What is the meaning of strangeness in calligraphy?
Calligraphy depends on basic skills, and you can't swallow it. Just thinking about whimsy, water without a source, and wood without a root will only make people more puzzling. Calligraphy pays attention to individuality and wins by surprise, but its basic skills are not solid and nothing good can be produced. The strangeness of calligraphy stems from correctness. The so-called foundation is conventional, standardized and fixed. The so-called strangeness means playing, breaking the rules, innovating and changing. It is a prerequisite to know what is "odd" and what is really "odd" until you know what is positive. Simply put, you know what a straight line is before you know whether your things are diagonal. Although righteousness cannot be regarded as right or wrong, it is the same in understanding. First, you should learn how to do it. Only by knowing what is right can we know what is wrong. From this, my conclusion is that without the positive, there is no strangeness; Nothing strange, but it's still there. Their relationship is different from the traditional relationship between yin and yang. Their relationship must be positive and then strange. If there is no truth and miracle, it means giving up the root and chasing the end. Therefore, calligraphy can't aim too high, so it must be down-to-earth and step by step. Curiosity is just a form of the road to success. You don't have to be too serious. It seems that no singularity is not a good work. This idea is ridiculous and naive. With the continuous understanding and improvement of calligraphy, we will realize that calligraphy pursues nature, not deliberate, and what is important. Only with a normal mind can there be great calligraphy thoughts and art.
