A book friend said: Before I knew what calligraphy was, I usually called neat, regular and beautiful words calligraphy, and the people who wrote these words were also called calligraphers. Later, I learned that calligraphy and writing are completely different concepts.
In the 1980s, when I was studying in the county, there was an old man with a white beard wearing glasses at the crossroads of the county, writing letters to people. The word "writing to people" was well written, just like a printed letter, and I admired it at that time.
A few years later, the old man was invited to write on campus. After folding the grid, he filled in every word with a pencil, and then proudly said: I can fill in any word in the order of "Spring and Snow in Qinyuan"; My friends admired me deeply, and I secretly said: It turned out to be a word maker!
Those whose handwriting is good, standard and beautiful may not be called calligraphers, but can only be called "calligraphers", "writers" and so-called "teachers", with the same meaning. That is, everyone just needs their bodies, but they don't have their own thoughts. No matter how well they write, they don't have their own thoughts and temperament. So you can't be "home". That's the biggest difference between "home" and "craftsman".
"Home" has its own thoughts, while "artisan" has no thoughts, just like carpenters and masons. He can copy and repeat. He is making, but not creating. What he copies can only be called science. For example, those types can be copied, and those artistic characters can also be copied in batches. Therefore, those plain calligraphy words that can "incarnate hundreds of billions" are not called art, nor calligraphy. Only those that cannot be copied are called art..
If you have no thoughts, you may have wrong ideas. If you learn any style, you can write as a craftsman.
In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, in order to seek regularity, Ou Yangxun and Zhao Ziang's regular script was written in cabinets, and Wang Xizhi's fickle trip was written in ordinary courtyard script.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Zhao Hetao was a fellow villager, both of whom learned from Weibei. Zhao softened the steel with a brush and became us in Weibei. Tao Zhuo claimed that the grass was carved with a knife, and his brushwork was only different from Wei Bei's meticulous brushwork.
Calligraphy and painting, especially things endowed with creativity and characteristics, can be called "home" and "things with characteristics are beautiful"-Rodin's words are ringing in our ears again.
Wang Xizhi, Wang Xianzhi, Yan Zhenqing, Mi Fei, Wang Duo and Badashan people have a good reputation in history, because their calligraphy has its own characteristics, and they don't repeat the ancients or themselves.
Wang Xizhi was guilty in ancient times, and Wang Xianzhi learned from his father to show his beauty; Yan Zhenqing introduced the smell of seal script brush into regular script and running script, which opened a unique door outside the two kings; Mi Fei collected ancient Chinese characters and learned from others. ...
Writing is easy to recognize and beautiful, and the more standardized, the better.
Calligraphy, on the premise of not violating the meaning of the word, can have rich and varied expressive force, which can be true and false, elastic, dense, odd and correct, skewed and relaxed ... Beautiful rhythm occurs through lifting, adjusting, rushing and patting the pen, and is distributed through dotted lines and channels, tilted left and right, balanced, staggered in size, dynamically closed, and expressed in a combination of static and dynamic.
Calligraphy, which is completely different from the concept of writing.
