Characters of "form" and the Yellow River culture: calligraphy in different regions of the Yellow River water potential similar

Li Xiangrun introduced in pictographic characters long period, "pictogram" means first of all like nature of the form. From the Qin Dynasty to the Northern Song Dynasty, the central region of China's political culture in the Yellow River, Yellow River and therefore is not difficult to infer the natural world and nurtured to become an important model and culture gene Chinese hieroglyphs.

There are "in" the origin of ancient Chinese characters "in the introduction to the origin of Chinese characters, pictographic method created characters, images of nature determine its table text, which first involves frequent contact with people and seeing natural objects, such as mountains, rivers, clouds, rain and other ancient primitive tribes lived half swimming and half settled lifestyle, they swim a certain time, then settled in plants where appropriate. settled by the local general mountain water, vegetation-rich areas since ancient times the relationship between humans and the mountains, the river is very close, so, 'mountain' 'river' 'water' creation is relatively early. "Li Xiangrun he said.

Li Xiangrun and his group traveled in several Yellow River trail, after years of research found that in the upper reaches of the Yellow River between the downstream water potential characteristics in the creation of Chinese calligraphy and the Yellow River has not been the same characteristics.Li Xiangrun said by Chinese ancient and modern calligraphy works can be seen in the upper reaches of the Yellow River water potential features relatively flat, horizontal safe flow of river basin, such as Gansu region, more structural prolate calligraphy font, ink-based rich Jane Han . The upper reaches of the Yellow River in Shaanxi area, the Yellow River water potential longitudinal overflow, ravines, where works of calligraphy fonts generally upright structure, morphology stately, vigorous lines, mainly Seal opened fortune. In the middle reaches of the Yellow River in Shanxi region downstream water potential down, calligraphy font becomes Cursive elegant calligraphy. Such as the Yellow River in Henan, Shandong plains territory, the Yellow River Delta to the ground with the presentation of calligraphic fonts appear more "Han Li Wei Kai River gas, meaning the monument Fateh Central Plains Wind" features.

Although the above mentioned typical font is not limited to Qin and the Han Tang "positive book period," but no matter ancient and modern, representative calligraphers able to find work in the regions in which the book, so there are some common sense. This unity manifested by word "unified trend" is not only the political aspirations of those in power, is more important is the underlying culture of the Chinese nation will, is the fundamental requirement of the Yellow River culture and tradition gene dictates.

Character of "God" and the Yellow River culture: literary content more relevant and Yellow

If the Chinese character of "form" in the "Yellow River culture" focuses throughout the regular book system of management "moderate" sum "and" beauty, then the impact of the Yellow River culture of the Chinese character of "God" is mainly reflected During the extensive cast of imagination and creativity.

Li Xiangrun said that freedom is the creation of the Yellow River in the injection of Chinese characters in a cultural spirit. Mr. Tang Lan in "Chinese Philology" wrote: "The word originated in the picture, the more ancient text, the more like drawing a picture of the present without some form and law, so the ancient text, in the form of the most liberal. "Characters in period laid inherent source of this freedom and unrestrained spirit, it is the birth of the art of calligraphy, on the basis of the formation of infinite imagination and creativity, pluralism and normalization specifically written the history of Chinese calligraphy 5000 Langhammer in colorful picture.

In short, the Chinese character creation process, it is Chinese calligraphy culture conception process; the Chinese character "shape" and "God" is precisely the body and soul of calligraphy art: calligraphy characters have primacy in three elements, and the Yellow River culture play The relationship between the two great role is the most convincing proof. It is also of yellow culture on the other two elements of calligraphy - the basis of aesthetic taste and critical writing.

Law of artistic creation, for synaesthesia relationship "Water" and calligraphy of the Qin Dynasty to the "water" rational knowledge mainly comes from the "river" of the specific perception. Ancestors "water" Understanding and the personification of the ancient Chinese book on the return consistent purpose. As in "The Book of Songs", the poem comes to "water" there are as many as 670 major rivers are described in the Yellow River, Han, Ji water, Wei, Huai River, Jing River water and so on more than 20. The statistics show that the Yellow River is dry, tributaries of the ancestors of nature, world outlook and creative concept played a direct cultural influence.

Then, people for "water" Understanding and ancient books of Chinese personification of return consistent purpose. Confucius advocated synesthesia reference "perfect", "charity" point of view I have proved that the "water" is the ancient sages and calligraphers pursuit of "good", "beauty" of this higher aesthetic realm at his creation. Li Xiangrun introduced numerous books on the term "water" on the basis of inspiration through processing refined generated more directly borrowed a considerable part of the Yellow River water potential of figurative generalization. "For example, insurance, pale, male, strength and power, victory and other words are used to describe our calligrapher's works, and these words, were originally described the Yellow River water potential." Li Xiangrun that the principle of synaesthesia, It is not difficult to see behind these words enlivened academic culture flowing water rhyme billowing miles Yellow River.
