China's calligraphy is the aesthetic representation of China culture. As an important part of China culture, it presents the spiritual world of China's aesthetic personality and occupies an important position in the world cultural history with its long history of maverick. In the long history, the glorious course of calligraphy art not only embodies the aesthetic feeling given by the senses.
The logical movement of calligraphy thinking has produced many artistic philosophies, which are often called calligraphy aesthetics. There is an old saying in China: In a word, there are dry Kun, but in fact, it is more deeds than words. Kant said that "lines are more beautiful than colors" is an incisive summary.
The main factors affecting calligraphy appreciation are:
1, connoisseur's own vision is not wide, and calligraphy theory's knowledge is solid.
2. Whether the appreciator writes well by himself or not, and whether he has certain attainments in calligraphy creation.
3. Does the appreciator have a certain understanding of the writer's temperament, knowledge and grasp of the content and creative connotation of the work?
4. Whether the writer's own attainments are high, and whether he has considerable theoretical knowledge and writing skills in calligraphy creation.
Line is the medium or element of writing and the concrete materialized form of calligraphy art creation. It can be seen that lines are the origin of calligraphy beauty. Therefore, the research and exploration of the beauty of calligraphy should also start with the most basic element of line.
In Archaean, people were in a state of ignorance and didn't know the function and function of lines. With the deepening of social practice and the development of productive forces, human beings have realized the role and function of lines in practice and used them to describe objects.
As a result, books and paintings came into being, and this kind of painting became the materialized form of painting and calligraphy-lines, which are the most fundamental elements of the visual image of objects and the most powerful and concise means to express things. Chinese characters originated from hieroglyphics, and lines are used to simulate the authenticity of objects, which has great generality.
The beauty of calligraphy comes down to the beauty of structure, momentum and layout. The "structure" here refers to the beauty of font structure and line display, and the "momentum" refers to the beauty of font consistency and composition change. Layout refers to the aesthetic feeling of the whole work, such as reasonable content selection and arrangement, inscription and seal.
