From ancient times to the present, most of the big names in the literary world are good at calligraphy. How can literati not be good at calligraphy?
Of course Professor Yu Qiuyu is no exception. As we all know, Professor Yu is a famous contemporary cultural scholar and writer. He has made world-renowned achievements in cultural scholarship and other aspects, such as the world-famous and slandered "Cultural Journey" ", many people have read it.
But few people know that he is also very obsessed with Chinese calligraphy and can write much better than ordinary literati. Although he is not known as a calligrapher, there is no doubt that he is called a calligrapher.
So, what is Professor Yu Qiuyu’s calligraphy level?
By appreciating his large calligraphy handwriting, it is not difficult to find that Professor Yu’s calligraphy can be called a man of letters with strong penpower, handsome and elegant, vigorous and simple, lively and full of integrity
Temperament and cultural heritage. Such calligraphy works undoubtedly have high artistic value and strong vitality, which cannot but be admired!
Yu Qiuyu believes that calligraphy is the highest aesthetic of Chinese culture. It is an era that most needs spiritual sustenance and true art. But nowadays, pragmatism is prevalent, and most people hold a utilitarian book. Mind, these "useless" arts seem dispensable.
Philosopher Kant once said: Beauty is actually a transcendence of practicality. If it is completely in a practical state, it is exactly a violation of beauty. ?
Mr. Yu Qiuyu’s artistic background and aesthetic taste are beyond reproach. As for whether his title is worthy of being called a dean? Different people have different opinions. Some people say that Yu Qiuyu's calligraphy is at best the calligraphy of a "celebrity" rather than the work of a "calligraphy celebrity". After all, he is not a professional and cannot be compared with the work of everyone.
