Kalligrafi i Kina

Author

  • Jonas Andersson

Summary, in English

Calligraphy has existed in many shapes in China, ever since the first Chinese characters were written. Calligraphy has been an important tool within politics as well as being an important art form. Contemporary Calligraphy has lost the prestige it once had, but is still used within politics though not to the same extent.
Calligraphy as an art form has developed immensely during the latter part of the 20th century and is today highly appreciated and multi facetted.
Calligraphy within the digital realm is a topic widely studied, where digital aid can make the study of calligraphy easier.
According to a survey answered by Chinese in China, the participants have changed their views on Calligraphy since their youth. Although computers have taken over, calligraphy is still revered as a means to soothe ones mind. One generation back, calligraphy was one of the more important skills to master. In modern China, calligraphy has given way for Computer and English skills.
