SUMMARY:The Origin of Chinese Characters and the Nature of Calligraphy
DESCRIPTION:For nearly 2\,000 years\, Chinese people has transformed the act of writing characters into the art of calligraphy\, a unique practice elevating the practicality of writing characters into an exceptional art form with rare similarities among other cultures in the world. Through the interplay of black and white\, dots and lines\, Chinese calligraphy embodies both intellectual creativity and emotional expression. The spiritual essence conveyed through calligraphy is deeply intertwined with the rich traditions of Chinese culture. In this online seminar\, Prof. Shuqiang Cui will guide participants to explore the relationship between Chinese characters and calligraphy\, as well as the distinction between everyday writing and calligraphy as an art form. Participants will also learn how to appreciate the aesthetics of calligraphy and reflect on the meaning and value of studying calligraphy today. This two-hour online seminar will be in Chinese.
