It is often said that "there is no standard for calligraphy" or that "the benevolent see the wise and the wise", so the appreciation of calligraphy has a variety of opinions, each expressing their own opinions, bombasticism, and some people touch the fish in muddy waters, self-righteousness, scribble and scribble... In fact, in the appreciation and learning practice of calligraphy, the theory is already mature, and the principle has always been adhered to, mainly looking at the following three points:
1
Technical accuracy
It is often said that the words of a certain calligrapher are "pen and pen to be fine" and "the words are fine to". What is "fine-grained"? It is nothing more than to say that the calligrapher's dot paintings, structures, and chapters are precise and in place, in line with the law.
Speaking of dot painting, there is an image, the scale (thickness, length), weight and accuracy of use, can not be smeared at will.
Speaking of structure, there is a problem of the accuracy of the collocation position of the dot painting, which requires it to conform to the laws of center of gravity, flatness, symmetry, echo, jaggedness, and backsliding.
Shusheng Wang Xizhi once said: "If you are a little lost, like a beautiful person's illness and a glance, a painting is out of control, like a strong man's fold and a humerus, you must not be careless." This statement shows the importance of pointillist painting and its accurate position.
When preaching the chapter method, there is a problem of the accuracy of the overall layout, which requires that the cloth be properly whited and the line of qi run through. In addition, the content of the inscription, the content of the seal, the size and position of the words must have a certain degree of law, and it must not be chaotic, otherwise it will destroy the overall harmony. For different fonts, writing letters requires a flat font and a broken pen. Writing a line book requires a clear explanation of dot painting and traction. Jiang Baishi of the Song Dynasty said that the xingshu "is a point of view painting should be heavy, non-point painting at the occasional lead, its brush is light." Writing the letter of affiliation requires that "swallows do not fly twice". Writing cursive writing is more precise, and it must not be hastily followed.
In short, in the creation of calligraphy, those works that are very unimpaired in pointillism, structure and chapters can only show that their basic skills are not passed, of course, they are not calligraphy works of art. As for those works that have made typos or simplified and traditional chinese characters and used them together and misusedly, they are even less accurate. Commenting on the merits of a calligraphy work is generally to consider accuracy first, which is the cornerstone of calligraphy.

Stylistic distinctiveness
Distinctive, refers to the distinctive style. The distinctiveness of a calligraphy work is whether there is a calligrapher's own style in the creation of calligraphy, that is, whether it shows the calligrapher's own artistic characteristics and whether there is an irreplaceable personality.
The style of calligraphy works varies from person to person, and the style of the works will naturally be different due to the author's thoughts, knowledge, temperament, teacher inheritance, and experience in learning books. If the creation does not have its own style, people write books and books, and a thousand books are the same, will they not become "book slaves".
Calligraphy works require distinctiveness and require their own style, which is not a day's work, which has been created after a long period of tempering, and is not afraid of hard practice in the tradition of Chinese calligraphy art, and strives to cross the three processes of "single-mindedness, vastness and degeneration". Specifically, it is necessary to go through the entry of posts, posts, and posts (re-posts, posts out)... Only by collecting and taking from various families, making comprehensive comparisons, learning from each other's strengths and complementing each other's weaknesses, and constantly enriching themselves can we create a unique style.
3
The vividness of the work
Looking at a good calligraphy work, it is like drinking mellow, such as listening to famous songs, which will produce emotional excitement, making people can't bear to leave for a long time, and they can't stop. Why is it so effective? In addition to the accuracy and distinctiveness of the work mentioned above, it is to a large extent that the vividness of the work plays a role.
The vividness of calligraphy works often depends on the following aspects: the vividness of the dot painting and structural image; the vividness of the rhyme throughout the work; the vividness of the sense of the power of the dot painting; and the vividness of the ink throughout the text.
The three natures of calligraphy creation mentioned above can be used as the goal we pursue when creating, and can also be used as three rulers to measure the quality and height of a work.
Therefore, those who think that calligraphy has no standards are likely to be people who want to fish in muddy waters.
