Calligraphy/书法

October 3, 2023

If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first has good his tools! Writing calligraphy is not easy at all! "Pen, ink, paper and inkstone" are all very important tools! A while ago, in order to save time and effort, I used ink to write calligraphy! The words written with "ink" are dark enough, but without the life of the words, the words written with ink feel very dead! (Grinding ink is so hard! Why don’t I have a book boy to use it?) I remember participating in calligraphy competitions in ancient times, and the result was that you couldn’t use ink, you could only grind the ink slowly! Later, all my words were blurred and turned into a ball! Of course there is no way to get a name! Recently I started learning not to use ink at all, and I realized how difficult it is to grind ink! I remember, in ancient times, there was an art teacher who wanted to teach me Chinese painting, that kind of landscape painting, for free! I give up! Because I just wanted to go to apply higher education before, where would I have time to learn painting again? I must say: the wisdom of the ancients is indeed quite valuable! Calligraphy and landscape painting are not only a hobby, but also a way to cultivate thinking! Landscape painting can never be drafted, nor can calligraphy be drafted! No rehearse! Therefore, we must be "cautious" every time we make a transaction! Many people say: computers have no errors, and the writing looks beautiful! If "art" is a kind of "reproduction or copy", then art has no value at all! No calligraphy is exactly the same, and no landscape painting is the same! Even Tang Bohu, Wang Xizhi... everyone can't write exactly the same words, this is the real "creation"! The value of a person does not lie in "copying", the value of a person is: each of us is "different", each of us has our own place, each of us has our own value! No need to copy others! Don’t even envy others! Because each of us has our own life! Just like every calligraphy and every landscape painting has its own beauty!


工欲善其事、必先利其器!寫書法一點也不容易!「筆墨紙硯」都是非常重要的工具!前陣子為了省時省力,就用墨汁寫書法!「墨汁」寫出來的字夠黑,但失去字的生命,感覺墨汁寫的字很死!(磨墨好辛苦啊!為啥我沒有書僮使用?)記得古時候參加書法比賽,結果規定不能用墨汁,只能慢慢磨墨!後來、我的字全部暈開,字變成一團!當然沒有辦法得名!最近開始學習完全不用墨汁,才知道原來磨墨相當不易!記得、古時候有位美術老師要免費教我畫國畫,就是那種山水畫!我放棄!因為以前只想升學,哪裡有時間再學畫畫?我必須說:古人的智慧確實蠻有價值!書法和山水畫不但是一種興趣,也是一種培養思考的方法!山水畫從來不能打草稿,書法也沒有打草稿!所以、我們每下一筆就必須「謹慎」!有許多人說:電腦不會有錯誤,而且寫出來又好看!如果、「藝術」是一種「複製」,那藝術根本沒有價值!沒有一模一樣的書法,也沒有一模一樣的山水畫!即使是唐伯虎、王羲之….每個人都不會寫出一模一樣的字,這才是真正的「創作」!人的價值不在於「複製」,人的價值就是:我們每個人都是「不一樣」,我們每個人都有自己的位子,我們每個人都有自己的價值!不用去複製別人!更不用羨慕別人!因為我們每個人都有自己的人生!就像每一幅書法字和每一幅山水畫都它們自己的美!
