Zeng Xiang's calligraphy, taken from the Fabei Stele Erzhu Folk, etc., also integrates Han Li and Thessalology, with thick lines and unique styles, but it is very controversial. It can even be said that his inheritance and expression of traditional calligraphy has caused great "damage". It triggered two extreme kinds of comments, some obsessed and followed, and many more disgusted.
Mr. Zeng Xiang wrote the Spring League not long ago, which caused a large number of book friends to pay attention to it after being posted on the Internet, and some netizens complained that posting this Spring League can exorcise demons and ward off evil spirits, and even contraception.
The brain hole is wide open! The predecessor of the Spring League is the Peach Rune, perhaps, there are thousands of people who write the Spring League, but Zeng Xiang wrote the original intention of the Peach Rune "praying for blessings and destroying disasters"?
Just like the above set of Spring Festival works, Zeng Xiang's view of calligraphy has always been very unique: "A calligrapher must first be a designer of Chinese characters. To focus on the artistry of the Chinese characters themselves and the beauty of the Chinese character modeling, it may be more valuable, the thinking will be more open, and the boundaries of avant-garde, traditional, and classical will not exist. ”
Such an avant-garde view is understood and taken as a guideline, of course, more people cannot understand and cannot accept.
If you look at it from the perspective of "Chinese character design", Zeng Xiang is successful, and he thoroughly expresses the visual impact of Chinese characters to the fullest. However, as a criterion for the creation of traditional calligraphy in the "appreciation of elegance and customs", it is obvious that in the eyes of most ordinary people, Zeng Xiang has failed. After all, most ordinary people prefer to like straight and beautiful words.
Zeng Xiang, a native of Hubei, is currently a researcher of the National Academy of Painting of China, the secretary general of the Calligraphy and Seal Engraving Institute of the National Academy of Painting of China, the director of the Institute of Seal Engraving, the master tutor of the Graduate School of the China Academy of Arts, and the researcher of the China Book Court.
For the Spring League written by Mr. Zeng Xiang, most netizens are confused and crazy!
"Is this the legendary ghost drawing?"
"Whoever hangs such a blessing word, the thief will be scared away."
But there are also netizens from a visual point of view: most people write the Spring League, that is, fat zhengda, you see 3 seconds is enough. But Zeng Xiang wrote the Spring League, you can either watch 3 minutes, or scold for 30 minutes, aren't you happy?
The scolding is still scolding, and the joy is still happy. Zeng Xiang was still very happy.
