From ancient times to the present, the charm of calligraphy is completely inseparable from Taoist thought. The so-called Tao and nature is a core concept of China's artistic aesthetics. We can simply understand Yin and Yang as a comparative relationship, such as thickness, size, distance, height, density, virtual reality, thickness, positive inclination and so on. These are the contrast relations formed by Yin and Yang, and with Yin and Yang, it can come naturally. For example, between people, there are men and women, tall and short, fat and thin, white and white. Another example is our five fingers, which are long and short, thick and thin. They are not uniform faces, nor uniform five fingers. This is nature, not controlled by human beings.
To write calligraphy well, we must understand the skills and Tao in calligraphy. In calligraphy, technique and Tao are two aspects, in which technique refers to technique and Tao refers to the traditional culture of China. Calligraphy often requires the combination of rigidity and softness, the combination of reality and reality, and the combination of Fiona Fang, which precisely embodies the two aspects of Tao, and is a process of combination. In calligraphy, it is the connotation of calligraphy to realize the golden mean, that is, the beauty of neutralization. We scholars should not only strive to achieve excellent skills, but also have a deeper understanding of culture, constantly improve our cultural literacy and theoretical level, and express our thoughts and feelings through calligraphy.
Moreover, calligraphy and Chinese characters are inseparable. Chinese characters are composed of different strokes. How to combine strokes to make them beautiful and produce artistic skills of structure. Structures are also called knots, knots or frames. The structure of calligraphy often makes appropriate artistic arrangements according to the structural rules of characters and the aesthetic taste of authors. These artistic laws are density, truth, proximity, symmetry, harmony, convergence and divergence, echo and so on.
Therefore, just writing beautiful words can't be called calligraphy. Because calligraphy can be called calligraphy because of its charm and the expression of the author's inner thoughts between the lines.
