Calligraphy is the essence of Chinese culture, which has developed into a special high-level art apart from satisfying the needs of daily writing. It has been flourishing for thousands of years in China. Shops with strong commercial atmosphere will gain some elegance if they are decorated with some quaint cultural calligraphic works. Sitting rooms, studies and bedrooms can be nice-looking with calligraphy works decorated. As a kind of art work, the writing of calligraphy is particular. The Chinese characters are written on Xuan paper which absorbs ink very well and then are mounted to hang on a wall. The calligraphy works are mostly a poem or a motto that the host of the room likes it much; if it is written by the host himself, it will demonstrate 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(jīng)上升成為一門特別的高等藝術。他興旺于中華大地數(shù)千年而不衰。商業(yè)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。
