Talk about your understanding and knowledge of Chinese calligraphy and Chinese painting (300 words required)

The understanding and knowledge of the concept of Chinese calligraphy:Calligraphy is a traditional art unique to China. Chinese characters were created by the laboring people, began to record things in pictures, after thousands of years of development, evolved into today's writing, and because of the invention of writing with brushes by our ancestors, calligraphy arose. Throughout the ages, brushes have been used to write Chinese characters, as for other forms of writing, such as hard pen, finger book, etc., its writing rules compared to the rules of writing with brushes are not vastly different but basically the same. Based on the principle of searching for the origin (after the oracle bone inscriptions), the focus here is on the rules of writing Chinese characters with a brush. As long as we have a "narrow" understanding of calligraphy, it will be helpful to understand the "broader sense of calligraphy".

In the narrow sense, calligraphy refers to the method and rules of writing Chinese characters with a brush. It includes the execution of the brush, the movement of the brush, dotting, painting, structure, layout (distribution, rows, chapters) and other elements. For example, the pen finger real palm virtual, five fingers QiLi; pen stroke in the front of the spread of the hair; dots and paintings to the pen with the intention of Run crags the same; structure to the word shape, the phase of peace and echo; distribution of intricate, sparse and dense, the virtual and real, the whole chapter through the gas; paragraph knowledge of the word ancient paragraph today, the word large paragraph small, rather high than low, and so on.

Broadly speaking, calligraphy refers to the language symbols of the law of writing. In other words, calligraphy is in accordance with the characteristics of the text and its meaning, with its calligraphy brushwork, structure and chapter writing, so that it becomes a beautiful work of art, with the development of cultural undertakings, calligraphy is not only limited to the use of brushes and writing Chinese characters, the connotation of which has greatly increased. For example, from the use of tools, only the pen this item is a variety of brushes, brushes, hard pens, computerized instruments, guns and branding tools and so on. Pigment is not only the use of black ink block, ink, adhesives, chemicals, spray paint glaze and other colorful, exotic. In the past, the four treasures - pen, ink, paper, ink stone, its meaning is also greatly expanded, the variety of varieties, to name a few; from the pen on the way to see, some of the hand pen, some of the foot pen, that is, with other organs of the pen is also not lacking in their own people, and even some people do not write at all with a pen, such as the "finger book" "From the type of writing, not a kind of Chinese characters, some ethnic minority characters have also boarded the calligraphy art, Mongolian is an example; from the style of writing and chapter, in addition to the authentic traditional school of calligraphy, in our country and the emergence of the "straight and curved (line) the same, the combination of static and dynamic," the "intention "It is the so-called modern calligraphy. It is based on the traditional calligraphy, to innovate, highlight the word "change", integration of poetry, calligraphy and painting, and strive to unify the form and content, so that the work becomes a "beauty of meaning, sound, shape" of the three beautiful masterpieces. In Japan, many calligraphers abandoned the language of the text to establish the "image" of the text, and the "ink image" school appeared to write various images of the text by using the weight and speed of the brush, the opening and closing of the brush and changes in the position of the pen. Although this school of calligraphy emphasized "imagery" and its characters were novel, not all Chinese characters were "image" characters, so it was difficult to move forward and its development was limited. All these (and of course not only these) show that calligraphy, like other things, is constantly developing and changing. This is a point that must be taken very seriously by people in the calligraphic profession.

The Origin of Calligraphy

Calligraphy is the art of writing Chinese characters. It is not only a cultural treasure of the Chinese nation, but also a unique treasure in the world's cultural and artistic treasures. In the long history of evolution and development of Chinese characters, on the one hand, it has played an important social role in the exchange of ideas and cultural inheritance, and on the other hand, it has formed a unique plastic art. In recent times, it has been proved that the origin of Chinese writing is generally believed to have been created during the "Yangshao Culture" in the middle reaches of the Yellow River in China, about 5,000 or 6,000 years ago. The Yangshao Culture was first discovered in Yangshao Village, Jingshan, Henan Province, in 1921 and was named after it. Many more discoveries have been made in the last 40 years.

The scripts of the world's peoples are summarized in three main types, namely, ideographs; ideographic scripts; and phonetic scripts. Chinese characters are typically ideographs developed on the basis of ideographic characters. The method of creating characters in pictographs is to draw pictures of objects. However, the drawings became simpler and more abstract, and became symbols highlighting the characteristics of the objects, representing certain meanings and having certain pronunciations. ...... Our Chinese characters have evolved from drawings and symbols to their creation and finalization, and have gradually taken shape from the Big Seal Character in the ancient script to the Small Seal Character, and from the Seal Character to the official script, Regular script, Running script, and Cursive script. In the process of writing and applying Chinese characters, the art of calligraphy, which is unique among the scripts of the world's ethnic groups and can be categorized independently, gradually emerged.

Prehistory to summer - calligraphy born of chaos

The art of calligraphy in China began with the creation of the Chinese character, "Sound could not be transmitted to a different place or time, so it was writing that gave birth to it. Writing is the trace of meaning and sound." Thus, writing was created. The first works of the art of calligraphy were not words, but some engraved symbols - hieroglyphics or pictorial writing.

The incised symbols of Chinese characters first appeared on pottery. The first inscribed symbols represented only a roughly chaotic concept, with no precise meaning.

More than eight thousand years ago, the Yellow River Basin saw the emergence of the Maishan and Feiligang cultures, and on the handmade ceramics unearthed in Feiligang, there are more symbols. These symbols, which are a chaotic combination of the forefathers' functions of communicating, remembering things, and decorating with motifs, are not really Chinese characters, but they are indeed the prototype of Chinese characters.

The Half-slope site of the Yangshao culture, which is about 6,000 years old, has unearthed colored pottery with simple drawings that resemble characters. These symbols have been distinguished from floral patterns, and have taken the development of Chinese writing one step further. This can be said to be the origin of Chinese writing.

The Erlitou and Erligang cultures followed. Erlitou culture archaeological excavations found in the pottery tablets with engraved marks, its marks **** there are twenty-four kinds, some similar to the Yinxu oracle bone characters, are a single independent word. The Erligang culture has been found to have a writing system. Three bones with characters have been found here, two pieces with one character each and one with ten characters, which appear to have been carved for the purpose of practicing carving. This took civilization another big step forward.

The origin of primitive writing was an imitative instinct, used to visualize something concrete. Though simple and chaotic, it already possessed a certain aesthetic
