Innovation requires reform, and reform requires pain! Thinking back to the time when Qin Shihuang unified the script into Xiaozhuan, without the innovation of Han Li, we would probably only be able to see Xiaozhuan dominate the world in our current character library. Official script has been leading the way for hundreds of years. Without the development of simplified chapters and slips, we might not have seen the cursive script, real script, and running script of the Jin and Tang Dynasties in the future. ? The innovation of calligraphy is currently facing two major embarrassments. First, the appreciation of calligraphy has formed a habitual pattern due to thousands of years of aesthetic penetration; and the current calligraphy association, which has an authoritative role in inheritance and development, shows a stubborn trend in thinking; Lead with inheritance, use the calligraphy of traditional famous artists as the aesthetic standard, and see which ancient family's path you are following before approving and evaluating it, otherwise you will just be wild and unable to join the mainstream. Second, calligraphy belongs to the category of ideology. Unlike in ancient times, if a scholar could not write well, he would not be able to pass the imperial examination and would not be able to find a way out. Literary people in today's society do not judge heroes by calligraphy. Brush calligraphy is dispensable. Calligraphy is only used as a recreational thing for art appreciation. Furthermore, the success of calligraphy innovation is not as immediate as a scientific experiment. The success of an experiment is not immediate. Effective. Innovation in calligraphy requires the establishment of innovative consciousness and the formation of a collective aura. It stands to reason that the current era should be the most active period of innovative creation. After the founding of New China, major reforms to simplify characters were implemented. For calligraphers, this background is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, which provides great opportunities for calligraphers to keep pace with the times. A stage to show off your skills. The development of the publishing industry has also made it possible to search for ancient works almost all over China. The calligraphy style of the predecessors can be clearly understood at a glance, creating conditions for an overall grasp. However, more than 60 years have passed since the reform of simplified Chinese characters. What is strange is that the mainstream characters in today's society, simplified Chinese characters, are rarely seen in the calligraphy circle, and almost none appear in calligraphy exhibition halls. On the contrary, during the Cultural Revolution, large-character posters appeared one after another but were short-lived; however, today there is still a place for them to be sold in small shops, but they have never been able to enter the art world of calligraphy creation. The reasons are of course multifaceted. New China's simplified character reform has completely subverted the traditional way of typesetting. It does have its limitations in terms of continuity of glyph writing, and it is even more of a challenge in terms of aesthetic habits. In fact, why is it not a challenge to have words engraved on a tripod and written on rice paper and to have words appear on a computer? How can it not be a subversion if seal script turns into official script and turns into real cursive script? The prosperity of ancient calligraphy was stimulated by the imperial examinations. The prosperity of contemporary calligraphy needs to be promoted by exhibition culture. In recent years, the calligraphy exhibitions co-organized by Zhongshu have been very active, which has played a positive role in the exchange and prosperity of calligraphy. However, the emphasis on the past and the neglect of the present have been very active. The direction is very obvious. If some calligraphy innovation exhibitions that keep pace with the times are held, it will be a promotion for the innovation of contemporary simplified character calligraphy; when everyone is aroused to devote themselves to the creation enthusiasm that keeps pace with the times, just imagine the emergence of brilliant contemporary simplified character calligraphy, and Echoing the various simplified characters of the Han Dynasty, contemporary calligraphy is full of practical significance. These calligraphy styles created by the ancients, and later generations have made their own interpretations of these fonts
