1Chinese calligraphy is an ancient art of writing Chinese characters, evolving from the oracle bone script, stone drum script, and jinwen (bell and tripod script) to the large seal script, small seal script, and official script, to the cursive script, regular script, and running script, which were established in the Eastern Han, Wei, and Jin Dynasties, calligraphy has always exuded an artistic charm. Chinese calligraphy is a unique art of expression for the Han people, and has been described as a poem without words, a dance without lines, a painting without pictures, and a music without sound. Chinese characters are an important element in Chinese calligraphy because Chinese calligraphy was created and developed within Chinese culture, and Chinese characters are one of the basic elements of Chinese culture. The reliance on Chinese characters is the main mark of Chinese calligraphy that distinguishes it from other kinds of calligraphy.
中国书法是一门古老的汉字的书写艺术,从甲骨文、石鼓文、金文(钟鼎文)演变而为大篆、小篆、隶书,至定型于东汉、魏、晋的草书、楷书、行书等,书法一直散发着艺术的魅力。汉字书法为汉族独创的表现艺术,被誉为:无言的诗,无行的舞;无图的画,无声的乐。汉字是中国书法中的重要因素,因为中国书法是在中国文化里产生、发展起来的,而汉字是中国文化的基本要素之一。以汉字为依托,是中国书法区别于其他种类书法的主要标志。
