According to the introduction of the local Hui life education and training network, running water is a common word to describe the natural landscape, but running water can also describe calligraphy, because running water can show some characteristics and forms of expression in calligraphy art, which will be described from three aspects as follows:
1. First of all, flowing water can describe the beauty of calligraphy. Calligraphers often integrate their emotions and thoughts into their works when creating, which is similar to the flowing natural landscape. Running water symbolizes a free, smooth, coherent and natural form, which is consistent with the aesthetic feeling pursued by calligraphy art. Calligraphers will also pursue this free, smooth, coherent and natural state when creating, making the works look more beautiful, natural and smooth.
2. Secondly, flowing water can describe the expression of calligraphy. There are many forms of calligraphy, such as cursive script, running script, regular script and official script. These forms of expression have unique characteristics of strokes and glyphs when writing. Cursive strokes are smooth and free, elegant and free, running strokes are coherent and free, beautiful and natural, regular script is square and rigorous, and official script is concise and beautiful. When writing, these forms of expression require the strokes of the pen to change naturally, and the font is smooth and coherent, which has many similarities with the flowing natural landscape.
Finally, flowing water can describe the rhythm of calligraphy. There are many rhythms in calligraphy works, such as the weight, speed and turning point of strokes, which can make the works more vivid and interesting. Flowing clouds and flowing water also have a strong sense of rhythm in nature, such as the fluttering of clouds and the flow of water, which can make people feel the beauty of nature. The sense of rhythm in calligraphy works is similar to that in nature, which makes people feel a wonderful sense of rhythm.
