1. Essay about calligraphy and traditional culture in 800 fonts
I love calligraphy because it is a unique art of China and a long-lasting wonder in Chinese traditional culture. The initial oracle bone inscriptions and stone drum inscriptions developed to seal script, and then to cursive script, running script, and regular script in the future. In this vast river, many great calligraphers emerged who are admired by future generations, including Wang Xizhi, Wang Xianzhi, Liu Gongquan, and Yan Zhenqing. etc.
I envied these calligraphers very much, so I decided to practice calligraphy. I started learning calligraphy when I was seven years old. In the course of more than a year of learning, not only did my handwriting improve a lot, but I also learned a lot of truths.
Practicing calligraphy is not an easy task. You must study hard and persevere, so that you can practice calligraphy well. I also understand that good calligraphy can also reflect the sense of cooperation and team spirit.
If one stroke of a word is not in place, the structure of the entire word will be affected. After a year and a half of practice, my handwriting has gotten better and better. Compared with the beginning, I am really "a completely different person."
I go to my teacher's house to practice writing after school every day. After hard study, my calligraphy has made great progress. I won a bronze medal in the 9th World Peace Calligraphy Exhibition and successfully passed Level 5 in the summer exam.
Thinking about the sufferings I suffered in the past and the gains I have gained now, I feel very happy. There is no bitterness within the bitterness, and then there is the sweetness. I really agree with this sentence. . I think that writing good calligraphy is to carry forward the cultural traditions of the motherland and cultivate a greater love for the culture of the motherland from an early age. 2. A 1500-word essay on the art of calligraphy
Chinese calligraphy is an ancient art, which has developed along with the development of Chinese civilization.
There are only a handful of nations in the world that possess the art of calligraphy. Chinese calligraphy has a long history.
As an artistic creation, calligraphy has profound mysteries. From oracle bone inscriptions and bronze inscriptions, it evolved into large seal script, small seal script, and official script. In the Eastern Han, Wei, and Jin dynasties, cursive script, regular script, running script, and other styles were basically finalized. Calligraphy always exudes the charm of ancient art. Beloved by generations of people.
Calligraphy is done on pure white paper, relying on the flexibility of the brush movement and the richness of ink to leave stains and form meaningful black and white compositions on the paper. Therefore, calligraphy is It constitutes an art; a calligrapher’s pen is an extension of his fingers. The rapidity, slowness, flying and frustration of the pen are all subjectively driven and become the outlet for his emotions and emotions. Therefore, calligraphy is also an expressive art; Calligraphy can quietly reflect the calligrapher's personal life feelings, knowledge, cultivation, personality, etc. through his works. Therefore, there are often sayings that "the words are like the person" and "the calligraphy is the painting of the heart"; calligraphy can also be used for inscriptions, Writing plaques, therefore, is also a practical art. In short, calligraphy is a more comprehensive art and is more inclined to express the subjective spirit. Calligraphy embodies the basic characteristics of Chinese art in a relatively concentrated manner. Just as architecture and sculpture lead other categories of plastic arts in Western art, calligraphy and painting lead other categories of Chinese art, ranking first in Chinese art. When calligraphy and painting are mentioned together, calligraphy is placed in front of painting and is called "calligraphy and painting", such as "calligraphy and painting have the same origin", "qinqi calligraphy and painting", "calligraphy and painting fate", "can calligraphy and painting", etc. . The relationship between calligraphy and traditional Chinese painting is very close. Especially after the emergence of literati paintings in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the brush used in painting came from calligraphy, and the freehand brushwork of ink and wash was similar to the cursive style of calligraphy. Ancient Chinese sculptures also contain the characteristics of calligraphy. The texture of ancient Chinese sculptures is the combination of lines, and the decorative nature of the shapes maintains an intrinsic connection with the seal script in calligraphy. Ancient Chinese architecture follows the rules of symmetry, balance, and master-slave relationship from the layout to the beam and column structure of the main body. The implicit and borrowed scenery in garden architecture, as well as the ethereal and flying pursuit of pavilions, terraces, buildings, and pavilions are all related to calligraphy. Its structure, composition, rhythm and charm are closely related. As for arts and crafts and folk art, they are also influenced by calligraphy to varying degrees. Calligraphy can be regarded as the soul of Chinese art.
