The beauty of Chinese characters lies in multiple dimensions

Multi-dimensional means multiple aspects. Chinese characters have beautiful sounds and shapes. ①Chinese characters are one of the most beautiful characters in the world. Today, we might as well explore the beauty of Chinese characters from a geometric perspective. ② Geometry studies space. Space has dimensions. The more dimensions, the greater the degree of freedom. The dimensions are more abstract. To illustrate, an example is given: the snake in the cave is limited by the cave wall and can only move forward and backward. Its space has only one dimension. In addition to moving forward and backward, the original galloping horse can also turn left and right. Its space is two-dimensional. In addition to forwards and backwards, turning left and right, birds in the air can also soar upwards and glide downwards. As the saying goes: "The sky is high and the birds can fly." Birds are freer than anyone else because the three-dimensional space has the greatest degree of freedom. ③The degrees of freedom come from multi-dimensional space. There are six types of Chinese characters: pictograms, meanings, meanings, pictographs, annotations, and borrowings. Hieroglyphics are transformed from graphics and are naturally two-dimensional. Most of the other five books also contain pictographic parts, such as pictophonetic characters, which are half pictographic and half onomatopoeic, and are not two-dimensional enough to accommodate them. Furthermore, Chinese characters are composed of horizontal, vertical, dot, stroke, and stroke strokes. It is like putting together a jigsaw puzzle on the table. You must have two-dimensional freedom to create ever-changing beautiful patterns. It can be seen that Chinese characters are essentially two-dimensional, just like galloping horses on the plains, which lays a solid foundation for the beauty of Chinese characters. ④Chinese calligraphy breaks through the two-dimensional limitations of Chinese characters and is unique, deducing the multi-dimensional beauty of Chinese characters. ⑤Chinese calligraphy pays attention to structure. The structure is similar to the composition of a painting. It must have at least a lot of freedom provided by two-dimensional space. Only then can the glyphs be considered a structure, and only then can they reflect the characteristics of seal script, official script, and regular script, and only then can the different styles of each family be fully expressed. ⑥Chinese calligraphy pays attention to the hanging wrist. Only when the calligrapher's wrist is suspended in the air can he move his arm as he pleases to direct the calligraphy, giving full play to the maximum degree of freedom in the three-dimensional space. ⑦Chinese calligraphy pays attention to brushwork. This is largely due to its unique tool, the brush pen is the most amazing of them all. Pens also have degrees of freedom: ballpoint pens have only one degree of freedom. The bifurcation of the nibs of quills and fountain pens can be slightly stretched in width, with a degree of freedom between one and two. The writing brush is composed of thousands of vellus hairs. Each vellus hair can be bent to different degrees. Its degree of freedom is more than a thousand. Precisely because the brush has so much freedom, calligraphers can use it freely and write thousands of characters with one pen. Respecting the brush as the king of all brushes, who would say otherwise? The many degrees of freedom of the brush can increase the dimension of calligraphy when properly used. The amount of ink stored in the brush, the strength of the strokes, the direction of the strokes, and the wonderful use of the brush all depend on one mind. Calligraphy styles such as Yan and Liu can produce a visual three-dimensional effect, which is three-dimensional. Don’t believe it? The most powerful words of praise are: The power of writing penetrates the back of the paper. If there is no third dimension perpendicular to the two-dimensional paper, where can it be penetrated? ⑧ It is true that horizontal writing based on pinyin letters also has its advantages: it is easy to learn the pronunciation of the words, the letters are easy to input into the computer, and it is compatible with mathematical formulas, etc. But in terms of aesthetics, Chinese characters are unparalleled, and calligraphy has become a well-known art that is both elegant and popular. In contrast, in the West, has anyone seen plaques, couplets, banners and fans written in pinyin letters? 9. The beauty of Chinese characters lies in multiple dimensions!
