For calligraphy exhibition works, generally what you write is based on your own preferences. After all, everyone has different ideas. From my personal point of view, I think it would be better to write more representative ancient poems, or write something more artistic or inspirational.
But in fact, for calligraphy exhibitions, in addition to paying attention to the content written, there are also many details that need to be paid attention to. The name of the calligraphy exhibition is the abbreviation of the National Calligraphy and Seal Engraving Exhibition. This exhibition is an exhibition of calligraphy works of national calligraphers hosted by China Writing, so there are many outstanding calligraphers participating in the event with long calligraphy works.
And for this exhibition, the reputation, quality, authority and level of the National Calligraphy and Seal Engraving Exhibition can be said to be relatively high. Therefore, being able to get a ranking in such an exhibition is not only recognition for myself, but also a big test for myself.
Nowadays, when many people mention the calligraphy exhibition, they may immediately think of the modernism of calligraphy. In fact, in the first two issues of the calligraphy exhibition, it is difficult for us to see modernist calligraphy. The main form of calligraphy works developed is regular script and running script. Cursive script is relatively rare. Most of the calligraphers are older.
For this exhibition, in fact, by the third edition, the calligraphy works were organized in a provincial-by-provincial manner. Now I don’t feel that calligraphy across the country is one family, regardless of east, west, north or south, and everyone can play to their heart’s content. We can learn from the past, and there is no obvious regional difference in calligraphy style.
Anyone who wants to participate in the calligraphy exhibition can submit a calligraphy as long as they meet the exhibition organizer's calligraphy requirements. But this method of free submission originated from the Fourth National Calligraphy and Seal Engraving Exhibition. In other words, it is not possible for anyone who wants to vote for calligraphy before the fourth quarter. It is basically an internal selection process. However, it is now open.
