Interpretation of stroke order-the inherent requirement of calligraphy
What is the stroke order? Strictly speaking, it is the writing order of strokes. As we all know, Chinese characters are different from other languages in the world. Chinese characters are block image characters with ideographic system. As we all know, English and other Latin alphabets are phonetic systems, which determines that the stroke order of Chinese characters is unique to Chinese characters and not available in other languages.
There is no problem in the writing order of Latin letters in the ideographic system, so Chinese characters are different, and the block-like characters in the ideographic system need stroke order.
Moreover, in the process of using Chinese characters for more than 5,000 years, profound changes have taken place not only in language meaning, usage and pronunciation, but also in writing.
First of all, the evolution of stroke structure, from complex to simple, directly promoted the change of Chinese characters in font form. The development of Oracle Bone Inscriptions, Dazhuan, Xiaozhuan, Lishu, running script, regular script and cursive script not only reflects the evolution law in the past, but also highlights the complex process of Chinese character evolution. This is a change in words.
Secondly, it is a profound change in language meaning, usage and pronunciation. From notional morphemes to functional morphemes, from expressing realistic and objective things to expressing human subjective imagination, the scope and scenes of Chinese characters are constantly changing, which directly promotes the development of Chinese characters.
In this development process, many rules and usages have been formed, for example, a grammatical system has been formed in the use of meaning; In the process of writing, he formed his own aesthetic paradigm-calligraphy; In the actual language environment, a series of fixed collocations and idioms have been formed.
Then, the position of stroke order in this system is a part of calligraphy, the aesthetic paradigm of Chinese character writing. In calligraphy, the order of strokes is meaningful. If there is no calligraphy, or the requirements for calligraphy are very low, then the pen will become dispensable by the way.
