Dialogue with Professor Xiao Bin of Wu Da University on whether calligraphy can be used simply and miscellaneous.

? 20 18 12.20 Professor Xiao Bin of Wuhan University talked to me about the following word in his office (he had read it before). He thinks this word is very good, versatile, unpretentious and mature. He even said modestly that he could not write such a good word.

But he also pointed out that in this work, a simplified word "state" was used and "state" was applied. He said that in calligraphy works, complexity and simplicity cannot be confused, and simplicity and complexity should be combined. I said, not necessarily. Mr. Qi Gong mixed them up.

In March this year, I took a photo of Mr. Qi Gong to prove my statement:

I also wrote the following sentence: Hello, Professor Xiao! The complexity is the same, and it is versatile. I'm just saying, not arguing.

Professor Xiao replied:

Miss Gao: Hello!

Many people have a problem that you misunderstand the concepts of traditional Chinese characters and simplified Chinese characters in "Traditional Chinese characters should not be mixed, but simplified Chinese characters should be used together". The so-called simplified Chinese characters refer to the simplified Chinese characters in the Simplified Chinese Characters Scheme published after the founding of New China. There is no simplified word in this calligraphy work of Mr. Qi Gong that you sent. The simplified characters you think may refer to the words "gold", "building" and "stone". This calligraphy work is a running script. These characters in the works can not be called simplified characters, but cursive characters, which only appear in running script and cursive calligraphy works, but not in regular script and official script works. Please look for Mr. Qi Gong's regular script works and see if there are any.

There are certain principles and methods to simplify Chinese characters (there seem to be six methods, I can't remember clearly), one of which is cursive script, such as Sun, Le and Wei. Therefore, in running script and cursive calligraphy works, these characters are not simplified characters, but cursive characters. ?

This work also has the word "long", which is also a traditional cursive script.

After reading the above words, I said:

? Professor Xiao, thank you very much for your patient guidance! After reading it in the morning, I checked the China Dictionary of cursive script. Except for the word "smoke", everything you said is well-founded.

I'll collect your words and pass them on to book lovers.

I'm going out now. If you don't understand, just ask.

According to my question about the word "smoke", he answered me:

"Smoke" is another word for "smoke", which is very common and not a simplified word.

I said, "Thank you! This made me learn new knowledge. "

Professor Xiao is really tireless in teaching people! Not only he, but also my feeling is that the teachers of Wu Da University have one thing in common, that is, modesty, kindness and tireless teaching.

The photo of the screenshot above was cleaned up when I was cleaning up the WeChat garbage, that is, the picture of the Qigong book "Old Man's Remarks on the Yellow Crane Tower" above.
