The strange image of the ugly
calligraphy
Calligraphers appeal to the
calligraphers: the calligraphic world should be reform from the bottom
However,
in recent years, with the expansion of some people and the drive of interest, a
“ugly calligraphy” has tarnished the holy land of the calligraphy circles. This
group of disorderly crowd boasts of the master of calligraphy, but it is wantonly trampling the tradition, the ugly
calligraphy is daubed at random, and the wrong word is
everywhere, full contempt for the strict law of the calligraphy art, and the
ugly calligraphy is unruly, random collocation, handwriting twisting and
trembling, the more exaggerated the better, the more weirdo the more proud, the
more loud and more excited, the use of “eighteen kinds of inferior skill” to
pack himself, to seize the eyes of people, to win favor for the purpose, of
holding high the cover of calligraphy masters, swindling, and leading to all
kinds of freaks in the commercial society, they have seriously polluted the
Chinese calligraphy art altar in China.
Xu Zhiyong's work
Mr. Xu Zhiyong,
a famous contemporary calligrapher, dislikes this kind of phenomenon. He thinks
that the art of Chinese calligraphy is broad and profound. The art of
calligraphy is like silent music and unspoken poetry, which shows the inherent
vitality of Chinese pen and ink, line, structure, law, thought, emotion and
implication. However, in today's calligraphy world, there are many “ugly
calligraphy” phenomenon, “take ugliness as beauty”, self created “river and
lake script”, “high posture” to seize the eyes, blinded the audience. Xu
Zhiyong said this is a great pain for people who are engaged in calligraphy.
“Chinese
calligraphy art has developed to today, there are so many ‘ugly calligraphy’
phenomenon, which is the disadvantage of the contemporary calligraphy world,
tarnished the calligraphy circles, also seriously affected the young people to
set up the correct aesthetic and values, which is very bad for them to pursue
the growth environment of the calligraphy path, and the misleading may cause
them to go astray. I am very sad, I am particularly opposed to writing ugly
calligraphy, and also call on parents and friends to find a good teacher for
their children, through orthodoxy teaching, to stop the ‘ugly calligraphy’, so
that excellent art and excellent culture from generation to generation,
calligraphy circles should be reform to the bottom.” Xu Zhiyong said.

The
cultivation of the calligraphy field
The main study on regular
script, mastered the running script and cursive, with a great momentum and
majestic and grand
In the 70s of last century, Xu Zhiyong's father
attached great importance to culture. Under his careful instruction, Xu Zhiyong
had a strong interest in calligraphy as a child. And every day, he insisted on
practicing, never interrupted, calligraphy art is progressing every day, in
2010, he founded Qin Mo Xuan, engaged in calligraphy promotion and education,
for a long time cultivation in calligraphy.
In the artistic creation, mainly practise regular
script, mastered running script and cursive , especially advocated the two
masters of Wang Xizhi, Ouyang Xun’s calligraphy, draw on the strengths of two
masters, melt into himself. His regular script works with a smooth and graceful
brushwork, the structure is sparse and well proportioned, it reads like a
gentle breeze, elegant and clear rhyme, and melts great momentum, fresh air and
positive gas in one, pleasing to the eyes. The cursive of his works is rich and
varied. The momentum of his writing is magnificent and unique, his artistic
conception is broad and clear. His calligraphy works aim at promoting
benevolence and morality and praising good virtue as the artistic gist, It is
also the tenet of his indefatigable teaching.

and vigorous, powerful and beautiful, with a lot of ups and downs. He focused
on the emphasis, the momentum of the layout, the independence and the coherence
handle with ease, accomplish a composition in one breath. In the process of the
length, size, slant, and hollow strokes, it was integrated into the magnificent
and harmonious rhythm, or the light or empty, or heavy ink, and the works of Xu

Crazy about
calligraphy
Pay
attention to the foundation, morality and Cultivation: the perfection of art
and calligraphy
Xu
Zhiyong, who spent many years in the calligraphy and art sea with sweat and a
sincere heart, paid great attention to the promotion of the foundation and the
artist's moral character and culture. He believed that it is very important to
lay a solid foundation for learning calligraphy. To learn regular script well,
or official script or seal script, learning calligraphy will make rapid
progress. And copy is an important part of learning calligraphy, which runs through the whole life of calligrapher. Therefore, the so-called “ugly calligraphy” masters have not copied today. It
is very undesirable for his works to be exposed at a glance.
Xu Zhiyong's work
Only by laying a solid foundation can we make a leap
like cursive script. Mr. Xu Zhiyong said he was particularly fond of writing
cursive with great momentum and unruly feeling. The calligraphy work as the
author himself, the cursive had a strong visual impact and infectivity, showing
his mind, feelings, world outlook and outlook on life,
closely related to the sensual senses of the admirers.
Man is high in virtue without desire, Mr. Xu Zhiyong also pays great attention to the moral
character of calligraphers, and “the calligraphy is valuable because of people”.
He thinks that calligraphy is not only related to human culture, but also
closely connected with human morality. Only when the calligraphers are of high
moral character, will the calligraphy be pure and upright, and his personality,
character, mind and spirit can enter the perfection of calligraphy and art. And
the so-called master of “ugly calligraphy” will eventually withdraw from the
stage of history.
