Calligraphy is a form of written expression in our country, and it is also a cultural treasure nurtured by our country’s five thousand years of culture. For many of us, we have been exposed to calligraphy since childhood, and we are relatively familiar with calligraphy. But few of us think about the practicality and artistry of calligraphy. Perhaps many of us will unanimously say that the artistry of calligraphy is more important and ignore the practicality of calligraphy. But in fact, the practicality of calligraphy is also something we need to think about. After all, this is also the meaning of the existence of calligraphy.
For many people, calligraphy is more about artistry and is more important. I also hold this view, because calligraphy has been regarded as an art in our country since ancient times, especially at that time. Ancient people all wrote calligraphy with calligraphy, so it was more necessary to pay more attention to the artistry to make it pleasing to the eye. This is why calligraphers like Wang Xizhi and Huang Tingjian are still remembered by us and we learn from their calligraphy. They have made outstanding contributions to the artistry of calligraphy and added color to our Chinese culture.
But we cannot ignore the practicality of calligraphy, especially for some people, calligraphy is a tool for making a living. The more practical the calligraphy written, the easier it will be to win people's favor. So you can earn a certain amount of money through calligraphy. This is a very real problem that almost everyone who studies calligraphy has to face. Should they choose the practicality of calligraphy or the artistry of calligraphy? Different calligraphers will make different choices, but in the end Still have to return to the artistry of calligraphy.
Whether it is artistry or practicality, it is a characteristic of calligraphy. For each of us, we not only need to pay attention to the artistry of calligraphy, but also need to think about the practicality of calligraphy. This will be helpful to our innovation in calligraphy style and can also bring new vitality to calligraphy.
