Basic introduction
Italian calligraphy is based on the content, structure and layout of writing, what kind of strokes, styles and styles are used to write what kind of content, which determines the form and highlights the connotation and ideological significance of calligraphy. At the same time, the artistic creation techniques such as "poetry, painting, dance and song" and emotional brushwork elements are integrated to shape the image of calligraphy, so that the beauty of form and content can be unified, and the image, thought and emotion can be integrated.
Create background
In the 5,000-year development of Chinese characters in China, Oracle Bone Inscriptions, official script, regular script, running script, cursive script and other calligraphy styles have appeared successively, forming a bold, vigorous, elegant, subtle, natural and quiet style. But unfortunately, calligraphy always stays on the basis of writing. One stroke can write anything, which leads to the contradiction and deviation of the content and style of the book, such as writing flower-and-bird poems with rough strokes and writing rigorous and solemn words with crazy and urgent strokes. Writing and calligraphy are inseparable, and calligraphy works lack connotation and artistic charm. In the past hundred years, calligraphy has not changed much, with Europe, Yan, Liu and Zhao as the crux, and the evaluation standard is "the pen has its origin". Calligraphy strokes, layout, evaluation, etc. They all follow the past and remain unchanged, resulting in the embarrassing situation that the current calligraphy level is not as good as that of the Tang Dynasty, the cursive script is not as good as that of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the official seal is not as good as that of the Qin and Han Dynasties. Although there are endless innovations in calligraphy in recent decades, they all float on the level of formalism, lacking the height and depth of art. China's calligraphy urgently needs qualitative change and breakthrough, and meaningful calligraphy emerges as the times require. It has changed the 5,000-year-old formalism traditional calligraphy creation thought, and the beauty of form and content is unified. China's calligraphy has risen from the traditional formalism to the unity of content and form, and has become a meaningful calligraphy art model in contemporary China.
Research significance
The founder of Meaning Calligraphy began to study the unity of formal beauty and content beauty in the 1990s. Mr. Zheng Zhiming believes that art is a creative act of spiritual culture, and it is the externalization and expression of the author's understanding, attitude and rational understanding of social things through selection, processing and integration. The general writing of Chinese characters is far from reaching this level. One of the aesthetic characteristics of art is the integration of formal beauty and content beauty. Music has done it, painting has done it, and dancing has done it, but calligraphy lags far behind other arts and has not yet done it. In the inertia of calligraphy that people are accustomed to and turn a blind eye to, Mr. Zheng Zhiming spied the deepest problem of China's calligraphy-the style and style of calligraphy is not the goal of the development of calligraphy art, but the ladder of the integration of formal beauty and content beauty, which is the destination of China's calligraphy. He has written articles such as "On the Necessity of the Integration of Form and Content in Calligraphy" and "The Integration of Form and Content is the Inevitable Trend of Calligraphy Development in China", and held the first national exhibition of the integration of form and content in Haining, Zhejiang Province for the first time-a calligraphy art exhibition with a clear sense of governance. Standing at the forefront of China's calligraphy, he first proposed the integration and unification of formal beauty and content beauty of calligraphy, founded meaningful calligraphy, and vigorously advocated and disseminated the creative thought of the integration and unification of formal beauty and content beauty of calligraphy. This pioneering work fills the historical blank of the unification of the formal beauty and the content beauty of China's calligraphy, and opens a new era of great significance for China's calligraphy, which has important practical significance and far-reaching historical significance.
