Calligraphy culture, traditional Chinese culture, Chinese calligraphy is a wondrous flower of classical art. Among all the countries in the world, there is no other writing, like the writing of Chinese characters, which eventually developed into a unique art form with a long history, and the Chinese art of calligraphy reproduces this ephemeral transmutation process with its unique art form and art language. China's five thousand years of brilliant civilization and unparalleled richness of written records have been recognized by the world in this vast and profound history, and the art of calligraphy and painting, which is of a sister nature, in the transmutation of history has interpreted China's traditional cultural connotations with its complementarity and independence.

China's 5,000 years of brilliant civilization and unparalleled richness of written records have been recognized by the world, in this vast and profound history, Chinese calligraphy with its unique art form and art language reproduces the transmutation of this ephemeral process. And the sister arts of calligraphy and painting have interpreted the connotation of traditional Chinese culture with their complementarity and independence during the historical transmutation. The tools and materials used in the creation of calligraphy and painting are the same. When talking about the origin of ancient writing and painting, the Record of Famous Paintings of All Ages says, "At that time, the book and painting were the same, but not divided, and the image system was created but still slight, and there was no way to convey its meaning, so there was a book; there was no way to see its shape, so there was a painting. Although calligraphy has the same origin of comparability, but the later development of the situation is to complement the independence of the development of change. The formation and development of the art of Chinese calligraphy is inextricably linked to the creation and evolution of Chinese characters. What exactly is "calligraphy"? It can be understood in terms of its nature, aesthetic characteristics, source, and unique means of expression. Calligraphy is based on Chinese characters, written with a brush, with four-dimensional characteristics of the abstract symbols of art, which embodies the "unity of opposites" of all things this basic law reflects the spirit of man as the main body, temperament, knowledge and cultivation.

Chinese writing has developed the writing of words to an aesthetic stage - incorporating the creator's concepts, thinking, spirit, and can stimulate the aesthetic feelings of the aesthetic object (that is, the formation of a real sense of calligraphy). There are records to be examined, when the end of the Han Dynasty, Wei and Jin Dynasty (about the second half of the second century to the fourth century A.D.), however, this is not to ignore, downplay or even deny the existence of previous calligraphy art form of artistic value and historical status. The origin of Chinese writing, and the production of early works of art, all have their own particularities and epochs. As far as calligraphy is concerned, despite the fact that the early script - oracle bone inscriptions, there are still hieroglyphic characters, the same word is different in terms of complexity and simplicity, and the number of strokes is not the same. But it already has the law of symmetry and balance, as well as the use of the pen (knife), knotting, and some regular elements of the chapter. Therefore, it can be said that the generation and existence of previous calligraphic art not only belongs to the scope of the history of calligraphy, but also is an important example that can be drawn upon and pondered in the development and transmutation of the art forms of the future generations. Moreover, the organization of lines and the changes in the starting and stopping of strokes have carried the significance of ink writing and penmanship.

Chinese history and civilization is an ephemeral and linear process, and the art of Chinese calligraphy shows its own development in the context of such a big era. The emergence of the great calligrapher Wang Xizhi made the art of calligraphy shine, and his artistic achievements were highly respected until the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, the Tang Dynasty saw the emergence of a group of great calligraphers, such as Yu Shinan, Ouyang Xun, Broussonetz Suiliang, Yan Zhenqing, Liu Gongquan, and many others, each with their own distinctive calligraphic attainments.
