So, with today's article.

In fact, in the cultural systems of countries all over the world, calligraphy is not only found in China, but also in many countries. There is no better English expression than calligraphy.

However, through in-depth discovery, we can know that both Latin calligraphy and Arabic characters belong to phonography, and their images are very limited. They are presented in a relatively simple way through repeated strokes, which is relatively dull.

What about China's calligraphy? Chinese characters, also known as Chinese characters, belong to morpheme syllables of ideographic characters. Chinese characters have been used continuously for the longest time up to now, and they are also the only characters in various ghost writing systems in ancient times. Chinese characters have developed to a high level in ancient times, not only used in China, but also used as the only international communication language in East Asia for a long time.

China's calligraphy is the carrier of Chinese characters. When writing, through the changes of speed, weight and dryness, we can create very rich ink images. For this reason, in the world art system, only China's calligraphy has grown into an independent pure art of this nation.

In the history of China, calligraphy is a very important part of China's art industry. It can even be said that China's calligraphy is the foundation of China's plastic arts.

In ancient Greece and Rome, the prosperous sculpture art laid the foundation of western plastic arts. In China, calligraphy laid the foundation of China's art.

Then, where does Wen know that some people will ask, why can China's Chinese character book surpass the practical decorative art and become an art?

The first reason, as I said just now, is that China's Chinese characters are naturally artistic. Because China's Chinese characters are ideographic, phonetic and graphic characters, its foundation is pictographic characters.

The second reason is that China's writing tool, the writing brush, has a special structure. It is different from oil painting pen and oil painting pen in western painting. The oil painting pen is flat. Such a special tool makes it possible for us to make such an artistic modeling of China's calligraphy.

The third reason is that in the history of China, our ancestors, our entire intellectual class, these literati, calligraphers and painters who used brushes, not only regarded the writing of Chinese characters as a record of their lives when they wrote. This is different from the writing inheritance in other countries.

With the creative wisdom of the ancients, the square glyph of Chinese characters has its own modeling possibility, and it is supported by the expressive force of brush tools. The combination of the three makes China's Chinese character writing move from the practical level to the artistic expression level.

Therefore, we can be very proud to say: China has calligraphy, I am unique, I am proud!
