Mr. Jiang Kun, a famous cross-talk actor, a calligraphy work was auctioned to 180,000, is it really value for money or celebrity effect? Is it worth the price? I have also liked Jiang Kun's cross-talk since I was a child, and I always feel that his cross-talk is good, but in any case, I can't associate him with calligraphy. I suddenly found that no matter whether you can calligraphy or not, as long as you are a celebrity, you can cross borders with a certain influence, and your every move will be held by someone, which is also mutually beneficial, and everyone has their own benefits. This is the case with Liu Xiaoqing's calligraphy exhibition.
Look carefully at Jiang Kun's calligraphy is still good, I think there is a certain foundation, much stronger than Liu Xiaoqing, much stronger than Sun Xiaoyun, Sun Xiaoyun's word powder is too heavy, lack of calligraphy should have the strength of beauty, strokes are weak and boneless. Jiang Kun developed a keen interest in calligraphy under the guidance of his father, and although Jiang Kun was engaged in acting, his calligraphy was also an important part of his amateur life. His calligraphy works have always been expensive, all over 10,000 yuan.
At present, as long as people with a little fame like to get closer to culture or art, calligraphy is their tool for accumulating wealth, and there is no artistic component in writing, and there is more banditry in the jianghu. Often take advantage of some fans' ignorance and stickiness of calligraphy, and take money out of their pockets in a big way, and the things they return are not as good as wiping butt paper. What a ridiculous! Jiang Kun, who was once the "Chinese Calligraphy Award", also attended as a special guest, and he paid a lot in calligraphy, and his words I think are much stronger than Sun Xiaoyun.
Sun Xiaoyun, is currently the head of the China Book Association, she has been studying hard in her calligraphy for 60 years, and has won numerous awards in her calligraphy career, it is said that in 2015, one of her calligraphy works was auctioned for a high price of 860,000 yuan, is it really worth such a high price? Who took it, or did it hype it up? I personally think she is also well-connected, not because of her expensive words? The people in the circle hold each other up, give each other a face, and make each other convenient in the future. Calligraphy is also a breeding ground for "elegant bribery".
In addition to appreciating calligraphy works, there is also a place for others to learn. Nowadays, many so-called calligraphers can only do line art to appreciate, and cannot copy and learn in front of students, because they are not recognized by teachers. If so, then what does the so-called calligraphy mean for its existence? For the calligraphy of Sun Xiaoyun, chairman of the China Book Association, I am neutral, and the artistic value is not so high, which can be seen by the famous calligraphers of ancient and modern times, such as Zhao Mengfu, Wen Zhengming, Li Beihai and so on. Contemporary Liang Dingguang, Tian Yingzhang, etc., Sun Xiaoyun's calligraphy is not as good as theirs, I think it is more that the network is more valuable, and it is just for mutual use.
In addition, there are too many typos in Sun Xiaoyun's calligraphy works, these typos are not book-based, I think she made them up, she may not be able to grasp some traditional character variants! Many of her strokes are not coordinated enough, some strokes appear deliberately exaggerated, some words are too white, the structure is loose, the glyphs are unstable, and the middle palace is not gathered, resulting in scattered glyphs. For the average calligraphy enthusiast is stronger, for professional calligraphers such as Liang Dingguang and Tian Yingzhang, she is just a primary school student.
Although Jiang Kun and Sun Xiaoyun both wanted to develop calligraphy, it was a pity that there was no deep Foundation of Wei and Jin, nor did they have the Tang And Song Intentions. So for their calligraphy works can be auctioned for such a high price, is it really worth it? Why didn't they have a poster? Or is there also a niche that no one learns? Calligraphy should be an elegant art, not a trick to carve insects. From a contemporary point of view, calligraphy has become a tool for some people to sell their fame and reputation, is it not the sadness of calligraphy?
Knock on the blackboard: I continue to share the calligraphy works of famous calligraphers in ancient and modern times and calligraphy textbooks, which is convenient for book lovers to copy and learn, and more resources to see my previous articles and videos. To learn calligraphy, you can refer to the video course of "Zong Shaolin Calligraphy Micro Classroom" and the book "Art Pen Calligraphy Tutorial - 55 Lectures on the Golden Rule of Xingshu" compiled by Zong Shaolin, which is mainly based on professional learning and systematic explanation and demonstration. Your attention, likes, comments, retweets, and appreciations are the driving force for me to continue to share.
