Xue Fubin, a 78-year-old calligrapher, said that calligraphers should have responsibility, others should ask you for advice, you must dare to tell the truth, dare to criticize, especially as a judge of the national exhibition, but also dare to speak out. For example, if some people criticize him, whether they can understand or not is a question, and whether they can accept it is another matter. Now there is a problem that the calligraphy community cannot hear criticism.
In fact, from an academic point of view, we should be mutually exclusive, and one is that we should understand each other, and only by understanding can we understand each other. But our current environment is not to be criticized. Everyone likes to listen to good words, a symposium and a comment, everyone says how to be good, how to innovate, how to surpass the predecessors, very few people criticize in person. I know that I am telling a lie, and others know that you are telling a lie, but they all love to listen.
Even if there is a little criticism, you still have to turn a corner, use a very kind tone or say the law, only in this way can you make the other party accept it in your heart. Xue Fubin said, I can't do it, I'm not good at this set. Sometimes I don't want to turn this corner, talk more straight, and point out directly if there is a problem. If you can accept it, it may be good for you; if you are not happy to accept my criticism, I will not say it.
Xue Fubin said that once in the "National Exhibition" selection, I checked out a work from the pile of rotten paper that the judge had discarded, and finally let this good work be selected. Zhang Xuguang, former deputy secretary general of the China Book Association, commented that Mr. Daxue was the "high-eyed" in our judges, with high eyes, and that he was blunt. Ordinary people do not tell the truth in many cases, but Mr. Xue dares to tell the truth and dares to speak out for the unknown calligraphy creators.
Other judges have been eliminated, the general portrait situation will not be said, and this author has nothing to do with me, nor is he a Beijinger, nor do I know, I will pick it up. Do you know what to write? Writing Yan Ti Kai Shu, Yan Ti Kai Shu some are, and the general judges do not enter the eyes at all. At that time, Zhang Xuguang was the deputy leader and deputy director of the judging committee, and I said Xuguang, you look at this work, throw it away.
I said that this Yan body italic book is not ordinary, writing is very relaxed, can write so easily, so casual, the style of the Yan body is particularly obvious, I said this is a master ah, how to give it a random elimination? Zhang Xuguang looked at it and said it was good, you take it first! He said let Mr. Xue talk about it, and I said that from the perspective of calligraphy, it is not rigorous, not one move and one style, but it is precisely because it is not rigorous that I can see the maturity of this author, which is his novelty.
I said to the judges in this room, I said I think this level is OK. Everyone said that it can be, not bad. The result went up and was successfully selected. You say that if I hadn't picked it up casually, if I hadn't dared to speak out, wouldn't I have ruined such a good work? I don't even know this author, so as a judge of the national exhibition, I must dare to speak out.
What does this mean? The eyes of the judges must be fair, and they must have the eyesight, and you can see the benefits of it. The person who gives people to be eliminated is either selfish or has no eyesight, and he can't see that the thing is good at all, this is the level.
