Kang Zhen, a famous contemporary scholar, was born in Shaanxi and graduated from Shaanxi Normal University. Kang Zhen is a famous contemporary cultural scholar, and now he is a professor and doctoral supervisor at the College of Literature of Beijing Normal University. Kang Zhen's main research field is China's ancient literature and poetry.
When Kang Zhen was a doctor, he studied under Mr. Huo, a famous classical literature researcher, literary theorist, calligrapher and poet. I wonder if Kang Zhen's calligraphy is enlightened at this time.
In addition to literary studies, Kang Zhen's calligraphy and painting have always been praised. As can be seen from Kang Zhen's calligraphy, he is a man with outstanding knowledge and good writing style, and his calligraphy contains a strong literati atmosphere. The ancients said that "there are poems in the belly and books to flatter oneself", which can also reflect people's character in calligraphy and is also a good performance.
Compared with professional calligraphers, Kang Zhen's calligraphy has a great gap in brushwork, structure and composition, but some calligraphers can't have the literati atmosphere revealed by pen and ink. Ouyang Xiu said, "People in ancient times could write." In ancient times, literati and calligraphy were inseparable, and literati could not gain fame if they wrote badly.
Mr. Kang's works are like his writing style, art like his soul, and literary mind of carving and chewing. His calligraphy, perhaps written by full-time professionals, will be called celebrity calligraphy, which is the biggest shortcoming of all calligraphers and the result of routine, difficulty and boredom. And Kang Zhen's words, unpretentious, naturally follow the heart, able to bear or endure look.
