Preamble:
On the big stage of our contemporary multiculturalism, there is really nothing new.
Today, let's talk about calligraphy in traditional Chinese culture and see how it is rejuvenated in this modern society.
Calligraphy is an old treasure in our Chinese culture.
From ancient times to the present, it carries not only thousands of years of history, but also stories hidden in every stroke.
To this day, many artists have not thrown it aside, and they have used this brush to play new tricks on paper.
Jiang Kun calligraphy: a fusion of tradition and innovation
If you want to talk about Jiang Kun, he is a well-known figure in the cross talk world.
When people have a mouth on stage, they can make the big guy lean back and close.
But did you know? On the road of art, he is not willing to only spin in cross talk, no, he stepped into the circle of calligraphy with one foot.
Why is Mr. Jiang Kun interested in calligraphy? I pondered, probably because he has been in cross talk for so many years and knows the charm of traditional culture.
I feel that it is not enough to just talk about it, I have to pick up the pen and write the love for art in my heart.
If you want to talk about the characteristics of Jiang Kun's calligraphy, it is really both traditional and innovative.
He has a respect for traditional calligraphy, and every stroke reveals the rules and charm of the ancients.
But he was not willing to just follow the old path, and had to add some new ideas of his own.
Just like cooking, the traditional method is the foundation, and he added some of his own unique seasoning to make the dish even more delicious.
If you look at his "Fu" character, it is written in a full and round way.
This blessing word, we Chinese love to post it during the New Year, and the picture is auspicious.
Jiang Kun wrote this blessing, and the strokes were like chubby elves, gathering together happily, revealing a festive energy.
When he was creating, he must have thought about writing his blessings to everyone.
There is also the painting "Tranquility and Far-reaching", which is written vigorously and powerfully.
Each stroke seems to be well thought out, unhurried, yet unwavering.
This is like Mr. Jiang Kun's own attitude towards life, no matter how lively the outside world is, he always has a tranquility in his heart and pursues lofty goals.
Jiang Kun can integrate the sense of humor in the art of cross talk into the pen and ink, which is really a good trick.
His words are sometimes like a joke he tells on stage, at first glance it doesn't look like much, but if you think about it carefully, hey, it's interesting! For example, some of the sketches he wrote, the trend of the strokes seems to be squeezing your eyebrows and making eyes, revealing such a playful energy.
Guo Degang's Calligraphy: Individuality and Free Expression
Let's talk about Guo Degang, who is also a great character.
On the cross talk stage, it was radiant and made the audience laugh.
But people are not satisfied with this, and have to put their talents to the field of calligraphy.
From the cross talk stage to the art of calligraphy, Guo Degang is like a martial arts master, and he still plays vigorously with a weapon.
He poured his personal charm in cross talk on this rice paper all the time.
Guo Degang's calligraphy works are called a full of personality and free and easy.
He doesn't care about any rules and regulations, he can write whatever he wants.
is like the joke he said in the cross talk, imaginative, unrestrained.
For example, the "elegant and elegant" he wrote, the words are written crookedly, but if you look closely, you feel that there is a different kind of charm.
It's as if he's saying to you, "Don't look at me in a conventional light, I'm so unique!" ”
His calligraphy is red and purple on the Internet.
Why? Because everyone is used to reading the rules and regulations, suddenly seeing such a personality thing, I feel fresh.
Some people like it so much that they say that this is called art, which is eclectic.
Some people pouted and said what this is written, messing around.
No matter what you say, Guo Degang's calligraphy has attracted everyone's attention, and this is the ability.
If you look at those who like his calligraphy, they really hold him in the palm of their hands.
feels that his words are like his cross talk, which makes people's eyes shine and their hearts are happy.
But those who don't like it are also unceremonious, criticizing him as useless.
But so what? Guo Degang doesn't care, how to write or write.
Pen and Ink Jianghu: A cultural duel without gunpowder
Let's compare Jiang Kun and Guo Degang's calligraphy together, it's really interesting.
In terms of artistic style, Jiang Kun's is like a steady elder, step by step, walking solidly; Guo Degang's is like a naughty child, bouncing and full of energy.
The creative concept is also very different.
Jiang Kun innovates on the basis of tradition, just like building a house, first laying a solid foundation, and then adding bricks and tiles; Guo Degang does whatever he wants, writes wherever he wants, like a gust of wind, free.
Let's take a look at the audience's feedback.
People who like Jiang Kun's calligraphy feel that his words have connotation and depth; People who like Guo Degang's calligraphy love his free and uninhibited.
The phrase "no comparison, no harm" on the Internet can ignite the discussion of the big guys.
Some people say that Jiang Kun's calligraphy is called art, and Guo Degang's is blind comparison; Some people also say that Guo Degang's calligraphy has personality, and Jiang Kun's is too rigid.
What are the psychosocial and aesthetic trends behind this? I think, on the one hand, it shows that everyone pays more attention to art and is willing to express their opinions; On the other hand, it also shows that our current aesthetics are becoming more and more diversified, and it is no longer a standard to go all over the world.
Let's talk about this, in the traditional art of calligraphy, is there really a division between "orthodox" and "unorthodox"? I don't think so.
As long as it is written with heart and can express one's emotions, it has its value.
Also, what is the relationship between personal style and artistic value? Is it only the rules and regulations that are valuable? I don't think so.
Just like Guo Degang's calligraphy, although it does not meet the traditional standards, it can make people remember and make people feel a unique power, isn't this value?
Pen and ink rivers and lakes, each leading the way
In the final analysis, Jiang Kun and Guo Degang both have their own set of calligraphy art and have made contributions.
Jiang Kun let us see the charm of tradition, and Guo Degang let us know the possibility of innovation.
As an audience, don't take it too seriously and appreciate it with an open heart.
It's like visiting a garden, every flower has its beauty, we can't just say that peonies are not good-looking just because we like roses, do you say this is the reason?
Epilogue:
I hope that in the future, there will be more artists to show their skills in this calligraphy industry, so that our people can see more wonderful works!
