中國書法 Chinese Calligraphy

Calligraphy is the essence of Chinese culture,which has developed into a special high-level art apart from satisfying theneeds of daily writing. It has been flourishing for thousands of years inChina. Shopswith strong commercial atmosphere will gain some elegance if they are decoratedwith some quaint cultural calligraphic works. Sitting rooms, studies andbedrooms can be nice-looking with calligraphy works decorated. As a kind of artwork, the writing of calligraphy is particular. The Chinese characters arewritten on Xuan paper which absorbs ink very well and then are mounted to hangon a wall. The calligraphy works are mostly a poem or a motto that the host ofthe room likes it much; if it is written by the host himself, it willdemonstrate more his aspiration and interest as well as his talent.

書法是中國文化的精粹，除了滿足日常書寫外，它已經上升成為一門特別的高等藝術。他興旺于中華大地數千年而不衰。商業氣息濃重的店面裝飾一些具有古色古香、文化色彩的書法作品就會平添幾分高雅。書法作品也常常裝飾客廳，書房和臥室。作為一種藝術，書法的書寫是很講究的。漢字寫在吸水性很強的宣紙上，然后再裝裱起來掛上墻壁。書法作品多半是居室主人所喜愛的一首詩詞或是一句格言；如果這是他自己所作，那就更能顯示他的志趣和才華了。
