20. Calligraphy 书法
Chinese calligraphy (shu fa) refers to writing art and techniques with writing brushes. 1,600 years ago, a boy named Wang Xizhi worked hard at calligraphy. He washed his writing brushes in a pool and the pool turned black. Eventually, he became a prominent calligrapher in China. Writingbrushes, Chinese inks, rice paper, and ink slabs are the basic tools of calligraphy.
Proper techniques for handling the writing brushes and maintaining the proper angle between thetips of the brushes and the paper are required. The structure of each individual character and overallarrangement are both important. Calligraphers have created plenty of masterpieces that have been passed from generation to generation. One of the masterpieces is the “Orchid PavilionPreface” by Wang Xizhi. Shu fa represents the aesthetic taste and philosophy of Chinese scholars.
中国书法,通常是指用毛笔书写的艺术和技法。1600 多年前的王羲之勤练书法,他涮洗毛笔的墨汁把池塘都染成了黑色。后来他成为了中国最受尊崇的书法家。笔、墨、纸、砚是书法的基本工具。书法讲究握笔的姿势,注意笔尖和纸的角度,也讲究单个字的结构和整体布局。几千年里,书法家们创作了诸多传世名作,王羲之的《兰亭集序》便是其中之一。可以说, 书法蕴含着中国文人的审美情趣和人生哲学。
