Wu HuanThink of ChinaCalligraphyThe highest award in the field, the Rantei Award, has major flaws, which are mainly reflected in two aspects. First of all, the award focuses too much on artisan techniques and ignores tradition and moreCultureThe importance of the matter. Wu HuanIt is pointed out that the "Rantei Spirit" isWang Xizhiand the current "Pavilion Award" selection is contrary to it. Secondly,Wu HuanIt is believed that the selection of this award is not professional, and the level of winners cannot be compared with some excellentCalligraphyCompared to home, it is even inferior to the ordinary "Erda", which can still be written in a regular mannerCalligraphy
This assessment does give room for thought. ContemporaryCalligraphyThere is a world of themCalligraphyThe family pays too much attention to the technique, and ignores the ** and thinking of knowledge. This phenomenon is also worrying, because:CalligraphyAs a kind ofArtThe form should not only stay at the technical level, but also with traditionCultureDeep integration. Only in this way can we truly inherit and developCalligraphyArt
At the same time,Wu HuanSome are also mentionedCalligraphyThe problem of lack of literary accomplishment at home. He noted that a lotCalligraphyJia has not even written an article, so he prides himself on itCalligraphyhome, and created some "weird books". Wu Huanthink, to be realCalligraphyHome, not only need to have solidCalligraphyskills, but also need to be supported by literary works. He liftedZhao PuchuQi GongAnd so on everyone's example, theseCalligraphyHome inCalligraphyIn addition, they were also knowledgeable scholars, and their writings were expandedCalligraphyBoundaries of the domain.
In addition to the questions of the Rantei Award selection,Wu HuanAlso mentionedCalligraphyOne of the most prevalent in the worldEthosIssue. He said there were a lot of them at the momentCalligraphyThe family only pays attention to the comparison of techniques, and ignores the thinking of knowledge. It's reminiscent of those who only focus on the beauty of the font but lack connotationCalligraphyOpus. On this issue, he pointed out the existence of the phenomenon of "ugly books", that is, those who write "ugly books".CalligraphyThe families are fighting with each other, because there is no common standard, and no one is subordinate to the other.
I couldn't agree more. CalligraphyAlthough you can have your own innovation and appearance, you can't deviate too far from the rules. Tang KaiAs a traditionCalligraphyform, with clear standards and requirements. And the "ugly book" has no norms and standardsCalligraphyworks, indeed, tend to lead to confusion and vulgarization.
At the same time,Wu HuanAlso to those who are too arrogantCalligraphyHome made criticisms. He specifically mentioned a guy named "xxx".CalligraphyHome, claiming to be able to surpassWang Xizhi, the talent is even better than the latter. Wu HuanHe expressed strong dissatisfaction with this disrespectful and arrogant behavior of his predecessors. In his opinion, suchEthosIt is extremely bad and must be criticized.
Wu HuanIn the article, "Erda" was mentioned many times, and it was believed that the winner of the "Lanting Award" was not even as good as "Erda". He praised "Erda" inCalligraphyThe rules are in line with tradition. Although he acknowledges that "Nida" also has some flaws, he believes that they are at least continuing the tradition and have not deviated too far.
For this point of view, I thinkWu HuanThe view is not comprehensive. Although there may be some problems with the "Rantei Award", it was originally established to recognize excellenceCalligraphyhome, and pushCalligraphyprogress and development. And for "Erda", although they may be more traditional and standardized, it cannot be denied that they have shortcomings in innovation and uniqueness. InCalligraphyIn the field, we must not only respect the tradition, but also have new breakthroughs and developments, this is the caseCalligraphyThe driving force for continuous prosperity.
PassedWu Huanpoint of view, we can see the current ChinaCalligraphySome of the problems faced by the field. The first is the flaw in the selection of awards, which requires further improvement of the selection criteria and process, focusing on tradition and traditionCulturevalue. And then there'sCalligraphyis ubiquitousEthosThe problem requires stricter self-discipline and normative constraints to avoid deviating from traditional and purely technical problems. Finally, we should be eclectic, seeking a balance between inheritance and innovationCalligraphyArtReally shine.
For me personally, as an editor, through theWu HuanAfter summarizing and thinking about the viewpoint, I became more aware of the responsibility and mission of writing. We should not only pursue the beauty of form, but also the profoundnessCultureAccumulation and academic background can bring more thinking and inspiration to readers. At the same time, we should also pay attentionCalligraphyThe development and reform of the world will provide more positive opinions and suggestions for them to jointly promote the Chinese traditionCultureinheritance and development.
