A hundred calligraphy theory couplets with notes 4 1,
Appreciation must look at the present to see the level;
When writing, you should explore the past and know the taste.
A work must be well written to have a taste; Only by increasing education can we know the level of appreciation.
Books, especially excellent works, are for people to appreciate. The appreciation mentioned here refers not only to appreciation, but also to appraisal. Whether it is a modern work or an ancient work, if you want to have a real appraisal and appreciation, you must have rich knowledge of calligraphy and painting, accurate judgment of the market and careful understanding of the author. Especially today's antique market is changing with each passing day. With the improvement of living standards, national status, monetary value, cultural level and collection awareness, the connoisseur must have a comprehensive understanding and mastery before he can comprehensively position the works. This positioning includes authenticity, age, author, price, advantages and disadvantages.
First of all, writing is divided into practicality and appreciation. The previous calligraphers, regardless of this, only talked about the present, because the application of calligraphy was too small, and they have lost their previous role as a tool for spreading culture. Some so-called calligraphers nowadays are really ashamed of the word "calligrapher"! They have been practicing calligraphy for less than three to five years, and even the basic frame structure and strokes have not been practiced well, so they are eager to write their own style and want to form their own "calligraphy style"; These eager writers, because of their urgency, write words that make people feel neither fish nor fowl, which are incomprehensible to calligraphers nor ordinary people, and pretend to be inscrutable, which is called "art"; These "artistic" characters, because the writer has no "positive" basis of regular script, can't be understood when written and can never be used in reality; What's more, I simply practiced some specious words such as "Tadpole Essay", "Bird Essay" and "Lin Xiangzhang", and consciously wrote "antique" and "naive". In fact, it's just a pile of rubbish!
When I say "exploring the past" in writing, I mean that you must study the successful experience of the ancients wholeheartedly and in a down-to-earth manner, instead of aiming too high and becoming a calligrapher if you want to learn a little fur. Some calligraphers today may only be able to "write" with a brush. This goes back to ancient times, and it can be considered that anyone who can write is a calligrapher! Oh!
In a word, appreciation and writing are actually two in one and unified with each other. To be good at appreciation, you must be good at writing; Mastering writing will improve the level of appreciation. Just because of the development or change of the times, the calligraphy culture is different and the values have changed.
