A brief history of China's calligraphy;
Origin:
China's writing originated very early, and it developed the writing of writing into an aesthetic stage-it integrated the creator's ideas, thinking and spirit, and it can stimulate the aesthetic feeling of the aesthetic object (that is, the formation of a real sense of calligraphy).
Records can be traced from the end of Han Dynasty to Wei and Jin Dynasties (about the second half of the 2nd century to the 4th century). However, this is not to ignore, dilute or even deny the artistic value and historical position of the previous calligraphy art form. The origin of China's characters and the appearance of early works with artistic characteristics have their particularity and times.
As far as calligraphy is concerned, although there were pictographic characters-Oracle Bone Inscriptions in the early characters, the complexity and simplicity of the same character were different, and the strokes were also different. However, there is a law of symmetrical balance, and there are also some regular factors such as pen (knife), word knot and composition. Moreover, in the organization of lines, the beginning and end of strokes change, showing the meaning of calligraphy and strokes.
Therefore, it can be said that the emergence and existence of the previous generation of calligraphy art not only belongs to the category of calligraphy history, but also is an important example for future generations to learn from and think about in the development and evolution of art forms.
Evolution process:
China's historical civilization is a diachronic and linear process, and China's calligraphy art shows its development under such a background.
In the embryonic period of calligraphy (from Yin Shang Dynasty to the late Han Dynasty), writing experienced the evolution of Oracle Bone Inscriptions, ancient prose (bronze inscriptions), Da Zhuan (bronze inscriptions), Xiao Zhuan, Li Shu (eight points), cursive script, running script and original works.
In the heyday of calligraphy (Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to Sui and Tang Dynasties), the art of calligraphy entered a new realm. From seal script to simple cursive script and real calligraphy, it became the mainstream style in this period.
