The remarkable feature of Six Books and a Half is that it combines several books in one furnace, with diverse forms, rich brushwork, coherent charm and coordinated layout, giving people a strange and fresh feeling. But it also has its shortcomings, that is, the melting temperature is not enough, and there are slight "hard inclusions" and "artificial" gases. Of course, it's not perfect. It's normal to have shortcomings. There is no shortage of gold. Regardless of criticism and fairness, Zheng Banqiao's writing style is as strange as his painting style. Please note that the "singularity" here is not absurd and crazy, but a "singularity" that strives for change, novelty and novelty on the premise of attaching importance to the solid skills of tradition. The word "odd" represents Zheng Banqiao's aesthetic pursuit, innovative consciousness and spirit of seeking, thus making his "six books and a half" creative and innovative, and achieving the effect of self-expression. Six Books and a Half provides a good example for the road of "innovation", that is, one "specialty" and two "bo".
Innovation should be advocated, but it must be guided correctly. Innovation should also be encouraged, let alone allowed to drift. Otherwise, a large number of "idle books" (ugly books) will not only help the development of calligraphy, but will make calligraphy collapse and deteriorate. Pay special attention to the word "innovation", which is very tempting and exciting, and it is easy for people who are restless, eager to achieve success and follow the trend to make a mess of the healthy road of innovation. Therefore, "innovation" is not suitable for empty shouting and singing, and there is an urgent need for targeted guidance. On this issue, I wonder if Zheng Banqiao's Six Books and a Half can provide some substantive thinking for book associations at all levels to lead and misinterpret "innovation"
