The spread of Chinese calligraphy in Germany can be traced back to at least the second half of the 18th century, with a history of more than 200 years. In the contemporary era, thanks to the increasingly frequent and in-depth exchanges between China and Germany at the official and private levels, German people have the opportunity to practice calligraphy, making the spread of calligraphy in Germany more three-dimensional and vivid. The way of calligraphy of the German young sinologist Kerya Kwachnak (Chinese name: Li Zhicheng) is one example. Li Zhicheng and Chinese calligraphy got involved in a Japanese ink painting training class. He wanted to take this opportunity to get new inspiration for painting, but he was introduced into the world of calligraphy by simple and rich black and white. In an interview, Li Zhicheng talked about the reasons why calligraphy fascinates him: First, calligraphy is simple and complex. The black and white tones and clear and powerful regular script strokes make it seem simple, but the huge number of Chinese characters and diverse calligraphy styles make calligraphy incredibly complex and difficult; Secondly, calligraphy contains all kinds of beauty, such as the beauty of regular script, cursive script, European style, and full body; Third, practicing calligraphy seems to be meditating, which can make people feel peaceful and happy, but it is also a challenge, because the writer will be ambitious, abide by the "dharma" of calligraphy, and try to understand and internalize the spirit of a single stroke, character or the whole poem, as well as the personality of the calligrapher. Li Zhicheng regards calligraphy as a mirror that can help him understand and perceive himself. He said: "There was a time when the first thing I did when I got up every day was to practice calligraphy. After just a few strokes, I could feel whether I was in good condition and could concentrate well. Calligraphy helped me organize my thoughts and make my life orderly. After that, I only needed to implement what I felt in the process of practicing calligraphy. It was my compass and roadmap, never lied to me, and always stayed with me when I needed it Edge. " In his article "Harry Potter" and Chinese Calligraphy "written in 2017, Li Zhicheng pointed out that just as Harry Potter was repeatedly placed in front of the mirror in the whole story to get some kind of self feedback, practicing calligraphy seems to be looking in the mirror, because the writer usually relaxes and focuses on writing, so as to obtain inner peace, and finally better understand and feel himself; According to psychology, people's regular reflection on their own behavior will strengthen their connection with themselves, and thus may be easier to grow into an ideal self. In view of the special background of the time when the brush was replaced by a hard pen, and the hard pen was replaced by a mobile phone and a computer, Hong Houtian, a contemporary calligrapher in China, clearly pointed out that this is instead an opportunity for calligraphy to rebirth from nirvana, because after the practicality of calligraphy has been completely stripped off, it is easier for us to actively pursue it as an independent art form. Li Zhicheng put forward his own views on the significance and value of calligraphy in the contemporary era from the perspective of human nature. He believes that the close integration of modern technology and life, on the one hand, provides us with a lot of convenience in life, but on the other hand, it also makes people more and more away from the sense of pleasure generated by doing things by themselves and not taking shortcuts to complete a task; When I studied calligraphy, I didn't improve my efficiency and
