The beauty of Chinese characters, the beauty of the meaning of the words, the beauty of the glyphs, and the beauty of the sounds.

The beauty of Chinese characters, the beauty of form to feel the eye, and the beauty of meaning to feel the heart.

Mr. Lu Xun said: Chinese characters have three beauties and contain wisdom. Meaning and beauty infect the soul, the shape is beautiful and the eyes are shining, and the sound is beautiful and the ears are pleasant.

Today, I will introduce a book about Chinese characters, from their origin to their evolution, from their original meaning to their extended meaning.

Do you know why "Zhonghua" is called "Zhonghua" or Huaxia? Do you know why the ancients always said, "For more than three generations, everyone knows astronomy"?

Mr. Chen Yanke said:"To explain a word is to make a cultural history. ”

Chinese characters are one of the oldest scripts in the world, also known as "square characters", which evolved from pictographs to phonetic and phonetic characters, integrating image, sound and meaning, which is unique among the world's languages.

The ancients had six methods of man-made characters, namely, pictogram, signifier, understanding, shape and sound, transfer, and pretend. In ancient man-made characters, every stroke is an image, and the Chinese characters composed of each stroke are a kind of artistic conception composed of these images.

Therefore, the artistic conception of Chinese characters is built on the artistic conception of Chinese characters, and Chinese characters also have the characteristics of cultivating temperament and aesthetics.

Let's take the word "China" as an example. In the oracle bone inscription and the gold inscription, the word "middle" is the appearance of a flag with a long ribbon fluttering in the wind, which originally means the middle and the middle. The word "Hua" is the meaning of a flower at the earliest, and the "Hua" in the oracle bone inscription is a flowering tree, and the appearance of a blooming flower in the golden inscription and seal inscription.

Therefore, the word "Hua" is extended to be beautiful and glorious things.

The ancients paid attention to the golden mean. Confucius said: "To neutralize, heaven is in place, and all things are nurtured."

It means that we should be impartial, unbiased, and peaceful. Eliminate the extremes of both ends, take the best "degree" in the middle, and arrive at the dialectical idea of "neutralization", which is rich in wisdom.

The Forbidden City complex embodies the idea of "neutralization", as well as the symmetrical beauty of some utensils, calligraphy and the symmetrical beauty of laws, which also reflect this thought.

In ancient times, the Chinese people established a country in the Yellow River Valley, thinking that they lived in the middle of the world and were in the middle of the four directions, so they were called China, also known as China and the Central Plains. Later, the territory of each dynasty gradually expanded, and the territory under its jurisdiction was also collectively called China or Zhonghua.

It can be seen that the ancients gave a beautiful meaning to "Huaxia".

Understanding the origin, evolution and cultural knowledge of each Chinese character is of great help to understand Chinese culture.

In the book "Kingdom of Chinese Characters", the author Ren Xiran selects more than 100 common Chinese characters to tell their profound cultural connotations, and attaches oracle bone inscriptions, golden inscriptions, small seals, etc., one word and one picture, analyzing the origin and evolution process of each character, and explaining the original meaning and extended meaning of each character.

The art forms of Chinese characters mainly include calligraphy, seal carving, art characters, art characters, etc.

2. Seal carving: Seal carving is one of the traditional Chinese arts. Refers to the art of carving seals.

Because when engraving, the waiter first made a seal on the printing material, and then added a carving, so it is called. Generally, it is carved with a knife on stone, tooth, horn, wood and other printing materials; Metal seals are mostly engraved first and then cast. Qin seal and Han seal are recognized as the source of seal carving art, and many seal carving schools appeared in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

3. Artistic words:

Artistic characters are words that have been processed, beautified, and decorated. It is a kind of writing art that uses decorative techniques to beautify words, and it is a practical font for artistic processing. The font is neat, eye-catching and beautiful, easy to recognize, and is an indispensable tool for carrying out publicity and education, such as banners, slogans, exhibitions, as well as commodity packaging and decoration, newspapers, magazines and books.

The characteristics of the font conform to the meaning of the text, have the characteristics of beauty and interest, easy to recognize and easy to recognize, eye-catching and public, etc., and are a kind of font deformation with pattern meaning or decorative meaning. Artistic characters can start from the meaning, shape and structural characteristics of Chinese characters, and make reasonable deformation and decoration of the strokes and structure of Chinese characters.

Chinese character art is an art form of the Chinese nation, which is not simply a language communication tool, but a carrier of Chinese national cultural symbols. Chinese characters inherit the characteristics of the Chinese culture, and the gate of the Xuanmu gives birth to all things, which is the inevitable impact of Chinese characters on the Chinese nation itself.

It's like a mirror, you can see the reflection of the image in it, so try to destroy the Liangshan diagram to change the possibility of existence in reality, this is the charm of Chinese characters. At the same time, because of the pictographic nature of Chinese characters, she has become the basis and inspiration for more artists' creations.
