What does the red dot in calligraphy mean?

The red dot in China's traditional calligraphy is the most difficult soul hidden in calligraphy and painting. It is not only the strength of lines, but also the essence of ink color, and it is also the emotional embodiment of calligraphers. In China's aesthetics, the red dot is regarded as a penetrating formal language, which can represent the deepest spiritual feelings in the world.

In a word, the red dot, as a manifestation of calligraphy art, has considerable expressive force and creativity. It combines various techniques such as font, brushwork and ink painting, showing the calligrapher's profound artistic accomplishment and cultural heritage. In the calligrapher's pen, the red dot solves the dullness and mediocrity of the works, endows the works with delicate feelings and unique expressions, and becomes an indispensable part of China's calligraphy art.
