Zhu Zhiwen and Wang Han wrote calligraphy, but they were collectively criticized. What is the reason?

Zhu Zhiwen, a star from CCTV's Avenue of Stars, Ce Shen, the favorite of the audience, and Wang Han, the host of Hunan TV Station, are experienced calligraphy lovers, and their calligraphy "creations" can often be seen on the Internet. At first, people praised their studious and enterprising attitude, but soon, I found that they almost met with collective complaints and even resistance from netizens. Why?

Zhu Zhiwen's Calligraphy

Many stars have a hobby of practicing calligraphy. For example, Chen, an actor of the older generation, mostly writes good calligraphy. However, it is really not easy for a poor family like Zhu Zhiwen to have such hobbies and be willing to settle down and practice hard.

Zhu Zhiwen's interest in calligraphy is very insightful. Among various styles, I prefer the "thin gold style" created by Song. This kind of font has a very special position in the calligraphy field, with smart strokes and fine fonts, but it is very rhythmic and has a very special aesthetic feeling, so it is naturally difficult to write.

However, Zhu Zhiwen did not give up because of this. On the contrary, he spent more time practicing calligraphy. Coupled with the "celebrity effect", he became famous over time. However, with his fame, calligraphy experts questioned him, saying that what he did simply disturbed the whole calligraphy market.

Wang Han's calligraphy

For another example, Wang Han's cursive script can only be called "scribbled book", but it is actually advocated as "chasing Lin Sanzhi". Of course, it may be just a joke, but what is not misleading for ordinary people who don't know the truth?

Of course, I also believe that Zhu Zhiwen, the "big coat" and Wang Han, the "strategic god", have no intention of hype. Their original intention may not need to dress themselves as "famous calligraphers". This is self-knowledge, and I think they should still have it!

However, now is the internet age, and many boring people, even people with ulterior motives, will use these things to attract attention, entertain themselves with calligraphy, joke with tradition, entertain the public with stupidity, and even make profits. It is precisely because of this that the China Calligraphy Association recently made it clear that it "opposes dispelling lofty and playful traditions in the name of calligraphy, and opposes packaging hype, grandstanding and making gimmicks."

Causes of collective vomiting

Calligraphy is a strict traditional culture. No one can become a calligrapher by doodling and boasting. Without decades of skill and strong understanding, it is impossible to become a calligrapher. Zhu Zhiwen and Wang Han like to write calligraphy. It is suggested that they "practice seclusion" alone. Don't post it online to "fool" the public!

On the other hand, Zhu Zhiwen's calligraphy level has really improved greatly over the years. Obviously, he studies hard, even if he doesn't become a "master" in the end, so what? It's just that this studious attitude deserves people's affirmation. Brother Tai's calligraphy works are not publicly publicized and sold, but exchanged with friends. Even if it is sold out, it belongs to a collection with special significance. As for the experts' talk about disrupting the calligraphy market, it's a bit exaggerated.
