Every calligrapher is different. This is inseparable from the calligrapher's own personality, temperament, temperament and cultural background. A person who has no cultural accomplishment in China, a person who doesn't understand China culture, and a person who has no aesthetic enjoyment and appreciation of art can't write a good hand. A timid and introverted person can never write Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy. It's no use studying Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy all your life. A cunning and charming person can never write a restrained and vigorous font like Ou Yangxun; A rough and informal person would never write a beautiful and formal font like Chen Daozhou.
Wang Xizhi's fonts are leisurely, Yan Zhenqing's fonts are heavy, Liu Gongquan's fonts are plum blossoms and willow branches, Su Dongpo's fonts are chic, Mi Fei's fonts are wild, Zhao Mengfu's fonts are free and easy, Dong Qichang's fonts are charming, and Wang Duo's fonts are beautiful and steep; Zheng Banqiao's handwriting is clumsy and clever; Liu Yong's fonts are steady and slow, Deng's fonts are tough and cold-resistant, and Zhao's fonts are old and old, all of which are inseparable from their own personality, temper, experience, accomplishment and artistic experience. Seeing their handwriting, we can get a glimpse of their people.
From the point of view of modern calligraphers, the same is true. Shen's bookishness; Lin Sanzhi's spring vigor, Sha Menghai's vigorous vigor, royal family's dignity, official's poverty, Zhou Huijun's cliff danger, Liu Bingsheng's willow wind, Fan Zeng's red maple show, Zhang Hai's hybrid rice, Shen Peng's river noodles, Ouyang Zhongshi's crooked target tree, Nie Wencheng's big face and Wang Yong's childlike spirit are all the personality characteristics of every calligrapher, which can be seen in their calligraphy works. Calligraphy is one of the most distinctive arts. When you see the font, you can imagine the character and temperament of the writer. You can even infer the author's behavior and things.
It used to be said that words are like people. That's true. I dare to evaluate these calligraphers, without malice, just seeking personification and imitating their styles and characteristics. So that beginners can learn from it. Whether this is the case remains to be understood and observed by people who study calligraphy.
Summarize the calligraphy art. That is, anyone who is interested in learning calligraphy must first understand his own personality and temperament, and then choose his favorite copybook to conquer the relevant calligraphy style. This will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
