Aesthetic Characteristics of China's Calligraphy Art

(A) the particularity of calligraphy objects. Calligraphy can become a unique art because its writing object is Chinese characters developed from hieroglyphics. Lu Xun pointed out in the Outline of China Literature History: Chinese characters "have three beauties: beauty in meaning, beauty in emotion and beauty in nature; The beauty of sound, the sensitivity of ears, the second; Formal beauty is to feel the eyes, and so is the third. "The' formal beauty' of the' eye sense' mentioned here refers to the formal beauty characteristics of Chinese characters themselves. A Chinese character is often a refined picture, and its main feature is ideographic, which makes it have a wide range of expressive force.

The traditional tools used in the art of calligraphy are pen, ink, paper and inkstone, commonly known as "Four Treasures of the Study", in which the writing brush plays an important role. It has the advantages of "sharp, neat, round and healthy", and can write strokes in different fonts, so that the fonts present completely different body styles and convey the calligrapher's rich and subtle inner feelings.
