The inheritance and development of China's calligraphy in the contemporary perspective, also known as "China's calligraphy", is mainly divided into "soft-pen calligraphy" and "hard-pen calligraphy", which is a unique traditional art and culture in China. In a narrow sense, calligraphy refers to the methods and rules of writing Chinese characters with a brush, including writing, strokes, stippling, structure and layout (distribution). Calligraphy refers to the writing rules of language symbols. When Chinese civilization was still in its infancy, the art of calligraphy, as a budding state, was born in the cradle of Chinese mother. In the early stage of the evolution of civilization, ancient China was transformed from the ignorance of tying ropes to the cultural civilization of Cangji's word-making, which was rooted in the amazing wisdom and spiritual roots of calligraphy art. Cang Xie's "absorbing all kinds of beauty and combining them into words", Cangji had a unique eye to take advantage of nature. This is called "hieroglyphics according to categories", and Shuo Wen Jie Zi sums up the ancient Chinese word-making methods into six kinds, which are called "Six Books". That is, pictographs, indicating things, knowing things, pictographs, transferring notes, borrowing words, pictographs reproduce nature like pictures, record nature and transmit natural information. This pictographic beauty is the bud and spiritual root of the beauty of Chinese calligraphy art and a great creation of the beauty of ancestors' calligraphy. How to pass it on? To inherit the excellent tradition of calligraphy art, we must first inherit the innovative spirit and achievements of the sages, which are the crystallization of the wisdom of the sages' calligraphy art. It is biased, abnormal and undesirable to copy the traditional "traditional aestheticism" or "pop" that is divorced from the excellent tradition. The development law and innovative achievements of calligraphy art explored by the sages are the soul of traditional calligraphy. Without innovation, there is no tradition. Excellent tradition is the crystallization of innovation, and innovation is the development of tradition. Only by deeply understanding the development law of traditional calligraphy art can we feel that innovation is the essence of revealing the enduring development law of traditional calligraphy art. Calligraphy art has been popular for thousands of years and has a deep root in adapting to social development and meeting social needs. Therefore, in the contemporary perspective, it is necessary to innovate in order to develop calligraphy. Calligraphy art needs innovation. It is necessary to have a good understanding of the relationship between tradition and innovation, grasp the pulse of the times, and strengthen the combination of inside and outside the book by exploring the font and changing the pen. It must be emphasized that we should put an end to the "skill" treatment of doodling blindly, and do not deliberately draw words to pursue simplicity. Words are written, not "made". If you can't even write basic regular script well, you can only innovate. It can only be an ink block that stimulates people's vision. Innovation only needs to show their own temperament frankly. For example, Li Bai said, "Clear water produces hibiscus, and it is natural to carve it." This is the real "return to simplicity". To promote calligraphy art, we must respect history, keep up with the times, learn from the past and learn from nature. Which ancient person has never been a modern person? Which modern man will not eventually become an ancient man? The profound calligraphy art has eternal vitality, which lies in its endless "source and long flow". Calligraphy is an art with strong vitality. Nowadays and in the future, high-tech technology is developing rapidly, computers are widely used, and office automation can't replace calligraphy in the end. Only people can show the calligraphy art incisively and vividly. It is an inevitable trend for the development of calligraphy art in the 21st century that pen and ink should keep pace with the times and various schools compete for novelty and beauty. It is a period of economic and cultural exchanges and development between the East and the West, and the innovation and reform of calligraphy art should conform to the characteristics and aesthetic pursuit of the new historical trend. However, the breakthrough and innovation of China's calligraphy is very difficult, and it takes a long and gradual process. Don't rush for success, be impetuous, and be unconventional at will, otherwise it will be counterproductive. Learning calligraphy is wonderful, and calligraphers must have high-level and inferior literature. Scientific practice, the basis of ideas, and more importantly, the test of practical pursuit. Adhere to the personality style of "natural interest" and "true meaning", and oppose the utilitarianism of aesthetic function. Pay special attention to personality, temperament and literature, and the dharma of calligraphy. Calligraphy emphasizes the beauty of form and quality, and books value people, making calligraphy innovative and creative more lyrical. Only in this way can contemporary calligraphy continue to progress and develop.

