章法
• 将笔画组成单字叫结字。将若干单字串联 成行，再将若干行安排成篇的方法叫章法。 章法主要研究分行布白、谋篇布局的规律， 是书法技法三要素之一。 • 汉字书写的基本章法有三种：齐整法、纵 列法、交错法。
齐整法 (neat style)
• 章法行列整齐， 横竖皆成行。 书写时常画出 大小一致的格 子，然后在格 子内书写。采 用这种方法写 出的字字距均 等，整齐美观。
启功行书五、七言联 启功行书五、
扇面 (fan style)
• 扇面的创作形式，自古有之，是传统书法创作形 式中常见的书写形式之一。扇面，尤其是对于古 代文人来讲，并非只是驱暑降温的身外之物，事 实上，持扇赏扇藏扇亦是古代文人的一大趣尚， 特别是对于喜欢舞文弄墨的书画才子来讲。 • 扇面因其小，便于放在手上把玩，故除了其幅式 章法要有新意外，笔墨技法也要精雅为上。 • 其创作形式主要有团扇与折扇两种，纵观古今各 类书扇作品，折扇上的字体选择似乎要更多样一 些，而团扇上的字体，很多人则喜欢用行草一类 的书体。
启功横幅
范曾横幅
北京老字号匾额
对联 (couplet)
• 对联是两张相对应的条幅，其文字内容讲求对仗， 对联是一种文化活动的产物。例如春联、挽联等， 一般是贴在门的两边或门柱的两边，有的则与中 堂一起悬挂在其两侧，还有的直接悬挂在房内， 以供欣赏装饰，体现主人的文化修养。今天我们 所说的对联，主要是指悬挂在屋内的“轴”系书 法作品。 • 对联分上联和下联，有时还会附上横批，对联对 文字的平仄等要求较高，好的对联作品其内容首 先要有一定的文学高度。在字数上，有四言、五 言、七言诗句，或八言，乃至几十言，上百言的 诗词组合联。
• 上款
指某人或某单位请你写 字。作品完成后，应题 上索书者的名字，并将 此名题在上款较高的位 置，以示尊敬之 意。 上款所包括的内 容：姓名+称呼+谦词

给chirs推荐中国传统艺术的英语作文全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1Hey Chris!I'm so excited to tell you about all the cool traditional Chinese arts I've been learning about. Ever since our art class started a unit on ancient Chinese culture, I've been completely fascinated. There's so much amazing stuff that I had no idea about before. I think you'll really like it too!First up, let me tell you about Chinese calligraphy. It's basically artistic writing or painting with a brush and ink. The way they use different brush strokes and the thick and thin lines is just so beautiful. We got to try it out in class and it's actually really hard to make the characters look good! The calligraphers have to practice for years and years to get that goo篇2Dear Chris,I hope you're doing well! I'm writing to tell you about some really cool traditional Chinese arts that I think you would enjoy. Get ready to be amazed!First up, let me tell you about Chinese calligraphy. It's the art of writing Chinese characters with a brush and ink. You use different brushstrokes and control the thickness of the lines to create beautiful pieces. The best calligraphers can make the characters dance across the page! Isn't that incredible?I got to try my hand at calligraphy in art class last week. It was really hard at first to control the brush, but after some practice, I was able to write my name. My teacher said I have a lot of potential if I keep at it. Maybe you could give it a try too? We could learn together and see who becomes the calligraphy master!Another traditional art form I love is Chinese painting. The painters use the same brushes and ink as calligraphers, but they create stunning landscapes, animals, flowers and more. The best Chinese paintings look so real, yet also have this dreamy, poetic quality. It's like they capture the essence or spirit of the subject.My favorite Chinese paintings depict mighty mountains piercing the clouds, with little people or houses at the base to show the grandness of nature. The way the artists use whitespace is amazing too - it's like the blank areas are just as important as the inked parts. I could stare at those misty mountain scenes for hours.Last year, my class went on a field trip to an exhibition of ancient Chinese paintings at the museum. The level of detail and skill just blew me away. Some of those masterpieces were painted hundreds of years ago! I would love to visit that exhibit again with you. We could pretend to be wandering scholars from long ago, exploring the ethereal landscapes.Speaking of old times, you have to hear about traditional Chinese opera! It combines singing, dancing, acrobatics, martial arts and amazing costumes & make-up. The performers are incredibly talented - I don't know how they can do all those flips and fight scenes while singing in that high-pitched vibrato style.There are so many different types of opera too, each with its own stories and styles from different regions of China. My dad took me to see the Sichuan style opera last year and it was action-packed! The face-changing performances where the actors change masks in a flash were my favorite part.Kun opera from my home province is more focused on poetry and graceful movement. I hope I can take you to see it sometime. We'll have to read up on the historic tales beforehandso we know what's going on. It would be fun to go in costume too - maybe you could be a brave general and I could be a lovely princess?There's so much more I want to share about Chinese arts, but I'm running out of space here. I'll just quickly mention a few others: sculpture (those ancient bronze vessels aremind-blowing), jade carving (tiny scenes carved into a single piece of jade!), and folk arts like paper cutting, kite making and sugar sculpting. China's artistic traditions are just endlessly rich and amazing.I really think you would love exploring these arts with me, Chris. We could take classes to learn the techniques ourselves. Or we could just spend days admiring the ancient masterpieces and imagining what life was like for the artists who created them centuries ago. A whole world of beauty, history and culture awaits!Let me know if you want to dive into any of these amazing