The Charm of Chinese Calligraphy Art

The charm of Chinese Calligraphy Art comes from the painstaking summarization and artistic practice of generations of calligraphic giants from ancient China to the present. As the ancient Chinese calligraphy art originated from the understanding of image and artistic condensation, so that now the swelling of calligraphy works can still make people appreciate the beauty and splendor of nature.

Chinese calligraphy has been inherited for thousands of years since its birth, and for thousands of years, countless literati, emperors and generals, heroes and warriors, and common people have lingered, wandered, and been mesmerized by it and fallen in love with it, which is the charm of the art of Chinese calligraphy. Someone has made such an analogy. The art of Chinese calligraphy is like a magic column, as long as you have the opportunity to get close to it, you will be tightly sucked by it. When you climb up this magic pillar, you can use all your energy and tricks, but it is always difficult to reach the top.

It was Xiang Mu of the Ming Dynasty who described the art of calligraphy in his "Calligraphy in Elegant Words," saying, "It can be nicknamed with its form, and its power is raised by examining its situation; every brush becomes its shape, and every character is different from its body."

This unique charm of the art of Chinese calligraphy attracts not only Easterners, but also Westerners. Far away from the ocean living in another cultural environment in the art of Chinese calligraphy know little about the Americans Fishengqing Reischauer in his book "China: Tradition and Change" is this way to praise Chinese calligraphy: "Calligraphy in East Asia is a great art!"

Expanded Information:

Chinese Calligraphy is an ancient art that has evolved from the oracle bone inscriptions and gold inscriptions into the Big Seal Script, the Small Seal Script and the Clerical Script, and then to the Cursive, Regular, and Running Script styles, which were finalized in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Wei Dynasty, and the Jin Dynasty. Calligraphy has always exuded the charm of art.

The division of the history of Chinese Calligraphy, from the general division, can be Yan Zhenqing in the Tang Dynasty as a demarcation point, which is called "the period of the evolution of the calligraphic style" before, and "the period of the stylistic change" after. During the period of the evolution of the calligraphic style, the development of calligraphy was mainly oriented towards the evolution of the calligraphic style, and the artistic style of the calligrapher was often associated with the calligraphic style.

The calligraphic style of the period of stylistic change was already in place, and there was no need to create a new typeface. So the calligrapher puts forward the idea of "Shangyi", "style" has been fixed, and "meaning" is alive, which further strengthens the author's main role.
