The art of calligraphy of the Chinese nation has a long history, whether it is Wang Xizhi, Ouyang Xun, Yan Zhenqing in ancient times, or Liu Gongquan in modern times, they are all outstanding representatives of the field of Chinese calligraphy, and their works have profoundly influenced Chinese cultural history, and also radiated to neighboring countries such as South Korea, Japan, Vietnam and Korea. From oracle bone script to Xingshu, each era and each calligraphy has unique writing characteristics, and this evolution also bears witness to the history of Chinese characters.
Today, the works of these ancient calligraphy masters are worth a fortune, some even millions or even tens of millions of yuan. This is not only because they are cultural relics and have a high collector's value, but also because they are masterpieces of ancient calligraphy, neatly written and valuable. However, nowadays, the calligraphy market seems to have changed. In the past, the quality of the word determined the price, but now people pay more attention to the celebrity effect behind the word.
Some celebrities such as actors, singers and celebrities can sell for high prices despite not necessarily high levels of calligraphy. This is because they have great popularity and influence in their respective fields, and people buy their calligraphy works more to pursue the celebrity effect. At the same time, few experts who have dedicated their lives to calligraphy are interested.
Take Zhu Zhiwen as an example, he was originally an ordinary farmer who participated in a talent show because he loved singing, and eventually won the championship and became a celebrity. Despite his limited literacy, his fame made his calligraphy works popular. Although some people jokingly call his words "ugly books", the celebrity effect makes his words also valuable.
Zhu Zhiwen's calligraphy is only an entertainment hobby, however, some people try to use his fame for improper gain. These people asked him for words, not because of the quality of the words, but in order to sell them at a high price with the help of his fame. Zhu Zhiwen's calligraphy works were auctioned off for extremely high prices, which caused dissatisfaction among calligraphy experts.
Experts believe that this is not a true art of calligraphy, but an abuse of the celebrity effect, which seriously damages the reputation of the art of calligraphy. Although some experts have expressed concern, it cannot be entirely attributed to Zhu Zhiwen. The root of the problem lies with those who abuse the celebrity effect for profiteering, and they are the crux of the problem. Zhu Zhiwen's calligraphy was just a hobby of entertainment, and he did not seek any financial benefits.
Therefore, the market phenomenon is complex and the celebrity effect will continue. In order to protect and enhance the reputation of the art of calligraphy, we need to strengthen the regulation of the calligraphy market and curb the abuse of celebrity effect. At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen the support and attention to calligraphy experts, so that their works can be more recognized and respected. Only in this way can we truly protect and inherit the precious calligraphy culture of the Chinese nation.
