The history of Chinese calligraphy
is almost the same as the history of China itself. Calligraphy
is one of the noble Chinese arts. Regarded as the most
abstract and sublime form of art in Chinese culture,
"Shu Fa" (calligraphy) is often thought to be the most
revealing of one's personality. Chinese calligraphy
serves the purpose of conveying thoughts but also shows
the abstract beauty of the line. Rhythm, line, and structure
are more perfectly embodied in calligraphy than in painting
or sculpture. |
