Chyi Chin's calligraphy and painting refers to the four ancient artistic relics or skills that originated from ancient Qin, Qi, calligraphy and painting. In ancient times, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting were essential skills for literati to cultivate their self-cultivation and were often used to express their cultural accomplishment.
The ancients said that people who are good at playing the piano are easy to understand, and those who are good at playing chess have strategies. Those who are good at books are affectionate, and those who are good at painting are perfect. In ancient times, playing the piano (mostly refers to playing the guqin), playing chess (mostly refers to China's chess and Go), calligraphy and painting were the skills that literati (including some aristocratic families) had to master for self-cultivation, so they were collectively referred to as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, that is, "four friends of literati". Chyi Chin's calligraphy and painting is not only an elegant daily necessities, but also an intuitive embodiment of personal cultural accomplishment.
Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are the four talents that ancient China literati admired and must master, because playing chess with Qin and being good at poetry and painting have always been the elegant images that gifted scholars yearn for and appreciate most. I am hiding in my piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. People are getting closer and closer to the noise, and my heart is getting farther and farther away from the world of mortals.
