Which profession is closely related to the art of engraving and printing: book engraver.
The book engraver not only has exquisite skills, but also has noble personality charm. According to the Records of Shao's Hearings and Seeings: "The people of Chang'an are always at peace, and they make calligraphy as a profession. They collect many ink volumes of Sui and Tang inscriptions, and they can also seal characters." In the early days of Chongning, when Cai Jing was the prime minister, he wrote to the emperor to ask Yuan Sima Guang, a member of the Youdang Party, and others joined the party, carved stones and erected them at the gate of Wende Hall, and requested that "Yuanyou Party Stele" be engraved in every prefecture and county across the country.
Chang'an also needed to erect a monument, and the government summoned Chang Anmin to engrave it. He was unwilling to do such an immoral thing, so the government wanted to punish him. Chang Anmin did not dare to resign from this job, so he requested that his name not be engraved at the end of the stone tablet. Therefore, his moral character was widely praised by scholar-bureaucrats.
Calligraphers and calligraphy:
A person who writes well may not necessarily be called a calligrapher. Some are just a "booksmith" and a "writer". That is, they all only have a body, but no thoughts of their own, good handwriting, no thoughts of their own, and no temperament of their own. Therefore, it cannot be called "home", and the biggest difference between "home" and "craftsman" is here.
Things that can be copied are worthless. Even high-tech mobile phones and computers are worthless. Things such as Rodin, Van Gogh, and Picasso are valuable because they cannot be copied. Liancheng.
A philosopher said: "The only thing that can be preserved forever is art." On the other hand, only art can be preserved forever. The difference between the art of calligraphy that cannot be copied and the art of calligraphy that can be copied is that this. Both writing and calligraphy reflect beauty, but their realms are different. The former is practical beauty, while the latter is artistic beauty.
