I have seen such an evaluation of Ceng Xiang: (Simplicity, happiness, innocence and happiness constitute the quality of Ceng Xiang's calligraphy. Every time I look at his handwriting, I seem to hear his hearty laughter and heartfelt "fun" exclamation when he writes. Maybe he has been immersed in traditional calligraphy for too long. When Ceng Xiang began to consciously seek personalized calligraphy expression, he chose a relatively conservative road-he did not directly draw lessons from the Japanese school of few words or deconstruct Chinese characters with western modern art theory, but reconsidered the origin of "tradition" in order to return to the most primitive growth state of calligraphy. He talked about his point of view in seminars many times: "The way out for contemporary calligraphers is to return to the origin of calligraphy. Where is Wang Xizhi from? Wang Xizhi is not the source, and the source of calligraphy is in Qin and Han Dynasties. " Gauguin, an impressionist painter, once said in a letter to Strindberg, "Civilization makes you suffer, and barbarism makes me rejuvenate", which is quite appropriate for Ceng Xiang. Compared with the classic calligraphy created by traditional literati, Ceng Xiang's calligraphy is undoubtedly "barbaric" and lacks "elegance", but it is full of vitality. Simplicity, happiness, innocence and happiness constitute the quality of Ceng Xiang's calligraphy. Every time I look at his handwriting, I seem to hear his hearty laughter and heartfelt "fun" exclamation when he writes.
The above is what I read about Ceng Xiang on the Internet. In my opinion, there are four things to choose from in calligraphy. Maybe Ceng Xiang chose the ugly route instead of flattering. As for the beauty of his works, I don't see it. Maybe it's because of my lack of personal cultivation that any work can't be said to make everyone feel good. At least until now, some people still hate Venus and Mona Lisa. . . The key is to see if you can find clarity in appreciating his works. If you can find it, you will find it beautiful and you like it. Personally, I don't like his calligraphy works very much, and I don't like his name and items. . .
The above is my personal opinion, which is a good way to attract jade.
