本次展覽展出了中國(guó)當(dāng)代39位青年書法家創(chuàng)作的以中國(guó)古代的詩詞文賦、名言名句為內(nèi)容的書法作品。作品多書體、多形式地展示和呈現(xiàn)了中國(guó)古代哲思傳統(tǒng)與書法藝術(shù)獨(dú)特的中國(guó)之韻、中國(guó)之美，以及當(dāng)代青年書法家對(duì)獨(dú)具中國(guó)美學(xué)精神的書法藝術(shù)的傳承和探索。

“俄羅斯是一個(gè)美麗的國(guó)度，也是一個(gè)文化大國(guó)，領(lǐng)土跨越歐亞兩洲，融合了東西方兩種文化。歷史上涌現(xiàn)出了許多杰出的藝術(shù)大師，在世界藝術(shù)上產(chǎn)生著重大的影響。而中國(guó)是書法藝術(shù)的母國(guó)，書法在中國(guó)是一門非常獨(dú)特的傳統(tǒng)藝術(shù)，有著深厚的文化底蘊(yùn)和群眾基礎(chǔ)。博大精深、異彩紛呈的傳統(tǒng)書法藝術(shù)，已經(jīng)成為中國(guó)向世界展示國(guó)家形象的精彩名片。”何奇耶徒介紹說。他表示，多年來，中國(guó)文聯(lián)和中國(guó)書協(xié)推出的“漢字之美——中國(guó)書法展”系列活動(dòng)，積極傳播書法藝術(shù)，面向世界架設(shè)起一條書法藝術(shù)的友誼橋梁，在弘揚(yáng)中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)文化、推動(dòng)中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)文化藝術(shù)的海外傳播、加強(qiáng)國(guó)際間的藝術(shù)交流方面，發(fā)揮了積極作用，取得了顯著成效。

龔佳佳說，與俄羅斯的字母文字不同，中國(guó)文字是表意象形文字，有著十分悠久的歷史，經(jīng)歷了漫長(zhǎng)的演變。從最初的甲骨文到金文，從篆書到隸書，漸次到我們今天的漢字，書寫的材料從龜殼到青銅器、到竹簡(jiǎn)、到帛書、到中國(guó)漢字獨(dú)有的宣紙，書寫的工具從刻刀到毛筆，但無論漢字怎樣演變，它具有驚人的延續(xù)性和連貫性。今天的中國(guó)人依然可以讀懂幾千年以前中國(guó)的史書典籍，與我們的祖先對(duì)話。這在世界文字史上是十分罕見的。隨著漢字的創(chuàng)立、發(fā)展、成熟，中國(guó)書法作為一門獨(dú)立的藝術(shù)出現(xiàn)了，它的發(fā)展歷史與中國(guó)文字的發(fā)展歷史息息相關(guān)?！皶ㄊ蔷€條的藝術(shù)，是中華文化的獨(dú)特瑰寶。中國(guó)知識(shí)分子認(rèn)為‘字如其人，字由心生’，也就是說，一個(gè)人要寫得一筆好字，不僅要技法上刻苦練習(xí)，更加重要的是寫字的人需要磨練自己，完善自己，達(dá)到內(nèi)心的和諧，這樣寫出來的字才有氣韻，才有境界。從今天我們展出的作品，觀眾朋友們可以從中看到中國(guó)書法的不同字體和風(fēng)格，感受到漢字之美、書法之美、中國(guó)文化之美?！彼f。

莫斯科市杜馬文化、大眾傳媒委員會(huì)首都文化藝術(shù)家協(xié)調(diào)委員會(huì)副主席朗茨曼從中俄兩國(guó)文化交流的角度針對(duì)我們的書法展給予了高度評(píng)價(jià)，他強(qiáng)調(diào)書法展可以讓更多俄羅斯人認(rèn)識(shí)熟悉這一中國(guó)特有藝術(shù)門類的功能。俄羅斯藝術(shù)科學(xué)院蘇里科夫美術(shù)學(xué)院教授、人民畫家彼得羅夫表示，中國(guó)書法對(duì)他在藝術(shù)創(chuàng)作過程中的啟發(fā)和書法的線條美和韻律美。俄羅斯科學(xué)院東方研究所中國(guó)處主任柯布澤夫認(rèn)為，中國(guó)書法是世界上獨(dú)一無二的融合藝術(shù)與文字的文化現(xiàn)象，這在歐洲和俄羅斯這種以字母為文字載體的文化背景下不那么容易理解；所以他還向在場(chǎng)觀眾重點(diǎn)講解了中國(guó)書法和漢字進(jìn)化之間的關(guān)系，以及中國(guó)書法以黑白成像創(chuàng)造藝術(shù)美感的功效。

“國(guó)之交在于民相親，民相親在于心相通?！蓖ㄟ^“漢字之美”——中國(guó)青年書法家作品展這樣的活動(dòng)，將有助于建立中俄文化交流的平臺(tái)，加深雙方的文化了解，持續(xù)推動(dòng)中俄兩方人民對(duì)話，增進(jìn)雙方人民友誼，加強(qiáng)兩個(gè)偉大文明的互動(dòng)。

