Dong Haowen's evaluation
As for Dong Haowen's calligraphy level, we should also look at it with a rational eye. On the one hand, his imitation of celebrity calligraphy and painting may have moral and legal problems, but from an artistic point of view, Dong Haowen has a gift for calligraphy. At first, Dong Haowen took Liu Yao as his teacher and studied calligraphy creation with him. As for why he made a public statement to sever the relationship between master and apprentice, Dong Haowen himself said: "I admit that Liu Yao was my former teacher, and I also kowtowed and drank." But at that time I was young and didn't have enough contacts. Later, I met Mr. Jing Xianghai, Mr. Wang and Mr. Li. Their names and calligraphy are hundreds of times better than Liu's. I am very straightforward, and I want to say that they are my teachers when I promote them. I don't think it's illegal to do so. The reason why he wrote an article questioning Liu Yao's calligraphy level is because he went astray and wanted to make a fortune by calligraphy and set up his own organization. What association? At that time, many of my other disciples who worshipped Liu Yao as their teacher announced their separation from Liu Yao's mentoring relationship. I think they are obscene and dare not say it directly, but I dare say it. "The author of Dong Haowen's above remarks can't agree, but at least it can be seen that he is a child, very straightforward, dare to say and dare to do, and is a post-90 s calligraphy enthusiast with more personality and style.