Chinese traditions together. I'm happy to show you around and share all the interesting facts I've learned. You're going to be blown away, I promise!Your friend,[Your name]篇3Dear Chris,I want to tell you all about the awesome traditional arts from my home country China! There is so much neat stuff that has been around for hundreds or even thousands of years. I think you would really like learning more about it.First, let me tell you about Chinese calligraphy. This is the art of writing Chinese characters with a brush and ink. The characters are so beautiful and it takes a lot of skill to do the strokes just right. My grandpa is really good at calligraphy and he has taught me some. It's hard but fun! You have to hold the brush properly and put just the right amount of ink to make the thick and thin lines look perfect. Calligraphers spend years mastering different styles like regular script, cursive script, and seal script. The most famous calligraphers from history are revered like great artists. My grandpa has some of their works hanging on our walls and they are like treasures. I think it would be really cool if you learned calligraphy too!Another traditional art I love is Chinese painting. The brushwork is similar to calligraphy but instead of writingcharacters, you use the brush to paint pictures. Chinese painting is quite different from Western painting though. The brushstrokes are more expressive and the composition is very stylized. Subjects like landscapes, flowers, birds and other animals are very common. But my favorite Chinese paintings usually depict stories or myths. The details are amazing! There was an incredible painter named Zhang Zeduan who did a huge horizontal scroll showing the bustling city of Kaifeng during the Northern Song dynasty. You can look at it for hours and still see new things. I really want to learn Chinese painting but it seems super hard. Maybe you can learn with me and we can practice together?Speaking of Chinese myths, that brings me to another traditional art form – shadow puppetry! This is a kind of puppet show that dates back over a thousand years. The puppets are made of leather or paper and colored quite vividly. They are mounted on thin sticks and projected onto a screen for the performance. The puppeteers are real masters at making the puppets come alive through intricate movements and sound effects. My class went to see a shadow puppet show last year retelling the classic Journey to the West story. It had the Monkey King, Pigsy, Sandy and all the other famous characters. The battle scenes were so epic with the puppets jumping around throwingpunches and wielding swords! I was amazed at how the puppeteers could handle all those puppets at once. Shadow puppetry is a magical experience.One art that you are probably more familiar with is martial arts like kung fu. While these fighting techniques were originally developed for self-defense, many traditional styles incorporate beautiful choreographed routines known as forms or kata. It is truly an art to watch a master performing the slow, steady movements while channeling their chi or internal energy. Different styles have distinct rhythms and atmospheres. Shaolin kung fu is very explosive and powerful, while tai chi is more relaxing and meditative. I just started learning wing chun at our local kung fu school and I love the straight-line punches and quick hand techniques. The forms make you feel like an awesome kung fu hero! Maybe I can teach you some moves the next time I see you.Those are some of the major traditional Chinese arts, but I have to mention a few more. There is Chinese opera which combines singing, acting, martial arts, vivid costumes and more into an amazing spectacle. Viewers today may find it a bit strange at first because the vocal styles are so unique, but it grows on you! Paper cutting is another folk art where intricatedesigns are cut into paper using just tiny scissors. My mom is a master at this and can cut the most elaborate patterns. And of course, Chinese cuisine itself is considered an art with centuries of tradition and regional flavors. I could go on and on...Hopefully you can see how amazing and rich Chinese culture is after reading this! All of these traditional arts are still practiced today alongside modern arts. They connect the present to the past in a wonderful way. I really hope you will join me in learning and appreciating these arts, Chris. We can start by watching some videos online and then maybe take some classes together if you get into it. Chinese arts are a huge part of who I am and I want to share that with one of my best friends. Let me know if any of this interests you!Your friend,[Your name]篇4Chris, Have You Experienced the Wonder of Chinese Arts?Hi Chris! I have to tell you about some amazing things I've learned at school. We've been studying Chinese traditional artsand they are so cool. I think you would love them too! Let me tell you a bit about some of the most fascinating ones.First up is