I. Introduction to Qinling Mountains
Qinling Mountains are divided into narrow Qinling Mountains and broad Qinling Mountains. In a narrow sense, Qinling Mountain is limited to the mountain range between Weihe River and Hanjiang River in the south of Shaanxi Province, bordering Bahe River and Danjiang River Valley in the east and Jialing River in the west. The Qinling Mountains in a broad sense, starting from Kunlun in the west, passing through Longnan and Southern Shaanxi, and reaching Dabie Mountain and Zhangbaling near Bengbu in the east, are the watershed of the Yangtze River and Yellow River basins.
Qinling Mountain is not only the boundary mountain between north and south of China, but also the boundary line between north and south in geography, climate and resources. Different climate, different soil and water, different social habits such as diet, architecture and transportation have evolved into different social customs over time.
Because the temperature, climate and topography in the north and south of Qinling Mountain show different changes, the Qinling-Huaihe River line has become the most important geographical dividing line between north and south in China. In winter, the Qinling Mountains block the cold wave from entering the south.
In summer, the humid sea breeze is blocked from entering the northern region. The Qinling Mountains and Huaihe River basins are the transitional areas between rainy in the south and drought in the north. From the vicinity of Huaihe River in Qinling Mountains to the north, the rainfall decreased sharply.
Qinling Mountain is regarded as the Long Mai of Chinese civilization. The main peak of Taibai Mountain is 377 1.2 meters above sea level, located in Baoji City, Shaanxi Province. Qinling Mountain is the boundary mountain between Guanzhong Plain and southern Shaanxi Province.
Second, a brief introduction to calligraphy
Calligraphy is an artistic expression of the unique beauty of words in China and neighboring countries and regions deeply influenced by China culture. Including China calligraphy, Mongolian calligraphy, Arabic calligraphy and English calligraphy. His China Calligraphy is a unique traditional Chinese character art in China.
Geological characteristics and calligraphy aesthetics
I. Geological characteristics
The northern slope of Qinling Mountains is a huge fault. Qinling Mountain rises along the fault, and Weihe Valley falls along the fault. Standing on the plain of Xi 'an, overlooking the Qinling Mountains, the mountains are neatly arranged from west to east, with cliffs and towering protrusions, which has become an important geographical dividing line between the north and the south of China.
The Qinling Mountains suddenly stopped at Nanyang in the west of Henan Province, and then appeared eastward at the junction of Hubei, Henan and Anhui provinces, namely Tongbai Mountain and Dabie Mountain. These mountains are only about 1000- 1500 meters above sea level, slightly northwest-southeast.
To the north of Guangji, Hubei Province, the trend is slightly southwest-northeast, and the mountain is low, generally a low hill with an altitude of about 200-300 meters, such as Zhangbaling. These hills, together with Tongbai Mountain and Dabie Mountain, form an arc mountain range protruding to the south. Because they are all south of Huaihe River, it has always been called Zhunyang Mountain Range.
Second, the aesthetics of calligraphy
The basic shape of Chinese characters is square, but through the expansion and contraction of stippling and the torsion of axis, various moving shapes can also be formed, thus combining into beautiful calligraphy works. The form of the knot is mainly influenced by two factors: one is the need to express the interest of calligraphy; The second is the formal factors of calligraphy performance.
As far as the latter is concerned, it is mainly reflected in three aspects: first, the influence of calligraphy, such as the vertical rectangle of seal script; Second, the influence of glyphs, some of which are oblate and some are rectangular; The third is the influence of composition. Therefore, only under the control of the above two factors can we create a beautiful structure by creating a positive attitude.
