Why is it difficult for modern people to surpass the ancients in their calligraphy achievements?
They all write with a brush. As a scholar, they write every day, and the font is linked to the imperial examination. As for us, Lian Bi is too lazy to use it now. No matter how beautiful the words are, the answers are all wrong. In the current social system, talented people may not even touch the brush. After all, it is too difficult to live by writing. Even in China, there are a few calligraphers who write at home every day and spend a lot of time socializing. And now calligraphy is imitated by the ancients, and it is difficult to innovate without a deep foundation. There is also a subjective problem. Think about the old version of Journey to the West or the new version.
