He Shilong was born in Fushun, Liaoning Province on May 28th, 2000. Because his father He Fengshun loved calligraphy, He Shilong was influenced by it since he was a child, and he studied calligraphy with his father at the age of three. Calligraphy really pays attention to talent. He Shilong is very talented. It's not easy for a child to get the Grade 5 certificate from China Art Examination Center at the age of seven. That is, by this time, He Shilong had become famous.
What really made him famous was that when he was eight years old, He Shilong walked into the National People's Congress Conference Center and gave a calligraphy performance on the spot. He has a deep foundation, and his calligraphy is nothing like that of an 8-year-old child. Moreover, a bow was drawn before writing, which caused quite a stir at the scene. The leaders of the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference spoke highly of it, and people from all walks of life took photos with He Shilong. At that time, He Shilong's name spread all over the country.
Since then, He Shilong has been accepted as a member of China Calligraphy Association, becoming the smallest member of China Calligraphy Association; He also wrote an inscription for the Beijing Primary School in Liulichang, Beijing, which has a cultural history of hundreds of years. There are three plaques in the school, one is from He Shilong, and the other two are inscribed by Mr. Qi Gong and Mr. Pu Jie respectively. This is the greatest honor given to He Shilong by Liulichang Primary School. The more famous He Shilong is, the more he appears in various cultural festivals. Many media reported that people from all walks of life came to the door to ask for words, and various enterprises discussed cooperation. Wang Wenxiang, president of the World Federation of Calligraphy and Painting Artists, praised He Shilong's calligraphy and accepted him as an apprentice. For a time, He Shilong became a superstar in calligraphy and was known as "contemporary Tang Bohu".
As He Shilong's fame soared, the price of his calligraphy rose. 1 1 year-old, He Shilong attended the New Year charity concert and waved the four characters "Love without borders" at the scene, which was taken away by Mao Daqing, the former vice president of Vanke, at the price of 1 1 10,000 yuan. 1 10000 is almost enough to buy a domestic car, which may be beyond the reach of many old calligraphers.
How is He Shilong today? The evaluation is not very good, maybe he got tired of fame and fortune too early. He Shilong has gone further and further on the road of calligraphy, and now he sells live words among online celebrities and mixes into the circle of live broadcast. It is said that art is most afraid of vulgarity. The original calligraphy prodigy didn't cultivate self-cultivation, so he continued to learn calligraphy and made higher achievements. Instead, he shouted "Send XX to write a few words" and "Thank you for your gift" on his mobile phone. No wonder many netizens lamented that he "hurt Zhong Yong" in the new era.
He Shilong has become like this, which always makes people feel a little sad. He started so high that he could have made a difference in calligraphy. Now, selling words live can be said to be a self-deprecating behavior. I dare say that his words may never be sold at the price of "four words 1 10000". No matter from the angle of art or business, the road he is taking now is the worst choice.