Chinese calligraphy has a long history, and art is always young. In each era, the social environment is different, people's aesthetic appreciation perspectives are different, and with the development of culture, calligraphy has its own characteristics and is constantly being improved. Browsing the calligraphy of the past dynasties, "Jin people admired Yun, Tang people advocated law, Song people advocated Yi, Yuan and Ming Dynasty advocated attitude" is an incisive summary:
Jin people advocated Yun - the calligraphy of the Jin Dynasty is beautiful, charming and romantic Chic and unrestrained, it reflects the leisurely elegance of the scholar-bureaucrat class and reveals a kind of quiet beauty.
The people of the Tang Dynasty admired the law - the calligraphy of the Tang Dynasty was rigorous and majestic, showing the strong national power and the courage to pioneer the spirit of the heyday of feudalism. It has the beauty of strength.
Song Dynasty Shang Yi-Song Dynasty calligraphy was full of ups and downs, calm and joyful. It was precisely in the situation of "the country was in trouble but the literary fortune was not declining" that the literati were dissatisfied with the reality of individual calligraphy and used calligraphy to express their ideas. , express a state of mind.
Since the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, China's feudal society has stagnated and declined. This is reflected in calligraphy, which advocates imitation of ancient times and is mediocre.
As for the frenzy of "anti-conventional" calligraphy in the late Ming Dynasty, and the rise of advocating stone tablets and inscriptions in the late Qing Dynasty, it is like the magma rushing underground, the flashing lightning or flint in the night, refraction It is a sign of great changes in society. It is true that "the picture is hidden in the dark, and the thought lasts for thousands of years."
Tracing the footsteps of the development of calligraphy over three thousand years, we can clearly see that it is in sync with the development of Chinese society and strongly reflects the spiritual outlook of each era. Chinese calligraphy is an artistic treasure that our nation can always be proud of. It has a deep mass base and the characteristics of high art that are unmatched by any art in the world. The art of calligraphy has gradually become popular among the masses and is becoming more and more popular. 3. Write an 800-word essay with your favorite cursive script as the title
Calligraphy is a culture passed down by our predecessors. There are many famous calligraphers, such as Wang Xizhi, Yan Zhenqing, Liu Gongquan, Mi Fu, etc. In our lives, there are also many calligraphy, such as couplets, banners, inscriptions, etc. I like calligraphy very much, so I joined the school’s calligraphy interest group and followed the calligraphy teacher to explore the world of soft-pen calligraphy.
Where does the sound of "Take the peak, return to the peak" come from? It's our school's calligraphy interest group, gearing up to practice. When I walked in and took a quick look, I saw many banners. Of course, these were student works from previous exercises. To be honest, I really envy them, I envy every word they wrote, such as "aspirational", "push and luxuriant", etc. That kind of writing style refreshed my spirit, and I secretly said in my heart: I must Like them. That's how I felt when I first joined. Why did I choose calligraphy? It's because I learned about the style of those calligraphers from the book, and I deeply admire them. Let’s take a look at their arduous journey to success with me.
Mi Fu is a famous calligrapher. When he was a child, he liked calligraphy and practiced it seriously, but his handwriting was not decent. Even his husband said: "You can't do it, you should go home and farm!" After listening to this, Mi Fu returned home and thought, I don't believe it. . He continued to practice, but the effect was still not good, and Mi Fu began to feel discouraged. One day, Mi Fu was distressed and punched a big tree at the entrance of the village. At this time, a scholar came. He was on his way to take the exam. He got lost and walked into their village. The scholar asked him what was wrong. Mi Fu said absently, I can't write well, but I just want to write, well, what should I do? The scholar said, I can help you. Mi Fu was overjoyed and asked quickly: "How to write?" Xiucai said: "I will give you a piece of paper and you can use it to write. However, it is very expensive, costing five taels of silver." Mi Fu listened and wrote a piece of paper. It can be written on paper, right? But let’s give it a try. When he returned home, he asked his mother for some money and gave it to the scholar. The scholar said, "I want to go out for a while and I will check at noon." Mi Fu began to analyze it in detail. At noon, the scholar came back and asked, "Where is it written? Mi Fu said, I haven't written it yet. "Let's write one," the scholar said. Mi Fu took up his pen and wrote the word "Yong", and he was amazing. It was so well written that the scholar guided him for a few more days before leaving. Before leaving, he left a small cloth bag and told Mi Fu that he was looking at it before he left. After he left, Mi Fu opened it and saw that it was the five taels of silver. Mi Fu was as happy as the rising sun.
Later, he practiced diligently and finally became a famous calligrapher. "Where there is a will, there is a way." "Calligraphy is a rigorous subject. I must, like calligraphers, inherit the calligraphy culture and carry forward the essence of our excellent culture.
