From 15 to now, there is a "four-character god map" that has been madly transmitted on the Internet. As a result, there are all kinds of rumors inside and outside the calligraphy circle, and there is a tendency for devils to enter the village. This month, only dozens of WeChat friends are asking "What are these four words to read?" .
ˇ
Today, we will listen to the voices of experts from all walks of life.

1. pedant school
It is said that an expert who specializes in ancient Chinese characters fought day and night for a month, smoked 60 packets of Hongtashan and drank 530 cups of Brazilian coffee, and finally unveiled its mystery. Let's see:
2. Boring theory
A few days ago, Dong Yan, director of the Tsinghua University Calligraphy Teaching and Research Section, issued a document "What do you want me to read? ",the article did not hesitate to swear" This broken word can neither be called calligraphy nor seal script, it is pure nonsense, the seal script is wrong, the brushwork is wrong, the author is an asshole, an idiot ... There is no doubt that the unified practice in a painting and calligraphy professional group where I am located is, first, refusing to answer. To answer, there is only one standard answer: stupid words written by stupid people. " And advise everyone to "garbage words come back for the second time, cherish life, stay away from garbage, don't ask, don't turn around, don't pay attention, don't be a fool!" "
3. conspiracy theories
Since the expert found the source, the knight-errant also came to find the "original".
Below, yellow wooden walls, dim lights, pale rice paper and inexplicable ancient Chinese characters make people shudder. Look at the piles of bottles and cans below. Are they doctors in the mountains? Is it Miao's method? Or maoshan taoist? .....
In short, the atmosphere is very strange, just like watching a horror movie, which makes people both afraid and curious and always want to know the truth. As a result, people began to pay attention to these four strange words, eager to know what this word means. It seems that there must be some hidden secret behind this word. With everyone's strong curiosity, this "God Map" is widely circulated on the land of China.
4. the truth
In order to find out the truth, we must find out who the author is.
Because the picture is too vague, Shack dragged his friend Mr. Liu Zhenghui to meet the author through technical means (thanks), and finally saw his name clearly: Mai Zhiming.
Who is this man? I looked up his information on the Internet, and sure enough, many things happen:
Photography: Mai Zhiming
Mai Zhiming, whose real name is Mansheng, whose legal name is Tashi, is from New Taipei City, Taiwan Province Province; Originally a craftsman specializing in teapots and kettles, he gradually became interested in hieroglyphics; At the same time, he also founded a school called "Man-made Pottery in Folk Kilns", which combined pottery with ancient hieroglyphics to make products interesting.
It is said that the price of the teapot made by this person is about 2000-3000 yuan each, and the master's handwriting is really beyond the average person's consumption!
Mai Zhiming's work, in the red circle, looks familiar?
Knight's conclusion
At this point, the curiosity of friends should be satisfied! In fact, from the perspective of pure calligraphy, this word is really "vulgar", maybe it's just a marketing tool!
Just like the "three noes" directed by Dong Yan: Don't ask, don't ask, ignore!
After all, time is precious, there is no need to waste it on such boring questions, not to mention that everyone is very busy!
