Sun Xiaoyun’s calligraphy: His brushwork is excellent, but what are some shortcomings?

Calligraphy is the carrier of my country’s traditional culture, and it always has endless charm that attracts people to develop and explore. In the long history of our country's culture, there are many female calligraphers who shine in the annals of history. For example, Cai Wenji, a famous female calligrapher in the Eastern Han Dynasty, had very beautiful calligraphy. She was not only knowledgeable and talented, but also had high attainments in calligraphy. There is also a female calligrapher like Cai Wenji in the contemporary calligraphy circle. She is Ms. Sun Xiaoyun, vice chairman of the Chinese Calligraphers Association.

Her calligraphy is very influential in Shutan. Su Shishu, chairman of the Chinese Calligraphy Association, still thinks highly of her. How is Sun Xiaoyun's calligraphy? Friends who love calligraphy must also have their own opinions. The editor boldly comments on Ms. Sun Xiaoyun's calligraphy this year. The editor thought that her calligraphy skills were excellent but her structure was slightly lacking. The editor said this, maybe Sun Xiaoyun's fans will pick up bricks and slap the editor. Even so, the editor still wants to comment on Ms. Sun Xiaoyun’s calligraphy.

Sun Xiaoyun’s calligraphy should be said to be relatively orthodox, unlike some calligraphy masters who take the wild approach. Sun Xiaoyun is engaged in calligraphy. For more than ten years, he has been writing Wei and Jin stele inscriptions faithfully, staying true to the calligraphy tradition. The most valuable thing about calligraphy is a sense of reverence for calligraphy. Sun Xiaoyun did an excellent job in this aspect. In the calligraphy world in recent years, Wang Dongling's "chaoshu" was dazzling, then Zeng Xiang's "roaring calligraphy" was dizzying, and recently there is Shao Yan's "shooting calligraphy", which can be described as diverse.

Judging from all the chaos in the calligraphy world, Sun Xiaoyun’s calligraphy is still quite beautiful. It fully embodies the attitude of a person who studies calligraphy. This is indeed worthy of respect. . We really need such calligraphers, especially calligraphy with excellent brushwork and antique flavor. I have to say that Sun Xiaoyun's writing style has a traditional flavor and he also has some opinions of his own. This kind of guardian looks really pleasing to the eye, but it's hard to say more. Sun Xiaoyun's excellent calligraphy skills are definitely not due to her status as vice chairman of the Chinese Calligraphers Association, but because her calligraphy has traces of time.

How to see it? Sun Xiaoyun has read famous inscriptions all over the place, especially the essence of the Wei stele. Humanity is that practice makes perfect, and then you can be as leisurely as wandering in the clouds while writing without stopping. This is the so-called "Feng Xing Yu San" who has mastered the writing skills! This is a gift from Lin Tie, and Lin Tie's skills are evident. Therefore, saying that Sun Xiaoyun's calligraphy skills are excellent is definitely not the editor's words against his will, but is actually the result of his skill. When I comment on other people's calligraphy, I always look at their excellence and also talk about their shortcomings. Although Sun Xiaoyun's calligraphy is excellent in brushwork, the structure is slightly lacking. What is this statement?

Those who are familiar with Sun Xiaoyun's calligraphy will probably have a deep understanding of the shortcomings of her lack of structure. Sun Xiaoyun's calligraphy is characterized by insufficient structure. The editor takes actual calligraphy works as an example. For example, in the calligraphy work above, the line is difficult to draw in, so the softness together makes the font look a little dated. Not to mention, the font is compressed, and the momentum of opening up is still slightly lacking. This structure is slightly lacking. In the editor's opinion, it makes Sun Xiaoyun's calligraphy look less impressive. This is the shortcoming of Sun Xiaoyun's calligraphy. Furthermore, the editor also wants to point out that although Sun Xiaoyun's calligraphy has such shortcomings, there is still a general pattern of calligraphy. After all, he is an expert. Even if he has one or two shortcomings, he still has something to be commended for. .

Calligraphy focuses on cultivating the mind, followed by cultivating one’s nature, and then skills. Only by cultivating one's mind first and skill second can one call it the art of calligraphy. Without the support of calligraphy skills, calligraphy is a tree without water; on the contrary, excessive emphasis on calligraphy skills means that the artistry of calligraphy is lost. It has to be said that Sun Xiaoyun not only has excellent calligraphy skills, but also has the beauty of calligraphy skills and art. As for the slight lack of calligraphy structure, in the editor's opinion, the flaws outweigh the flaws. Dear readers, what do you think of this?
