章節(jié)摘錄

插圖：When a person is appreciating a painting, he does not see the coloring of one part or a part of object; he views the whole work and judges whether it is beautiful or not. Then he carefully appreciates the details. While enjoying a piece of music, he does not appreciate parts of it, but the charm and rhythm of the whole piece.It is the same with the appreciation of a calligraphic work. Calligraphy critics always comment on the whole work before studying its parts in detail. The critic moves from the whole work to the details, and then from the details to the whole work again.While there are rigorous rules used in the formal, official or seal script, it seems that there are no rules in cursive or running hand. But, in fact, there are rules. Especially in wild cursive hand, the calligrapher does his best to write with vigor, dynamism, fantasy and grace. Cursive script also needs more consideration about the overall arrangement of the characters. Although the calligrapher may change his approach a little according to the situation, he sticks closely to the rules.
