It is more difficult to surpass others, and it is even more difficult to surpass yourself, because it means denying yourself and abandoning your existing fame and fortune. What is even more frightening is that you are in danger of being silent and forgotten at any time. Therefore, once many artists have determined their own styles and characteristics, they no longer want to change or dare to change. Most appreciators and collectors often don't want them to change. Once changed, people often refuse to admit that the price of the work will be greatly reduced. But Sun Boxiang is not influenced by fame and fortune. He is constantly denying himself and surpassing himself. When he is creating, he often destroys many works that others think are successful enough until he is satisfied. Seeing his previous works, I seldom hold an appreciation and affirmation attitude.
Although it is inevitable to take some detours in the exploration, this kind of exploration without utilitarian purpose has enabled Sun Boxiang to deepen his understanding of Weibei and achieve new breakthroughs. Today, Sun Boxiang's calligraphy is not entirely Wei Bei's calligraphy in the pure sense, but a masterpiece of art, the unity of inheritance and innovation, and the crystallization of skill and temperament. His calligraphy creation broke through the fixed format, or the breeze and the bright moon, or the yellow bell and the big road, or the mountains and mountains, or the small bridges and flowing water ... close to the wonderful realm of the blending of inscriptions.
