What is the future trend of calligraphy? Where will China's calligraphy go? I think the principle that calligraphy is based on Chinese characters will not change, but I can't agree with the view that calligraphy can't have a hard pen. Long before the writing brush appeared, China's calligraphy was carved in stone with a hard pen. Can it be said that the soft pen calligraphy carried thousands of years later is not evolved from Chinese characters written on stones with hard pen?
The carrier of soft pen calligraphy is Chinese characters, so is the hard pen. Of course, there is a difference between a soft pen and a hard pen. Soft-brush calligraphy has the characteristics of its brush and can be varied. The author can pay attention to its structure, line texture, technique and light and heavy contrast. But hard pen calligraphy is easier for writers. However, its existence can not be ignored, because it is easy to learn. The true meaning of calligraphy lies in serving the people. Calligraphy is a noble art, not just the expression of techniques.
Besides, is it because someone likes to attack him with hard hair and soft hair? Do people who write with chicken feathers discriminate against the first two? Tools are dead, people are alive, and tolerance is great. Some things exist for a reason.
Someone once said that hard pen can be "chaotic" but can't be called "calligraphy", because he thought it would be good to ask the person who writes the brush to write hard pen. Interesting reason. Ha ha! Although I can't agree that his calligraphy needs to be improved for a hard-pen calligraphy authority, it's ridiculous to hear him say so! !
I prefer soft pen to hard pen. But hard pens should exist. Not to mention his convenience, hard pen calligraphy has its own beautiful principles.
