Can you become a calligrapher by practicing calligraphy every day?

Now there are two kinds of opinions about calligraphy, one is declining, and the other is flourishing. When we talk about prosperity, we mean that there are many people writing. Many people think that calligraphy can sell money as long as they can write, so they switched to writing. For example, some people who used to be engaged in economics, medicine and philosophy switched to writing and found it more comfortable and enjoyable to write a few words. So, is this prosperity a good thing or a bad thing? I think this is a bad thing. Because for a society, many medical and philosophical workers are needed. Calligraphers are also needed, but one or two is enough.

Zhao Yi, who wrote "non-cursive script" in the Han Dynasty, once expressed the view that writing calligraphy well is not good for the country and has nothing to do with local governance, so it is unnecessary to make great efforts. In fact, anyone should write well, but once he becomes a calligrapher, it will be a tragedy for the whole era. In economic construction, the more people, the better. For calligraphy, we don't need so many people to write.

At that time, Zheng Zhenduo and other people of insight strongly opposed the establishment of the Calligraphers Association, on the grounds that everyone should understand calligraphy and there was no need to establish an association. Now, not only the China Book Association has been established, but it also stands side by side with the Artists Association, which has caused great waste.

Nowadays, many people practice calligraphy every day, but there are hundreds of thousands and millions of people in China who are called "calligraphers". So, this is how calligraphy is practiced? Can you become a calligrapher by practicing calligraphy every day? Calligraphy, in my opinion, is just a path and a small skill, but it needs support from many sides. You just can't learn well without considerable temperament.

Skills can be practiced in half a day, which is easier said than done. And our calligraphy should not only talk about skills, but also talk about skills. Always work hard on skills, and you will go astray. To write well, skills must be combined with temperament, grace and knowledge. Nowadays, many people don't read books, newspapers, care about state affairs, have no ink in their chests, and are stingy in writing words.

Wu Guanzhong's calligraphy is not called calligraphy at all, but a layman's nonsense, which confuses the boundaries between calligraphy and painting. If China's calligraphy develops in this direction, it will be finished. He put a lot of effort into western colors. Has he ever worked hard for China's unique calligraphy in the world? How to do it without hard work? What if there is no technology? I just want to be a generation of calligraphers and create a generation of ethos. Fantasy can only be a laughing stock. Wu Guanzhong's words can only make people who want to make money happy and make people in the art world sad. To be beautiful, art can't be without the most basic things.
