中国书画简介
书法,是在洁白的纸上,靠毛笔运动的灵活多变和水墨的丰富性,留下斑斑迹相,在纸面上形成有意味的黑白构成,所以,书法是构成艺术；
我国书法历史悠久,大体可分为篆书(大篆、小篆)、隶书、楷书、行书、草书(章、今草)等五种.
(1)篆书:
先有大篆后有小篆公元前二二一年秦始皇统一中国,废除六国异体由丞相李斯整理,简化 统一字体,后人称之为"小篆",字体略长而整齐笔划圆匀秀美.
(2)隶书:
隶书去繁就简,字形变圆为方,笔划改 曲为直,更便于书写.到汉代这种书体开始盛于起来,成为主要 书体.隶书结体扁 平、工整、精巧.
(3)楷书:
楷书从隶书逐渐演变而来,更趋简化,字形由扁改 方,笔划中简省了汉隶的波势,是因 为此书法可以作为"楷模"通行的书体,一直沿用至今.
(4)行书:
行书是楷书的快写,相传始于汉未,它不及楷书的工整,也没有草书的 草案.行书中带有楷书或接近于楷书
(5)草书:
草书是按一定规律将字的点划连字,结构简省,偏旁假借,草书的特点是艺术欣赏价值大于实用价值.
中国画,具有鲜明的民族特色和悠久的传统,是举世睹目的珍贵文化遗产.

About Chinese Painting and Calligraphy
Calligraphy is the flexible movement of a brush tinged with black ink on the white paper with the formation of black-and-white compositions with different degrees of contrast.Therefore,calligraphy is an art of compostion.
China has a long history of calligraphy which generally can be categorized into Zhuanshu (Dazhuan,Xiao Zhuan),Lishu,regular script,Xing Shu,cursive (chapter,this grass),and other five.
(1) Zhuanshu:
Dazhuan was developed after Xiaozhuan.After Qing Shi Huang unified China in 211BC,he ordered the Prime Minister Lis Si to abolish the various writing styles of the six countries to create a systematic and simplified system of writing,later known as the "Xiao Zhuan".The characters are long and round.
(2) Lishu:
Lishu firther simplified the characters from round to rectangle and from cursive to straight.It gained popularity in the Han Dynasty to become the major writing style for the song straight to the number of strokes,the better for writing.
(3) Kaishu:
Kaishu is an evolved form of calligraphy from Lishu,simplifying the characters even more from elipse to rectangle.Thus it is a "model" of the current style still popular today.
(4) Xingshu:
To write Kaishu quickly is the Xinshu style which allegedly started to popularize in the late Han Dynasty.It is not as neat as Kaishu but not as cursive as Caoshu; it is somewhere betwen the two.
(5) caoshu:
Caoshu is a caligraphy style that links the various strokes of the characters according to some rules.Its characteristic is that its artistic value outweights its practical value.
Chinese painting has distinctive ethnic characteristics and a long tradition.It is a renowned cultural heritage cherished by the whole world.
