turns and has a classic vertical direction which expresses the almost
optimal movement of handwriting due to the theory of probability. The
Chinggis Khaan’s stele (inscribed Monument) which was writing around
1224 is an ancient memento, a memory at the same time as well as a
monument and a very rare subject of research and studies regarding the
Mongolian Calligraphy. On the Stone Sutra Chinggis Khaan’s stele one can
observe the relations of the sky and the Earth, the row supporting special
principle fo letters and words and the subject of respect and admiration.
The artistry peculiarity, different writing style and forms like print
style, hand written, folded etc. and the kind of usage of bamboo pen and
stamps were studied continuously, spreaded and developed further. In this
modern time promotion of not only the calligraphy research and study but
also to development of the Mongolian Calligraphy in accordance with the
oriental philosophy, agitating music, beautiful poetry, art painting etc.
is extremely necessary as well as the use of this special art of different
consumer goods in order to make clear the national peculiar tradition. |
