Famous comment

Ouyang Zhongshi

In the history of Chinese civilization for thousands of years, calligraphy occupies an irreplaceable important position. It is culture, art, and a national treasure that cannot be discarded.

With the development of science and technology in China, more and more textual information is communicated by tools. Many people can only talk but cannot write. In addition, modern Chinese teaching methods ignore the writing of Chinese characters. I feel the crisis of Chinese calligraphy. . Where is Chinese calligraphy going? We cannot but make old calligraphers like us worry and worry about the inheritance and development of calligraphy art. In some collections of calligraphy and calligraphy, I have seen Hou Jianhe's calligraphy many times.

This is the ancients' understanding and experience of calligraphy. . Only with both law and spirit can the work be perfected day by day.

He has participated in various calligraphy exhibitions at home and abroad for many times, which has caused a great response and sensation, so his works have more audiences to appreciate.
