Reading history idly is also a state of nourishment. Recently, I like a sentence in "Lin Sanzhi" of Guomei Chen Zhenlian's "History of Modern Chinese Calligraphy" and "The Reading Achievements of the Older Generation": "Lin Sanzhi is a non-skilled calligrapher, he is all spiritual writing." ”
Why do I like that? Because many contemporary ignorant people always like to quote Lin Sanzhi to argue that the achievements of calligraphers are the accumulation of "skills". Because Elder Lin has been learning books all his life, the old party has achieved success, so they have also launched the accumulation of calligraphers who have learned calligraphy skills, so they have also launched a lot of people who have learned calligraphy for a lifetime because the foundation has not reached the end of the old age and no success. It seems to have been harmed by the lack of skill. As everyone knows, this is also a fallacy that deceives the world and fools the ignorant.
Lin Sanzhi is a non-skilled calligrapher, and he writes all spiritual books. When Lin Sanzhi formed his own unique style of writing, in fact, he found his own unique writing and expression technique, and as a post-scholar, he could interpret it as a technique. It is not that it is necessary to go through the road of learning books taken by Lin Sanzhi and naturally transition to Lin Sanzhi's book style, which is not an inevitable process. The process of learning calligraphy and forming your own unique style of calligraphy is the process of constantly finding calligraphy techniques suitable for your own expression and can conform to the aesthetics of the Chinese people, rather than the so-called accumulation process of skill. Many scholars should be worried about it!
