Why do some people say that those who write on the construction site and practice calligraphy on the meat case don't write calligraphy?

First of all, we must figure out what calligraphy is. Calligraphy, in the abstract, is to write Chinese characters in a proper way; Simply put, it is writing with various writing tools. In my humble opinion, Chinese characters written with soft pen or hard pen can be called calligraphy as long as writing tools are used. China's calligraphy is a unique art with Chinese characters as the carrier. Calligraphy experts call writing Chinese characters calligraphy art, mainly because Chinese characters are exquisite. As we all know, after thousands of years of reform and evolution, Chinese characters have been continuously refined, resulting in Oracle Bone Inscriptions, seal script, official script, regular script, running script and cursive script.

In people's long-term writing process, each font has various forms and writing methods. Therefore, although writing Chinese characters, but because writing enthusiasts in the sea of Chinese characters, give full play to their talents and wisdom, the Eight Immortals across the ocean, each showing their magical powers, enjoy the ultimate interpretation and writing of Chinese characters in various fonts. Make Chinese characters present colorful and beautiful visual arts. Therefore, experts who are keen on studying and writing Chinese characters euphemistically call writing Chinese characters calligraphy and develop it into a unique art.

China's calligraphy is the art of writing, which is both practical and artistic. Therefore, in today's China, people from school-age children to centenarians can basically read and write, that is to say, they can write and appreciate calligraphy. China's calligraphy has been widely concerned and loved by Chinese people because it is not only practical and ornamental, but more importantly, it has extensive participation.

At present, netizens have different opinions on the definition of calligraphy. Even define a work as a pavilion, a work as a print, an ugly book, and a work as writing rather than calligraphy. Wait, wait, wait. In fact, this is a very ordinary calligraphy. There is no need to make it so unfathomable and fascinating. Calligraphy and writing are the same thing, there is no difference and there is no clear definition standard. In my opinion, it is incorrect and unscientific to distinguish between calligraphy and writing. I am also a calligraphy lover. I have participated in various calligraphy competitions many times and won some prizes. However, in every competition, there has never been a phenomenon that the judges of the competition define a certain entry as writing rather than calligraphy. Therefore, calligraphy is writing. Calligraphy is only the difference between the quality and level of works. As for the elements that should be possessed in calligraphy, such as brushwork, technique, ink color, composition and layout, they are applicable to the evaluation criteria of excellent grades of calligraphy works.

As for the question of writing on the construction site or writing on the meat case, my answer is simple. It must be written in calligraphy. Because writing calligraphy has never been restricted by the rules of the venue and environment. As long as there is paper and ink, you can write calligraphy anywhere. As long as the author's calligraphy level is high, he can write high-level calligraphy works in any environment.
