1, what is calligraphy?

The art of writing Chinese characters, also known as "calligraphy". In a narrow sense, calligraphy generally refers to the methods and rules of writing Chinese characters with a brush in later times. Including the pen, brush, dots and drawings, structure, layout (distribution, rows, chapters) and other content. For example, the pen finger real palm virtual, five fingers QiLi; pen stroke in the front of the spread of hair; point painting intention to the pen with, Run crag the same; structure to the word stand shape, the phase An echo; distribution intricate, sparse and dense appropriate, the virtual and real, the whole chapter through the gas; paragraph knowledge word ancient paragraph today, the word large paragraph small, rather high than low, and so on. In a broad sense, calligraphy refers to the language symbols of the law of writing. In other words, calligraphy refers to the characteristics of the text and its meaning, in accordance with its calligraphic penmanship, structure and chapters of writing, so that it becomes a work of art rich in beauty.

2. Historical origin of calligraphy

Chinese calligraphy is an ancient art with a long history, which has developed along with the development of Chinese civilization. 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 the process of writing and applying Chinese characters since the beginning of writing, the art of calligraphy, which is unique among the characters of various nationalities in the world and can be classified independently, has gradually emerged. From the oracle bone script and gold script, it evolved into the Big Seal Script, Small Seal Script and Clerical Script, and during the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Cursive Script, Regular Script, Running Script, and many other styles of calligraphy were already formed. Calligraphy has always exuded the charm of an ancient art, and has been loved by people from generation to generation.

In ancient times, people used brushes to record and write things in their lives, and to paint beautiful pictures of their lives. Although we now have pens and computers, calligraphy, the unique art of the Chinese people is still blooming in our hearts.

■ Calligraphy has a long history, and there are many kinds of calligraphic styles. Here is Dong Shengyuan to introduce to you the types of calligraphy styles:

(Dong Shengyuan on stage)

Calligraphy styles refer to the different forms and distinctions of traditional writing fonts and characters. There are five traditional calligraphic styles, namely, running script, cursive script, clerical script, seal script and regular script.

Regular script (including Wei Bei and Zheng Kai)

Regular script is also known as Zheng Shu, or true script. The regular script has a strong regularity and can be said to be the most standardized typeface. Learning the regular script is the basis for learning and mastering various other styles of writing.

Running Script (including Regular Script and Running Cursive Script)

Running Script is a kind of script between the real (Regular Script) and Cursive Script. Running script is neither as complicated as regular script, nor as wild and difficult to recognize as cursive script, because it has the advantages of "unrestrained, easy to recognize and write", so it has become the most popular in the society and the most practical font in daily life.

Cursive Script (including Zhang Cao, Xiao Cao, Da Cao, and Standard Cursive)

Cursive Script is the most simple style of Chinese writing. Because of the draft of the font, in order to play the function of speed writing, more omitted rash, naturally can not be neat, hastily written, as the name suggests and is called cursive script.

Li Shu (including ancient and modern Li)

Li Shu is a common Chinese character in a solemn font, writing effect is slightly broad and flat, the horizontal painting is long and straight painting is short, pay attention to the "silkworm head and goose tail", "a wave of three folds". It originated in the Qin Dynasty and reached its peak in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and is known in the calligraphy circles as "Han Scribe and Tang Regular Script". It is also said that the official script originated in the Warring States period.

Seal Script (including Big Seal and Small Seal). (Show the works of Seal Script)

One of the ancient styles of Chinese characters. Seal script is a collective name for the Big Seal and the Small Seal. The Big Seal Script refers to the Oracle Bone Script, the Golden Script, the Preliminary Script, and the Six Kingdoms Script, which have preserved the distinctive features of the ancient hieroglyphic scripts. The Small Seal Script, also known as "Qin Seal Script", is a simplified version of the Big Seal Script, which is characterized by its uniformity of form, ease of writing, and decorative qualities compared with the Preliminary Script.

In addition, there are Mongolian calligraphy, Arabic calligraphy, and Japanese calligraphy derived from Chinese calligraphy.

■ Calligraphy is not only a function of reading and memorizing, it is also a work of art. The calligrapher of our group, Shi Jiayang, will show us the beauty of calligraphy:

(Shi Jiayang on stage)

Generally speaking, calligraphy is mainly concerned with "form" and "spirit". "Shape" includes the lines of dots and paintings as well as the spatial structure of calligraphy; "God" mainly refers to the divine meaning of calligraphy. "Shape" requires that the lines of calligraphy have unlimited expressive power, with a sense of power, rhythm and three-dimensional sense. For example, the sense of rhythm. Rhythm refers to the regular changes in the pitch, strength and length of notes in music. Calligraphy due to the creation process in the brush force size as well as the speed of different speeds, resulting in light and heavy, thick and thin, long and short, size and other different forms of regular alternating changes, so that the calligraphy of the point of the line produces a rhythm.

In this way, with the rhythmic changes in stroke weight, thickness, length, etc., the font is more beautiful.

In addition to this, the spatial structure of calligraphy is also important, that is to say, the lines of the calligraphic dots and drawings cross and combine under the premise of following the shape of the Chinese characters and the principle of stroke order, dividing the space and forming the spatial structure of calligraphy. The spatial structure includes three parts: the stylization of a single character, the line of a whole line, and the overall layout.

(Each member said their own harvest)

This report ends here, thank you!

Self-assessment:

This is my first time to participate in a longer period of such a high degree of comprehensive learning practice. In order to ensure the effectiveness of the activity, before the activity all the members of our group carefully looked for information, analyzed the characteristics of the Chinese characters, combined with their own formulation of the research objectives, and wrote a detailed plan. In the process of the activity, we divided the work and cooperated with each other, and we were very busy. We searched for information on the Internet; we went to the library to read a lot of books; we went to experienced professional teachers to learn from them; we looked up calligraphy albums and visited calligraphy exhibitions; we exchanged our feelings about the research within the group and enriched the content of the research; we selected pictures and made beautiful slideshows by ourselves. ...... Though we may argue and disagree with each other in the process of practicing because of our different views on certain issues, we were not sure whether we had the right to do the research. Although in the process of practice we will be arguing because of the different views on certain issues and red in the face, although we will also feel hard labor, but none of us choose to give up because of the difficulties.

Although our research is not perfect and there may be mistakes, we have worked hard to do it. We hope that bloggers will put forward your sincere suggestions, and we will try to improve it and make it better!

Thank you!
