calligraphy organizations don't have a complete system like China's, Korean calligraphy folk organizations are very popular and have frequent activities. The Korea Haidong Research Association, which hosted the author's visit to Korea, is an excellent non-governmental organization. Haidong Calligraphy Research Association was established in August 197 1, with over 200 large-scale calligraphy activities and numerous international calligraphy exchanges, which is really commendable for a non-governmental organization. Mr. Jin Dongyuan, the president, is an outstanding calligrapher with great influence in Korean calligraphy. Mr. Jin advocates tradition and attaches importance to foundation. His handwriting is sometimes close to seal script, sometimes close to official script, or consider the choice between the two. It can be said that he has a strange change, is personable, and does whatever he wants without overstepping the bounds.
