The two calligraphy masters won the Lifetime Achievement Award, but the calligraphy was questioned by netizens: such a calligraphy has never been seen

For calligraphy writers, it is not easy to get a Lanting Award, if you can get the highest award in the calligraphy industry, it means that your calligraphy level can also enter the top ranks, in fact, there is another award in the calligraphy circle that is more rare than the Lanting Award, it is the Lanting Award Lifetime Achievement Award, in 2006, the two masters of the calligraphy industry, Ouyang Zhongshi and Shen Peng, won this honor at the same time.

Ouyang Zhongshi was born in 1928, is a heavyweight predecessor in the field of calligraphy, even the famous calligrapher Tian Yingzhang is his student, Mr. Ouyang Zhongshi has been practicing calligraphy since childhood, and later was admitted to Peking University, and his chinese studies skills are very deep.

Mr. Zhongshi's calligraphy is calm and elegant, taking the law and ancient, especially his writing is very characteristic, deeply loved by calligraphy enthusiasts, perhaps too famous, Ouyang Zhongshi was also targeted by thieves in 2012, the thief actually had the audacity to sneak into Ouyang Zhongshi's home to steal the present and calligraphy, fortunately, someone found the thief, after a chase, finally the thief lost the calligraphy and paintings, but ran with cash, but it did not take long for him to fall into the legal net.

Another winner, Mr. Shen Peng, was the chairman of the China Book Association and is now the honorary chairman of the China Book Association, his calligraphy is unique, especially cursive, very popular in the calligraphy community, and his calligraphy works have been repeatedly auctioned at high prices in the auction market and have been acquired.

Both masters of calligraphy were known for their cursive writing, but not many were written in italics, and many people had not even seen their italics.

First of all, let's look at Ouyang Zhongshi's calligraphy, which is neither Ou Kai nor Yan body, which is very different from the traditional sense of calligraphy, the strokes and knots are not rigorous enough, the law is lacking, and it also has the taste of handwriting, although it integrates the characteristics of many calligraphers, but it has not formed its own style.

Looking at Shen Peng's calligraphy, there are also such shortcomings, his calligraphy looks a bit like a book, the writing is too casual, there is no traditional calligraphy, if it is not the viewer knows that it is from his arm, it is estimated that many people still think that it is written by beginners in calligraphy.

As the basic introductory font of calligraphy, it is not easy to practice writing well, there is no good foundation for many years of hard practice, like Ouyang Zhongshi and Shen Peng, in the eyes of many people, it is not a pass, of course, perhaps the two masters are too skilled in calligraphy, have reached the point of doing whatever they want, breaking through the traditional rules of calligraphy.
