How to understand and treat the ugly phenomenon in calligraphy?

In fact, the ugliness of books is not a problem, but the mentality of the public.

He pretended to be in front of the TV camera, squeezing the white cloth held by his little sister with a needle, writing through his nostrils and writing a roaring book. What does it have to do with us? Since he can be on TV, naturally someone pays him to perform, and his status is not low. Who will do something that people can't afford in this society?

Everyone laughed at him. The organizer made an eye, he made money, and we spit out evil spirits and thought we were better than him. This is really a happy thing.

what do you think? I think it's good.

Don't think of yourself as a guardian. Calligraphy is just an art, nothing is sacred and inviolable. The so-called spiritual civilization is a cultural derivative created to meet spiritual needs after material civilization reaches a certain level. In China's vast and complicated history of Chinese studies, history, poetry, music and various court etiquette, costumes and ancient customs, the influence of calligraphy is as weak as fifty cents in the new generation.

Now they write ugly books, which attract more people's attention and arouse their desire to protect traditional culture. What's wrong with that?

That's nonsense. Let's be serious.

What is an ugly book?

Ugly books are different from traditional calligraphy forms or creative methods. This huge difference from the traditional style is likely to cause aesthetic discomfort in the early stage. But in the long run, there will always be some new gestures accepted and become new art.

In other words, he is dancing, seemingly epileptic graffiti, and maybe he can really find a new way.

Not only calligraphy, but all arts, once formed and matured, can only stagnate and eventually die out without the folk vitality that created it. Why don't we have the brilliant Yuan Qu of Tang poetry and Song poetry anymore? Art is mature and elegant, and countless experts have pushed the style of these things to the sky. When they see limerick, their eyes will drop blood. Where can there be creative vitality? Where will there be vitality? Just reminiscing about the prosperous Tang and Song Dynasties day and night, lamenting that the world is getting worse and worse, and people's hearts are not ancient-in fact, your mentality is ancient, and you can't tolerate new things and watch artistic changes.

Ugly books are the driving force behind the development of calligraphy.

The "official reform" in the history of calligraphy made seal script careless, turning rounded corners into squares and arcs into straight strokes. How ugly is this in the eyes of orthodox seal writers? Almost at the same time, there was "Cao Zhang", which was nonsense in the eyes of calligraphers at that time. It is estimated that when they look at those people writing about Cao Zhang, they look at the man with the needle ink. The cursive script of official script was ignored for many years, until Zhao Mengfu added regular script and official script brushwork to seal script in the late Song and early Yuan Dynasty. Today, this is an artistic breakthrough. At that time, people may not accept it all. Prior to this, the official script style occupied the mainstream of seal script aesthetics for a long time.

This is not necessarily the success of the ugly book.

Yan Zhenqing's face, which everyone must learn now, was once regarded as an ugly book during the periods of Ou Yangxun, Yu Shinan and Chu Suiliang, and it was not until the Song Dynasty that he turned over. Zhang Xu is known as the "crazy sage", and his creative attitude is very interesting now, but if it is now, many people will say that this man is putting on a show and fooling around. In the Song Dynasty, Mi Fei's calligraphy was not well spoken by many people at that time.

A large number of ugly books appeared in Qing dynasty, and regular script, official script and seal script in Qing dynasty all developed greatly. The so-called development is actually a breakthrough in orthodoxy. The regular script is crooked, the official script and the lacquer script are irregular and changeable, which is unprecedented.

Of course, not all ugly books are art, so let's leave time to this task. Today, we review the development of calligraphy. The breakthrough of these ugly books to traditional calligraphy was not attractive at that time, but time gave them artistic names.

Contemporary calligraphy art finds its own way.

Being contemporary, we are not qualified to judge contemporary artistic creation. These masters are grandstanding, but they are not necessarily not sincerely seeking breakthroughs; Some make people laugh, but there may not be a stream of consciousness, and there may not be a new genre.

You said he was after the money, which is completely understandable. Who doesn't want to live? Who really wants to be fooled? I don't despise them.

You said that if he didn't do it for money, he was really seeking a breakthrough on the road of calligraphy art, and he was just trying to explore different roads. Not only did I not despise him, but I even felt it unfair to laugh at them.

You said what they wrote was rubbish, the public would eliminate him, and time would eliminate him. A cavity of hard work and madness, and finally the rain blew away. What's so funny?

This kind of social and all-round sarcasm will only make people who have artistic exploration timid and afraid to move forward. Not only calligraphy, but also any field.

You look at him as if he were making a fool of himself. How easy is it to curse on the keyboard?

At least he is still looking for a breakthrough, because he has surpassed others in invitation.

I can't recognize the true face of Lushan Mountain because I am there.
