Why are arts interlinked?

Lyricism is the basic artistic feature of dance and calligraphy. Dance uses stage space to create images and form different timelines, thus presenting different dance styles; Calligraphy, on the other hand, shapes images on plane rice paper, forming different time movement lines, thus presenting different calligraphy styles. Moving lines are one of the expressive means of lyricism in dance and calligraphy. If dance is the beautification of human body movements and postures, then calligraphy is the beautification of its stippling and postures, one through the human body and the other through Chinese characters, all roads lead to the same goal, * * * not only expresses thoughts and feelings, but also embodies the beauty of life. Modeling is one of the two expressions of lyricism in dance and calligraphy. The dancer's dancing on the stage is like the pen and ink dancing in the calligrapher's hand. Dancers and calligraphers, through the internal and external movements of human mind and body, show various emotional fluctuations in dancing and flying pen and ink, thus expressing different emotions and bringing viewers into the aesthetic realm. Dance and calligraphy belong to visual arts and performing arts. The performance of dance is the ultimate goal of art exhibition, which will disappear with the performance, while the performance of calligraphy is only a process, and the ultimate goal is to show calligraphy works and will not disappear. The process of calligrapher's performance (that is, creation) is as wonderful and beautiful as dance. Plato, an ancient Greek philosopher, once said that dance is the art of speaking with gestures. Although this argument is not very accurate, it shows that action is a unique means of expression in dance. Dance is the movement of human body to form artistic language. Some recognized hand, foot and head gestures in dance all come from a balanced moment in the process of action, which is the same as the specific stippling of calligraphy such as horizontal, vertical, left, press, lift and fold. Mr Wang Chaowen thinks that there is a "formal connection" between China's calligraphy stippling and the movements of classical dance. He said: "There are many things about this connection. For example, the characteristics of the word' one' in the use of pens-the wishful thinking (S lying on one side) and the process of dancing-are close to the process of thinking about right first and then left. " In particular, the modeling changes and movement transfer of running script and cursive script have more similarities with dance. Zhang Xu, a famous calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, wrote four ancient poems in cursive script, which was magnificent, whirlwind, the change of Xia Yun's coming out of the cave and his trip in a circle, which immediately reminded people of Du Fu's "Watching the Sword Dance". She started like a thunderbolt, vented her anger, and ended like a shining calm in the river and sea. "Legend has it that Zhang Xu's cursive script was inspired by the momentum and rhythm of Gong Sundaniang's sword dance, as well as its rich and magnificent charm. Since then, cursive script has grown and become a well-known story. Today, Gong Sundaniang's sword dance has long been lost, but we can see her graceful dance from Zhang Xu's cursive script. Rhythm and prosody are the basic elements of dance and calligraphy. When dancing, the actor's whole body must keep moving, in order to show the rhythm and rhythm, and maintain the coherence and harmony between the movements. This requires all fixed balanced postures to change with the changes of the actors' movements, just like all fixed writing methods and stippling forms in calligraphy creation, they must change in various ways according to the situation of up and down, left and right, and the length and height. Dancers' flowing steps, if described by ink lines, must be exactly the same as cursive lines with clear rhythm and continuity. If different rhythms form different dance rhythms and styles and express different feelings and thoughts, then different rhythms will also form different calligraphy flowing beauty and calligraphy styles and express different emotions and aesthetic characteristics. Roger fry, an Englishman, said, "The first thing that attracts people's attention in China's art is the rhythm of lines, in which lines play a leading role. We noticed that the rhythm of this line always has the characteristics of flow and continuity, which is really a curve of hand-painted dance. " Although China's calligraphy art and dance are two artistic categories, their aesthetic attributes are the same. In 1980s, some calligraphers and dancers at home and abroad tried to combine calligraphy with dance. The dancers' dance movements matched the ever-changing calligraphy works on the background of the curtain, and arranged the "Ink Dance" repertoire, which was performed in the United States and China and won certain praise. The dynamic of dance art exists in the performance process, while the flowing expression of calligraphy art is solidified in lines, as Zheng Songxian said: "Dance is dynamic calligraphy; Calligraphy is a beautiful and affectionate dance. " In fact, anything that can be called art is more or less related to the art of calligraphy. Some are obvious, others are vague. In addition to painting, music and dance, there are also seal cutting, architecture, opera, literature, sculpture, military affairs and chess, which are quite reasonable with the art of calligraphy. If all arts in the West are the trend towards music, then in China, all arts are inextricably linked with calligraphy. They have differences and similarities; They are interrelated and influenced, and they promote and learn from each other in the connection and influence. Calligraphy is the highest form of art in China, and it is not an exaggeration for Mr. Xiong Bingming to call it "art in art".
