Calligraphy is the essence of China traditional culture, with simple form and rich connotation. It controls the complexity with simplicity, and the simplicity contains infinite richness, which fully embodies China's traditional philosophical thought "One, Two, Three Things", which typically represents the characteristics of oriental culture and highlights the thinking form of orientals. Those calligraphy works, which are alternating in shades, criss-crossing and filled with cigarettes, are simply a true portrayal of life's fate. In the creator's mind, it is a black and white, relaxed and lingering life track. Open the window of the soul and walk into different styles of calligraphy. You can not only appreciate the author's pursuit of interest, but also hear the cry of fate.
The ancients said: the heart is right and the word is right. Thus, the ancients have long pointed out the connection between calligraphy and being a man. As the saying goes, "a word is like a human being", its style is high, its character is bold and unconstrained, its character is refined, its character is elegant and neat, its character is bookish, and its character is regal, such as Mao Zedong's calligraphy: romantic and unrestrained, unconstrained and unconstrained (take Huai Su, Zhang Xu, etc. ); Commander Zhu's calligraphy: generous, open and imposing (from Huang Tingjian); Premier Zhou's calligraphy: vigorous, implicit, restrained, heavy, elegant, containing but not revealing (from Yan Zhenqing); Dong's calligraphy: literary, elegant, clumsy and flat (from); Guo Moruo's calligraphy: charming, free and easy, simple (from Fahan tablet). I won't mention them one by one. Accordingly, calligraphy basically conforms to the author's personality. Doesn't it prove that "calligraphy is like a person"? Calligraphy is the exposure of people's mood, temperament and personality, so there is graphology to infer and test people's temperament, personality and psychology from handwriting. Character is character, which is a unique character that other arts do not have.
When the Chinese character culture or China culture comes back to life, the world pays attention to the East again, and when the whole world looks to China again, China calligraphy will undoubtedly become the most beautiful stroke in the Oriental culture. For this reason, if calligraphy is confined to the scope of art today, it is caused by the narrow cultural vision. It should be said that the new life of calligraphy in China in the new century lies in the cultural foundation of calligraphy. It is the richness of oriental culture that makes calligraphy meaningful in form and becomes a "meaningful form" to reassert its cultural rights.
