Chinese calligraphy |
Calligraphy is not only a practical technique for writing Chinese characters, but also a unique Oriental art of expression. As a branch of learning it is rich in content, including the evolution of writing styles, development and rules of technique, history of calligraphy, calligraphers and their inheritance in art. This branch of learning is profound, forming an important part of Chinese culture.
Like chopsticks, this calligraphy used to be wholly Chinese. As Chinese culture spread to Korea, Japan, Vietnam and Singapore, calligraphy gradually became a unique feature of Oriental art.
In the west, there has been a discovery on the unique beauty of Chinese calligraphy. Every character is written like a beautiful flower. Western scholars visiting China develop a keen interest in and love for Chinese calligraphy. From calligraphy they seek to learn about Oriental culture. There are artists in the West who understand the abstract beauty of Chinese calligraphic art. They praise Chinese calligraphy combine beauty of image in painting, the beauty of dynamism in dance and the beauty of rhythm in music. Although calligraphy is born in China, it does not belong exclusively to China. We can definitely say that calligraphy is a gem in the world's art treasury.
With a history of four to five thousand years, the art of calligraphy is of deep content, and has drawn the attention of artists all over the world.
