摘要: | 書法是中華文化的瑰寶,散發著無窮的藝術魅力,在傳統的美術品類裡,實有著很重要的位置。書法源自文字,隨著文明進展由實用功能轉進藝術情趣。在形式與內容高度統一之中,書者以一管之筆,表現出宇宙觀、人生觀、生命哲學,這在世界的藝術殿堂裡具有相當的特殊性,它具體呈顯了漢文化的美學特質,也表現了無盡的心象世界。所以漢字書法被形容為「無言的詩,無行的舞,無圖的畫,無聲的樂」。

Calligraphy is a treasure of Chinese culture, which exudes infinite artistic charm and has a very significant position in traditional art category.
