Some people say that Yan Chongnian's calligraphy has a source. How to evaluate?

A stroke of the pen, bluff, Jianghu body. Yan Chongnian is a historian. He dare not say whether he is good at studying history, but it is inevitable that he is good at telling history. I remember Mr. Yan once published a book about history. When it comes to the rigor of history books, Yan Chongnian once thought that there would be no mistakes, and offered a reward for picking mistakes and paying 1,000 yuan for mistakes at a time.

Later, someone actually picked out hundreds of mistakes in Yan Chongnian's book. I don't talk much about rewards. I only talk about Yan Chongnian's "Jianghu spirit" in his scholarship-offering a reward to find fault, which is too Jianghu. Literati need to be careful and strive for perfection, and there is no need to be so Jianghu.

However, in Yan Chongnian's knowledge field of vision, there is a certain overconfident Jianghu temperament. In addition to publishing books, his calligraphy is also a Jianghu temperament. Write a list book with a stroke of a pen. The handwriting is "terrible", but I don't think it's ugly, but I dare to write. This is also a kind of learning performance that is too involved in rivers and lakes.

Some calligraphers of Jianghu School basically don't practice rubbings, so the literati temperament in calligraphy is generally invisible. They are willing to use a big brush to write big characters to cover up their ugliness and render their momentum. For example, when Ceng Xiang wrote calligraphy, he used a big brush to write on the ground and shouted while writing, calling calligraphy a roaring book.

Yelling at books is actually a kind of Jianghu style. Yan Chongnian wrote in Chinese calligraphy. Although he didn't shout, he was willing to stamp the paper with brute force and a lot of ink. His brute force is close, elegant and vulgar. Although he can bluff, he will eventually get wind of it, bluffing for a while and having low quality.

Therefore, Yan Chongnian's calligraphy, without knowing it, is also a Jianghu calligrapher, lacking the authentic heart sutra cultivated by calligraphy, and showing too much randomness and affectation in playing calligraphy.

Calligraphers write, not pretend. However, there are some calligraphers in the calligraphy circle who do not seriously cultivate inscriptions and are willing to pretend to write calligraphy.

In particular, after a person has gained some fame in his own work or has gained some fame, he is willing to write calligraphy across borders. Whether he can write calligraphy or not, he must pick up a brush to show his talent. I haven't practiced calligraphy, so I can't show off, so I have to write Jianghu with a stroke of my pen.
