Wang Youjie, the former standing committee member of the Henan provincial Party committee and the former Secretary of the Zhengzhou municipal Party committee, was on the stage when he assessed the calligraphy price to be more than 1000 yuan per square foot, the Beijing Youth Daily reported. After the fall of the horse, an auction house once auctioned a calligraphy work of Wang Youjie through the Internet, starting at 30 yuan, but no one paid attention to it.

This is really a corrupt official, there is no sufficient view. Calligraphy has always been the calligraphy of calligraphers, celebrities and officials. Calligrapher's calligraphy, needless to say, is collected for its unique aesthetic value. The calligraphy of celebrities has humanistic value because the calligrapher is a celebrity. What people value is not the calligraphy skill itself. As for a person who has become a great official and has been a famous and important official for many generations, his calligraphy is of great value even if its level is not in the current.

I don't know how many times before the tragicomedy like Wang Youjie fell from a high place. Those inscriptions inlaid with gold and silver, glittering with gold, will be shoveled away as soon as the author falls, and people will avoid them as plague. These inscriptions and calligraphy, when their authors are in a high position of power, are all worth hundreds of times. Those who observe them are full of praise and those who seek them are eager for them. This is not the case, but many officials do not seem to understand this common sense.

Nowadays, some officials are fond of attaching themselves to vulgarity, which is not a problem in itself. But when they are involved in elegance, how can they care about it? When some officials become bigger, they seem to have an illusion, as if they are omnipotent, omnipotent, and really gifted.
Therefore, graffiti became one of the calligraphers and painters, made several reports and became a speaker, and made several collections, of course, writers or poets.

The price of Wang Youjie's calligraphy, which has fallen from 1000 yuan per square foot to 30 yuan per square foot, has also been ignored, proving that many officials believe that a high level of elegance is just an illusion. Perhaps, the evaluation of officials' calligraphy level is close to the truth only after they are not in office, and before that, the price was mostly inflated. However, the illusion of officials is not entirely self generated. There are trumpet blowers and sedan bearers nearby. Behind them, there are people who pay for the sedan chair. There are so-called experts around. But why don't there be so many people to flatter the officials when they get off the stage or down? No one wants your words, no one buys your paintings, no one reads your books, no one cooperates when you want to give a free speech, but it's because your pen that can help people get promoted and make money is gone.

Being an official should not only be separated from making money, but also should be consciously separated from many things, such as not indulging in becoming a calligrapher, painter, writer and poet. Nowadays, it's not easy for officials to do well in their own affairs because of their heavy responsibilities. How can they have more time and energy to engage in literary and art creation and exchange? Of course, in addition to government affairs, it's undoubtedly thousands of times more elegant to write a few lines of poems or copy a masterpiece at home, or to have a discussion with friends in the third and fifth five years.
