Random elephant is fascicular inside today's calligraphy domain, the whole nation all like that. Asing if is calligrapher everywhere. Because the society is undesirable the edify of bad habit, this kind of undesirable phenomenon also appeared in calligraphy domain. Investigate its reason, because,be above all a few people eager for quick success and instant benefit, think shortcut. They to do sth unconventional or unorthodox, try to please the public with claptrap, and abandon calligraphic art rule and classical model appearance, with ugly for the United States, with wild to surprise; Take the branch for the root even, became calligraphy " endorse " , " pour a book " , " work along both lines " street variety.
To such waste calligraphy even waste character, we are very distressed. The Chinese has ancestor to adore originally adore with the character, this is the Chinese's religion. The Chinese ought to maintain awe-stricken heart to the character. Because the Chinese character condenses the hematic arteries and veins of the Chinese nation, it is the password of culture of several chiliad China and one of the most important pillar.
The 2nd reason is, today's calligraphy lacks extensive in that way like ancient time masses base. Consider the calligraphy phylogeny that rises more than 3000 years medium from inscriptions on bones or tortoise shells of the Shang Dynasty, the person that China keeps brush word can be amounted to billions of. So extensive and solid masses base and culture are accumulated, any other art cannot are likened to. The acknowledge that people had pair of pen and ink in the past and experience.
Can write philtrum of brush word ten million in everybody, you want to become calligrapher, can be assiduous effort only, diligent in an attempt to. Like Chinese generation Zhang Zhi faces Chi Xueshu, chi Shui uses up Chinese ink. Really, do not have his road besides. And now, ever was people wrote the brush of the tool to be replaced by the clavier of good drawing and computer. Today's masses is right writing is without feeling masses, see the person that can write on rice paper with brush very gasp in admiration, think this is calligrapher.
Causing the 3rd account that book world chaos resembles now is, modern is short of to the acknowledge of character of calligraphy art term break, lost discern the United States' ugly aesthetic standard. Every kinds of art has his unique language system, and establish a skill by this language system creation and judge admired level. The language of art of avery kind of still is including its skill and appearance appearance. You jump ballet, that has " do the splits to jump greatly " , " cuts type to change to jump personally " , " sucks a leg to turn " is waited a moment.
Calligraphy also is such: Told a dot to be like headroom dropping stone in the past, vertical stroke is like withered cane of 10 thousand big pool; "Knot word changes because of from time to time, the through the ages that use a pen is not easy " ; The word should have strength, call " force to appear paper to carry " of keen of " , " on the back to wait a moment. This is pair of calligraphy the vivid description of this kind of special language. The acknowledge of artistic to calligraphy language did not have modern, this lost a standard. Actually character of calligraphy art term has word of law of alleged art of composition, calligraphy or drawing, Chinese ink, knot; Circle of the in the right way that use a pen hides dew, have dry wet shade with Chinese ink, travel pen has carry the disease that press Xu, knot word has bow with hands clasped to get out of the way to close. This is its artistic language.
Accordingly, I think to be necessary to encourage establish association of essayist of a calligraphy (but must not be the government) , the elite that gathered together to countrywide calligraphy studies and be created, the target builds calligraphy art to criticize the standard of ancient bronze mirror hard namely, increase capacity of popular calligraphy appreciate, lead calligraphy to invent grand door the right way.
A few painters also often should write send a person, because feel to write,be gesture the picture is easy. "Actually this is wrong. Calligraphy and brushwork have his distinctive language euqally, you mastered pictorial language, do not be equal to mastered calligraphic language. Rather, calligraphy is the basic skill that China draws. Calligraphy is the basic skill that China draws..
So, how is should evaluating work of a calligraphy good be still bad? I think the standard is very simple: Accord with the work of natural way, it is good work.
Although calligraphy serves as abstract art, appreciation rises the artistic appreciation with taller need, but ministry defend oneself of the introduction was worn very simple also, anybody also can learn appreciate. You judge the relative superiority or inferiority of work of a calligraphy, a main factor communicates the way that gives nature in this work namely. What is the path of nature? It is the path of yin and yang, the elemental mutual promotion and restraint between the five elements of contradictory.
In calligraphy art deep accumulate containing this kind of order gender and add up to purpose sex. We tell calligraphy or drawing, center has side sharp edge; Travel pen, disease having Xu has speed. These artistic elements are mutual and contrary, mutual promotion and restraint between the five elements, some people write it seems that full paper cloud and mist, did not master good frustration to carry however by, so flirtatious and faint. Stress Chinese ink quality, have dry wet shade. A word can Cang Runjian is applied, chinese ink color is rich and changeful, charm of this talent spirit is vivid. If full paper is pitch-black dense, you looked to feel very frowsty definitely, choking. Knot word has volume, side, bow with hands clasped to let, open the change that combine, this ability forms a harmonious canto.
Look in me, "Everythings on earth enjoys back in order to hold this world in the arms " . This kind of understanding to natural everythings on earth, it is calligraphic not only essential, it is the hematic arteries and veins of China tradition culture and marrow more. The path of calligraphy, it is not just absolutely " write the word beautiful " , and the information that is the gradual progress of chiliad China culture that it bears the weight of and delivering, conveying ethical dignity and culture self-confidence, and the homage to the wise man.
Skill of calligraphy or drawing of work of a lot of calligraphy is very good, but be without life and thought. Because, it cannot of the writing line work and book home comprehend understanding, and artistic conception of written poetic article affection, the expression with organic perfect union comes out. This is a lot of calligrapher are defective, he became the artisan that copy a book, just copy an a poem, article come out. This does not call calligraphy, because it does not have a thought, without life.
In how judging calligraphy art " elegant " with " common " , I think to also have my level, a work can convey the reflection when the author is created and idea, and the creation passion of full of author, namely " elegant " ; Contrary, machine-made, drab repeat, be without the work that creates thought and passion is " common " .
