I have always been confused that calligraphy is a unique art in China, and there are thousands of years of accumulation, whether it is writing skills or theoretical level, no country can compare. It is said that calligraphy is unique in the field of culture and art in the world, and it is the most proud category. However, the ideal is very full, the reality is too bone, such a huge cultural advantage, actually played as "cultural inferiority".
There is a work by Inoue on display at the Tsinghua University Art Museum
Calligraphy, the art category that should be most confident, humbly succumbs to Western art theory, and even the former Chinese calligraphy apprentice, Japan, can become a teacher, which is really absurd!
Inoue Ichi is making calligraphy
At a time when countries around the world are actively promoting their own culture and competing for cultural dominance, a group of so-called calligraphers who do not know whether their heads are squeezed by the door or their hearts are blackened, they reverently bow their heads to Western art, and they cannot stop it. Until now, the West has no calligraphy art, and it is impossible to be a calligraphy teacher in Chinese, but these people have to force others to be deceived, which is really a big fool in the world.
There is a work in the inoue
Inoue, the master of Japan's "ugly book" and the modern artist who has been praised to the heavens, catered to the development trend of Western art, transformed Japan's traditional calligraphy into a vulgar "ugly book", and finally won the recognition of Westerners, and was respected as an artist who represented Japan and became famous in the annals of world art history. Japan is dependent on Europe and the United States, and the emergence of such a so-called artist who abandons his own national traditions is inevitable. However, there are a group of people in China who worship this old man who cannot write as a "god", which is really a disgrace to the face of the ancestors and a disgrace to future generations.
Inoue's jianghu-style calligraphy would not have had even the slightest status in China, even the old farmers in the countryside would not look at him squarely. However, when Mr. Shen Penglao put forward the slogan of "promoting originality, respecting individuality, inside and outside the book, and advancing in the art", Chinese calligraphy suffered from "innovation" mania, but what stood in their way was the deep-rooted calligraphy tradition, and it was not easy to shake the tree of tradition.
Shen Peng's works
The first thing that these hysterical innovators thought of was to find theoretical support from European and American artistic ideas, so various art theories were moved into calligraphy creation. With a theoretical basis, there must also be practical examples, and there are no so-called calligraphers in Europe and the United States until now, which does not affect the reverence of the innovative school, which cannot be found from the West and from the East. I really let these people find it, that is, Inoueichi, who exhibited his works at the Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts this time.
Zhang Xuguang wrote in letters
Inoue's calligraphy style has influenced a large number of "innovative" chinese calligraphers, who create in an eye-catching way, and the focus is not on the word itself. Even zhang Xuguang of the Zhang Xuguang Calligraphy Studio of the Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts, distinguished professor of Tsinghua University, Zeng Xiang, who received strong support from Shen Peng, Liu Hongbiao, former vice chairman of the China Book Association, and Wang Dongling, a professor at the China Academy of Fine Arts, are more extreme, believing that calligraphy does not have to write Chinese characters, even if Chinese characters exist without calligraphy. Seventy years ago, Inoue's gang played like this, is it really delicious to eat what others pull out? Good to learn, bad to learn.
Zeng Xiang is creating
Inoue not only influenced the "innovative" development of Chinese calligraphy, but also cultivated a group of "filial piety and grandsons", and now he has come to Tsinghua University to hold exhibitions. If it is an academic exchange, this is nothing, but at the moment when the group of ugly books is indignant and hopes to be able to govern the ugly books, Inoue's "ugly books" are publicly exhibited at Tsinghua University, which is not as simple as cultural exchanges. The reason why this foreign "god" was invited was that some people hoped to use his strength to continue to soar on the road of "innovation" of calligraphy that deviated from tradition.
Works by Wang Dongling
Calligraphy, an art unique to the world, has produced calligraphy works that embody the times and have a Chia Tai atmosphere throughout the dynasties. Originally, this was our huge cultural advantage, but some people played as a vassal of foreign culture. It is true that there is no ancient person before, and there will be no one who will come after. The economic backwardness can be made up after hard work, and the cultural inferiority kneels down, and ladu cannot be pulled up.
The character on inoue is "ugly book", which is full of what the Qing Dynasty scholar Liu Xizai called "jianghu qi". These things cannot be climbed to the hall of elegance, and those who learn from him should wake up.
