【第一期·汉字演艺】
在全球化的今天，我们在世界各地看到越来越多汉字的身影,也许你无法理解它的含义，但仍然能感受到这些符号散发出的独特文化魅力。
一个方块字就是一片天地。太初有字，于是汉族的心灵，祖先的回忆和希望便有了寄托。这些有性格的方块字不仅记载着中华民族的历史，更包含着中国人特有的思维方式。
“汉字演艺”通过中央美术学院师生雕塑作品，探索汉字作为一种新的视觉资源，在世界文化图景中的姿态与活力。
In the process of globalization, there are more and more Chinese written characters appearing outside China. Even if you do not understand what these characters mean, you still can be fascinated by Chinese culture within the symbols.
No wonder people say: each Chinese written character makes a world. These pictographic characters show Han people"s (the largest ethnic group of Chinese nation) spirit, keep their memories and hope.
Not only the Chinese written characters record the history of the nation, they present the way of their thinking. Each stroke carries the key to unlock the mystery of Chinese written characters.
No matter how much progress Chinese characters have made over the past thousands of years, one thing never change: the combination of a component(s) plus a radical to make a character.
6000 years ago, written characters appeared in different parts of the world. But most of them have lost in history. Only Chinese characters, which are still dynamic after several thousand years of use, still function as cultural symbols for people to trace, comprehend and to enjoy.
After several thousand years of evolution, Chinese characters are more than just written characters for communication purpose or a form of traditional art as we enjoy in calligraphy. Instead, they have become a new visual resource. They are new blood in dynamic Chinese civilization, and a new eye-catching image of contemporary art. We can proudly say they have already injected vigor and vitality into world culture nowadays.
