内容提要 Calligraphy is the quintessence of Chinese culture. When the ancient Orientals carved the earliest abstract symbols on the walls of their cavehouses, and on animal bones and tortoise shells, their symbolic action marked the beginning of the Chinese written language and civilization. At the same time, it indicated the beginning of the splendor of Chinese calligraphy.Why has Chinese calligraphy been able to survive several thousand years? How could it become a rare art independent of its functions for writing and recording events? What kind of close relations has it developed with the aesthetic standards, value concepts and cultural spirit of the Chinese people? How can we enter into this mysterioulack-and-white world? 目录 Foreword: A Cultural Treasure of ChinaChinese CharactersFour Treasures of the StudyBeauty of CalligraphyCreativity of Calligraphy ArtCalligraphy and Chinese CultureCalligraphy MastersRenascence of CalligraphyAppendix: Chronological Table of the Chinese Dynasties 作者介绍 Chert Tingyou has graduated from Shanghai JinaUniversity i1948.
