The late calligrapher Qi Gong talked about the knowledge and skills of learning calligraphy;
Learn to write Chinese calligraphy in order to let people know each other. Words are symbols of language, and words are records of language. But for various reasons, it is written in written language, and it is written in articles composed of written language. Its function is to express language.
After I finished writing a long speech, the people who read it didn't know, that is, I lost the role of written communication. This is the first point. Words should always be combined with language, and people who read words should always know what you are writing. After writing, no one knows, so no matter how high the book is, it is just a "heavenly book" that people can't understand.
Calligraphy is both art and technology. Speaking of the word art, it is mysterious. But it always needs a method of writing. How to write is not only understandable in literature and art, but also beautiful in writing. In this case, the skill of calligraphy is essential.
Of course, technology is not equal to art. When technology does not show the characteristics of calligraphy, art will not be mentioned, but I think the skill of calligraphy is still the most important. Although theorists believe that technology is a low level in art, it is an introductory thing. But I think from low to high, you have to start from the first floor, no matter which floor you go to.
