"The book is like Ye, like his learning, like his talent, like his ambition. In short, it is just like his person" (Liu Xizai's words). The purpose of calligraphy is to "express feelings".
The highest realm of calligraphy art is the human spirit, an abstract embodiment and expression of human temperament. Appreciating calligraphy is not only about the depth of skill and the exquisiteness of stippling and composition, but also about the author's spirit, mind, and temperament.
"Books are paintings of the heart" and "words are like the person they are". Calligraphy is a special language for calligraphers to express their feelings expressively.
The highest state of appreciating calligraphy is to "dialogue and communicate" with calligraphers through calligraphy works. To appreciate this state requires the appreciator to "see wisdom" and "see nature", and understand the wonderful principles of "method", "artistic conception" and "temperament" of calligraphy.
Appreciating calligraphy is the process of "re-creating" calligraphy in the human mind. Therefore, one must first "recognize the form", then "appreciate the quality", and then "express feelings", step by step in three steps, and gradually reach the perfect state.
