纸发明前汉字书写受到很大限制,没有纸的承载就不可能形成独特的中国书法艺术。纸的发明和生产极大的方便了汉字书写,成就了众多传统书法精品和书法名人,特别是以宣纸为代表的手工纸的发明和生产为中国书法提供了独特的艺术依托。 Before the invention of Chinese characters, the writing of paper was greatly restricted. Without the bearing of paper, it was impossible to form a unique Chinese calligraphy art. The invention and production of paper have greatly facilitated the writing of Chinese characters, resulting in many traditional calligraphy and calligraphy celebrities. In particular, the invention and production of handmade paper represented by Xuan paper provided unique artistic support for Chinese calligraphy.
