Watching the excitement, generally looking at the surface, the surface looks pleasing to the eye, and it feels good when it is comfortable; Look at the doorway, structure, charm, brushwork, composition, ink painting, personality, inheritance, innovation and so on.
Simply put, laymen pursue simple personal preferences; An expert appreciates artistry and professionalism (more needs and richer connotations), which is like a driver and an amateur: driving, as long as the road is clear, you can reach your destination smoothly; Insider: I went to road trip to enjoy the beautiful scenery, delicious food, good air, good weather and scenic spots along the way. The same driver, the two demands are different, and the natural results are different.
"Calligraphy" is an art, which comes from life and is higher than life. It takes a certain level of appreciation and artistic accomplishment to understand, and there is a threshold. For ordinary people who are used to reading "characters", when reading "calligraphy", they often feel that the characters written by many calligraphers are different or even ugly. Because it doesn't meet your own inertial aesthetic needs, it will produce rejection, and "ugliness" is a high probability thing.
With the development of the times, the rise of computers and mobile internet has replaced many writing needs, and even hard pen writing has been greatly impacted, and brush writing has become history. The popularization of calligraphy has become difficult, and the door is empty. Without the soil and cultural atmosphere cultivated by calligraphy art, the appreciation ability of calligraphy art will naturally weaken, and it will inevitably fall into stereotypes. The "Jianghu good characters" full of red dust and fireworks will naturally become popular and highly respected.
The art of calligraphy is profound and has been handed down from generation to generation. After years of hard work and baptism, its artistry has developed to a high level. I hope that ordinary people will not give up their artistic essence and professional training because they feel "ugly".
