Brief introduction of a hollow character

We can find a lot about the development and origin of hollow characters on the Internet. In the long history of more than 5,000 years in China, this unique art form of hollow calligraphy can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty. Not much to say here.

Throughout ancient and modern calligraphers, after writing the word "double hook", also known as hollow font, they usually fill in more ink to look like it. However, there are only a few forms to create calligraphy directly with the "double hook" method. This is a kind of "marginal" calligraphy art different from traditional calligraphy, and it is the inevitable product of the development of modern calligraphy art today. The scientific nature of art is the naturalness of art.

Even we sometimes find that the artistic form of "a hollow character" is no longer the traditional calligraphy art, but in the process of "painting" rather than writing. Authors can create and innovate according to their own understanding of art forms. When the author finishes his work, his artistic appreciation value is self-evident. Of course, each author's understanding, style and style are different, but there is no absolute good or bad, depending on how the viewer appreciates it.

Now there are many hollow calligraphers besides several well-known hollow calligraphers in China, and their accomplishments can not be ignored. Most of them come from all walks of life, even from all ethnic groups, just because they like this art, and among them, there are many excellent "folk hollow characters masters".
