Calligraphers are people who are good at calligraphy, have the ability to write Chinese characters and push Chinese characters to the artistic level. Simply put, it is an artist who mainly creates calligraphy, or a person who is proficient in calligraphy. Such as Wang Xizhi, whose representative is Preface to Lanting; Yan Zhenqing, the representative is "Sacrifice to the Nephew"; Mi Fei, represented by Shu Sutie, etc.
As far as modern calligraphers are concerned, although calligraphers associations at all levels are mass organizations in nature, they are all official organizations in everyone's understanding. So after joining the Calligraphers Association, I became an authoritative "calligrapher".
If you join the Calligraphers Association, you can automatically become a member of the Calligraphers Association as long as your works win two calligraphy exhibitions sponsored by the Calligraphers Association. It's easier said than done. You can set a lower goal first. Start with calligraphers at the district and county levels. If you feel that you have the strength and ability, you can go directly to the national exhibition and become the highest-level "calligrapher".
In addition to this semi-official practice, there is also a doorway that can be easily made into a "calligrapher." This is a completely personal approach. Set up a college by yourself. Try to speak louder. For example, what calligraphy research institute, what calligraphy art museum and so on. The names of your entire dean, dean, president and chairman. With the professional title, the title of "calligrapher" naturally came into being.
The last road is also the most difficult one. Calligraphers should not only hone their calligraphy skills, but also read widely, cultivate their self-cultivation and increase their knowledge. In addition to calligraphy, people who have their own main businesses and made outstanding contributions in literature, history, military affairs, politics, education, agriculture, industry and commerce, music, medicine, science and technology, art and other fields are real calligraphers!
