The current situation of calligraphy is that some people say that a hundred flowers bloom, and more people say that it is a mixture of fish and eyes. But judging from the reaction of the people, it is more inclined to the latter. Although the various calligraphies are dazzling, the most active ones are the most scolded. In fact, this kind of activity can not be compared with the activity of Pang Zhonghua and Tian Kai in those years, Pang and Tian's activity is manifested in the folk hot practice of their writing posters, and now the so-called activity of calligraphy is manifested in the creators' own frequent appearances and performances, dominating the screen in an out-of-line manner, if they return to the environment without the Internet, they are unknown. Because their calligraphy cannot be transmitted in the folk, this kind of calligraphy has no vitality.
In this regard, the famous writers and prose writers have said the true thoughts of contemporary calligraphy performers, and he believes that those calligraphers who write ugly books are nothing more than wanting the people to adapt to their ugly books, so as to achieve the brainwashing effect of making the people inseparable from right and wrong, and the beauty and ugliness are difficult to distinguish. Therefore, he strongly recommended that the Chinese Book Association should make a difference and "clean up the calligraphy that is too humiliating."
Yu Qiuyu was not accustomed to reading some ugly books
Of course, Yu Qiuyu is not against artistic pluralism, he has always believed that "we should have enough tolerance for the emergence of new culture, and we should not immediately deny it, because we do not need to have a very standardized national text." "But he believes that inclusion doesn't mean you can act arbitrarily." Although there is no standard for beauty and ugliness, there is a public bottom line. The people's public aesthetic bottom line cannot be broken. The whole society thinks that things are ugly, and you are still forcibly saying that people do not understand, relying on time and advertising to force the masses to adapt. For this kind of art, you play at home, there is no problem," but as long as you become an exhibition or write on the street, written on people's signs, at this time, sorry, your calligraphy has become a public aesthetic." 」 ”
Wang Yong's calligraphy has been criticized by the people
He finally stressed, "The bottom line of public aesthetics cannot be broken, individual aesthetics cannot be allowed to impersonate and replace public aesthetics, and calligraphy should be returned to the basic position of traditional Chinese culture, rather than becoming a shroud of Western art!" So as not to affect the next generation that is not deeply involved in the world. Most netizens expressed deep support for this, but some netizens did not think so. They are convinced that after many years, these innovative calligraphers will be admired by the people like the great calligraphers of ancient times. So do you think Mr. Yu Qiuyu's words are wrong?
