Calligraphy and calligraphy are two different concepts. Calligraphy refers to the method of writing with brush, which mainly focuses on the methods of holding the pen, using the pen, stippling, structure, distribution (line times, composition) and so on. If you write, you must point to the palm of your hand and your finger is Qi Li. Please use a pen to ask the center to distribute; Stippling should be complete and thoughtful; The structure should be horizontal and vertical, and the meaning should echo; The distribution should be intricate, the density should be straight, and the whole chapter should be full of gas fields. Mainly talk about the writing methods of Chinese characters, such as Li's Introduction to Calligraphy. Then there is the method of writing articles and poems in Chinese characters into works of art. Calligraphy refers to works with certain artistic achievements in calligraphy, which are symmetrical with famous paintings. There are five kinds of common calligraphy works: regular script, running script, cursive script, official script and seal script. As long as they have high artistic value, they can be copied and copied, and they can all be called "calligraphy books". Although calligraphy and calligraphy are upside down, they have different meanings, one belongs to theory and the other to practice, which complement each other.
Chinese painting has its own system in the world art field, with a long history and fine traditions. Refers to things painted on silk, cloth, silk, paper, silk and so on with pen, ink and color. It was not painted by ordinary people, but by famous painters in history. Although some paintings are not painted by famous artists, they are old and have cultural relics, so they should be preserved and sorted out.
As an art form, calligraphy is not only a tool for taking notes, but also has rich image characteristics. Like a picture, it is expressed by lines, and there is a saying that "painting and calligraphy are of the same origin". Calligraphers create works of various styles by giving full play to the performance and writing skills of writing tools such as brushes, giving people artistic enjoyment and achieving good artistic effects.
Today's calligraphy art has evolved from the ancient calligraphy art, and many calligraphers have inherited the excellent tradition of ancient calligraphy and made innovations. If you want to appreciate the art of calligraphy, you must know something about the style of calligraphy and its origin.
Different from other art forms, calligraphy art is closely related to people's lives. Children should learn to write from the first day of school. Beautiful writing not only facilitates study and life, but also reflects a person's moral cultivation and quality. Therefore, the predecessors had the saying that "words are like people". Calligraphy originates from writing practice and is higher than general practical writing. Exquisite and rich in cultural connotation. It is a typical expression of China culture and even oriental culture. After absorbing the tradition of China's calligraphy art, the Japanese devoted persistent energy to the research and study of calligraphy. In order to improve the world's attention to calligraphy, the Japanese called calligraphy "the way of calligraphy" and printed and published the famous inscriptions of ancient China and Japanese calligraphers. As early as the beginning of this century, a large-scale calligraphy collection "Complete Works of Shu Dao" came out, and many contemporary calligraphers in China still benefit from it. In recent years, all kinds of Copybook for calligraphy, large-scale calligraphy posts, calligraphy reference books, quick copybooks and various calligraphy dictionaries have emerged one after another, providing a lot of convenience for calligraphy lovers.
Since China had his own writing, calligraphy has been valued. At the end of the Han Dynasty, during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, a school of princes and nobles appeared, which focused on art education. Calligraphy and painting became the main learning content, which played an important role in promoting the improvement of calligraphy art. After Sui and Tang Dynasties, subjects were selected, talents were selected and talents were used. The contents of the exam are mainly four items: body (body), character (language expression), calligraphy (judgment) and reasoning. Moreover, most emperors in the Tang Dynasty attached importance to calligraphy, which not only promoted the artistic creation of calligraphy, but also created a good environment for the cultivation and promotion of calligraphy talents. After the Song and Yuan Dynasties, calligraphers came forth in large numbers with many inscriptions. Ordinary people also have the conditions to learn ancient calligraphy. To study and be an official, you must first practice good handwriting. Gradually, "pavilion style" became popular and calligraphy became very popular. But in this period, the practicality of calligraphy exceeded the artistry to a certain extent.
China's painting art is one of the earliest traditional art forms in China. From the information we can see now, as early as the Neolithic Age, there were very expressive paintings. For example, on the painted pottery unearthed in banpo village, Xi 'an, there are fish chasing each other and deer running and jumping, which is not only vivid, but also has a certain artistic conception. This shows that our ancestors of the Chinese nation had a high aesthetic taste and superb artistic creativity as early as the primitive society.
