A few days ago, Yu Qiuyu, a famous cultural scholar and prose writer, gave an online interview and rarely talked about "ugly books." He proposed that "let the bottom line of public aesthetics not be broken, and not to impersonate 'beauty' with all kinds of strange and strange 'ugly', just as evil cannot be used to impersonate good!" And appealed to the Calligraphers Association: "Clean up the calligraphy that is too humiliating!" ”
As a famous cultural scholar, Yu Qiuyu certainly has an inclusive mentality. He said: "I have always believed that the field of art can be diverse, and freedom is always much better than not being free. So, for any innovation in calligraphy for painting, which seems a little strange, we should have enough tolerance, and we should not immediately deny it, because we don't need to have a very standardized national text. ”
Yu Qiuyu proposed to tolerate them, but definitely not to let them act arbitrarily. He turned sharply and continued: "But I hope that those who are innovative in all kinds, one thing to understand, on the one hand, I encourage you to diversify, on the other hand, I must let you understand that it does not matter if you write at home, but as long as you become an exhibition or write on the street, written on people's signboards, at this time, sorry, your calligraphy has become a public aesthetic." ”
"Public aesthetics are very important, that is, if something very ugly becomes a public aesthetic, the trouble is to make the citizens, especially children, adapt to 'ugly', which is very undeserved." Therefore, Professor Yu Qiuyu further appealed: "We very much hope that calligraphers' associations all over the country should be mobilized to clean up the so-called calligraphy that is 'too humiliating', some may be written by business bosses, some may be written by local officials, and so on! ”
Professor Yu Qiuyu hopes not to let public aesthetics "tend to be ugly", representing a kind of artistic aesthetic conscience and cultural positive energy, which is agreed by the vast majority of people. No matter how innovative the "ugly calligraphers" are, the bottom line of public aesthetics cannot be broken, ugly things cannot be allowed to impersonate and replace recognized aesthetics, and calligraphy should be returned to the standard of traditional Chinese culture, rather than being reduced to the shroud of Western art! Especially don't affect the ignorant next generation.
Of course, there are also some advocates of calligraphy innovation who think that Yu Qiuyu is "pedantic" and "dead brain"! Some netizens left a message saying: "The art industry has a specialty!" As far as calligraphy is concerned, the beauty in the eyes of the professional is high and ancient, it is simple, and the non-professional may look ugly. When those who have no artistic aesthetics see beauty at a glance, it must be superficial appearance beauty! In the eyes of the professional, it is kitsch. ”
