Primitive society, the ancestors in the pottery engraved symbols, already has the prototype of the text, the line also has the meaning of calligraphy, naive and simple. The vast majority of oracle bone inscriptions of the Shang and Zhou dynasties were carved out with a knife instead of a pen, and the lines were mainly square and straight, strong and bright. Bronze inscriptions were first made into clay models, and then cast in copper, known as Jinwen. Jinwen topography calligraphy lines strong simple thick, naive style. Although the pre-Qin calligraphy can carry the tripod, but are the tools carved and drawn, the line is still lack of vivid performance. The following Qin and Han brushes were commonly used as writing tools. Brushes are made of animal hair, such as wolf hair, and have the characteristics of ? Sharp, round, Qi, Jian? The characteristics of the writing method, can produce a very vivid performance of robust, Thuji Wan, beautiful, heavy, flowing. And calligraphy works are mostly written in ink, bright and calm color, wet and dry, rich changes in intensity will produce vivid ink rhyme, so that the performance of the calligraphy line is more evocative. Therefore, how to use the pen and ink has become the basic skill and the key of aesthetics that calligraphers pursue to grasp throughout their lives. Ancient calligraphers summarized a whole set of principles and methods of using pen and ink.

The Chinese characters to the hieroglyphic and ideograms as the basis for the creation of words, each individual word is created by the ancients of the stylized works of art. For example: ? De? The character "德" is written as "" in Jinwen, which means "de". which means "moral, character". means morality, character, and virtue. which means "morality, character". It is made up of the pictograms? Heart and? ey? are grouped together to form the ideograms from ? The straight line on the eye represents the line of sight, and the character is stylized in a metaphorical way. The straight line on the eye indicates the line of sight, and the character is a metaphor for the meaning of the word in a stylized way. Virtue is not a code of conduct external to human beings, but a moral self-awareness of the heart, a quality that can be felt in the upright gaze that comes out of the eyes, which are the windows of the heart. In this way, when the calligrapher writes this word, he will feel the enjoyment of the beauty of the painting, and the combination of this painting feeling modeling and calligraphy modeling feeling is a complete combination of shape and meaning of the calligraphy feeling.

Chinese characters are modeled by dots and lines, and what is defined between the lines is the surface. The structural beauty of calligraphy composed of dots, lines and surfaces is an important aspect of the formal beauty of calligraphy. The structural beauty of calligraphy is similar to the beauty of architecture. There are a lot of articles in the ancient calligraphy theories that talk about the composition of the calligraphic form. Sui dynasty monk Zhiguo's "Ode to the Heart", the Tang dynasty Ouyang Xun's "thirty-six methods of knotting words", the Ming dynasty Li Chun's "eighty-four methods of large word structure" and so on, among which Ouyang Xun's "thirty-six methods of knotting words" has the greatest influence. He stipulated the reasonable principles of writing flat according to the category characteristics of Regular Script characters, such as ? Avoid? (avoiding dense on sparse),? (avoiding the dense and avoiding the sparse),? (the interplay of characters in the form of a single character),? (to avoid the dense, to avoid the sparse),? (the relationship between the radicals and the main body) and so on. But the principles of calligraphy can not regulate the practice of calligraphy, ancient calligraphers in the creation of law and lawlessness, showing the beauty of the structure of calligraphy in a variety of ways.

4. The beauty of the line of ink and brushwork

Calligraphy is modeled by lines, and the lines themselves are rich in aesthetic factors when they are abstracted. The rhythm and melody of the line's staccato, thick and thin, dry and wet, thick and thin, tortuous and rigid, embodies the broad field of expression of music, and introduces people to a beautiful and mesmerizing mood. Ancient people in order to elucidate the beauty of strokes and lines, with a lot of vivid image of the metaphor, such as the Eastern Jin Dynasty female calligrapher Mrs. Wei and the Tang Dynasty calligrapher Ouyang Xun, had this description:? Point? as? The falling stone of the high mountain? The point is like a stone falling from a high mountain. A? Like the clouds of a thousand miles? A cloud formation of a thousand miles. What's that? Like the clouds of a thousand miles. "The withered vine of a thousand years. What's your name? Like? A broken rhinoceros? What's that? Like? The waves and the thunder? What? Like this? A pine falling on a rock? What? Like this? A powerful driver? What's that? Like the first moon in the sky. the first moon in the sky. That is to say, the calligrapher should write in the heart of the image, so that the pen can appear expressive, vivid lines to the beauty of ink.

The structural beauty of this kind of starting, bearing, turning, and combining reflects the general law of traditional Chinese aesthetics, i.e., the Tai Chi diagram. That is, the Tai Chi diagram style. Taijitu is a big S line which is closed at the beginning and at the end, S line is a curve full of life rhythm, there is no absolute straight line in nature, all living things have curved expression forms, and all the most beautiful things have S line expression forms.
