How to deal with the contradiction between calligraphy and making money?
On the question of whether calligraphy can be exchanged for wealth? A book friend said that when calligraphy became rich, he was mostly gone. I very much agree with this statement. It is because he needs us to devote ourselves wholeheartedly, to eliminate all temptations and distractions, to pursue, to practice. But we also have a lot of calligraphers, they need to support their families, they need material backing, to maintain their own survival and inheritance. So, can we handle the contradiction between calligraphy and making money?
Is calligraphy important, or is it important to make money?
It is often said that bear paws and shark fin soup cannot be both. When you pursue art, you can't pursue material wealth. Only by handling this pair of contradictions well can bear paws and fish bones have both. I personally think it is still possible, there are three types, you see I analyzed correctly, right? Comment again.
The first type: to have their own clear goal, to become a calligrapher or to become a calligrapher. That is to say, the pursuit of calligraphy art is the ultimate goal he pursues. Calligraphy he pursues spiritual enjoyment. Then this type, you don't want to be tempted by any substance.

The third type: it is hopeless to struggle for many years, that is, it is impossible to enter the China Book Association. Then his own words are also very marketable and full of confidence. In the process of writing, the word enjoys the spiritual pursuit, for this group of people, I suggest that you study the market more, study what kind of words are needed by the people? Why Liu Xiaoqing's word is popular. In addition to celebrities, the words she wrote could be understood by ordinary people. But often our calligraphy art, sometimes especially writing cursive and grass, the people can't understand. Then we, the people, must build a bridge between the art of calligraphy and the love of the public. Let's not ignore this, it's the power of the group. In fact, they are also contributing to our calligraphy cause, they are making paving stones. This group of people, you can study a lot of how to do the market, how to do marketing, how to think about how to turn calligraphy into wealth as a commodity.
