Calligraphy characteristics of Chinese characters

China's calligraphy is an art about the expression of Chinese characters. First of all, it is a square character. Its stippling makes the rotating and shelving structure form a unique calligraphy style, so the first thing is the form. Then, China's calligraphy emphasized from the beginning that "a book can only be called a book if there are icons in both vertical and horizontal directions". The icons mentioned here include both natural images and calligraphy images created by people. From seal script to official script, to cursive script and regular script in the late Han and Wei Dynasties, the image of calligraphy gradually became independent and full. Traditional calligraphy theory always compared the image of calligraphy with that of nature. So, what is behind this image of nature? It is the god of nature and the response of the writer's spirit, which forms the unique aesthetic tendency and picturesque writing characteristics of China's calligraphy. This unique aesthetic tendency of emphasizing the god of nature and the writer's spirit is to form a national spiritual atmosphere; To put it mildly is the writer's spiritual atmosphere. Therefore, the second most important thing in China's calligraphy is image. Because of the vertical and horizontal images of the characters themselves, the spiritual image of the writer and the spiritual atmosphere of the nation are brought out. Then, the performance of writing this kind of soft pen reveals the temperament and feelings of the writer, which can achieve the function of communicating between man and nature and activate the intention of life. When you reach a high level, you forget your heart, your hand, your pen and your book, and the harmony between man and nature. This realm is the real return of calligraphy. Therefore, people in China regard calligraphy as a way to cultivate self-cultivation. Therefore, calligraphy is such a stable thing, such a high thing, which we call the realm. Therefore, calligraphy is first related to form, then to image, and the highest realm is related to environment, so as to reach a high realm, forget the environment and live environment.
