Quality requirements for calligraphers.
China's calligraphy is the art of writing Chinese characters. A person educated by traditional culture can feel the pulse of the author's feelings when examining the line rhythm and phonology of calligraphy works, and the trembling heartstrings immediately sound clear and harmonious, and the whole body and mind are completely immersed in the realm of detachment. From this point of view, it is different from ordinary writing. It has a clever combination of difficult skills in writing tools (soft brush) and modeling elements (font and structure of Chinese characters). Through words like this? Writing? The dynamic process of calligraphy is in the alternation of thick and thin strokes, square and round strokes, dark and light ink colors, dry and wet ink colors, large and small fonts, complex and simple fonts, dense and dense structures, positive and side, etc. From the constant condensation of time to the existence of space, it has become a work of art.
Calligraphy is not the way to write words, and writing is essentially different from it. Ordinary people often know calligraphy on the basis of readability and then reward it; Write positive words or beautiful poems in Tang and Song Dynasties; Symmetrical strokes and flat knots mean that the content of calligraphy is equal to that of words, and calligraphy means writing good words. This has caused fundamental confusion and led to completely different judgment positions. From the perspective of appreciation, this phenomenon also exists from the perspective of creative practice, and it has been debated almost since ancient times. Its focus lies in the understanding of the essence of calligraphy art. In recent years, the author has often argued and communicated with Shu Dao for this purpose, and has never reached a unified understanding. But there is one objection missing: write the words well and pursue the artistic level as much as possible. However, how to define this high artistic level? It seems that everyone is standing on their own understanding of calligraphy, praising each other and disagreeing. But we have to admit that the so-called good can stand the test of history, because history is fair to everything, and it doesn't depend on who said it. As far as specific works are concerned, the key should also be the artistic content, which is obviously not influenced by a time, place or personal likes and dislikes.
Calligraphy is an art, an image art with simple form and rich connotation, which has great artistic charm and a high sense of science and technology and form. Calligraphers' pursuit of calligraphy is the same, that is, to transcend history and reach the highest possible level in the historical process. Because each calligrapher's experience, accomplishment, understanding, knowledge, aesthetic experience and so on are very different, it is conceivable that few people can surpass the past history and reach a considerable artistic height. But? A trickle makes a river and a sea? As a pursuer of calligraphy art, he can establish his position in the process of history, which is manifested in the establishment of goals, the realization of goals, and the grasp and transcendence of history. This paper will also discuss some related issues in this regard in order to seek advice from Fang Jia.
Calligrapher's Personality Cultivation
Calligraphy is an elegant, gentle, noble and solemn art. Liu Xizai Art Outline? The outline of the book says: Books are like their learning, their talents and their aspirations. In short, they are just like their people. ? Tessa's book is warm and mellow, Xiong Jun's book is heavy, the book of abnormal records has fallen, and the book of talented people is beautiful. ? Xuanhe Pu Shu Records:? Lu's justice is awe-inspiring, but he is loyal to the sun, the moon and the world, so his spirit is unique and inclusive. Loyal martyrs, moral gentlemen and strict respect make people awe and love. ? Calligraphy not only shows temperament, but also shows character. Therefore, people who pursue the art of calligraphy should maintain a serious and pious attitude. ? Books draw for the heart? First of all, calligraphy works are art, not commodities, but the crystallization of calligraphers' personality cultivation. We can't equate calligraphy creation or research with commodities. Although we don't deny that calligraphy works have their artistic value and collection economic value, once they are regarded as commodities, creators will lose their cautious mentality, haggle over gains and losses, become slaves of fame and fortune, and will inevitably cater to them and go to the opposite side of pursuing artistic perfection. It is tantamount to abandoning and polluting your personality and character. Secondly, calligraphy is an art form to show the feelings and minds of calligraphers, to show personal elegance and taste, and to cultivate the mood and artistic conception of appreciators, rather than a means to pursue fame and fortune. It is not difficult to see that many people who call themselves calligraphers or famous calligraphers today are speculating when they are not sure how different calligraphy is from writing. Because the reason for tempting them is simple: calligraphers can be famous, and famous calligraphers can sell their works for money. Including some administrative leaders, celebrities, and even the families and children of celebrities. Close relationship with calligraphers. However, being from China, knowing Chinese characters, touching the brush and other unique conditions, suddenly became? Calligrapher? , and still? Famous? Yes, this is the sorrow of calligraphy.
Calligraphy is not a small skill, nor can it be achieved overnight. The success of calligraphers should be diligent study and practice of techniques; Have the ability to appreciate, be well informed and have a keen eye for judging advantages and disadvantages; Familiar with the historical evolution of calligraphy, understand and experience the calligraphy of past dynasties; Knowledge and mastery of related disciplines, etc. I don't know the history of writing, the evolution of calligraphy style, the birth, change and inheritance of calligraphy in past dynasties, the theory of calligraphy and many basic common sense and ancient books, so it is doubtful to call myself a calligrapher. You don't have to be proficient in this, but it is necessary to have a general understanding. Because, at present, there are too many deviants, and all the tricks in the world are exaggerated by the media, so that people who are eager for success will do whatever it takes? Pour books? 、? A book? 、? Zuben? 、? Tongue book? 、? The best book in the world? When grandstanding and fooling the audience. These acrobatics will be regarded as China's calligraphy by people who don't know.
Innovation is based on a deep understanding and grasp of tradition. Some beginners can't stand loneliness and long-term hard work In order to become famous overnight, they are ingenious and engage in some crooked ways, which is absolutely blasphemous to the art of calligraphy. For this reason, a real calligrapher should have pure personality beauty, mark his noble character through real calligraphy art, guide people to pursue goodness and beauty with excellent works, and sincerely inspire people to appreciate artistic beauty and be edified from it. In other words, it is to serve the society and be recognized by society. Therefore, it also perfected and realized its own value in the pursuit of art, the so-called? Static positive conservation? , as the cultivation of the whole life, in a? Quiet? Words. To do anything, you need to calm down first, learn Chinese characters and write books. You can calm down so as not to be impetuous, speculate with your heart and run with your strength. Righteousness is the correctness of personality and behavior, which has the significance of moral norms. So-called? One violence and ten cold, no one can live? Wang Xizhi, a generation of famous teachers, and even famous artists in Tang and Song Dynasties, which one didn't succeed after decades of hard work and persistence?
