The role of writing brush characters

Now technology is so developed, basically even pen or pen everyone is using less and less, from the use of the old point of view, the convenience of the brush is also a little weaker, that write the brush character what is the use of it? Why do so many people still want to practice writing with a brush? Combined with my own experience, summarize the following:

1, brush calligraphy is one of the four traditional Chinese culture;

2, brush calligraphy is also one of the most important art forms in the Chinese art system, calligraphy and painting is not divided into family;

3, you can meditate;

4, you can exercise;

5, the thought of support;

6, to enhance the realm, nourish the body and mind.

The following reference to some of the views of the ancients:

According to Su Dongpo said, in fact, it is very good to understand, the role of calligraphy is to entertain themselves, lifting the heart of the unpleasant things, the mood is good, it is not stagnation of blood stagnation, and it is natural to extend the life of the time. Even if you can not reach this point, it is always better than those headlines hooked, all the negative energy of a thousand times better oh.

Ancient Chinese calligraphy, regardless of the line, regular script, cursive, clerical, seal script, can reflect the temperament and the book scrolls full of the whole work. There is absolutely no vulgarity. There is absolutely no vulgarity. That's why the ancients were able to make the chapters and methods so perfect, naturally reflecting the artistic beauty of the space. As if the divine guidance. Let those of us who watch calligraphy full of spirit, walking strong, and energy can be enriched. Therefore, there are some sage readers in the past once compared calligraphy as "special, can health care medicine". It's a very good point.

After copying Wang Xianzhi's Thirteen Lines of Luoshen Fu, I feel that it can make me feel calm and peaceful, and I will definitely stick to this kind of holy learning.

(Qing Dynasty) Zhou Xinglian said:

Learning calligraphy, composing books can nourish qi and blood, and also help qi, (that is, to increase the qi, in fact, this statement side of the calligraphy on the health of the importance of the body), after meditation, write the regular script of dozens or hundreds of words, feel that it can inhibit the restlessness of the mood. Then write the cursive, will certainly reach the arbitrary swing (here tells you a form of cursive creation, that is, before writing the cursive, first write the regular script, silent mood, and then in the writing of cursive, you will get relaxed after the sense of creativity), until the realm of unrestrained and unrestrained. When you reach this state, when you put down your pen to do poetry, you will certainly be able to write, and you will not be able to put it back. This is why I now realize that the art of calligraphy can also restore and increase one's talent, and even lead to the development of new learning. (Ancient calligraphers were all good at poetry and calligraphy, worthy of our modern learning)
