There is too much water in calligraphy now. It seems that all calligraphers write with a brush. Too many people want to "innovate" calligraphy. I don't know that people who don't even know the most basic things of calligraphy still want to innovate. Learn cursive script if you can't write regular script well, and like dragon and phoenix dance. But I don't know that cursive script is blurred and regular script is deceitful! We have seen too many book fairs, and those who can't use ink also scribble in shades, draw ghost symbols and seek novelty.
I still want to keep those wonderful parts in my heart and learn from Ou Yangxun, Yan Zhenqing, Liu Gongquan, Zhao Mengfu, Wang Xizhi, Zhang Xu, Dong Qichang, Wang Wenzhi ... These are all recognized calligraphers in history. They have been beautiful for hundreds of years. Why don't we love these orthodox calligraphy?
The most important thing is not to lose your inner beauty. Let those who love affectation and weirdness go.
