Zhang Xinqi's Evaluation of Fan Ceng's Calligraphy

In the field of calligraphy, Fan Ceng is only a writer at best, and his calligraphy also has serious defects: 1, affectation, posturing, flashy; 2. Stiff and mediocre, the arrangement of strokes and the structure of bookshelves are all the styles of government-run cabinet and cultural revolution posters; 3, the pen is broken, soft, lifeless, lifeless. And these are exactly the taboos of calligraphers. Fan Ceng denounced and criticized other people's paintings and calligraphy works as "hanging a dead snake", "giving birth to false angels" and "doing nothing". In fact, these taboos of calligraphers are typical "Fan's calligraphy and painting defects and ills" in Fan Ceng's own calligraphy and painting works. So Fan Zeng's handwriting is not calligraphy at all.
