How to evaluate a calligraphy?

1. Pen: As a unique traditional art, the materialized form of calligraphy is to write lines and form characters with a pen. It is through this materialization that the art of calligraphy has realized the functions of creating artistic conception and expressing feelings.

2. Structure: The brushwork and layout are all important parts of a successful calligraphy, which is the basis of the beauty of calligraphy, but the beauty of strokes alone cannot directly constitute the beauty of calligraphy. If the words are arranged like a pile of firewood, it will inevitably make people see things in a blur. Calligraphy art with Chinese characters as the object of expression appears in the whole character, so the beauty of Chinese characters with strokes as the composition material is extremely important.

3. Composition: it is an important part and means of expression of calligraphy works. Composition, brushwork and structure together constitute the three elements of calligraphy art, which is an important symbol that calligraphy is different from daily writing as an art category.

4. The unity of "form" and "spirit": it is one of the essences of calligraphy art, and form is the birthplace of God. Therefore, in the process of calligraphy creation, the sages of past dynasties paid great attention to the description of form.

5. Rhyme: Use structural changes to express dynamic beauty, try to break the straight and stable posture, or lean forward or lean back, break the straight and stable posture and produce dynamic beauty.
