1 Did you pass the calligraphy test?
Calligraphy art test is the most difficult in art. If it is painting, if you have talent, you may be admitted to one of the best art colleges in China after studying for one year. But the basic skills of calligraphy for a year or two are basically hopeless, even if you have this talent. Of course, if you want to get into a bad school, you can still do it. Calligraphy art test needs talent and diligence. There is a calligraphy teacher in my university who practiced for several hours every day in higher vocational colleges and insisted on being admitted to the calligraphy department of China Academy of Fine Arts for three years. This is a small miracle.
Of course, he is also gifted. It can be seen from his graduation as a university teacher to joining the China Calligraphy Association that all this was done before the age of 30. This is a very young age among calligraphers. In this day and age, it is rare that a piece can sell for about 5,000 yuan per square foot. Take this example, that is to say, even if you are gifted, you need to accumulate basic skills for many years.
