Can't ordinary people write calligraphy? Look at the Han bamboo slips thousands of years ago. They are lively and interesting.

What do Juyan Han bamboo slips refer to? It refers to the Han bamboo slips unearthed in the ancient Juyan area of Ejina Valley in northern Gansu. These bamboo slips are daily practical documents, so they can be written freely, not as dignified and rigorous as inscriptions, and can better reflect the writer's temperament. The ancient Juyan area is a place for reclaiming land and guarding the border, so these bamboo slips involve politics, military affairs, daily life and other aspects. Notes on the bamboo slips of Juyan calendar: In October of the fifth year, Yong Guang guarded a pawn and injured an ox and cart in and out of Bojianzhao in October. In September of the second year, the official entered the government in the first month, which was better than that in the first year, and the official wife entered the customs, which led to the establishment of a house in April of the fifth year. The official's calligraphy in the official folder is bamboo slips unearthed in Juyan since May of the second year. As mentioned above, these bamboo slips unearthed in Juyan are all daily practical documents, so is this still calligraphy? The person who wrote it is not a famous calligrapher. Is this okay ... is this kind of daily writing considered art? Yes Art is very subjective, so it cannot be recognized by the public. There are no calligraphers in the world, but there are more people who like to write, and naturally they have a home. "Juyan Han bamboo slips are not the work of one person, so there are many styles and forms of words inside. Looking at it with appreciation, there are still many interesting places. The strokes are round and smooth and evenly distributed, so the font is also very clear. This is a very basic requirement and it is beautifully written. Children write, why can't many of them write well? One is patience, and the other is that there is too much homework and time is tight, so I don't want to write it neatly. So there are the following bamboo slips (joking). Although writing is a little simpler, there are still some controls on pens and glyphs. In One Piece, I especially like the long vertical scroll on the left, which makes me feel very comfortable. This sudden long pen is not uncommon in Han bamboo slips (see Figure 2), and it is also an emotional or artistic expression in the daily writing process. This kind of treatment is common in the creation of running script and cursive script. Finally, from the masses to the masses, it is often said that art comes from life and is higher than life. By analogy, calligraphy originates from writing and is higher than writing. So I often see words like "You write, not calligraphy". So are ordinary people writing calligraphy? Is it art? What about art and calligraphy?
