What is the use of calligraphy, and the connection between calligraphy and martial arts

Calligraphy is in decline, and even companies hope to hold calligraphy competitions, such as TSMC, which holds the TSMC Youth Calligraphy Awards to encourage students to write calligraphy. Du Zhonghe, a master of calligraphy, lamented that when he taught calligraphy classes in the Department of Fine Arts, he often felt useless, because although there was a group of college students in front of him, more than eighty percent of the students could only talk about the foundation of calligraphy as primary school students, let alone ordinary students. (Reported by Chen Yingzhu).

Calligraphy is considered an important art and the most elegant form of writing in East Asia. Writing Chinese characters well used to be considered a kind of literacy. However, with the rise of hard pen writing, computer typing, and the cancellation of calligraphy classes in the past nine years, students are now not only scribbled and miscellaneous, but also let the calligraphy decline.

Du Zhonghe, a master of calligraphy and a professor of the Department of Literature of Taiwan Normal University, said that in fact, writing is to be a person for the strokes of words, and writing calligraphy must take into account the overall structure, which is the EQ advocated in education. (t)

How ignorant are students of the art of calligraphy? Du Zhonghe lamented that he taught calligraphy part-time in the Department of Fine Arts, and most of the students in the class were elementary school students in their first year. I feel that there is a useless place, in fact, I am dealing with elementary school students, and I want to use my decades of skills to teach them to grasp the essence of the art of calligraphy in the fastest time, but these skills cannot be achieved quickly.

t) Du Zhonghe also criticized that calligraphy is a strange thing about Chinese culture, but now not only the ruling party does not attach importance to Chinese culture, but even the opposition parties dare not mention it, so this strange flower blooming from Chinese culture will naturally wither!

In fact, calligraphy in the utilitarian role is not great, calligraphy ** very early, it should be said that there is a text when there is calligraphy, in the transmission of information people from the text found a sense of beauty, that is, calligraphy, in ancient times, perhaps with the help of this to win a knighthood, now it is impossible, modern people just borrow calligraphy to experience beauty, to obtain inner tranquility, do not exclude some people think that it is a symbol of the nation, to magnify its own responsibility, but the author thinks, if you can not be a normal heart or forced to learn calligraphyIt is better not to learn it, because calligraphy has actually become a burden at this time.

It can develop your patience, exercise your handwriting skills, and stimulate your interest in calligraphy.

Personally, I believe that calligraphy is the martial art of the mind, and martial arts is the calligraphy of the body.

Calligraphy is a recuperation of the state of mind: a calligrapher writes with his heart. Train your mind through the pen.

Good words are written with heart, stroke by stroke. The essence of martial arts is fighting, and the original purpose was to kill for survival, and I don't think anyone would be willing to use force when they were infants. But survival is compelled.

But when a person's martial arts reach the point where they can completely protect themselves. He'll go back to where he was when he was born. Rethinking what it means to survive.

At this time, martial arts led people to embark on the path of "heart learning". Martial arts and calligraphy are both guides of "heart learning". As said upstairs:

Calligraphy is the martial art of the mind, and martial arts is the calligraphy of the body.

Generally speaking, calligraphy is static work, and martial arts is kinetic work, and I think their relationship is that there is movement in stillness, and there is stillness in movement.

Personally, I believe that martial arts and calligraphy are the essence of Chinese civilization, which has been passed down through thousands of years of cultural evolution and has endured. Calligraphy and martial arts are representative of literature and martial arts, respectively. People who are both civil and military must have both.

Calligraphy and martial arts are combined, both rigid and soft. It's a great match. Practicing calligraphy is not simply for communication, and practicing martial arts is not purely for self-defense.

Purely original, copying is meaningless.

Personally, I believe that calligraphy is the martial art of the mind, and martial arts is the calligraphy of the body.

If you practice martial arts well, you can strengthen your artistic cells, and your writing will have the momentum of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing.

He has studied calligraphy since he was a child, and he knows a little about martial arts.
