There is a calligraphy by Pan Shouyu (zi Hongwei), a famous calligrapher and the first person in Qilu Ou Kai script. He said: Calligraphy is a person's dress and appearance, and a symbol of talent and demeanor. Chinese people all hope to write. If you have good calligraphy, your words will be like the person you write, your writing will be about a Chinese country, and your calligraphy will be as beautiful as your own. Calligraphy is the art that best represents the spirit of the Chinese nation. Calligraphy is the skill of cultivating your mind by writing on paper with a brush!
Calligraphy most directly presents the state of life and the state of mind (image), which is the manifestation of peripheral nerves and is the closest to people! Chinese calligraphy is a unique art. "It is not a poem but has the charm of a poem; it is not a painting but has the agility of a painting; it is not a dance but has the elegance of a dance; it is not a song but the melodiousness of a song." (Lu Xun said) "Chinese calligraphy most vividly embodies the essence of Chinese culture. Spirit". (Hegelian) "Calligraphy is the carrier of our national culture." (Liu Bingsen’s words) Chinese calligraphy art not only has a long history, but also has a long history, grandeur and profoundness. Starting from the Yin and Shang Dynasties, it experienced the glory of the Qin and Han Dynasties, the charm of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the peak of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the divine will of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and the prosperity of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is not only a treasure in the cultural heritage of the Chinese nation, but also a wonderful flower in the world's art palace. Calligraphy is an art that is easy to learn but difficult to master. As a traditional art, inheritance is its distinctive feature. It requires that the pen and ink have a source, and the knots have rules. Unlike modern art, where you can "do whatever you want" like modern art. It is true that the established rules sometimes restrict calligraphy to rigidity, but first-class Calligraphers all came out of the Dharma, "dressed in Han and Tang costumes, and danced with the style of the times." Only in this way can one become a true calligrapher who does whatever he wants and does not violate the rules in life.
