Wu Xizai in Qing Dynasty took a good look at the map of official script. Wu Xizai was born in 1799 and died in 1870. His original name is Yang Ting, and his word is Xi Zai. Fifty years later, he numbered it with the word line, which also kept him busy. He tried to call himself Qin Weng, a late scholar and Fang Linzhang. Yizheng, Jiangsu, was a seal engraver, calligrapher and painter in Qing Dynasty. The word "Let it go" is also used as a way to incite others to be called "Jean Weng", "Born Later" and "Zhu Fang". Get younger? Deng pai? Great calligrapher and disciple of seal engraving Jiabao. Wu Xizhai is Deng who studies seal script and official script, and Bao who studies running script and regular script. The greatest achievement of calligraphy is seal script. His seal script draws lessons from Deng's dignified and vigorous style, and understands it by himself, making it more elegant and stretching, combining rigidity with softness, and rigorous statutes. Although Wu Xizai's calligraphy skills are deep, he is too bound by his teachers to create his own style. He is the author of Modern Interpretation of Tongjian Geography. The greatest achievement in my life is seal cutting. With the essence of Deng, I can catch up with the seal of China. In his later years, the knife was transported to a better state. At that time, when the last habits of Zhejiang School flooded the printing altar, Deng School of Huizhou School was pushed to a new realm, which had a great influence on the printing altar in the late Qing Dynasty. Wu Xizai carved tens of thousands of editions in his life, but many of them didn't have any money, resulting in a small circulation.
Practicality of Calligraphy The most basic activity of learning calligraphy is writing, and the primary purpose of writing is to remember things and exchange feelings. The minimum requirement is to write the words in a standard, neat and clear way, which is acceptable to people. If the handwriting is messy or even random, readers will lose practical value if they can't recognize the "heavenly book".
Some people think that writing with a brush is not as convenient as writing with a hard pen, and it can completely replace the brush. Only by writing with a brush can we learn calligraphy. Some people think that calligraphy is the patent of "genius" and "we are not cut out to learn calligraphy". Some older friends, in particular, are bound by stale ideas and think it is too late to learn calligraphy. Some people think that calligraphy is mysterious, incredible, impossible for God to find, difficult to express in form, and difficult to achieve good deeds. These ideas are not desirable, because as long as you write, there are rules to speak of, especially in many occasions where there is no "facade" of calligraphy, absolutely not. For example, trademarks, advertisements, slogans, couplets, calligraphy and painting banners are all inseparable from calligraphy. There is no denying that it is convenient and quick to write with pens, ballpoint pens and other tools, but the rules for writing with any tool are basically the same as those for writing with a brush, so you should learn calligraphy no matter how you write.
As for the age of learning calligraphy, there is no doubt that learning calligraphy from childhood or adolescence has great advantages, but older people also have many advantages in learning calligraphy. Young people have knowledge, life, experience, quick understanding, deep feelings and good expression, which is incomparable.
