calligraphy is a kind of art with long history, which
has evolved form Oracle bone inscription and bronze
inscription to large seal script, small seal script
and clerical script, and eventually stabilized on the
cursive script, standard script and semi-cursive script
during the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wei Kingdom and Jin
Dynasty. With the artistic charm, Chinese calligraphy
has long been a unique gem in the world and a glorious
flower blossomed from the soil of Chinese civilization.
Being able to typically demonstrate the glamour of Chinese
arts and the excellence of the oriental culture, and
boasting for its unchallengeable deep influence in the
mass and clear artistic characteristics, the calligraphy
should be proudly cherished by all the Chinese people,
and thus it has been increasingly favored among the
world.
The long-standing and well-established
Chinese painting history has made it a valuable gem
in Chinese art area and a brilliant flower in the garden
of the world fine arts. The world-class painting master,
Picasso, once said that the genuine art existed in the
oriental. After thousands years of development, the
Chinese painting has formed a sharp national artistic
style by which the different schools co-exists peacefully,
and a lot of masters has been fostered and welled up
to jointly develop the profound and comprehensive old
art into a outstanding branch in the world arts forest.
