There are four main aesthetic standards of calligraphy.

The four main points of the aesthetic standard of calligraphy are:

1, you are in nature, don't pack books. It's like dressing up alone. Must be moderate, not excessive. Generally, works that put on airs and deliberately show off are inferior.

2. Observe the calligraphy method and avoid excessive displacement and deformation. Calligraphy art takes Chinese characters as the carrier, and the calligraphy method is standardized and rigorous. Must not be confused at will. It's like a person's five senses. You can't move it for the sake of novelty, otherwise it will be unrecognizable and become a ghost. Especially cursive script, cursive calligraphy is very standardized, and mistakes will be made if you don't pay attention to it, and typos are the taboo of calligraphy works.

3, innovation, avoid non-characters, non-painting Chinese characters, although it has experienced a development process from pictographic to abstract, but calligraphy as an abstract line art has a history of more than 2,000 years. We can't take "returning to the original" as an excuse to classify non-word, non-painting, semi-word and semi-painting works into the category of calligraphy innovation. Such works may be art, but they are by no means calligraphy.

4, clever use of pen and ink, avoid playing tricks. The ancients attached great importance to using ink, and some made good use of thick ink. For example, Liu Yong in the Qing Dynasty used thick ink, with a strong and unique appearance, and was known as the "Prime Minister of Thick Ink"; Some people make good use of light ink, such as Wang Wenzhi in Qing Dynasty, who paid attention to the ink method and showed people with light ink. His books are simple, naive and natural. Therefore, it is known as "exploring flowers with light ink". Some make good use of pen and ink, such as Wang Duo in Ming Dynasty. When ink is used, it will drip. Once printed, the paper is dripping with ink, attractive and generous.
