For example: Is Wang Xizhi from the Eastern Jin Dynasty or the Western Jin Dynasty? What are the characteristics of Mifei's calligraphy? Which two people does Yan Gu refer to? It is often said that the word is as its name implies. Is Zhao Mengfu a handsome boy? Fee to write calligraphy? Too many. You can ask questions by looking at ancient calligraphers. You can ask a lot of questions, but specifically, it is not good for calligraphy, just to improve calligraphy appreciation and common sense. It is not easy to write a word there and ask who wrote it. Calligraphy focuses on diligent understanding.
If practical, you can draw a sketch of the composition on paper, and let the selected person draw an outline on the paper to see if the composition is correct. Generally, the last line accounts for 3/5 or 2/5 of the whole line. You can also ask whether the signature can be lower than the last word of the text, and whether the seal can print two Zhu or white characters on a calligraphy and painting at the same time. What other fonts are most suitable for seals? You can ask the location of the first chapter, waist chapter, name chapter, etc. Maybe more practical.
But it is best not to ask in the form of evaluating ancient calligraphers, because there are as many people who like calligraphy in ancient times as today. Although we can evaluate, we are not asked to leave our names in the history books, such as: what copybook or inscription is more suitable for beginners of calligraphy, etc. , will mislead everyone. Personality determines style, and students write two different styles with the words of a calligrapher.
You can also ask some questions about the courtesy of the donated calligraphy and painting to the requester in the previous paragraph, and how to address the elders, peers and younger generations. Of course, the answer is not unique. The format of the next paragraph is: time+place+name+(symbol)+modesty. The specific name of time and so on.
I am the president of a university painting and calligraphy association, and I have a strong interest in painting and calligraphy. I'm not here to get extra points because it's meaningless, but it's hard to find a bosom friend. Many people love painting and calligraphy, but they are proud of it. I hope you can inherit the essence of China's calligraphy culture and set foot on the highest peak of your calligraphy realm. How? Do it yourself
