The origin of calligraphy:
Calligraphy is an artistic expression of the unique beauty of words in China and neighboring countries and regions deeply influenced by China culture. Including China calligraphy, Mongolian calligraphy, Arabic calligraphy and English calligraphy. His China Calligraphy is a unique traditional Chinese character art in China.
China's calligraphy art began in the generation stage of Chinese characters. "Voice can't spread in different places, but stay in different times, so words were born. Writer, so it is the trace of Italian sound. " (The Book of Lin Zao, edited by Ma Zonghuo) As a result, words were produced. The earliest works of calligraphy art are not words, but some descriptive symbols-hieroglyphics or picture words.
Symbols depicting Chinese characters first appeared on pottery. The primitive depiction symbol only represents a rough concept of chaos and has no exact meaning.
More than 8,000 years ago, magnetic mountain culture and Peiligang cultures appeared in the Yellow River Basin. There are many characters-like symbols on the handmade ceramics unearthed in Pei Ligang, which are the chaotic combination of the communication function, note-taking function and pattern decoration function of our ancestors. Although these are not recognizable Chinese characters, they are indeed the embryonic forms of Chinese characters.
Immediately after the Banpo site of Yangshao culture about 6000 years ago, some painted pottery with similar characters were unearthed. These symbols are distinguished from patterns, which promotes the development of Chinese characters. This can be said to be the origin of China characters.