4. Write a 500-word essay on the topic of "Traditional Culture"
Traditional Culture in Life Our China is one of the four ancient civilizations. It has a long history and rich culture. In the five thousand years Years of history have left us a huge treasure house, which contains many "treasures". There are exquisite folk crafts, such as paper-cutting, ceramics, etc.; there are ancient folk arts, such as drama, traditional Chinese painting, etc.; there are unique Customs and habits, such as making lanterns during the Lantern Festival, etc... However, I have a special liking for the national art Chinese painting. "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" is an ink painting and a famous Chinese painting at home and abroad. It was painted by Zhang Zeduan, a painter in the Northern Song Dynasty. .This painting is very long, 528 centimeters! It is 24.8 centimeters wide. It depicts the lively scenes of Bianliang, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty. "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" has a history of more than 800 years, and it is still safe and sound in the Palace Museum in Beijing! Zhang Zeduan put a lot of effort into painting this painting. There are more than 500 characters in the painting alone, including farmers from the countryside, doctors who travel around the world, boatmen holding boats, and businessmen doing various businesses. , there are vendors setting up stalls, Taoist priests with long beards, officials and scholars... There are three hundred and sixty lines, and people in each line are painted. The street market there is very lively, and there are various hangings on the street. There are all kinds of shops, workshops, restaurants, teahouses...it's very lively inside. Walking on the street, there are people of different shapes coming and going: some riding horses, some driving donkeys, and some Children are flying kites happily, some are carrying burdens, some are pushing wheelbarrows from that time, and some are strolling leisurely on the streets...

Our China truly deserves to be one of the four ancient civilizations! Oh, I forgot, we don’t want to just watch and not carry forward, we must carry forward the things handed down from our motherland! ----------------------- Traditional culture in life From ancient times to the present, we humans still retain a traditional festival. Yes, it is the Spring Festival. During the Spring Festival, everyone We have to post couplets, post the word "Fu", and post "Tie", which means happiness has come to us. During the Spring Festival, we also need to set off firecrackers and eat dumplings. Dumplings mean "Jiaozi" and are the transition from the old year to the new year. The ancients used to wrap a coin in a dumpling. Whoever eats the dumpling first will be blessed in the new year. However, modern people think that coins are too unhygienic, so they wrap them in sugar instead. . There are many traditional cultures in life, such as: setting off firecrackers during the New Year, climbing high on the Double Ninth Festival, etc. Take setting off firecrackers during the New Year as an example. Why do we need to set off firecrackers during the New Year? It turns out that a long, long time ago there was one that needed to be divided. 5. A 500-word essay on the theme of Confucian calligraphy
Chinese calligraphy has become a unique voice among the world's arts and can become a representative of the essence of Chinese culture. In addition to the above objective reasons, the more important thing is , Chinese calligraphy art is closely related to Chinese culture, and is integrated with the spirit of the Chinese nation. The spirit of Chinese culture is the unity of nature and man, and the noble monk. This kind of thought that emphasizes overall harmony affirms the unity of diversity and advocates a broad mind, an inclusive spirit, and inclusiveness, so that society can reach the ideal state of "taihe". The ideal state of calligraphy is also harmony, but this harmony is not a simple balanced division of lines, like the equal arrangement of operators, but through the use of artistic means such as staggering, filling gaps, adjusting light weights, and alternating shades. An overall balance achieved, that is, balance in the sense of "neutral" and "harmony". The reflections between the strokes and the gesture of looking forward not only pay attention to the individual existence, but also take into account other functions. The overall elegance and balance of the composition are achieved by constantly adjusting the left and right shifts of each column to create and rescue dangers. The composition of Huang Tingjian's "Huangzhou Cold Food Poetry Volume and Postscript" is also a successful example in this regard. It can be seen that each stroke, one stroke at a time, restrains each other, feeds each other, and sets off each other; each line, small and large, is staggered, and the male and female are intertwined, exaggerating each other. The value of "harmony is precious" in Chinese culture is neutralized by the art of calligraphy. The beauty is perfectly reflected.
