This is a bit beyond people's imagination, but this god-like watchmaker has actually achieved such a seemingly magical and almost impossible thing. In this regard, some experts pointed out that this is meaningless, and it can be said that it is a waste of wax for the blind to light a lamp.
The watch repairer is called Yan Shuilong. He didn't go to college, but that didn't prevent him from having a deep love for calligraphy. He likes calligraphy since he was a child. He practices calligraphy when he is free. Even when others are having a good time, he still tries to practice calligraphy.
So he persisted until he was engaged in repairing watches. We know that this watch repair industry is different from other industries, and the requirements for strength are very high. After all, watches are precision instruments and need very good eyesight. In the eyes of ordinary people, this may not be necessarily related to calligraphy, but in his world, the two are subtly related.
More than 30 years ago, Lao Yan boldly tried to enlarge the words with a magnifying glass to write calligraphy. Coupled with the old Yan who has been engaged in the watch repair industry for a long time, he has no vision. Therefore, he made a name for himself on the road of micro-writing. Perhaps this is what people often say.
However, the ancient and strict case of flying heads is more nuanced than people's cognition. He wrote the fine print like a grain of rice to 0.8 mm, which is great. It won the Guinness World Record.
In this way, Lao Yan's reputation in calligraphy is endless. People are afraid of fame and criticism. Lao Yan's micro-books are flourishing, and experts also have incisive comments on his calligraphy. Experts believe that Lao Yan's calligraphy is boring, and the blind light a candle in vain. The blind man lit a lamp, which was unnecessary.
Why do you say that? The limitations of the blind determine that the blind can't hope that candles can bring light. Despite great efforts, it was all in vain.
Why do experts say that? In the opinion of experts, the most important thing to inherit the traditional calligraphy culture is orderly inheritance. Calligraphy has two extremes, one is huge, the other is tens of meters high, but can big characters represent superb level? Actually, it is not. On the other hand, being as small as a grain of rice does not mean being superb.
These are two extremes, which are not conducive to the normal inheritance of calligraphy. Although these two forms are not "ugly books", in the final analysis, they are biased. So experts will worry that it is boring and it is futile for the blind to light a lamp.
As a watchmaker, Lao Yan can write calligraphy to 0.8 mm What does this mean? What can small letters like rice grains stand for? Time will leave answers to these questions. Real calligraphy, such as Qi Gong, Wu Yuru and others, should pay attention to the connotation of calligraphy, not the form and form.
On the contrary, this is not conducive to the development of calligraphy, and it will make calligraphy go astray. Therefore, the expert's words still have some truth. What do you think of the expert's words? What do you think of the fine print like Lao Yan Fan?
