(Reading guide: Jiangxi's "master" named Wang Lin was pulled by the media and insisted on stripping off his painting.) The author thinks that not only "qigong masters", but also all kinds of "masters" in the calligraphy and art circles should also accept social doubts and restore their own truths. ）
China has no shortage of "masters" since ancient times. However, the word "master" has always been notorious, and some people want to be "masters" for no more than two purposes: one is to seize power in troubled times, and the other is to accumulate wealth in prosperous times. That's it, how can he!
At the time of Xiao Liang's defeat, there was a "master" monk Qiang rebelling in Jiangbei, this person "knew a lot of illusions, and even more confused, and the crowd reached 30,000 and captured Northern Xuzhou", and Emperor Wu of Liang had to send the general Chen Qing to exterminate him. When the Liao Dynasty was about to die, in the area of present-day Beijing ("Nanjing" in Liao), there was a "master" Li Hong who rebelled. There are still quite a few "masters" who call themselves "Li Hong" and gather people to cause chaos, and they call themselves "Li Hong," and their "aspirations" are all rebellions. Even the well-known Yellow Turban Uprising, the White Lotus Uprising, the Hong Xiuquan Uprising, etc., which of those rebel leaders is not a "master" of Shinto? In "Water Margin", Wu Yong, in order to settle the status and treatment of the rebel heroes, determined who enjoyed the treatment of high-level cadres in Liangshanbo and who would get the middle-level salary, and made the trick of "Tiangang 36, Earth Evil 72", which can be called a "super master".
In the world of Chengping, some people competed to be "masters", and most of them went to get rich. Whether it is rebellion or getting rich, they are all seeking their own selfishness. You don't see the Wang Lin in Jiangxi, after becoming a "master", he became a billionaire, covering an area of more than 10 acres of luxury "Wangfu" and the county party committee compound side by side, only separated by the small courtyard of the tax bureau, the county spends money in addition to the tax bureau, from time to time to borrow from the "Wangfu". The "master" can get something for nothing, and the "master" can be rich and rival the country, forming a "power of example" in society.
It is precisely inspired by this kind of "master" that the typical vanity fair in the calligraphy and painting world is tossed and happy, and for a while, the "masters of calligraphy and painting" are flying all over the sky, and those who are not "masters of calligraphy and painting" are not easy to mix in the industry.
Like "masters" such as "qigong masters", the title of "calligraphy and painting masters" also does not need to be inspected and appointed by officials, and there is no need for expert examinations and evaluations, all based on "self-creation", so people see that as long as anyone is shameless, who is black-hearted enough, and who is rich and heartfelt, he can tout himself as a "calligraphy and painting master" and make ill-gotten wealth that deceives people.
On some occasions where you can sell words and paintings, the "masters of calligraphy and painting" have taken the limelight. In front of them were a group photo of them visiting foreign countries with state leaders. Such a "group photo" can fool people the most. "He went abroad on a visit with the country's leaders, how many calligraphers and painters can there be in the world?" As soon as the buyer muttered in his heart, he felt that the "master" came to the city, and the opportunity to come to the city was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he would not suffer a loss no matter how much he spent on his calligraphy and paintings. As a result, the "master" was making a lot of money. In fact, it is not difficult for people who know a little bit of computer knowledge to see that the "master" and the state leader "visit together" are pure nonsense, and the face of the "master" is transplanted to other people's necks with the help of drawing software. Nowadays, the computer is more powerful than the "god", and the "master" is quite easy to make, as long as the courage is big enough to dare to put out the fake "group photo", he will immediately become a "master of calligraphy and painting."
There is also a "group photo" posed by a "master of calligraphy and painting" that looks like this: The "master" is holding his dog to crawl characters (paintings) and taking pictures with extremely high-ranking officials. The official's smiling appearance is in the form of "rewarding the backward advance," and the "master" is bowing his head and leaning down in the form of "thanksgiving and virtue," which looks very funny. This kind of "group photo" is more deceptive than Wang Lin's "master" "group photo" with wealthy businessmen and actors. You must know that high-ranking officials are honest and respectful, and nowadays they generally do not accept other people's words (paintings), but the "master" is good at writing (painting), and high-ranking officials who are honest and want face cannot resist the temptation of my words (paintings), and high-ranking officials just like my characters (paintings), and high-ranking officials just accept the words (paintings) I gave them?——.
There are also "calligraphy masters" and "art masters" who are "soap bubbles" blown out by the media. These people either have money or status, or they have money and status, and anyway, some people are willing to write articles to praise them as "masters," and anyway, some media are willing to publish such words. It is written in black and white that someone is a "master of calligraphy and painting", and this "master" is also very "golden". In addition, since newspapers and periodicals are all run by the government and have authority, the "masters" of newspaper and periodical propaganda are also "officially recognized." With such a name in newspapers and periodicals, these "masters" can become a thousandfold status, and they can set up "elite classes in calligraphy and painting" and "super classes in calligraphy and painting" that are reimbursed by the public for high tuition fees, so that teachers and students can realize their personal dreams of getting rich together and complete the "scientific development" in the field of calligraphy and painting together.
Of course, in order to make a fortune, the "masters" in the calligraphy and painting world have a variety of means and clever tricks, far more than that. In China today, the term "master" is about to become synonymous with "liar." In view of this, the author calls for the state to completely abolish the title of "master" who cheats people out of money and even brings disaster to the country and the people, and does not allow anyone to call himself a "master" or to call others a "master" indiscriminately. In addition to being respected as a true "master" recognized by the state, anyone who falsely uses the name of "master" to deceive should consider bringing them to justice. In fact, there are no "master" figures in the world of calligraphy and painting, so the media of calligraphy and painting should not publicize this "master" or "master", and use the power of the media to fuel the fire in the industry that is already enough for the "bubble".
If you want the world of calligraphy and painting to be pure, you should start by governing all kinds of "masters". Only when the calligraphy judges and art officials no longer hype up their official positions, and the "calligraphy masters" and "art masters" become rats crossing the street, will it be possible for the calligraphy and painting circles to sweep away the haze in the sky and show the beautiful sun and blue sky as it should be.
