Online Cultural Course PiVOTAL
It is said that characters consist of three elements: shape, sound, and meaning, which refer to the shape of the character, the sound it makes, and the meaning it indicates.
Within a single character (ideogram), these three elements are not evenly distributed, and they are constantly fluctuating in a state of tension. Changes in each have a strong impact on the others.
How do they affect words and poetry? How is the style of writing or printing related to words? By tracing the history of Chinese characters, I hope to consider the poetry and power of characters.
