中国书法

汉字在其漫长的发展史中演化成许多不同的艺术形式，其中包括甲骨文，篆书，隶书，行书和草书。许多汉字属象形文字常可以从字的形状揣知其意。无论是刀刻书法还是笔墨书法都可以通过字型的夸张取得艺术效果，因此书法一直是一门艺术研究。传统书法是我国的一大旅游资源。中国大多数旅游区都有不可胜数的铭文石碑，匾额和厅堂卷轴对联。中国历史上许多名人和高僧在浪迹名山时皆墨撒悬崖峭壁，以此抒发感情。此外在丝绸和纸张上行文留字则是更为常见的书法形式。汉字书法无论以何中方式出现都将继续吸引着中外游客。

During their long history of development Chinese

characters have evolved into many different artistic styles, including inscriptions on bones or tortoise shells, the seal character, official script, regular script, running script and cursive script. Many Chinese characters are pictographs and often the meaning of a particular character is apparent in the pictorial form of the character. Calligraphy, whether done with a knife or brush, can be rendered in exaggerate ways for artistic effects. Therefore, it has been traditionally a subject of artistic study.

Traditional Chinese calligraphy constitutes a tourist resource. Most of the Chinese tourist areas have numerous inscribed tablets, inscribed horizontal boards, and inscribed couplets written on the scrolls hung on the pillars of halls. Historically, many poets and senior monks wrote inscriptions on precipices to express their feelings when they visited famous mountains. In addition, calligraphy has also been practiced as more popular forms of art with silk and paper. Whatever the form, calligraphy of Chinese characters will continue to exert a magnetic influence on both domestic and foreign visitors.
