Here we mainly explain the calligraphers of Chinese characters. Generally speaking, works that can be called calligraphers are recognized by the public and recognized by mainstream aesthetic viewpoints. Of course, there is a discipline called art appreciation. These people think that whose work is good will be good. The truth between this must be self-evident.
Calligraphy is a native art of China. In ancient times, it was one of the four arts of chess, calligraphy and painting. Because Chinese characters are ideograms, they can also be understood as advanced versions of hieroglyphics. The combined structure of the strokes constitutes a single Chinese character, which gives it a more beautiful shape compared with the characters of other ethnic groups. Due to the structural rules and structural methods of Chinese characters, various forms of artistic beauty are displayed when writing, creating different structural features to reflect the beauty of Chinese characters.
From the Qin and Han Dynasties to the present, quite a few calligraphy works have been created, recognized and praised. Of course, the relevant supporting theoretical systems have also been continuously improved during this development process, and it has become a mature art category.
First of all, let’s look at the innovation of contemporary calligraphers compared to the past era when a hundred flowers bloomed. Most of them copied their works from the schools of many ancient calligraphy masters, and then developed their own unique calligraphy aesthetics. At present, it is difficult for people to reach the level of Wang Xizhi to appear. After all, there are no authentic works of Wang Xizhi handed down from generation to generation. What we see are all copied by later generations. Even if it is a copy, it is difficult for anyone to surpass it.
Most of the people who are praised as calligraphers have been recognized by most people, or have been evaluated by a review organization (a group of people who can’t write well, but can speak the truth). A man of honor.
As an art form, calligraphy has the attributes of being appreciated and evaluated. Art itself has mixed opinions and is something that everyone thinks differently. Therefore, calligraphy cannot escape this theory when it is appreciated and recognized. Whoever you think is a calligrapher is the one. After all, it’s your perspective of appreciation. Just like abstract art for so many years, I can't see where it is reflected.
