书籍简介
This is a popular calligraphy course at Peking University. Have you practiced calligraphy for many years but only vaguely understand its history and evolution? When you see a couplet or a plaque in a scenic spot, can't you even distinguish the script? Do you know calligraphers like Wang Xizhi, Yan Zhenqing, Mi Fu, and Zhang Xu, but don't understand what makes their calligraphy so good? Why is a piece of calligraphy that looks crooked and smudged considered a masterpiece? ... Fang Jianxun, a calligraphy teacher at Peking University, uses his original six-dimensional calligraphy theory system to guide you through encounters with master calligraphers and appreciate famous calligraphic works, helping you deeply understand Chinese calligraphy art from the perspectives of script, brushwork, temperament, writing, concepts, and recreation.
This is a key to unlocking the codes of traditional Chinese culture. From the oracle bone inscriptions carved on tortoise shells and animal bones during the Yin-Shang period and the large seal script inscriptions on bronze ware of the Zhou Dynasty, to the stone carvings of the Qin Dynasty and the bamboo slips of the Han Dynasty; from the cursive script letters of the Wei and Jin Dynasties to the famous regular script steles of the Tang Dynasty; from the literati paintings and calligraphy of the Song and Yuan Dynasties to the large vertical scrolls of the Ming Dynasty, and then to the epigraphy trend of the Qing Dynasty, calligraphy has always been present and never absent. It can be said that in 5000 years of Chinese civilization and 24 dynasties of artistic heritage, the various Chinese perceptions of beauty—in space, time, rhythm, form, emptiness and fullness, yin and yang, hardness and softness—are all condensed in the pure lines and simple black-and-white world of calligraphy. By understanding the beauty of calligraphy, you can more easily understand other forms of Chinese traditional culture.
This is an introductory guide to learning calligraphy. If you want to learn calligraphy, which script should you start with? How do you choose paper and brushes? Should you start with tracing or copying from models? And when copying from models, what should you start with? ... This guide systematically explains how to learn calligraphy, supplemented with over 350 works by famous artists and precious rubbings, a progressive checklist for copying from models, and instructional videos personally recorded by teacher Fang Jianxun, making your journey into calligraphy learning easier.
