The Academic Value of China's Pictographic Ceremony

The name of the ceremony was inscribed by Ouyang Zhongshi, a famous calligrapher in China. The title page was inscribed by Mr. Liao, the wife of the late artist Xu Beihong. The preface was written by Mr. Xu Jialu, the former vice chairman of the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) and a famous ancient philologist. This 850-page book covers Oracle Bone Inscriptions's ancient prose, seal script, silk script and official script in Xia, Shang, Zhou, Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, as well as the corresponding bamboo slips, silk scripts and official scripts before the Western Han Dynasty. In addition to publishing a large number of brand-new academic viewpoints for the first time, the etymology and meaning of each hieroglyph are explained with a map imitating the effect of China stone relief. The most precious thing is that the author drew thousands of pictographs in his first book Pictographic Calligraphy. Only this "grand ceremony" has the function of a complete "pictographic album". This kind of expression has created a comprehensive art form in which textbooks, copybooks and paintings are integrated. Naturally, there is an academic value of a book in hand, which can comprehensively comment on the multiple artistic effects such as exegesis, calligraphy, painting and stone carving. To sum up, there are three points:

The first is to carry forward the traditional culture of Greater China, so that mysterious words that only a few scholars can see in the research room or university classroom in the past can be clearly displayed in front of Chinese people. In this way, all China people can understand the precious cultural heritage handed down by their ancestors. Understand the origin of Chinese characters from the source. A deep understanding of the meaning of Chinese characters will help China people to further understand the wisdom and superb modeling ability of our ancestors. Thereby inspiring reverence for national culture and higher patriotic enthusiasm. Enhance national cohesion. Better use Chinese characters to serve the great cause of rejuvenating the country.

2. Dadian has many new views on the understanding and interpretation of ancient Chinese characters, especially breaking through the omissions and misjudgments caused by feudal scholars' shyness to touch the original ecological concept of ancient Chinese characters. It opens an air entrance for the future study of the font and meaning of ancient Chinese characters. Its academic value cannot be underestimated.

Thirdly, it is also to improve the artistry of hieroglyphics, that is, through the "pictographic painting and calligraphy" created by Mr. Xiong, a new creative mode has been found for the traditional painting and calligraphy that has remained unchanged for thousands of years. In particular, it changed the "black and white" of calligraphy art and entered the "color world" with the times. Confirmed the theory of painting and calligraphy homology. At the same time, it also laid a good foundation for the derivation of "arts and crafts"

A few days after the publication of The Grand Ceremony, Li Ruihuan, Tang Jiaxuan, Li Jianguo, Dai Bingguo and other leading comrades saw the book and spoke highly of it.

At present, all parties concerned are actively studying the operation of sending "grand ceremonies" to more than 0/00 Confucius Institutes around the world. We firmly believe that the bright cultural pearl of Chinese characters will play a more dazzling role in China and even the whole world!
