A Study on the Differences and Exchange Status of Chinese and Arabic Calligraphy under Different Cultural Backgrounds

Abstract

Since the introduction of Arabic calligraphy into China, the cultural exchanges between China and Arab countries have gradually become closer. Studying the differences between the two and the characteristics of integration and communication can have a certain impact on the innovation of calligraphy and the development of Sino-Arab relations. This paper takes the differences and communication characteristics of Chinese and Arabic calligraphy as the research object and uses the method of comparative analysis and literature reading to explore the different cultural backgrounds and calligraphy characteristics of the two. First of all, the different development backgrounds of Chinese and Arab calligraphy are the starting point, to understanding the mystery, and indirectly analying their closeness from the differences in several dimensions. Through the research results, it’s find that the differences between Chinese and Arabic calligraphy are mainly reflected in the way of writing characters, writing tools, style differences, and service objects. From this, it can be seen that although they were born in different backgrounds, social functions, and expressive meanings are different, but art has no borders. The two can infiltrate and influence each other in modern times by the development of the times, creating new artistic crystallizations.
