![Gold Star Critiquer/Silver Note Writer [C: 53 W: 0 N: 37]](http://i1.trekearth.com/misc/g-n-s.gif) (343) | Today I am glad to introduce to you the Chinese calligraphy art and a very famous calligrapher, and hope you enjoy it.
Different from alphabetic writing in many Western countries, the Chinese script is a kind of ideographic script. In olden times of China, people wrote using writing brush, and other three things of paper,ink-stick and ink-stone, and they can write the writing like the 2 characters in the photo.
Chinese calligraphy is not only writing, but also has the effect of painting, thus Chinese calligraphy is a kind of art.
Wang Xizhi(D.C 303-361) was a very important calligrapher in the whole Chinese art history. The upper charactor in the photo means goose, writen by Wang Xizhi, and the second charactor means pond, writen by his seventh son, whose name Wang Xianzhi, also a very famous calligrapher.
Do you feel them like a goose and a pond? if yes, then the 2 Chinese charactors mean that a flock of white geese swiming in a pond. and there really exists a pond and a flock of white geese at the right-front of the pavilion/monument. |
