The following questions, please pay attention!
1. There are many people who write calligraphy, but there are very few calligraphers.
In the period when there were no pencils and pens in ancient China, everyone used brushes to write, and people who wrote well abounded, and there were only a few dozen who could call them calligraphers for thousands of years, among which Wang Xizhi, Zhiyong, Zhang Xu, and Huai Su called them calligraphers.
2. Why can't so many people who write well become calligraphers?
It is because writing and calligraphy are not a concept, and there are many people in modern times who call good writers calligraphers, which is not right.
3. Are "printed bodies" and "ugly books" count as calligraphy?
Strictly speaking, it doesn't count. Without further ado, take a look at the following image:

Calligraphy is art, can every word be called art?
Calligraphy is written first of all is the word, ugly enough to not recognize what can be called calligraphy?
The controversy between "printed body" and "ugly book" is the war between Dong Shi and Feng Jie, and there is no winner!
What is calligraphy? What is the Law?
Law is law, rule. Calligraphy is the rule of calligraphy art expression, without this rule is not called calligraphy.
So what are the rules of calligraphy?
The biggest difference between writing and calligraphy is:
Calligraphy must have four basic elements: penmanship, orthography, chapters, and ink. And casually written words or printed words, there is no need for these requirements. For example, snacks are equivalent to food, but food is not equal to snacks, the logic is the same.
The consequence of confusing writing with calligraphy is that the jianghu juggling, the old cadre body, the printing body, the ghost drawing symbol, etc. can touch the fish in muddy waters and boast of calligraphy.
For example, the following one wrote, can it be counted as calligraphy?
1. If there is no penmanship rule, it cannot be counted as calligraphy
1. Penmanship refers to the method of using the pen.
The methods of using the pen are: starting, closing, rounding, square, center, flanking, exposing, hiding, pressing, turning and so on.
2. Pen strength refers to the inner strength of the stroke.
Whether it is a strong or soft stroke line, there should be an inherent sense of strength in the use of the pen.
3. Gesture refers to the momentum formed when using the pen.
The gestures are broken and the momentum is continuous, and although the shapes of the pointillist paintings are different, the momentum is completely integrated.
4. The meaning of the brush is the feelings and interests expressed by the stroke lines.
This kind of interest is often the expression and expression of the author's feelings in calligraphy.
Second, if the knot is not exquisite, it is not counted as calligraphy
Chinese characters are composed of a variety of different strokes, how the strokes are combined to be beautiful, and the artistic skills of the structure are produced. Structures are also known as knots, knots, or interstitials. The structure of calligraphy often makes appropriate artistic arrangements for the structural laws of the text and the aesthetic taste of the author. These artistic laws are dense, virtual, sideways, symmetrical, harmonious, scattered, echoing and so on.
The structure of calligraphy is to express the formal beauty of the text according to these laws and techniques, giving the viewer a rich sense of beauty and interest, so as to cause endless artistic conception and interest.
Third, if there is no rule to follow, it is not counted as calligraphy
There is a difference in size. The small chapter method is how the dot painting relationship within one word is arranged, or how it is arranged between several words.
The dazhang law is not only the relationship between the whole text and the word, the line and the line, the main text and the falling paragraph and the use of the seal, etc., it requires that the words of a work have echoes and expectations between the lines, and must be coordinated and smooth and have a sense of unity. The composition of the chapter law mainly has the following four aspects:
1, word relationship: word relationship, word group relationship, pay attention to change and rhyme, breath flow gives people a pleasing beauty.
2, the shape system: that is, the specifications, such as the middle hall, banner, couplet, banner, bucket square, fan surface, etc.
3. Main text: This is the main part of the work, and the writer should decide the layout of the chapter according to the difference in word count, font and shape.
4. Line paragraph: that is, falling paragraph, refers to the text outside the main text. There are upper and lower paragraphs and long, short and poor money. The content is generally the source of the main text, the object of the book gift, the time, the reason for writing, the language, etc., and the next paragraph is the time, the book or the house, the name, etc. However, in general, it is rare to write all of them, so most of them are short and poor. It may be subject to the needs of the Constitution.
Fourth, superior calligraphy also needs to pay attention to the use of ink
Ink method is also often valued by calligraphers. The methods of using ink are: thick ink, light ink, dry ink, dry ink, wet ink, ink and so on.
Light ink, the ancients did not use most of the books, Ming Dong Qichang loved to use light ink, and in modern times it was widely used, and in one word, thick and light were used interchangeably, and between strokes, each other penetrated into each other to produce rich meaning.
