What's the difference between orthodox calligraphers and Jianghu calligraphers? How to evaluate orthodox calligraphers?

In our long history, in addition to many outstanding writers, poets and poets, calligraphers also occupy a very important proportion. When we study calligraphy now, the fonts we see are basically created by ancient calligraphers, and these fonts have their own styles. The difference between orthodox calligraphers and Jianghu calligraphers should be in the study and innovation of calligraphy. Orthodox calligraphers are the real inheritors of calligraphy culture, and their attitude towards calligraphy will be more pious and serious.

First, there are two kinds of orthodox calligraphers among calligraphers, one is orthodox calligrapher and the other is Jianghu calligrapher. Orthodox calligraphers refer to those who have studied calligraphy since childhood and have always maintained a strong interest in calligraphy. Orthodox calligraphers are constantly practicing and innovating calligraphy on the basis of predecessors, so they stand on the shoulders of giants and further explore. Such calligraphers have a deep understanding of calligraphy, so they can often make new changes on the basis of their predecessors and form their own fonts and styles.

Second, Jianghu calligraphers Jianghu calligraphers, as the name implies, have a feeling of informality. Jianghu calligraphers are basically self-contained and have never studied professional calligraphy. In terms of calligraphy, they are completely self-taught, just by mistake. Jianghu calligraphers have never learned professional calligraphy knowledge, and it is easy to repeat the old ways of their predecessors, which is actually useless. Jianghu calligraphers also write in disorder, without their own system or fixed style.

Third, the biggest difference between calligraphers who inherit the orthodox Datong and Jianghu calligraphers lies in whether they stand on the basis of their predecessors for further study. Jianghu calligraphers are completely groping by themselves, and it is difficult to make any new achievements, but orthodox calligraphers are different. Orthodox calligraphers are the inheritors of China's calligraphy, and they have devoted their lives to the inheritance of calligraphy. Compared with Jianghu calligraphers, their attitude is serious and single-minded.
