I often hear some contemporary regular script masters discussing Tian Yingzhang’s calligraphy and discussing his calligraphy. When commenting on Tian Yingzhang’s regular script, the most common words I hear are “ordinary” and “not good”. I want to learn European regular script. . Or you may want to practice integrating the "Jiuchenggong" of the predecessors in the running script of the Tang Dynasty. When the "Jiuchenggong" of the running script is the European style, there is certainly nothing wrong with learning it, and indeed I insist that "Learn the European style" Just learn from Jiucheng Palace." This sounds irrefutable.
But in reality, how many people can pick up the original post of Ouyang Xun's "Jiucheng Palace" and write it? Can ordinary beginners understand it? Do they all have the time and energy to find a calligraphy teacher? Not everyone needs to be a calligrapher. Most learners may just play with it occasionally. There is no need to be so nervous and criticize when they see "Er Tian". This is why Tian Yingzhang is so popular and has so many fans. He does. The above problems are solved to a certain extent.
A primary school student or a middle school student is about to take an exam. He hopes to improve his writing ability by learning calligraphy despite the intense schoolwork, thereby forming a good writing habit and improving your exam papers. , to improve his score a little, don’t you want him to start studying from Wang Xizhi’s “Preface to the Holy Religion” and “Huang Ting Jing”? Do you want to hand over a problem that even professional calligraphers have studied for decades to a primary school student? This is obviously unrealistic in terms of study and examination.
What we can do is to find a modern regular script copywriter who is beautiful, easy and easy to understand, and let him practice a few hours a week according to a certain method, so that he can improve his writing skills and be able to write beautiful Calligraphy is their task, and learning Wang Xizhi and Bingzi is the task of calligraphers. Maybe one day they like calligraphy, and it is not too late to practice their craft. Not everyone can become a calligrapher. In fact, when they really want to become calligraphers, they will naturally learn the classic works of ancient masters such as Wang Xizhi, Yan Zhenqing, Ouyang Xun, Zhang Xu, Huaisu, Su Dongpo and so on.
