There are also many calligraphers in modern times. Why can't everyone compare with ancient calligraphers?

From a technical point of view, the traditional brushwork and practical writing ability of contemporary calligraphers have greatly developed and improved as a whole. However, we should also see that the lack of self-cultivation of traditional culture and classical literature is still an unspeakable shortcoming for calligraphers, including many famous writers. It's not enough just to retire like a mountain. You have to read thousands of books to understand God. Literature is the content and theme of calligraphy art creation. Most of the ancient calligraphy classics preserved so far are poems written by writers themselves, and calligraphy and articles complement each other and blend into one.

On the other hand, calligraphers are still copying classical poems, and few people can really write their own poems and calligraphy, and even fewer people have good calligraphy and prose, and the artistic conception and charm of their works are still insufficient. How to improve the artistic accomplishment of calligraphy creators and the inherent quality of their works, from technology to Taoism, is the key to the promotion of contemporary calligraphy creation.

Contemporary calligraphers are faced with all kinds of temptations in the era of consumption, and easily lose themselves in the tide of market economy. Many calligraphers still lack awe of art and tradition. At present, the active art market has created good external conditions for calligraphers to obtain economic returns from artistic creation. The influence of non-artistic factors such as status and fame on the market value of calligraphy art leads calligraphers and book lovers to have a strong desire and pursuit of fame and fortune. There are many people who are keen on fame and fortune and self-hype, and their impetuous mentality spreads, which has nothing to do with the romantic atmosphere.

Character is a book, and it is neither high nor expensive. Calligraphers' feelings, styles and personalities are all reflected in the book. The highest realm of calligraphy is the full display of the calligrapher's spiritual world, and its style and charm are particularly valuable. Only when contemporary calligraphers have a correct attitude, take virtue, simplicity and emptiness as their bosom, get rid of the temptation and cage of fame and fortune, and concentrate on creation and academic research can they make great achievements.

The promotion of calligraphers' inner cultivation is the foundation of the prosperity and development of calligraphy creation, and the creation of calligraphy criticism atmosphere is the external ecology that needs to be advocated and constructed in the current development of calligraphy creation.

At present, the articles recommended by calligraphers' comments are endless, but there are many praises and few denials, and it is not uncommon for people to make mistakes. True criticism that really hits the nail on the head, faces the problem directly, and is objective and fair is often rare. In front of the work, the critic lost the courage and courage to criticize; In the face of criticism, calligraphers lack the mind and consciousness to face it calmly.

"Good medicine tastes bitter and is good for illness, but sincere advice is not good for action". Honest criticism is a good teacher and friend of calligraphers, and it is also of great benefit to the improvement of public aesthetic ability. There is no real criticism, only praise and flattery. How can we set things right, correct mistakes, foster strengths and avoid weaknesses? Without calligraphy criticism, the development of calligraphy will lose its guiding light. It should be the inner consciousness of every calligrapher and critic to advocate telling the truth and seeking truth from facts in calligraphy criticism and to promote the formation of an ecological environment that dares to criticize and is willing to accept criticism.
