Time 2019-11-12
 
The reform and opening-up has opened a journey of rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and Chinese culture has been revitalized. Calligraphy, as a symbol element of Chinese culture, also reappears its vitality. Looking around China, there have never been so many calligraphy works exhibited in urban and rural areas, never so many calligraphy activities are in full swing; never so many calligraphy societies are engaged in all kinds of calligraphy activities; never so many schools have opened calligraphy major. With the flourishing of calligraphy forest, we have more confidence in the rejuvenation of Chinese calligraphy.
 
 
 
Reform and opening up, for the Chinese at the time, is a change of heart. The revitalization of culture is also full of pain and challenges. For calligraphy, there are real faults. Fortunately, there are still such old gentlemen as Lin Sanzhi, Xiao Xian, qigong and Sha Menghai. However, compared with the public, calligraphy is facing a major issue of re edification and re propagation. I remember that at the first national calligraphy and seal cutting exhibition, most of the works were still imitating calligraphy. Those who can copy were even "calligraphers" at that time. However, these fans, supported by the old gentlemen, started the road of calligraphy revival.
 
 
 
Calligraphy from the late 1970s to now, more than 30 years, how many people of insight to dedicate their body and mind, how many pillars of material for this dedicated. Among them, the Chinese Calligrapher Association, a cultural system with Chinese characteristics, has contributed a lot to the development of calligraphy for more than 30 years. Especially in the ten years since the Lanting prize was established, its great achievements are obvious to all. A large number of successful figures in the contemporary calligraphy circle come out of the environment of the Chinese Calligrapher Association; the blooming of contemporary Chinese calligraphy art is also an important role for the Chinese Calligrapher Association to play in promoting. The Chinese Calligrapher Association hosts numerous calligraphy exhibitions and competitions, and gives full academic, organizational and economic support to all kinds of calligraphy activities. For more than 30 years, for the history of Chinese calligraphy, it is the first step of "starting from scratch" for the revival of Chinese calligraphy. These 30 years is a very important stage for Chinese calligraphy from forgetting, to remembering, to beginning, to development, to revitalization.
 
 
 
With the efforts of Chinese Calligrapher Association, Chinese calligraphy has its own special calligraphy publishing organization, popular literature and art press. The dream of generations, and the work for it, has finally come to fruition. The emergence of Professional Calligraphy Publishing House provides a position for calligraphers to systemically sort out and study predecessors' classics. Because of the emergence of Professional Calligraphy publishing house, it provides professional guarantee for the study of contemporary calligraphy, collation and publication of contemporary calligraphy books.
 
 
 
Newspaper reading materials related to calligraphy art are displayed in the public's vision with a variety of styles, and various activities sponsored by them are attracting more and more people's attention. With the diversity of art exhibition, art taste, and multiple perspectives of re reading art, calligraphy is in full bloom.
 
 
 
The era of the Internet is an era of opportunity, an era that no one can ignore, and an era that everyone must accept. Standing on this commanding height, we will create a new round of great opportunities for the development of calligraphy later, and make good preparation in spirit and material. The constant birth of all kinds of calligraphy websites in China reflects the prosperity of calligraphy and the great expectation of the Internet era. A network system dominated by Chinese calligraphy distance education is being established. The interaction of academic research and creation will surely bring new gospel to calligraphers.
 
 
 
During the Renaissance of Chinese calligraphy, countless people worked hard for the Renaissance of calligraphy. In the mass calligraphy Renaissance, countless calligraphy talents have been cultivated. These backbone forces form the pyramid of talents from the grassroots level to the whole country. By these people radiation, in their own surroundings, and cultivate a large number of calligraphy art lovers, admirers. The formation of talents is the most basic requirement for any great rejuvenation. Without countless talents, the rejuvenation of Chinese calligraphy cannot be constituted. Calligraphers' associations at all levels led by the Federation of literary and art circles have played an organizational and exemplary role. Especially in recent years, under the guidance of the outline of the development of Chinese calligraphy, calligraphy organizations at all levels have written classics and positive atmosphere, so that the revival of calligraphy, like the revival of the country, will usher in a good period.
 
Of course, due to the fault of calligraphy, the change of cultural focus and environment, we are quite far away from the best classic in the history of calligraphy. We should also see the following points: first, the Renaissance of Chinese calligraphy is a quite long period, and for us, the Renaissance of Chinese calligraphy today is the first step in the long march; second, in any era, the analysis at that time is more demanding, so our classics need to be positioned by future generations; third, for the Chinese calligraphy in the Renaissance, in addition to We need a large number of calligraphers, scholars and thinkers. Compared with other arts, the requirement of Chinese calligraphy for learning is quite high. This is the homework that the relevant departments should organize to do, and it is also the homework that individuals need to do. However, at least a group of people are equal to or close to them, and quite a number of people can understand them. Fourthly, in a certain period, calligraphy organized or organized by calligraphy has great impetus and influence, and its role is irreplaceable, which is quite important. Practice shows that it is difficult to do some work by individual efforts.
 
 
 
Art comes from the people. People create art. Calligraphy, as a symbol of Chinese civilization, as a symbol of the world's advanced culture, as a carrier to express the soul, has gone up and down with the changes of the times in Chinese history. In the Renaissance of Chinese calligraphy, the popularity of calligraphy art made calligraphy art play a significant role in helping the whole people to improve art aesthetics. More importantly, the popularity of calligraphy art created a good mass foundation for the great development of calligraphy. However, since the development of calligraphy, a problem is puzzling everyone. How to develop the calligraphy industry? Although many people hold a disdainful attitude to this, but the development of calligraphy industry has become an inevitable internal demand. The popularization of calligraphy has built a good platform to solve this problem. The establishment of Chinese calligraphy publishing and media company is an exploration for the development of calligraphy industry. Calligraphy industry, predecessors did not leave behind experience, modern people do not have large-scale operation, how to do? This is a matter of great wisdom. It will also be a very important event for the future development of Chinese culture and the development of culture through economic development.
 
 
 
In a comprehensive view, we ushered in a rare period of development of calligraphy in history. We ushered in a period of opportunity for calligraphy to participate in a large number of people in history. We finally handed over a noble art activity to the people. Most importantly, during this period, our calligraphy development has good system, mechanism and policy support, we have many outstanding calligraphers in the effort to move forward; we have more and more thinkers to join the calligraphy team. Because it is national, calligraphy will guide us further; because it is national elites, the level of calligraphy creation is expected to usher in the era of "new classics". Artistic life, artistic life. Only the art of the whole nation can have such a state, such an opportunity and great hope for the revival of calligraphy.