The complementarity of Confucianism and Taoism, and the complementarity of hardness and softness are another basic content of Chinese traditional culture. Confucianism advocates vigorousness and self-improvement. The Analects of Confucius uses "the responsibilities are heavy and the road is long" to encourage "scholars" with "great perseverance"; "Laozi" advocates "reaching the extreme of emptiness and keeping quiet and sincere", guiding scholars to be quiet and inactive. Get relief from the hustle and bustle of the world and become a supplement to Confucianism. The pursuit of masculine beauty and feminine beauty in Chinese calligraphy art is undoubtedly influenced by the pursuit of ideal personality by Confucianism and Taoism. Of course, the expression of masculinity and femininity in the art of calligraphy is not just one or the other, but a combination of both, with some emphasis. Jin calligraphy represented by Wang Xizhi, due to the value orientation of the Jin Dynasty scholars, advocated a noble and elegant spiritual style and a free and clear spiritual demeanor. Their calligraphy art is generally based on femininity, implicit and subtle, and contains the essence of elegance and elegance. The Qing Dynasty also had a complex of psychological depression and resentment among the Han people, especially the prosperity of epigraphy and stone studies, which gave calligraphers a strong motivation to relieve their depression. pregnant. The calligraphy of Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao are typical representatives in this regard. They have both a majestic and majestic atmosphere and a free and unrestrained style, which is strong yet soft.
In pre-Qin philosophy, Taoist thought of nothingness had a profound impact on traditional Chinese culture. "Laozi" says: "The crocodile is used as a utensil. If it doesn't exist, it can be used as a utensil. If a door is cut out, it can be used as a room. If it doesn't exist, it can be used as a room."
Therefore, if you have it, you will benefit from it, and if you don’t have it, you will use it. "Huainanzi" says: "Everything comes from nothingness, reality comes from emptiness." The art of calligraphy pays attention to the management of white space, emphasizes the use of talents in the absence of ink, and calculates white when black is a concrete embodiment of this point of view. For example, in Yan Zhenqing's "Liu Zhongshi Tie", Song Ke's cursive "Du Fu Zhuang's Travel Poems", Dong Qichang's cursive "Bai Juyi Pipa Xing", Huai Su's "Self-narrative Tie", there are many examples of virtual reality in the art of calligraphy. , on a piece of paper, the places with ink are black, and the places without ink are white; the places with ink are solid, and the places without ink are empty; the places with ink are words, and the places without ink are also words; the places with words are solid, and the places without ink are words. This is especially important. White is the basis of black, and black is the borrowing of white. Black and white complement each other; virtuality is reflected by reality, and reality is reflected by virtuality. Laozi's idea of ??the unity of opposites is linked to each other. The practice of using white as black is vividly reflected in the art of calligraphy.
Calligraphy is a painting of the heart. Personally speaking, the lines of ink in calligraphy works are the expression of the calligrapher's emotions, the expression of his heart, and his embrace. Display: "Lanting Preface" shows the elegance of Wang Youjun, "Manuscript of Sacrifice to Nephew" shows Yan Lugong's grief and indignation; on the whole, the calligraphy treasures from ancient times to the present, relying on the construction of various lines, collectively gather the appreciation of China. A statement of culture and a manifestation of the national spirit. The simple oracle bone inscriptions and the strict bronze inscriptions depict the ancestors of the Shang and Zhou dynasties asking God, "Will this be blessed?" "" and the solemn expression when he engraved "for generations to come"; the upright and balanced Qin carved stone shows the first emperor's good intentions in running the Qin Empire when the four seas were first unified. The connotation of national culture can also be appreciated in the writing of a certain Chinese character.
The art of Chinese calligraphy interprets Chinese culture profoundly and thoughtfully, and embodies the spirit of the Chinese nation in an elegant and delicate way. In my research, I saw the vital essence of Chinese culture, and I also saw the endless national spirit contained in the art of calligraphy. 6. I want to write a 600-word essay about the art around me, with the title "My experience in learning calligraphy" "Story"
(1) Calligraphy is a beautiful art. Practicing calligraphy in your spare time is also a good way to cultivate your character.
Learning calligraphy well also requires spending time. It took a lot of time. Sure enough, but after more than two months of calligraphy practice, I also learned a lot. At least we can learn more calligraphy knowledge and writing skills by studying it. We can also understand the works of some calligraphers and calligraphers of the past dynasties. In particular, it can exercise a person's perseverance and patience.
If you really devote yourself to learning calligraphy, you can feel a lot of fun. It's true, we first came into contact with seal script, and then transitioned to Official script, followed by regular script, each calligraphy font has its own characteristics. I think the strokes of seal script are very beautiful, official script is relatively soft, and only regular script is upright, powerful and imposing. And I personally prefer regular script. Especially Yan Zhenqing’s regular script. Because I can feel its spirit, every time I write, I can confidently write the shape of each stroke. When I write, I don’t even think about how to pause or stop the pen. , holding a pen or something, but as long as you have its shape in your mind, it is easier to master.
