盤點(diǎn)：中國十大突出壯舉

Calligraphy

書法

Calligraphy in China is an art form, a meditative practice, a scholarly pursuit and, nowadays, an investment.

書法在中國是一種藝術(shù)形式，用以修身養(yǎng)性，追求學(xué)術(shù)。如今，它還成為一種不錯(cuò)的投資方式。

With a rich tradition of calligraphy tracing back thousands of years, China reveres the works on paper by great masters, as well as the experimental new media calligraphic works of contemporary artists.

書法已經(jīng)有幾千年的悠久歷史，中國人崇拜書法大師的紙上作品，當(dāng)代藝術(shù)家也在實(shí)驗(yàn)著新媒體書法項(xiàng)目。

At auction, these calligraphic artworks routinely fetch millions of dollars, collected by connoisseurs around the world, such as the paper scroll "Gong Fu Tie," which sold for $8.2 million at Sotheby's New York in September 2013. The ancient work was written by the famous poet Su Shi and consists of just nine characters.

在拍賣會(huì)上，這些書法作品經(jīng)常賣到數(shù)百萬美元，為世界各地的鑒賞家收藏。如書法長卷“功甫帖”(Gong Fu Tie)，2013年9月在紐約蘇富比拍賣行(Sotheby's New York)以820萬美元的價(jià)格拍出。它是古代著名詩人蘇軾所寫的作品，只有9個(gè)字。
