On the cleverness and clumsiness of calligraphy
? Coincidence With what? Stupid? What is involved here is the issue of aesthetic category. Different times, different people and different stages of a person have different standards for beauty, and sometimes this difference is still great. The same is true of the aesthetics of calligraphy. ? Coincidence Is it relative? Stupid? Generally speaking, we should look at the problem of cleverness from two angles: one is from the technical level. Liu Xizai in "Art? In the outline of the book, it says:? Learners start by looking for a job without a job, and then find a job without a job. People who don't work are extremely diligent. ? Zhuangzi landscape:? Carve, return to the original. Fu Shan? In other words, there is a process of learning calligraphy. First, learners are required to have familiar skills. Wonderful workmanship is the basis of calligraphy creation, right? Work? . However, it should be noted that techniques should not be regarded as an end, because techniques are not just art itself. Buddhist language? Go ashore and abandon ship? I'm afraid it's impossible to reach the other shore without a boat, and those who aim at skills don't want to go ashore. Does this look like Mr. Wang Yong's printing? No, stone? Carved on the border:? Skillful, art is also taboo. So is printing. At the beginning, I like being smart and tired of being clumsy. I can also do things cleanly and fresh, or I can be smart and create for no reason. Coincidence In other words, if you don't open your mind, you will inevitably fall into a small family. ? A word? Coincidence Is to show off your skills.
Second, from the perspective of artistic creation. ? Coincidence It is a state of mind, reflecting that the author of the book has no thoughts, doesn't know what he wants, doesn't know what he wants to do, and it is not enough to rely on certain skills or techniques. Follow the trend? Catch up with fashion? . Whether it is shocking or smearing, his works seem clumsy, but in fact it is a coincidence, not his true temperament from the bottom of my heart, but his temperament. What will it be soon? Trend? Latent, second, they have certain ideas and corresponding skills, but they haven't cultivated enough to let go. Are they still carrying a boat when they go ashore? Can't you just open up? ,? For no reason? Form and the effect of decorative design. This is the mentality of those who are eager for quick success, right? Small family spirit? .
? Stupid? This is different. It even points to a calligrapher's realm, a high aesthetic realm, an expression of people's true feelings, and a manifestation of intrinsic beauty.
? Stupid? As an aesthetic category, it was put forward long ago. Huang Tingjian said in On Books:? Every book is more clumsy than clever. ? And Dou Meng was right in the Tang Dynasty? Stupid? Explain:? Clumsy: Not clever and clumsy. ? Mentioned in Shu Shu Fu? Stupid? People who usually study thought of it? Naive? Or? Gu Zhuo? . ? Naive? Is the child's essential performance out of nature? Gu Zhuo? It is often unintentional for practical purposes and is formed due to the relationship between materials and time. For example, a large number of inscriptions left over from history are real natural expressions. Although they may have some technical defects. But what * * * has in common is that they all have natural interests, few traces of people, and they are true and simple, which is the most precious thing that artists pursue about the nature of human life. Zhao Ceng said: The highest realm of calligraphers is to accept both ancient and modern. It must be beautiful for a three-year-old child to see the essence of nature and accumulate the knowledge of great scholars, so books are the most diligent for those who don't learn books and can't read them. ? Liu Xizai said? Celebrities are precious and everyone is precious. ? Everyone? With what? Really? What is the pursuit for you? Real rate? What's the name of the old man Baishi? Tianzhu? Who?
In calligraphy creation, stupid? Is it? Go ashore and abandon ship? ,? If you don't work, you will work extremely hard. 、? Back to the park? This state, the white stone old man often said? No painter's habit. ? Because you wrote calligraphy, not calligraphy, and you didn't create any works according to certain standards or teachings. It should be from the heart, not influenced by techniques and forms, but the true feelings cultivated from the inside out, that is, not wanting anything. Desire? This is an obstacle, which prevents you from being true, feeling unreal and irrelevant. Will you work? Coincidence , not touching.
As Fu Shan said: Hide in everyone who has a heart. If you have the heart, you will be clumsy and clever, and if you are clever, you will have more camps. If there are more camps, there will be gains, but they will also be lost. ? Does this also mean? Coincidence And then what? Stupid? Is it dialectical? If you are clumsy? , but? Stupid? You don't have to hide. Hide? Stupid? Is it real? Coincidence .
? Stupid? It is not an inherent aesthetic, but a product of the times with the development of calligraphy art, but its spirit is people's reflection and return to the essence of life. so this is it？ Stupid? The true meaning of.
