✦ Synopsis

《中国书法》主要内容：中国书法何以风行于中华大地数千年，历百代而不衰，甚至超越了记事传言的基本功用，在用于日常书写之外，上升为一个世界上罕见的独立的艺术种类？它在发展过程中与中国人的审美情趣、价值取向乃至文化精神形成了怎样的水乳交融的关系？陈廷祐所著的《中国书法(西班牙文版)》从汉字的起源开始，深入浅出地介绍中国书法的源流、形成和发展，阐述了书法的艺术范式和鉴赏法则，并着重推介中国书法晋、唐、宋、清四个重要历史时期的代表书法家，肯定他们所倡导和实践的变革对中国书法不断攀上艺术高峰的决定性作用。（Calligraphy is the quintessence of Chinese culture. When the ancient Orientals carved the earliest abstract symbols on the walls of their cave houses, and on animal bones and tortoise shells, their symbolic action marked the beginning of the Chinese written language and civilization. At the same time, it indicated the beginning of the splendor of Chinese calligraphy. This book introduces the origin, forms and development of Chinese calligraphy, and the various kinds of calligraphic styles and principles in a straightforward way. The author has devoted himself to research into the aesthetics of calligraphy for many years, and has developed his own theories on the changes and development of Chinese calligraphy. In this book, he focuses on introducing representative calligraphers in different historical periods and maintains that the reforms these famous calligraphers proposed and carried out contributed greatly to the continuous development of Chinese calligraphy.）
