What is Calligraphy?

Calligraphy (English: Calligraphy) is the method of writing words, an art of writing. Calligraphy vertically penetrates two levels: "use" and "aesthetics"; horizontally crosses two levels of text: "writing", "painting "Calligraphy is also a study of writing. Calligraphy is also a tool to study the psychology and character of the writer.

Modern calligraphy ranges widely, from functional inscriptions and lettering designs, to the abstract handwritten markings of refined art, where the text may be easy to read, or not, regardless of its legibility. Classical calligraphy is distinguished from typography and non-classical handwriting.

Nepalese calligraphy

Nepalese calligraphy is primarily written in the Lanydza script, which itself, as well as the Lanydza Script, Phagpa Script, or the Kutila Script, is the most common form of calligraphy. The script itself and its derivatives such as Lanydza Script, Phagpa Script, or Kutila Script are used in Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, Liechtenstein, Mongolia, coastal China, Japan, and South Korea to write the Six Character Truth or other scriptures derived from Sanskrit or Pali.

Thailand

Thai calligraphy is mainly written in Sanskrit. Historically, Thai calligraphy has been restricted to the sacred Benjaminic texts of the Pali Classics.

Tibet is part of the Indian Cultural Circle and was the heartland of Buddhism for many hundreds of years. The Tibetan script originated from the Indian script, and its writing was important in the religious area, and Tibetan calligraphy was an important part of its culture. Tibetan aristocrats, such as lamas and occupants of the Potala Palace, were often skilled in calligraphy.

The parts of Tibetan calligraphy that have a secular connection are few, but they do exist (and to a certain extent they are related to Tibetan Buddhism). Almost all handwritten documents by high-ranking religious figures are related to Tibetan calligraphy, including in letters sent by the Dalai Lama, and in handwritten documents by other high-ranking religious and secular figures.

Tibetan calligraphy is particularly evident on its transepts, though the words are forged rather than carved. Tibetan calligraphy was first written on reeds, but nowadays it is mostly written with chisel-tipped pens as well.
