Chinese characters, one of the oldest characters in the world, have been silently telling the historical process of the Chinese nation. Chinese characters have beautiful shapes, and calligraphy developed from Chinese characters is a treasure of our country. There are countless famous artists since ancient times, and it is hard to find a word. But now a star like Zhu Zhiwen can sell ordinary calligraphy works at sky-high prices, and the reason is worth pondering.

First, Zhu Zhiwen's calligraphy can sell at a high price, which is totally a celebrity effect. Zhu Zhiwen is a farmer. As we all know, farmers seldom finished their studies in their time. Generally, in the third and fourth grades, they drop out of school after knowing a few words. Zhu Zhiwen also went to primary school, so his cultural level is not high. There is a certain threshold for learning calligraphy. As far as Zhu Zhiwen's cultural level is concerned, his calligraphy is not much better.

Many netizens think that Zhu Zhiwen's calligraphy can fetch a high price of 200,000 yuan. Because Zhu Zhiwen is famous, people will buy his calligraphy. If Zhu Zhiwen's celebrity effect is removed, his calligraphy will be worthless.

Second, the hype of ignorance. Some calligraphy experts say that Zhu Zhiwen's calligraphy is worth 200,000 yuan? It's impossible. It's just ignorance hype. This time, the author thinks that what calligraphy experts say is very reasonable. I found some handwriting of Zhu Zhiwen on the Internet and looked at it. To be honest, they write badly. In my opinion, it's just writing with a brush, which can't be called calligraphy at all.

Why do you say that Zhu Zhiwen only writes with a brush? Because his handwriting is the basic element of calligraphy, that is, writing casually. Through Zhu Zhiwen's calligraphy, I also want to explain here that writing with a brush is not calligraphy. Calligraphy has many elements, including brushwork, composition, structure and so on. Without these elements, calligraphy can't be achieved. Zhu Zhiwen's writing is an example.

Conclusion With the hype of businessmen and the vanity of idolized characters, those who love beans first suffer. As I said before, Lao Zhu himself is a rustic farmer. He may not see the real purpose behind these hype, or he didn't handle it well at all, so he was used and was also a victim.
