In the Internet age, various calligraphy forums and chat groups, all kinds of voices are rampant, there are sweet words flattering, there are harsh pertinent, there are people who do not understand blind spraying, there are ironic and sarcastic... What are the mantras? Which ones can be listened to? What should be ignored? No matter how well you write, you don't have to care about the comments of these people below.
First, there is no ink in the chest, and there is no traditional cultural education;
There are people in this kind of people, they can only say the skin, either rhetoric, or the wrong words to people, or the branches of the outside, the evaluation of calligraphy in addition to the ugly book can not say a word of emphasis, the specification is in the chest inkless, ignorant, no rules.
Second, there is little general understanding of the history of Chinese calligraphy;
Such people cannot evaluate calligraphy from the perspective of history and humanities, for example, if they do not understand the background of the creation of the "Orchid Pavilion Preface" and the "Sacrifice nephew manuscript", they cannot understand the natural attributes of writing; if they cannot understand the calligraphy flow of the Jin, Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, it is difficult to understand the origin of the calligraphy style such as Wang Duo, and even regard He Shaoji's calligraphy as an ugly book.
Third, do not write calligraphy, do not have calligraphy skills;
Basically, he walks according to his own feelings, but his bad feelings are still wrong. For example, if you say that you failed to be selected for the national exhibition because of the content, he told you that his master was the vice chairman of the Chinese Calligraphers and Painters Association and studied with his master.
Fourth, the method is too low and too close, especially those who have learned today;
Taking the method too low, that is, only staying in Tang Kai or a certain popular, popular book style; and taking the law too closely, such as learning the book of the present people, so it is difficult to take the law to experience the essence of the ancients' brushwork and the way of change, such as Xuetian Kai's evaluation of the Chu Suiliang horizontal painting you wrote is too slender and powerless to make you cry and laugh, you say that the pavilion body lacks changes, he said that you understand a fart.
Fifth, the view of calligraphy has obvious misunderstandings and is too subjective.
This kind of person sits in the well and looks at the sky, lacks in-depth interpretation and understanding of calligraphy, and the poverty of his own talent leads to extreme calligraphy thinking, ugly books are ugly, and his appreciation of calligraphy is limited to "beautiful" and "ugly", and he cannot understand higher attainments and pursuits at all.
Without these basic conditions above, no matter how "nice" or "ugly" his words are, you don't have to care too much. People who are generally able to meet or approach the above conditions, their opinions, can be dialectically listened to.
