Contemporary calligraphy is no longer the same as previous calligraphy. The calligraphy created by the ancients has not only become a legal post for thousands of years, but also set an example for future generations in many ways. However, in contemporary times, many calligraphy lovers who love Lishu learn ancient classics by copying, and when they participate in calligraphy competitions, they will also write characters very similar to the ancients in glyphs, and the works they send out will often sink into the sea.

Some people may think that it is wrong to write the glyphs of the official script beautifully? Do you have to write ugly in order to be favored by the judges in the calligraphy competition? What is the reason for this? Actually, it does not mean that it is wrong to write the characters beautifully. Some people used to say that I liked the characters of the contemporary calligrapher Liu Bingsen very much, so I followed the imitation and learned, but I still sent out the works, and I never won them, so it seems that there is a problem with the direction of learning. Indeed, in the contemporary calligraphy exhibition, if Liu Bingsen himself sent his works, he might not be able to enter the exhibition.

As a result, some people asked, "What's wrong with contemporary calligraphy?" Why can't you write well but can't be included in the exhibition, but those works that are very ugly and ugly can often be included in the exhibition? Could it be that the judges' vision has changed, or are the works in the exhibition written by the judges' students? Or is there a "collective loss of wisdom" in the aesthetics of contemporary people? I think these are not the main reasons, and the following is an analysis of these reasons for your reference.

First of all, the contemporary aesthetic of calligraphy has undergone significant changes in several ways. On the one hand, it is necessary to have the level of learning from the ancients, and how well to learn from the ancients, this is the foundation. On the other hand, people pay a lot of attention to the deformation of the official book, that is, the change of the glyph, and there is no way out for those who completely copy the ancients, because the judges all know what the official book written by the ancients looks like, and how it has changed in your place, if you will not change, it means that you have only learned from the ancients, and not yourself, which is called "rooted in tradition, encourage innovation", you can't do without innovation.

Secondly, contemporary calligraphy also needs to change the color of the ink. Most of the ancient official books appeared in the form of epitaphs, cliffs, steles, etc., and those carved on the stone of the official scripts, they were simply dead lines or dot paintings, and had nothing to do with the color of the ink. On this basis, the judges will also examine how you use ink in writing, and write a version of the inscription with a brush, which is also a key issue to examine a person's calligraphy level, but if a road goes to the end, the whole production is written in black, and the judges will definitely not look at it.

Finally, there should also be artistic changes in the official book. Don't think that Lishu is the main book, its glyphs and sizes are the same, if you think so, do this, the judges will definitely think that this work lacks artistry, and it is impossible to let it enter the exhibition. The size of the glyph in the official book can be changed, the shade of the ink can also be changed, the thickness and length of the dot painting can also be changed, of course, the density in the chapter space can still be changed, in short, only the change of calligraphy can make the calligraphy more prominent, such works will be loved by the critics, is in line with the requirements of contemporary calligraphy art.

According to the characteristics and laws of some of the works in the exhibition, they are changing everywhere. For example, some people study "Ode to the Stone Gate", how does this change? Some people make the glyphs longer, thicker the lines, and the space inside the characters tighter, or these changes and cross changes, and in general, the methods are accumulated in practice. How do you learn Lishu? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area to express your views and discuss together.
