For the ancient art of calligraphy, observing the excellent works of the ancients or predecessors can change our understanding of calligraphy from the inside, just as a ship with sufficient horsepower needs navigation lights to guide it along the right route to the end, so does calligraphy.
Visiting the calligraphy exhibition can improve the level in two aspects: observing some excellent works from the perspective of calligraphy skills can help some unskilled writers find their own shortcomings through comparison and make up for their own shortcomings with the advantages of exhibits; Secondly, from the perspective of calligraphy style, a wide variety of works in calligraphy exhibitions often have different styles and full of charm. When your skills are polished to a certain extent, you can form your own style and let your calligraphy work reach a new height. Because only by being well informed can we achieve a unique career. Without a lot of reference and understanding, how to improve and innovate yourself?
On the other hand, if you don't visit many excellent calligraphy exhibitions, you will lose the finish line with the marathon and keep running, but you don't know where to return. Hard work is a necessary condition to improve one's calligraphy level, but it is not a sufficient condition. Learning excellent works and understanding the meaning of other people's calligraphy works in the process of visiting the exhibition will bring about the improvement of one's own thoughts and the accumulation of knowledge. When the accumulation of thoughts reaches a critical value, a person's calligraphy works will also usher in a qualitative leap.
Therefore, visiting the calligraphy exhibition can undoubtedly improve the level of calligraphy, but it needs to be supplemented by practical exercises to promote its own progress. In other words, it is impossible to learn excellent works just by visiting exhibitions, just like greatly improving your calligraphy level.
