First, different preferences are the world. Needless to say, people and calligraphers have different views on a work. Even within the calligraphy circle, it is impossible for calligraphers of different factions to agree on a work. People's preferences, in addition to natural intuitive senses, the acquired growth environment also has a great influence. For example, a person who practices regular script since childhood will measure a calligraphy work from the aspects of strokes, bends and so on, and this measure is derived from regular script; A person who has been exposed to cursive works since childhood will not understand the evaluation criteria of the previous person. Calligraphy works have different standards of measurement in my mind, and of course the evaluation is different. This measurement dimension originated from my heart can never be unified, just as Qin Shihuang unified the measurement of six countries.
Second, there is specialization in the technical field, and the difference between amateur and professional leads to different evaluations. People have many opportunities to get in touch with calligraphy works in their daily lives. In addition to choosing a beautiful calligraphy work to hang in the hall on holidays, the place where they can meet calligraphy works is the museum. With less contact, the appreciation of calligraphy has only a simple visual impact, that is, people usually think that calligraphy works are written in a big way, using a lot of ink, and look alike? Magnificent? The work is good, after all, it gives people the most vivid first impression. Calligraphers, on the other hand, deal with their peers and pen and ink day and night, focusing on the characteristics of their works. Works that try their best to express their personal style will be regarded as masterpieces by them, which is why it is difficult for ordinary people to understand the artist's thinking.
When calligraphy works are exhibited, you often see a lot? Ghost painting? , seems to be a calligrapher? Doing nothing? In fact, the meaning expressed in the works is what distinguishes calligraphers from ordinary people. When we ordinary people disagree with the calligrapher's point of view, the first thing to do is not to argue, but to spy and know why.
