Mr. Tian Yingzhang said that Mr. Zhong Shi's Peking Opera is better than his calligraphy. If that's the case, then why can't Mr. Zhong Shi's reputation in Quyi be made public? If Mr. Zhong Shi's calligraphy is lower than that of Peking Opera, then why is he a great master and master on a par with Mr. Qi Gong in today's book world?
Tian Yingzhang said that Mr Ouyang Zhongshi's knowledge of calligraphy theory is better than his calligraphy skills. This is even more puzzling. As we all know, Mr Zhong Shi is an ordinary professor in the capital.
As a professor, having rich knowledge of calligraphy theory is the most basic. However, Mr. Zhong Shi is also a master in the book industry, and his technology is absolutely beyond our reach. I feel like saying that Lang Lang's piano knowledge is better than his calligraphy skills.
Tian Yingzhang said that Ouyang Zhongshi compared himself to Peking Opera. The art of Peking Opera is higher than calligraphy, and the knowledge of calligraphy is higher than skill! So how does Mr. Wang evaluate Tian's family? There are poems as evidence: three writers of father and son, four calligraphers of two generations of brothers. This evaluation should be very high!
In life, almost every city can see a plaque engraved with the words Zhong Shi. On the internet, the most common thing is that Mr. Ouyang Zhongshi looks helpless and holds a photo of his work and The Word Seeker in his hand.
It can be said that the influence of Mr. Ouyang Zhongshi's calligraphy is everywhere. There seems to be a long-standing conclusion about Mr. Ouyang Zhongshi's artistic achievements, which can be seen from his title as a master of books. Even Mr. Tian Yingzhang, who always likes to criticize other calligraphers, gave a thumbs-up and praised Ouyang Zhongshi for his first-class calligraphy in contemporary China and being a great scholar.
As a well-known artist, of course, you can't create some public opinion from time to time to maintain exposure like an entertainment star. As the artists of the older generation, everyone wants to enjoy quiet quietly. Naturally, few people stand up and face these criticisms and doubts directly, so many criticisms and doubts are constantly fermenting.
Although some people stand up and refute it, it often backfires and hits people when they are down. In any case, I believe everyone hopes that China's calligraphy will develop better and better, instead of constantly adding fuel to the flames for personal preference or joining in the fun, discussing art, trying to be objective and rational, and discussing and communicating with a scientific and dialectical attitude, instead of escalating into unreasonable abuse and personal attacks.
Mr. Ouyang Zhongshi should be regarded as a rare genius in contemporary times. First of all, like Mr. Qi Gong, he is also a rigorous and knowledgeable scholar and a great scholar. As far as I know, his major is logic. As for his achievements and level in logic, I don't know much. But his hobbies: Peking Opera and calligraphy, are by no means excellent, not average, but professional.
