1. Philosophy in Calligraphy Learning calligraphy can improve people's spiritual cultivation, which has a lot to do with the golden mean contained in calligraphy. Everyone knows that it was a theory put forward by Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period, that is, people keep a peaceful mind. Black in calligraphy and white in paper also have different meanings, and the mutual echo of the two colors reflects a kind of harmony. The golden mean is the core culture of our human life, and calligraphy shows this core culture incisively and vividly. In calligraphy, the fonts are correct and beautiful, and the strokes are arranged in order, which makes the words look more beautiful and harmonious. This is the philosophy in calligraphy.
Second, the philosophy in Chinese painting Chinese painting pays attention to the unity and opposition of things, and the change of pen and ink is consistent with Laozi's Taoist philosophy. The emptiness in Chinese painting corresponds to the nothingness in Tao, but actually corresponds to the existence in Tao. There are countless changes between ink and wash, thus forming a magnificent beauty. Chinese painting is a realistic description of natural scenery by China literati. This scholar is the subject of Chinese painting, and the scenery he painted is the object. I am drawing an object, and the object is observing me, which is very similar to Zhuang Zhou's philosophical thought of butterfly dreams.
Third, the historical significance of calligraphy and Chinese painting Calligraphy and Chinese painting are of great significance in our traditional culture and have a strong tolerance in the long river of historical development. Until the contemporary society, there are still many people who are eager for calligraphy and Chinese painting. This is because calligraphy and Chinese painting contain profound philosophical truth, which makes people full of quiet and far-reaching spiritual realm.