Chinese calligraphy. This is the art of beautiful writing using special brushes and ink. The calligraphers have to practice for years and years to get the brush strokes just right. We tried it in class and it's really hard! You have to control the thick and thin lines, and make sure each character looks graceful.What's neat is that calligraphy combines art with the written characters. So a piece of calligraphic writing is like a painting in itself. The characters have to look artistic while still being readable. Some calligraphers are so skilled that their writing pieces get displayed in art museums and galleries!Our teacher showed us works by famous calligraphers from long ago like Wang Xizhi and Yan Zhenqing. We looked at examples on scrolls and saw how the artists used different styles and brush techniques. It was mesmerizing to trace the flow of the brushstrokes. I'm definitely going to keep practicing calligraphy. Maybe I'll get good enough to create beautiful scrolls one day!Another awesome art form we learned about is Chinese painting. This kind of painting is completely different from Western styles. The painters use brushes, ink, and water-basedpaints on silk or paper. They have to practice specific brush strokes for things like bamboo, rocks, water, and landscapes.Many of the paintings tell a story or express an emotion through the imagery. Some look simple at first glance, but then you notice all these layers of meaning. The painters use white space really cleverly too. We had to make our own paintings using just a few strokes and it was tricky! You have to have a lot of skill and training.Famous artists like Li Cheng, Fan Kuan, and Mu Xi created some of the most renowned classical Chinese paintings centuries ago. Their misty mountain scenes and nature imagery are simply breathtaking. I could stare at those paintings for hours picking out all the details and hidden meanings. Art museums must be amazing places to see those masterpieces in person.One of the most unique arts we learned is Chinese paper cutting. This is where patterns and images are intricately cut out of paper using tiny scissors or knives. Some of the cuttings looked too delicate and detailed to be made by hand! The patterns represent things like flowers, animals, scenes from legends, or just beautiful designs.Paper cuttings can be super tiny and detailed or huge and elaborate. Either way, the level of craftsmanship is insane. Weeach got to make a simple cutting, but I kept messing up the patterns. It's much harder than it looks! The masters of this art can create paper cuttings that tell an entire story through symbols and imagery. How cool is that?What I thought was really neat is that paper cuttings are used for decoration but also in ceremonies and rituals. They could represent good luck, blessing, or ward off evil spirits. People would hang them in windows, on walls, or give them as gifts. Such an ancient art form with so much tradition and symbolism behind it.We also learned about some other classic Chinese arts like jade carving, wood carving, kite making, and embroidery. I could keep going for hours about the methods, history, and hidden meanings behind each one! It's amazing to me how many highly refined art forms China developed over thousands of years.What connects all these traditional arts is the amount of discipline and training required to master them. You have to spend decades perfecting brush strokes, cutting techniques, color mixing, or stitch patterns. These are venerated cultural arts that take a lifetime to fully comprehend.But that's what makes them so precious and fascinating. Each piece represents hundreds of years of artistic heritage.Every brush stroke or embroidered flower contains layers of symbolism, spiritual meaning, and human stories. Just incredible if you ask me!Chris, you absolutely have to experience these amazing Chinese arts in person. Maybe your family can plan a trip to see exhibitions and galleries that showcase them. Or even take a class to try making calligraphy, paintings, or paper cuttings yourself. I think you'd be blown away by the skill and artistry behind each piece.These traditional arts give you a window into Chinese culture, beliefs, and history. Every scroll painting or jade carving is like a tiny portal into the ancient past. You can sense the human mastery and dedication that went into creating it. For me, that's the coolest thing about Chinese arts - they connect you to thousands of years of civilization and stories.I hope I've convinced you to check these out, Chris! Wouldn't it be awesome if we became experts in paper cutting or calligraphy? We could create our own masterpieces to hang up. Anyway, let me know if you get a chance to see any amazing examples of Chinese traditional arts. I'll be happy to explain more about the meanings and histories. This stuff seriously rocks!Your friend,[Your name]篇5Dear Chris,I hope you're having a great day! I wanted to tell you about some really cool traditional Chinese