It is not easy to really learn a certain font style, that is to say, the calligraphy style of a certain calligrapher of the past dynasties. . First of all, you have to have a certain understanding of calligraphers of all ages and their works, and then you have to master their calligraphy characteristics and brushwork skills. In fact, the realm of calligraphy is indeed infinite, and you really have to spend time to learn it well. We need to spend time to understand a certain font style, and learn more about the calligrapher's era background and the background of the birth of his works. Only in this way can we fully grasp a certain calligraphy style. To learn calligraphy, I think it is best for us to learn from At the beginning of copying, we must pay attention to learning from others, learning from other people's strengths, and absorbing other people's good things, so that we can improve our own calligraphy level. If we don't learn from others, we will not be able to enrich and cultivate ourselves.
Of course, when you study the works of your predecessors, you cannot blindly study them. You must slowly form your own style. You must pay attention to the study of famous posters. You must take the strong points and discard the weak points for your own use. Through continuous practice and exploration Slowly develop your own style and points.
Finally, I think that to learn calligraphy well, you must also have certain aesthetic requirements, and the works you write must have a sense of beauty and constantly surpass yourself in the pursuit of beautiful style. In the study and creation of calligraphy, pursue a beautiful style. To see whether a calligraphy work is beautiful or not, you must look at the physical structure of each character and whether there are changes in the entire work. The structure, dots and strokes should be different, and the fat and thinness should be appropriate. , fat but capable of showing off, thin yet capable of plumpness, graceful and unrestrained, expressive of emotions and full of nature, and full of energy. Because everyone has different hobbies and aesthetics, they must have different opinions, requirements and pursuits. From this, different artistic styles were formed. In a sense, only by forming a personal artistic style and constantly surpassing others and surpassing oneself can one calmly enter the palace of human calligraphy art.
"The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold." I believe that as long as we work hard, we will be able to learn calligraphy well.
The art of calligraphy is the pride of the Chinese people, and we must continue to be proud! Source of the article: Geng Qingquan's calligraphy art.

Looking at the large tracts of snowflakes flying in the air outside, one after another, it reminds us of the plum blossoms in Nanjing in the spring of next year. It will definitely bloom more colorfully than in previous years, and I recalled my experience of learning calligraphy.
I started learning calligraphy when my father gave me a pair of beautiful town stones. On that stone it was written, "The edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold." It means no matter what To do something, you must persevere and persevere in order to succeed.
My experience in learning calligraphy is exactly like this: I started learning calligraphy in the first grade and practiced calligraphy every day. My level has improved a lot because of my persistence, and my progress has become faster and faster. When I was in third or fourth grade, there were too many homeworks in cultural classes, so I couldn't practice every day, so I had to practice three or four times a week. In fifth and sixth grade, there were even more homework in cultural classes, so I had to practice every week. I practiced two or three times, but I never gave up. I just squeezed in time and kept practicing. I saw other children playing downstairs while I was practicing calligraphy. I felt aggrieved and wanted to go out to play, but when I saw the famous poem on the stone, I gritted my teeth and persisted. This is how we got to where we are today step by step. As my calligraphy skills improve, I practice more and more fonts, including regular script, official script, running script, and seal script. I started taking the calligraphy examination held by the Jiangsu Federation of Literary and Art Circles in 2003, step by step, and this year I passed the Level 9 examination. I have participated in various calligraphy competitions across the country, Jiangsu Province, and Nanjing City many times, and won different awards: Silver Medal in the 3rd and 4th Jiangsu Province Children’s Calligraphy Competition, “Gold Medal” in the 5th Jiangsu Province Children’s Calligraphy Competition, and 2nd He won the "Diamond Award" in the National Children's Calligraphy, Painting and Photography Competition, and the first prize in the 2006 National Calligraphy and Painting Talent Selection in the soft pen professional children's category of calligraphy.
I love calligraphy, I think it is a beautiful pen tip art. I love the way I write those vigorous and powerful characters on the paper with my brush. I love the hearty feeling, and I love watching the pen tip show its graceful dance on the paper.
Practicing calligraphy is such a pleasure!
I don’t learn calligraphy to complete any tasks, but to relax and relieve my tension after studying. Practicing calligraphy can also broaden your horizons and cultivate your sentiments, which is really an extraordinary enjoyment.
"The road is long and long, and I will search up and down." I know that my calligraphy journey is still long, and I would like to be the holy plum blossom that "blooms alone in the cold". Author Zhu Guyue 7. Write an essay of more than 300 words on Yangshao Culture
