On The Beauty Of Variant Characters

A variant of a Chinese character is a form of copying a Chinese character,which is written in addition to the normal Chinese character.Chinese characters are composed of three parts: meanings,notes and symbols.Traditionally,the definition of a different type of character is a special Chinese character with the same meaning and the same font.However,since the "image precedes the sound",the source of the variant word already exists before the birth of the first text.In order to explore the true origin of the variant,we must restore the first moment of the first word,or even trace back to the earliest note: knot.From the most primitive ancient knots and drawings,to the transitional period of character painting,to the special gossip period,and finally the ancient and foreign characters appear,this is a process of interlocking,the evolution of the Chinese character has a rather complicated process.From the process of domestication of images into words,the freedom of Chinese characters has been continuously reduced,and finally the balance between stability and variation has been achieved.The evolution of Chinese characters in terms of configuration is essentially a category of Chinese character configuration.When the Chinese character configuration is basically completed,its structure tends to be stable.After that,the change of Chinese characters is caused by the external environment such as writing.For example,the original original left and right words,the original stroke order is different,but the last is the same.This is because practical Chinese characters precede calligraphy art,calligraphy art cannot.Violation of writing rules.The change of writing habits at this stage of the "utilitarian" of Chinese writing gradually overwhelming the initial "decorative" of symbols,the variant characters also moved from "consciously" to "spontaneous".With the improvement of productivity,the writing habits of the ancients have also undergone great changes.From the initial writing and writing to the desk,many reasons have led to the emergence of variant characters.In addition to the writing environment,a larger factor in the creation of variant characters by "spontaneous" is the differentiation of power.This is the struggle for different levels of dialogue.The change of characters in civilians is purely from a practical point of view.The scholars reform the Chinese characters to express The ethics of the empire,the emperor to create new Chinese characters is to show their authority.Finally,why the Japanese characters of Chinese characters are gradually drifting away on the road of development.This has great reference significance for the generation and aesthetics of different characters.Weneed to start from a larger external environment and solve the problem of oranges from the cultural aspect.The fundamental problem of the birth of Huainan.The beauty of the variant is a kind of exploration from the inside out,from the inside to the inside,from the shallow to the deep.Although it is only a branch of Chinese aesthetics,it is an aesthetic of the different Chinese characters,but it is viewed from different perspectives.Chinese characters,we can see the typical Chinese thinking mode and spiritual traits represented by Chinese characters: use saturated copies to ensure that information is passed down to the maximum extent,and to maintain “centralization” in a “decentralized” way.