From September 11 till 16, “Beauty of Chinese Characters”Chinese Youth Calligraphers’ Works Exhibition sponsored by CFLAC and China Calligraphers Association (CCA) was held at Chinese Culture Center at Moscow of Russia. In the wake of UNESCO’s listing Chinese calligraphy into the World Intangible Cultural Heritage, this exhibition has become another calligraphy gala in Moscow after its sessions in the UNESCO Headquarters in Paris of France, Australia, Mexico, Canada, Portugal and EU Headquarters in Belgium. Distinguished guests such as LI Yi,executive vice president of CFLAC and head of CFLAC delegation,HE Qiyetu, vice president of CCA, GONG Jiajia, cultural counselor of Chinese Embassy in Russia, LI Zhi, deputy director general of Chinese Culture Center at Moscow, as well as over 100 experts,scholars, artists and representatives from Municipal Duma of Moscow, Surikov Fine Arts Academy of Russian Academy of Arts,Krasnodar State Academy of Culture and Arts and State Lenin Library, along with local media and audiences, attended the opening ceremony.

This exhibition involves calligraphy in the contents of ancient Chinese poetry, prose and mottos created by 39 contemporary Chinese young calligraphers. In multiple types and styles of calligraphy, their works highlight the ancient tradition of Chinese philosophy, the unique attraction of Chinese calligraphic art and the contemporary young artists’ inheritance and exploration of Chinese calligraphy as a carrier of Chinese aesthetic spirits.

“Russia is a beautiful country as well as a cultural power in the world. Its geographic coverage on both Asia and Europe leads to the integration of two civilizations of Orient and Occident.Thanks to the constant occurrence of many masters in arts in history, Russia exerts a significant impact upon the global arts.China is the motherland of calligraphic art, As a particular traditional art, chinese calligraphy is blessed with a solid foundation in culture and enjoys extensive participation. Chinese calligraphy of profound connotation and colorful presentation has become an excellent name card of China that demonstrates its national image to the rest of the world.”HE Qiyetu concluded.As far as he can see,the “Beauty of Chinese Characters—Chinese Calligraphy Exhibition”series sponsored by CFLAC and CCA in recent years have managed to disseminate this art in an active way and establish a friendship bridge to connect the world in calligraphic art. Moreover, in the respect of promoting traditional Chinese culture both at home and abroad,and enhancing international art exchange and communication,this series have played positive role and achieved remarkable in fluence.

As GONG Jiajia, cultural counselor of Chinese Embassy in Russia put, different from the alphabetic letters of Russian language,Chinese characters, as a time-honored ideographic language, have undergone a prolonged evolution from the initial inscriptions on bones and shells of tortoise to that on bronze objects, then to seal characters and official scripts, and finally to the current standard scripts. Despite the change of either writing materials from bronze to bamboo, from silk to paper, or writing tools from graver to brush, Chinese characters have maintained amazing continuity and coherence. Today’s Chinese people are still able to read through those ancient classics of thousands of years ago and conduct dialogues with their ancestors, which is quite rare in the world linguistic history. Along with the establishment,development and maturity of characters, Chinese calligraphy becomes an independent art and shares its own development process closely bound up with that of Chinese language.“Calligraphy is an art of lines. It is a unique treasure of Chinese culture. Chinese intellectuals insist that a person’s calligraphy is a reflection of his or her personality. In other words, to achieve a perfect calligraphy, one must not only keep perseverant practice with writing skills, but also keep perfecting internal harmony and virtue. Viewers can feel momentum and wisdom from a person’s calligraphy as well. Therefore from this exhibition, Russianaudiences can appreciate the varied forms and styles of Chinese calligraphy and experience the beauty of chinese characters,chinese calligraphy and Chinese culture.” she said.

From the perspective of cultural exchange between China and Russia, Lanzman, vice chair of capital cultural artists coordination committee of Culture, Social Media Committee of Moscow Duma, spoke highly of this Chinese calligraphy exhibition and stressed that this exhibition may bring more Russian people into familiarity with this particular Chinese art discipline. As Pedrov,professor and People’s painter from Surikov Fine Arts Academy of Russian Academy of Arts expressed, during the course of his artistic creation, Chinese calligraphy inspired him with the beauty of lines and rhythm. In the opinion of Kobzev, director of Chinese studies at Oriental Research Institute of Russian Academy of Science, Chinese calligraphy is the unique cultural phenomenon of art and language integration, and thus hard for those in the cultural background of letter languages in Europe and Russia to fully understand. In this case, he deliberately gave a lecture to Russian audiences about the relationship between Chinese calligraphy and characters as well as the aesthetic effect of black-and-white calligraphy.

As Chinese President Xi Jinping remarks, “frequent exchanges are essential to amity between peoples which in turn is the key to sound relations between states”. Such event as“Beauty of Chinese Characters” Chinese Youth Calligraphers’Works Exhibition will help establish a strong platform of cultural exchange between China and Russia, deepen mutual understanding of each other’s cultures, promote dialogue and friendship between the two peoples and enhance the interaction between the two civilizations.
