From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chinese calligraphy is a form of aesthetically pleasing writing (
calligraphy), or, the artistic expression of human language in a tangible form. This type of expression has been widely practiced in
China and has been generally highly esteemed in the
Chinese cultural sphere (including, historically, for example,
Japan,
Korea,
Taiwan, and
Vietnam). There are some general standardizations of the various
styles of calligraphy in this tradition. Chinese calligraphy and
ink and wash painting are closely related: they are accomplished using similar tools and techniques, and have a long history of shared artistry. Distinguishing features of Chinese painting and calligraphy include an emphasis on motion charged with dynamic life. According to Stanley-Baker, "Calligraphy is sheer life experienced through energy in motion that is registered as traces on silk or paper, with time and rhythm in shifting space its main ingredients."
[1] Calligraphy has also led to the development of many forms of art in China, including
seal carving, ornate paperweights, and
inkstones.
