We write now, unlike in the past, mainly for practical purposes. Nowadays, people who write brush strokes are mainly for art and beauty. However, a work that can be called calligraphy contains many artistic elements, not just-
The same is true of the appreciation of calligraphy works. There are two pathological tendencies: one is that whoever has a big name must have a good work; The second is to think who is bluffing, hyping and breaking the news.
If you write hard, it sounds flashy. If you try something different when you write, whose work is good is actually not. The real value of calligraphy works needs a "time damping period". "Gold can only be seen when the sediment is washed away", that is to say, the value of the present work does not necessarily reflect the true value of the work. When the wind and waves rise, it is difficult to accurately measure the horizontal height of water. Some calligraphy works, which are not expensive at present, can be handed down as works of art and generate added value; Some now look at high prices, and the future may be a piece of waste paper with no preservation value. Buying and collecting calligraphy works is risky. There is only one way to reduce this risk: improve your ability to appreciate the art of calligraphy and know the truth with your eyes.
I think these discussions are quite enlightening. No matter who loves books, collectors or ordinary people who love ink, they can draw useful nutrients from them and even get a little peace. No matter from which angle, it is beneficial in short. In this noisy social atmosphere, it is a great blessing to have a little coolness, straighten your mind and calm down to correct your calligraphy mind.
