Calligraphy is a treasure of traditional Chinese art, but in recent years, some chaos has spread in the world of calligraphy. The so-called innovative methods such as random calligraphy, shooting calligraphy, nose calligraphy, and blind calligraphy are actually a desecration of traditional calligraphy, which not only lowers the threshold of calligraphy, but also has a negative impact on the development of calligraphy art. In this context, the dissolution of the Calligraphy Association became a top priority in order to restore the norms and dignity of the art of calligraphy. However, this decision has sparked widespread controversy. Some people believe that the art of calligraphy needs to keep pace with the times in order to attract more young people to participate in it, otherwise it will face the fate of gradually falling into loneliness. They advocated the preservation of the calligraphy association, but the reform within the organization to introduce more innovative elements and make the art of calligraphy more dynamic. On the other hand, they insisted on disbanding the calligraphy association, re-examining the essence of calligraphy and returning to tradition. The focus of the controversy is actually the positioning of the art of calligraphy.
As an art, the core of calligraphy is the inheritance and innovation of traditional culture. The norms and dignity of traditional calligraphy are the cornerstones of the art of calligraphy, but under the great wheel of the times, we should not stick to the old concepts, but should be more open and inclusive. The charm of calligraphy lies in its unique artistic language and expression. Through the blending of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, it shows the emotions and thoughts of the Chinese. The norms of traditional calligraphy are rigorous, and every stroke needs to be carefully considered and practiced. However, innovation is also a necessary way for art to develop. In contemporary society, challenging the bottom line of traditional calligraphy by means of random calligraphy, shooting calligraphy, nose writing, and blind writing is a kind of rethinking and attempting to tradition. This innovative approach may go against the norms of traditional calligraphy, but it also opens up new possibilities for the art of calligraphy. Whether the dissolution of the Calligraphy Association can restore the norms and dignity of the art of calligraphy actually requires more thinking and exploration.
We can learn from foreign calligraphy education models, introduce more professionals and resources, and improve the quality and level of calligraphy education. At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen the publicity and promotion of traditional calligraphy, so that more people can understand and love the art of calligraphy. Only in this way can the art of calligraphy truly flourish and develop. In short, calligraphy, as an important part of traditional Chinese art, needs to be protected and inherited. As for the existence of chaos, we should look at and solve it with an open mind. Maintain the norms and dignity of traditional calligraphy, and at the same time introduce innovative elements to make the art of calligraphy more vibrant. Only in this way can the art of calligraphy shine a new light in contemporary society. Zhu Zhiwen, this name may be unfamiliar in the eyes of many people. Recently, however, he has become popular in a surprising way. The appearance of a small person has sparked endless controversy and thinking.
Zhu Zhiwen is not a big-name star, nor does he have any special talent. He was just an ordinary person wearing a military coat to participate in a singing show. However, it was this ordinary act that put him in the limelight. His appearance has attracted widespread attention and discussion. We have to admit that Zhu Zhiwen's dress is indeed quite individual and unique. As a symbol, the military coat represents the heroism and honor of the servicemen. However, the fact that this image was used in singing shows has caused some people to be dissatisfied and questioned. This, in their opinion, is disrespectful and mockery of the image of the military. But there are also people who hold the opposite view, believing that Zhu Zhiwen's behavior is a kind of praise and tribute to the image of the soldier. However, compared with Zhu Zhiwen's dress, what is even more shocking is that the word "calligraphy" he wrote was sold for 50,000 yuan. This has left a lot of people confused and confused.
Zhu Zhiwen only has a primary school education, and he doesn't know what calligraphy is, let alone how to write a good character. However, his words are considered to have incomparable artistic value. This phenomenon is deplorable. Because more people may learn calligraphy from him, and traditional, highly trained calligraphy may go unnoticed. Traditional calligraphy, with its profound cultural heritage and exquisite skills, has always been a treasure in the art world. Now, however, it seems that as long as a celebrity is familiar to the public, regardless of their background, as long as they can write a word, they can sell for a sky-high price. This provoked people to think about art. Art is a way to express emotions and ideas. Now, however, does art exist only to cater to market demand? Does it take just one hype spot to become a hot topic? These questions are food for thought. In this regard, I would like to quote the point of view of an artist.
He said: "Art is not just a word, it is a spiritual sustenance and expression. It requires a lot of effort and time from the artist to create something truly valuable. And not with momentary hype and gimmicks. The artist's point of view may give us some inspiration. In fact, art takes time and patience. The reason why traditional calligraphy has been passed down to this day is precisely because it has undergone thousands of years of historical precipitation and accumulation. It represents the cultural heritage and wisdom of a nation. In contrast, those momentary hype and gimmicks are destined to be short-lived. Perhaps, we should re-examine the essence of art. Art should not just cater to market demand and hype, it should be a way of expression that really has connotation and depth. We should refocus on traditional art forms and respect artists who have undergone rigorous training and put in a lot of effort.
Finally, let's think about it together: what is true art? How can we preserve and pass on traditional art forms? This requires each of us to work together and think. Let's contribute to the development and inheritance of art!
