The Aesthetic Connotation of Ancient Calligraphy

Abstract

From the origin of writing to the formation of the writing system, the names and aesthetics of calligraphy have been evolving with time. Calligraphy has different mainstream writing styles across different eras and has been assigned different names, which also maps the aesthetic orientation of the times. Not only is calligraphy the evolution of the designation of successive generations but also in the continuous pursuit of “name” and “reality” of the unity of the ancient connotation of calligraphy and the era of aesthetic integration. This paper discusses the flavorful meaning behind the concept of ancient calligraphy, as well as its various forms of expression.
