Second? Calligraphy has no color. Calligraphy is completely expressed by the "word" of the basic element. It is completely expressed by the "word" that everyone knows. Structure, font and strokes are the basic rules for owning a word. If we want to make a breakthrough, we must have certain norms and articles of association. Even if it is cursive, if you don't pay attention to the strokes, the meaning of the word will be completely changed, and it will be another word. Therefore, we should show colorless calligraphy in the whole space, let people see that it should be a kind of beautiful enjoyment, and feel the unique temperament, connotation, emotion and creativity of a calligrapher. How difficult it is for calligraphy to do this.
Third? Calligraphy art is a symbol of China culture. Inherited for thousands of years, Oracle Bone Inscriptions, Zhong Ding, Shigu, Dazhuan, Xiaozhuan, Han bamboo slips, Wei Bei, regular script, running script and cursive script are all advancing and evolving. But no matter how it evolves, the font, structure and construction of Chinese characters always run through a main line. The evolution of hieroglyphics, the evolution of image thinking and the re-creation of the beauty of hieroglyphics, but the characters themselves still exist forever. Anyone who knows Chinese characters knows the strokes of glyphs, a word that more than one billion people can read, and a word that everyone can recognize. It is not easy for us calligraphers to express the beauty, connotation, emotion and interest of a word. Until now, some people have shown our Chinese characters in the form of paintings, and expressed them with the content and image of the meaning of the words. As a result, the painting was understood and the words did not exist. The original structure of this word is gone. Can you say this is the creation of calligraphy? The conclusion is: no.
Fourth? The expressive force of calligraphy is the most difficult art among all graphic arts. Because of its single expression, it is not an overnight thing to enrich, seek connotation, pursue beauty and express one's feelings in a single expression. Without long-term training, rich artistic accomplishment, good basic skills, expressive force of graphic art and artistic foundation of thinking in images, there is no way to show the unique artistic charm of calligraphy.
Fifth? The beauty of calligraphy, font, structure, style, content, personality, mood, thought, will and emotion can all be reflected in the whole writing. Only in this way can calligraphy be truly and perfectly expressed, and it can be called calligraphy art, and only writers can be called calligraphers. Otherwise, so many calligraphers.
Sixth? There are many calligraphers worth learning in ancient times. But not every ancient calligraphy is our unified model, and we can learn and imitate it. At that time, the works of art embodied in the dynasty, in our view today, there are many calligraphy works that can not be repeated. The works written by calligraphers at that time were completely different from the status, situation, mood and emotion of calligraphers at that time. So now, no matter what calligraphy everyone, it is impossible to write Yan Zhenqing's "Sacrifice to a Nephew" with the same grief and indignation. I can never write Wang Xizhi's Preface to the Lanting Pavilion, which is so leisurely and talented. The reason is that our current calligraphy should keep pace with the times. To reflect the style of the times. We should not blindly pursue ancient meaning and "idols", but have our own style of the new era.
Seventh? There is no shortcut to calligraphy. Now some "calligraphers" are taking shortcuts, thinking that writing about calligraphers in the Qing Dynasty can produce results. Because people didn't pay attention to things in the past, they picked them up and showed them, thinking they could succeed. Now we can see that there are many "calligraphers" who don't learn basic skills at all and can't write regular script, so they pick up a pen to write running script and cursive script. I have always thought that as long as everyone can't understand it, it is the art of calligraphy. Now there are many "calligraphers", just like singers, who can only sing one song, and always sing this "famous song" anywhere and write this word on any occasion. Nothing else. Is this a "calligrapher"?
Eighth? Calligraphy art is actually a comprehensive art, which is a collection of Chinese characters, ancient poems, aesthetics, composition, structure, composition, cultivation, emotion, will and mind of calligraphy itself. It is by no means a pure art, and the art of calligraphy can embody a musical sense of rhythm and an artistic sense of plane beauty. Can express a person's feelings. You can see a person's character and temperament. It can give people an incentive, a strength and a happiness. Can bring a realm to people. Therefore, the charm of calligraphy art can be continued and passed down from ancient times to the present, which is where calligraphy art lies.