arts that I think you would love. China has such a long and fascinating history, and its arts and crafts reflect that richness and beauty. Let me share a few of my favorites with you.First up is Chinese calligraphy. This is the art of writing Chinese characters with a brush and ink. It might sound simple, but calligraphy is actually super hard to master. The characters have to be written with precise shapes, strokes, and stylized artistic flair. Calligraphers study for years to perfect their skills.What I find so amazing about calligraphy is how it combines the practical use of writing language with creative artistic expression. The same character can look drastically different when written by various calligraphers, each with their own unique style and flair. It's like every piece of calligraphic writing is a miniature painting!Speaking of paintings, traditional Chinese brush painting is another art form you should definitely check out. These paintings are made by a skilled artist using a brush dipped in black ink and just a few splashes of vibrant color. They often depict landscapes like mountains, rivers, and forests. But the brushstrokes also capture the essence and spirit of the scene.I love how these paintings seem so simple at first glance, but the more you study them, the more depth and layers you discover. The best brush painters use varying thicknesses of brushstrokes and strategically place a few potent splashes of color to bring their compositions to life. It's like the painting invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and appreciate the beauty of nature.Now let's talk about an art that I absolutely adore - traditional Chinese opera! This is a form of musical theater that combines vivid costumes, expressive singing, choreographed movements, and ancient stories. Opera troupes perform tales about heroes, ghosts, royalty, and mythical creatures. The costumes and makeup are so bright, bold, and elaborate.What I find most fascinating is how each performer's movements and gestures are rich with symbolism. For example, the way an actor moves their hand can convey whether theircharacter is a warrior, a scholar, or a monk without saying a single word. The performers spend years perfecting these symbolic movement vocabularies. Watching a great opera performance is like experiencing an entire tapestry of Chinese culture, history, and philosophy coming to life on stage.Those are just a few examples, but there are so many other amazing traditional Chinese arts like paper cutting, wood carving, kite making, porcelain crafting, martial arts, and more. China's artistic heritage is a gift to the entire world. These practices have been carefully passed down from generation to generation, preserving important techniques and cultural wisdom.In my opinion, studying and appreciating these arts connects us to the vast stretch of human civilization in a tangible way. They make you feel small compared to the enormity of humanity's creative spirit across millennia. Yet at the same time, engaging with these traditions reinforces how we're all part of one beautifully diverse human family.I really hope you'll take some time to explore and experience traditional Chinese arts, Chris. Maybe your school can organize a field trip to see a calligraphy exhibition or an opera performance. Or perhaps you could even take a beginner's class to try your hand at brush painting or another craft. However you decide todive in, I guarantee these rich artistic traditions will spark your imagination and give you a newfound appreciation for Chinese culture.Let me know if you have any other questions! I'm happy to share more about the fascinating world of Chinese arts and culture.Your friend,[Your name]篇6Dear Chris,I hope you're doing well! I wanted to tell you about some really cool traditional Chinese arts that I think you'd enjoy learning about. China has such a rich culture with arts and crafts that have been around for thousands of years. Let me share a few of my favorites with you!First up, Chinese calligraphy. This is the art of writing Chinese characters with a brush and ink. It's not just normal handwriting though - the characters have to be written in a specific stylized way following certain rules and techniques. The shapes,thickness of the strokes, and even the rhythm and flow of the characters matter a lot. It takes a ton of practice to get good at it!I got to try my hand at calligraphy in art class and it was really hard at first. You have to hold the brush in a special way and control the ink flow perfectly. My characters looked like crazy scribbles initially! But after a few weeks of practicing the basic strokes, I started getting the hang of it. My teacher even complimented one of my pieces, saying I showed promise. Maybe I'll become a master calligrapher someday!Another amazing traditional art is Chinese painting. Instead of using a pencil or normal paints, Chinese painters use brushes, ink, and watercolors on rice paper or silk. The brushwork