Yan Zhenqing calligraphy
What is calligraphy
Crooked, loose, light, open...
Through the lifting of the brush, the sudden setback, the urgency,
The rhythm is fast and slow and produces beautiful rhythms;
Through the dot line, the form dominates,
Left and right up and down the pull side obliquely,
Balance, size, staggered, moving, retracting,
In a dynamic, static expression,
Shows interdependence,
Reflecting the deep meaning of the "calligraphy" that echoes and contrasts with each other,
This is calligraphy.
Before I didn't understand what calligraphy was, I often said that the words that were written neatly, well- and beautifully, were described as calligraphy, and the people who wrote these words were also called calligraphers, and later I understood that calligraphy and writing were completely two different concepts.

Calligrapher and calligraphy
Those who write well, are very formal, very good-looking, and may not necessarily call him a calligrapher, but some are just a "bookmaker", a "writer", the so-called "teaching craftsman", the same meaning. That is, they all only have a shell, but no thoughts of their own, well-written words, no thoughts of their own, no temperament of their own. Therefore, it cannot be "home", and the biggest difference between "home" and "craftsman" is precisely here.
The printed body is not calligraphy
The printed body is not calligraphy, if so, the wall song style advertising painter is a calligrapher. The so-called "home" has its own thoughts, and the "craftsman" has no own thoughts, just like a carpenter and a bricklayer do. He can copy, repeat, he is manufacturing, but not creation, and the copy can only be called science, such as those lead words can be copied, those fine art words can also be copied in batches, so those can "incarnate into hundreds of billions" of stereotyped art style characters are not called art, not called calligraphy, only those that cannot be copied are called art.
Calligraphy, painting, especially something rich in creation and unique personality is called "home", "something with personality is beautiful" – Rodin's words once again ring in our ears.

Calligraphy is not reproducible
What can be copied is worthless, that is, high-tech mobile phones, computers and the like are also worthless, and things such as Rodin, Van Gogh, and Picasso are valuable because they cannot be copied. A philosopher said, "The only thing that can be preserved forever is art." On the other hand, only the art remains permanent, and the difference between the non-replicable art of calligraphy and the copywriter who can be copied lies in this.
We see that many of the words are written very badly, "crooked", "bad", but calligraphy. And the words that are written in a regular manner are very beautiful but do not call it calligraphy, and some people are not convinced and do not understand. Both writing and calligraphy must reflect beauty, but the realm is different, the former is practical beauty, the latter is artistic beauty.
Calligraphy is the expression of feelings
Calligraphy is through the emotional expression, breaking through the "law" and get the meaning, and although the practical beauty is also beautiful, but to write square, flush, left and right balance does not cross the grid, this is the difference, so it is a teacher who teaches to write brush characters, his brush writing is not necessarily a calligrapher, he can only be regarded as a "teaching craftsman". The word teacher is very graphic, and the gentleman who teaches generally does not have to have his own thoughts, he wants to educate students to teach according to the norms of the textbook.
Su Shi calligraphy is a representation of ideography and a catharsis of feelings
He is not called a calligrapher for writing well, but a calligrapher who is controversial in writing, and this understanding will never be agreed upon by all people.
In modern times, calligraphy is an art, not a daily arithmetic, not Mandarin, not home cooking.
Wang Duo's calligraphy ushered in a new era
There is another thing, the calligrapher is still born from writing, there is no half of the pond kung fu, and there is no strange thing that a calligrapher suddenly appears in the air.
The highest state of calligraphy is the highly skilled application of the Dhamma, that is, the law that cannot be done is the ultimate law.

Calligraphy is not copied
If you are inadvertent, just like practicing boxing and dancing swords, when you are coaching, there is a trick and a style, and when you really fight, there is no mouth trick at all, all rely on the use of play, then pay attention to the spirit as the top, the shape and quality are secondary, the wind and bone temperament of the law is uncertain, and the Yanmei function is lower, in order to express thoughts and feelings, ideals, interests, and hobbies.
Of course, calligraphy must rely on Chinese characters, such as departing from the basic structure of Chinese characters and the essence of dotted lines, and cannot be considered Chinese calligraphy. The expression of calligraphy is not like painting, sculpture imitates the shape of objects, does not narrate stories like literature, painting is composed of "faces" (also using lines), and calligraphy is composed of "lines", which always uses lines to express emotions, which is the most important aesthetic feature of calligraphy art.

Calligraphy and music have some similarities, with melodies and tones, rhythms and other effects to evoke beauty and express thoughts and emotions. Music is an invisible sound, and calligraphy is a tangible sound.
