5,000 years of splendid Chinese civilization and unparalleled wealth of written records have been recognized by the world. In this vast and profound historical river, China's painting and calligraphy art reappears the diachronic evolution process with its unique artistic form and artistic language. The sister nature of painting art once again complements and independently interprets the traditional culture of China in the historical evolution. Just like the tools and materials used in books and paintings. When talking about the origin of ancient characters and pictures, The Records of Paintings in Local Records said: "Yes, calligraphy and painting are the same as each other, and they are similar to each other, but they are still slightly creative and unable to understand each other, so they are books; No set is reflected in its shape, so it is art. " Although painting is homologous and comparable, the following development state is based on independent and complementary development and change. The formation and development of China's calligraphy art is closely related to the creation and evolution of Chinese characters. So what does "calligraphy" mean? We can understand it from its essence, aesthetic characteristics, the source of unique expression methods and so on. China's calligraphy is an abstract symbolic art with four-dimensional characteristics based on brush writing, which embodies the basic law of "unity of opposites" of everything, and embodies the spirit, temperament, knowledge and cultivation of people as the main body.
Chinese characters originated from an aesthetic development stage of written characters very early —— integrating the creator's ideas, thinking and spirit, and stimulating the aesthetic feelings of aesthetic objects (that is, the formation of calligraphy in the true sense). Although the examiners were at the turn of the Han and Wei Dynasties (from the second half of the 2nd century to the 4th century), they did not ignore, dilute or even deny the historical position of the existence and artistic value of calligraphy. This marks the beginning of China's writing, and he began to create works in early times, without exception, with its particularity and times. In calligraphy, although there are earlier characters such as Oracle Bone Inscriptions and hieroglyphics, the number of strokes of the same word is different in different situations. However, there are already symmetrical and balanced rules and a pen (knife), which form some regular factors in the word, the rule. Moreover, in the organization of lines, the change of the beginning and end of strokes has already had the brushwork meaning of pen and ink. Therefore, it can be said that the calligraphy art of the previous generation not only belongs to the category of calligraphy history, but also is an important example that can be used for reference and thought in the evolution and development of later art forms.
The history of China's civilization is a diachronic and linear process, and China's calligraphy art shows its own development outline under such a big background. In the embryonic period of calligraphy (from Shang Dynasty to Han Dynasty), Chinese characters went through the stages of Oracle Bone Inscriptions, regular script (gold), seal script (), seal script, official script (VIII), cursive script, running script and real script, and evolved in turn. In the uncertain period of calligraphy (Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to Sui and Tang Dynasties), the art of calligraphy entered a new realm. Cao Hangshu, from seal script to simplicity, became the mainstream style in this period. The appearance of the great calligrapher Wang Xizhi shines with the light of calligraphy art, and his highly respected artistic achievements spread to the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, calligraphers in the Tang Dynasty soared, such as Yu Shinan, Ou Yangxun, Zhu Keliang, Yan Zhenqing, Liu Gongquan and other great painters. They have their own strengths and diverse styles in calligraphy attainments. After the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, China's calligraphy, as a national symbol, represents the profoundness of China culture and the eternal charm of national culture.
My speech is over, thank you.