Calligraphy has a lasting vitality
"Calligraphy is a flowing art, and the most valuable part of it is the emotion that the writer pours into it. Although computer plays a significant role in social development, it can never replace human emotions. From this perspective, calligraphy, as an art sublimated from practical tools, cannot be replaced by computer words. " Ouyang Zhongshi, a famous calligrapher in China and a professor at Capital Normal University, said.
China's calligraphy art has not only the aesthetic feeling of lines that abstract art has, but also its unique connotation and implication show more artistic value. "Basically, Chinese people have a * * evaluation of the pros and cons of calligraphy." Zhao Shufan, a professor at the School of Humanities, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, believes that "the reason why calligraphy is full of vitality is that it organically integrates life and art."
"Many people think that there is a crisis in the inheritance of calligraphy, mainly because the younger generation of calligraphy lovers have not reached the height of the older generation of calligraphers." Shi Baping, an online game designer, believes that calligraphy requires not only skillful skills, but also cultural accumulation. Therefore, it is easy to be a calligrapher, but difficult to be a master.
as a form of competition, calligraphy only rose in the late 197s. Ceng Laide, executive director of the Calligraphy Creation Research Institute of the National Academy of Painting, said: "Although there are many drawbacks in various forms of calligraphy competitions, they are of positive significance to the development of contemporary calligraphy. However, calligraphy education must start from traditional classics, not just for exhibitions and competitions. "
Establishment of Calligraphy Education System
With the promotion of many calligraphy educators such as Ouyang Zhongshi, Capital Normal University took the lead in establishing a complete calligraphy education system in China from junior college to undergraduate to master's degree, doctoral degree and postdoctoral degree, and established the China Calligraphy Culture Research Institute. When talking about the calligraphy education system, Ouyang Zhongshi emphasized: "Cultural connotation is the most important thing in the education of high-end talents in the calligraphy field. The center of calligraphy education is not skill, but calligraphy cultivation and the spread of calligraphy culture. The writing style should reflect the spirit of the times. "
Qiu Zhenzhong, a professor at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, said: "The goal of the education system is to train a group of senior professionals engaged in calligraphy academic research and calligraphy creation."
Calligraphy majors are roughly divided into normal classes and art classes. The importance of normal calligraphy lies not only in calligraphy itself, but also in the fact that educators are teachers, which directly affects students' understanding of Chinese character culture. The original intention of this major emphasizes standardization. However, the art calligraphy major must adhere to the road of calligraphy artistry, emphasize individualized development, and rise to the height of culture.
Calligraphy culture is still inherited
Zhao Shufan pointed out that the shortcomings of traditional calligraphy education are long periodicity and poor science. Therefore, the scientific research of calligraphy education is an urgent task, and we should not rely solely on copying copybooks to learn, but should seek scientific methods, establish a scientific education system, and find the proportional relationship between their parts by studying the aesthetic laws of Chinese characters, so as to make calligraphy education scientific, regular and systematic, and greatly shorten the time limit of calligraphy education. Only by solving the problem of learning calligraphy for too long can we open a new window of calligraphy inheritance.
Qiu Zhenzhong believes that the calligraphy culture in the new era will receive continuous attention. In recent 1 years, the concern and yearning for national culture shown by the whole society is beneficial to the development of traditional culture, especially calligraphy culture. Some young calligraphers have also begun to explore calligraphy in the new era. These non-traditional works are mainly "ink and wash line art" under the influence of western modern art. This popular trend is a concrete manifestation of the cultural compatibility of Chinese characters.
In addition to school education and traditional modes of communication, there are many brand-new cultural phenomena in the development of today's calligraphy culture, such as "alternative calligraphy", "flipping calligraphy" and "Martian writing". Ouyang Zhongshi said: "We should respect everyone's thinking and learn from others' strengths. History will naturally retain the essence. " In addition, the "Chinese style" works that highlight traditional culture in popular culture are increasingly accepted by the public.
