One controversial thing about Fan Ceng is his love life. He was married three times, and he met his third wife, Zhang Guiyun, before she got married. Fan Ceng and Zhang Ziyi secretly dated for 10 years, which broke Xu Zunde's heart, and they finally divorced.
In today's art world, especially among Chinese painting figures, Fan Ceng can't be compared with him, if he is not a real "master". Although this is an indisputable fact, Fan Ceng is proud of his talent and always gushes: he dares to compare his ability with all China painters. In addition, Fan Ceng's past experience and personality can be discussed in many aspects. Therefore, the controversy caused by Fan Ceng has almost swept the whole painting and calligraphy circle, and it has never stopped for many years.
Fan Ceng is a famous and controversial cultural figure. On the one hand, he is very talented. Brush calligraphy painting, at first glance, is really excellent. On the other hand, he dare not be praised for his character, dare not go to the National Museum to make a "replica" exhibition, and are not ashamed of the great man he once worked for, which makes his works lose their souls.
To be fair, Fan Ceng has made considerable achievements in Chinese painting and Chinese studies. But Fan Ceng's calligraphy level is really not very good, which is also the knowledge of most art circles.
But not only can we not face up to our own shortcomings in calligraphy, but we also think that Chu and Yu are not light enough in calligraphy. How many people in calligraphy dare not take Chu Suiliang and Yu Shinan seriously? This shows Fan Ceng's arrogance. Before or after this, Fan Ceng's works have never been created.
Some time ago, the Northeast "Dajunfu" changed its signboard, and Fan Ceng confidently wrote a new signboard. Unexpectedly, it caused ridicule from netizens, saying that Fan Ceng's inscription was weak and far worse than the old one. Therefore, Fan Ceng did not find a suitable position for his calligraphy level, which increased the controversy. Experienced and interested in a wide range. It is not easy to evaluate Fan Ceng objectively. We can neither completely deny its achievements nor think too highly of it.
Mr Fan Ceng is definitely an orator. Words that can't be finished are like the waves of a big river, rushing thousands of miles. Will make the listener stunned. Listening to the lingering sound in my ear is very exciting. This is positive energy. Generally speaking, Fan Ceng's achievements in traditional Chinese painting and the promotion of China's traditional culture are worthy of recognition. But his calligraphy is too self-respecting and his personality is too arrogant, which is really the failure of his life.
