The "Four Seas Cup" Invitational Tournament for Painting and Calligraphy of Poetry Associations at Home and Abroad is to solemnly celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China, promote the prosperity and development of contemporary culture and art, promote art exchanges at home and abroad, and show the brilliant achievements of painting and calligraphy of Poetry Associations in the new era. With the theme of recording the new era, writing the new era and eulogizing the new era.
The requirements for all entries are: take innovation as the theme, capture new inspiration, embody new spirit, paint a picture of the new era and spread wisdom for the new era.
I, Zhang Xiying (Anhui), whose calligraphy work "The Belt and Road is Far-reaching, Europe, Africa and East Asia * * * Win-win" with draft numbers K706 1 and 20 19 "Four Seas Cup", won the gold medal in the poetry and calligraphy invitational tournament at home and abroad, and was awarded the honorary title of "Paying tribute to the 70-year-old artistic figure in New China". This is not only an affirmation of my calligraphy skills, but more importantly, an affirmation and praise of my ability to keep pace with the times, keep pace with the times, and bring forth new ideas, rather than complacency, posturing and copying some calligraphy works.
In addition to the originality of keeping pace with the times, calligraphy entries must also follow their rules and regulations. If calligraphy creation leaves the word "Fa", even if it is written well, it is just a copying machine with high imitation. Personally, I think the font should be vigorous and lively, the ink should be colorful, the pen should be freely used, the structure should be rigorous and appropriate, and the font should be naturally open. This is my immature understanding and view of calligraphy.
