Critics compare calligraphy to music, which I think is more appropriate. Calligraphy and music both embody images through the expression of emotions, arouse the aesthetic ability of the appreciator, arouse the germination consciousness of inner emotions with association and imagination, and make the appreciator produce his own life process and artistic image with aesthetic value.
Sun, a calligrapher and calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, said that You Jun wrote Le Yi, but Painting Praise was full of emotion, while Huang Tingjing was full of nothingness, and Taishiguan was full of arguments, similar to Lanting. Swearing in private makes people feel miserable. "We can see that only through the regular combination and rhythmic changes of abstract points and lines can Wang Xizhi convey his emotional melancholy, carefree, carefree, unrestrained, excited and even sad, which can be said to be a kind of silent music.

Therefore, when we step into the dazzling calligraphy art exhibition venue, it seems that we can feel the musical rhyme like mountains and rivers, a flute dancing on the dumpling skin, the sound of a woman crying, the sound of a valley, and the piccolo playing in the spring suburbs are all emotional infections and aesthetic enjoyment.
The image of calligraphy art gives people aesthetic feeling, including formal beauty and spiritual beauty. Formal beauty mainly uses abstract dotted lines, the density of structure, the weight of stippling and the urgency of strokes to form an image, and evokes people's aesthetic feelings with its beauty of movement, strength, structure and layout. The beauty of god refers to the dotted line of calligraphy art, not the mechanical cooperation in geometry, but the rhythm of calligrapher's mind. The moving momentum and strength in calligraphy works reflect the calligrapher's aesthetic ideal of loving life and life. Zhu Ming Shan Zhi said: "Emotion, joy and sadness all have their own scores." It is appropriate to like harmony, dangerous to be angry, condensed to be sad and depressed, and beautiful to like plain. "The idea of life movement contained in the author's heart permeates between the lines, deeply shaking the hearts of the appreciators.
China's calligraphy art has both form and spirit and vivid charm, and finally becomes a unique art form with typical oriental beauty in the world.
