I studied calligraphy in college for four years, but the words on the Spring Festival couplets are very ordinary and fine. Some people even think that the handwriting of this college student is not as good as that of his 7-year-old son. It can be seen that people think that the main reason why couplets cannot be sold is that the words are not good-looking.
2. The price of couplets is too high.
I sold four pairs of Spring Festival couplets in four days. The key reason is that they are too expensive. Four pairs 100 yuan, a pair of 25 yuan, a little expensive.
You know, printing Spring Festival couplets may cost more than ten yuan, even less than 10 yuan.
However, some people say that printed couplets have no soul, and Spring Festival couplets are still handwritten with feelings. A pair of 25 yuan is not expensive. The cost of materials such as paper for Chinese New Year may be 10 yuan, while a slightly proficient handwritten Spring Festival couplets may cost several hundred yuan.
The boy's handwriting is ok, but the position and time are wrong.
There are also many people who support this college student to continue to write Spring Festival couplets. Although the handwriting is not very good, it still exceeds the level of most people.
College students set up a stall in the shopping mall to sell handwritten Spring Festival couplets, which is in the wrong position. They should be on the street or in the community, and there are few people in the afternoon, so they should choose the morning time.
Coincidentally, another student also wrote a video of street Spring Festival couplets in the same period online, but the difference is that this girl attracted a large number of people to watch and buy.
From the video, everyone praised the girl's handwritten Spring Festival couplets, thinking that calligraphy is good, and the idea that girls want to exercise themselves in the winter vacation has been recognized, so there is a hot sale phenomenon.
Does that really mean that male college students have poor brushwork? And it's expensive and can't be sold.
Personally, I don't know much about calligraphy, but from a non-professional point of view, boys' handwriting is good, but girls' handwriting is really better. There may be many reasons why boys sell less.
In fact, the spirit of two people selling Spring Festival couplets is worthy of recognition. Even if only one person buys them, it is also an encouragement, and there is no need to be discouraged. College students sell handwritten Spring Festival couplets in winter vacation, which shows us the continuation of traditional culture. This is a good phenomenon. As for whether the handwriting is good or not, everyone's evaluation criteria are different. After all, what everyone needs is a festive atmosphere, not professional calligraphy works.
