Features: Calligraphy is the art of creating meaningful black and white strokes on paper through the flexible and diverse movements of the brush, as well as the rich variations in ink density, thickness, and line quality. Calligraphy is a form of constituent art, where the brush extends the fingers. The speed, rhythm, movement, and pauses of the brush are all subject to subjective control, becoming an expression of personal thoughts and emotions. Therefore, calligraphy is also a form of expressive art. Calligraphy can reflect the calligrapher's personal life experiences, knowledge, cultivation, and personality. The saying "A person's handwriting reveals their character" or "Calligraphy is the heart's painting" refers to this point. Thus, calligraphy is a more expressive art of subjective spirit, capable of portraying not only individuals but also a certain era or culture, because eras and cultures are composed of concrete individuals.
