Tian Yingzhang talks about calligraphy

First, don't look at the level, just look at the contribution.

As we all know, Tian, Tian and Tian are famous calligraphers in today's calligraphy field. This is very famous, some people like it, some people reject it. But in any case, after Tian He's efforts, the atmosphere of the book circle has really changed in recent years. Traditional calligraphy art began to flash her charm, and a large number of teenagers began to crawl under the pomegranate skirt of traditional calligraphy.

With this outstanding contribution, I think it doesn't matter whether Tian's calligraphy level is high or low. It is a matter of infinite merit to make the public love traditional calligraphy and popularize and carry it forward.

Second, do you want to learn Tian's calligraphy? It is worth thinking about!

Thanks to Tian He's efforts, the atmosphere of calligraphy in China has really risen, but the Tian brothers have been sought after by many fans, and Tian's calligraphy has gained considerable popularity. In the folk, Tian's calligraphy is loved by the majority of calligraphy lovers, and learning Tian's calligraphy has become a popular trend.

But it is worth noting that Tian's calligraphy is good, but whether it is worth learning is another matter and should be worth thinking about.

Third, the position of Tian's calligraphy in calligraphy academic.

In fact, Tian's calligraphy is only a tiny branch of the calligraphy system. Calligraphy can be divided into cursive script, regular script and European calligraphy. In European style calligraphy, it can be divided into various branches, such as the calligraphy of his son Ouyang Tong and the learning of famous European calligraphy by later generations-Prince Cheng, Lin Zexu, Wang Weixian, etc. They are all calligraphers, and in this branch system, Tian's calligraphy belongs to many comprehensive calligraphers.

Fourthly, the formal characteristics of Tian Kai.

This point, Tian, teachers, whether in public or private conversations, will talk about this point. When they study European calligraphy, they don't just stare at Ou Yangxun. They not only made a detailed investigation, copying and research on Ou Yangxun's calligraphy in various periods, but also made an in-depth study on other famous artists, including other calligraphy styles.

After learning from each other's strengths and injecting more personal thoughts, a European calligraphy based on European calligraphy and integrating other calligraphy styles-Tian Kai was formed.

5. Comparison between Tian and calligraphy styles.

The mixed characteristics of Tian Kai are particularly obvious in Tian He's calligraphy style. Tian teacher's calligraphy as a whole is simple, heavy and elegant, with a strong scroll flavor. Teacher Tian Yingzhang's calligraphy is handsome, lively and lovely, vivid and beautiful, which is completely different. This is related to the different learning objects of their calligraphy.

Tian teacher once said that he liked the style of Yan-style calligraphy very much, so under the basic framework of European and Chinese styles, he added Shao-style calligraphy, which perfectly combined Yan-style simplicity with European-style beauty and elegance, showing an unusual artistic aesthetic feeling.

Zhao Ti's calligraphy is Zhao's face, that is to say, combining the elegant side of's calligraphy with European-style calligraphy makes European-style calligraphy show its smart and beautiful style.

Sixth, look at the European purity of Tian's calligraphy from the style.

Tian's teacher and once very sad were asked, "Do you want to learn Tian's calligraphy?" They even shouted loudly-never take your calligraphy as the highest standard, and never take your calligraphy as a lifelong study and pursuit.

Many of them think that Mr Tian is modest. However, if we know the formation process of Tian Kai calligraphy, we can know that Tian's calligraphy should be a branch of European calligraphy and the main body of European calligraphy.

If you are looking for real ancient calligraphy classics, especially European calligraphy classics, Tian's calligraphy should not be your intermediate goal, but rather!

7. Correctly treat the position of Tian calligraphy in calligraphy learning.

Although we can't learn Tian Kai when studying in Ou Kai, Tian Kai calligraphy is an excellent entry choice for those who are interested in learning European calligraphy. Compared with the difficulty of Ou Yangxun's inscription calligraphy, Tian Kai often uses ink, which makes it easier for beginners to learn to observe.

Therefore, Tian's calligraphy only plays a role as a bridge and tool in our modern calligraphy learning process. Through the preliminary study of modern calligraphy, we can finally learn ancient calligraphy and help us get started. I think this is the purpose of our study of Tian calligraphy.

If we regard Tian Kai as the ultimate study object and the highest requirement, I'm afraid it's biased.