is incredibly intricate and detailed. A lot of the paintings depict landscapes like mountains, rivers, and forests. But they also paint flora, fauna, and even mythical creatures from ancient legends.My favorite Chinese paintings are the ones with dragons. I love how the dragon's scaly body twists and curves across the painting. The details in the claws, scales, and whiskers are just mind-blowing when you look up close. During our field trip to the museum, I stared at this one dragon painting for like half an hour, just taking in all the brushstrokes. It's crazy to thinksomeone could create such an amazing masterpiece just with some ink and brushes!Have you heard of Chinese opera? It's a form of theater that combines acting, singing, dancing, martial arts, and crazy colorful costumes and makeup. The stories are usually based on famous legends or historical events. I got to see a performance of "The Monkey King" when my grandparents took our family to Chinatown. The costumes and acrobatics were so bright and energetic! My eyes couldn't stop following the performers as they leaped across the stage.One of the weirdest (but coolest) parts was the acting style. Instead of just regular acting, the performers used these exaggerated movements and gestures to show different emotions and character traits. Like they would wave a long sleeve in a certain way to mean sadness or stomp their feet rhythmically to show anger. The singing style uses reallyhigh-pitched voices and unique tones. I couldn't understand any of the lyrics but it sounded beautiful!Speaking of beautiful sounds, you absolutely have to learn about some traditional Chinese instruments like the guqin, erhu, and dizi. The guqin is this long wooden board with strings stretched across it. It looks like a funny coffee table at first glance!But when the musicians play it with these long carved picks, it creates the most serene, melodic sounds. I felt like I was transported to an ancient forest or something.Then there's the erhu - that's the one with the long wooden neck and these two huge strings stretched across. The bow moves across the strings to create this haunting, almost crying sound. I've heard the erhu music in tons of kung fu movies! And the dizi is this awesome bamboo flute that makes light, breezy melodies. Jazz musicians like playing it because it sounds so unique compared to regular flutes.While you're learning about instruments, you should check out Chinese shadow puppetry too. This is where puppeteers use these intricate colored leather puppets and light from a lamp to cast the shadows on a screen. The shows portray all kinds of myths and folktales through the puppet shadows. It's like the earliest form of animation!During one show I attended, I was amazed by how lifelike the puppet movements looked. The horses galloped, warriors fought with swords, and dragons danced across the screen. All through the clever techniques of the puppeteers behind the scenes. They would swap out puppets super fast, use multiple overlapping puppets to show depth, and bend the leather tocreate different flowing shapes. It was like watching a living storybook on stage!Those are some of the biggest traditional arts, but I haven't even covered crafts like jade carving, kite making, paper cutting, and pottery. China has sooo many more cultural gems to discover. And the best part is, these centuries-old arts are still going strong today. Modern artists continue to innovate while honoring the ancient traditions.I really think you'd get a kick out of trying some of these arts yourself, Chris. They're not just fun cultural experiences, but also great ways to exercise creativity, focus, and patience. Who knows, you might just unleash your inner artistic talents! Let me know if you ever want to go see a Chinese opera or museum exhibit together. I'd be more than happy to be your cultural guide!Your friend,[Your name]。

Here,“road map”is considered as grammar and “car”as vocabulary.8、Since the subjunctive mood his son used is a fairly advanced grammar structure, the interjection“whoa!”reflects the tremendous pride the father had toward his son。

For foreigners, Chinese characters are hard to master, and calligraphy is even more difficult. The Four Treasures of Study(文房四宝) refer to the four writing tools: 笔writing brush, 墨ink stick, 纸rice paper and 砚ink slab. Chinese forefathers held reading and writing in high esteem. This is echoed in several sayings in China. They include 读书破万卷，下笔如有神---If you read ten thousand books, you will write articles as excellent as if with help from the God; 腹有诗书气自华---Reading makes a person graceful; and 读书千遍其义自见---After reading a book a thousand times the meaning reveals itself. In China, there are thousands of ways to describe calligraphic works, such as 龙飞凤舞lively and vigorous, 圆润流畅smooth and fluent, and 清和淡雅gentle and graceful. There is no lack of Chinese expressions complimenting such works. Chinese calligraphy is a sacred art, and can be a treasured gift.2、长城是人类创造的世界奇迹之一。
