Chapter 277 Are you worthy?!
After a fierce operation, the master of art was already covered in ink.
Someone around him clapped excitedly and said, "Look at Master Shi Xiang, he is so willing to contribute to his calligraphy, and look at the ink marks in this body. He is really a pioneer of contemporary art!"
"Yes, yes, yes, what a master!"
Crack Crack Crack.
The flash kept stopping, and this master, who was both "shit" and "xiang", washed his hands in the basin brought by his assistant, wiped the ink marks on his face, and smiled at everyone, "It's been a long time since I've written calligraphy so vividly."
Zhong Yue instantly became petrified. He was still guessing which school this nonsensical painter belonged to. When he heard the word calligraphy, his heart suddenly dripped.
Writing calligraphy with great ease?
I... enjoy your uncle!
Zhong Yue patted the man who looked very knowledgeable and asked, "Uncle, please forgive me for being young and stupid. What style of calligraphy does Shi Xiang write?"
"You can call it Teacher Shi, Master Shi, or Everyone in Shi. Do you know the rules by calling it by yourself?"
“sorry~”
"What kind of foreign writing is it?"
"I'm sorry, old gentleman, Master Shi, what kind of style is this for Master Shi?"
The old man leaned on his hands with a cane, looking like he was lying on his old age, and straightened his chest, "Have you heard of Shi Xiang's ugly book?"
Zhong Yue shook his head, "I haven't heard of it, but it's really ugly."
"I know you young people don't have the vision of appreciating."
Zhong Yue smiled coldly. It was not that he had no aesthetic vision, nor that he was talking about ugly things. It was that this person used such behavior to name calligraphy. As a calligraphy scholar, he felt that this was shameless behavior.
This is an era of tolerance, and any bizarre artistic expression is tolerated and recognized. The concept of ugliness has been proposed. Now ugly calligraphy, roar calligraphy, and even weird calligraphy with clever names have been born out of the way, with the purpose of attracting attention. However, as the heir of traditional culture, Zhong Yue was very indignant to see such ugly calligraphy.
You can say that this is art, so sorry, I don’t appreciate your artistic vision, but you say that this is calligraphy, sorry, I can’t bear it. This is Zhong Yue’s attitude.
This kind of garbage is not worthy of being called calligraphy!
However, in the era of tolerance, there will be Virgin Bitch and Mavericks. When you criticize something, there will always be someone who will sing the opposite tune with you. Just like now, when these actors who don’t know whether they are invited or people who really appreciate ugly books, they applaud this work and shake hands with this so-called calligraphy master to take a photo, Zhong Yue is really angry!
You may not promote the things left by our ancestors, but it is completely garbage that is ruined in the name of art!
"Are you worthy?"
The originally harmonious artistic atmosphere was immediately in an embarrassing situation by saying "Are you worthy of?"
Many people looked over here in confusion. When they saw that it was Zhong Yue's questioning, they immediately looked sarcastic.
Originally, the old man stood aside and continued to look forward, not looking at Zhong Yue, but he muttered in his mouth, "Another unknown young man comes."
Someone rustled around and said, "The artistic atmosphere in China is really bad now. I knew that Master Shi's live calligraphy performance this time will cause controversy. Unexpectedly, those trolls used to comment online and abuse on Weibo, but now they actually blamed them on the spot? Alas, they are really low-quality, how did they get involved?"
The security guard on the side immediately came over and was about to expel Zhong Yue as a troublemaker.
"I'm sorry, sir, please leave."
"Hey, don't do this." Master Shi drank the two security guards, "Brother, what did you just say?"
Zhong Yue looked at Shi Xiang who was full of energy and sneered: "I said, that's all, are you worthy?"
"What are you worthy of? Are you saying that I am worthy of being a master of calligraphy? I have never claimed to be so arrogant. I have always said modestly that I, Shi, are just a calligraphy enthusiast."
The audience on the side communicated with each other: "Look, this is the master's posture, how humble he is."
"Teacher Shi, you deserve it! A contemporary calligraphy master!"
"No, no, you have polite."
Zhong Yue really couldn't suppress the indignation in his heart. Although in this era of freedom and tolerance, any artistic behavior, as long as it does not hinder others and does not have adverse effects on society, there is no explicit regulation that he cannot criticize such a "pseudo-master".
"No, I mean, is this graffiti called calligraphy? Do you get the title of calligraphy person?"
Zhong Yue said nothing about it.
This is no longer a tactful or dialectical criticism, but a direct and ruthless denial. Even Shi Xiang’s smile could not be held back.
Suddenly a reporter recognized Zhong Yue and shouted directly: "This is Zhong Yue who is competing with Kaihongxuan Wang Ge, and the gorgeous Zhong Yue!"
"Is it the one who wrote the Lingfei Sutra? The Lingfei Sutra that Xiling Seal Society just published was written by him?"
The old man next to him seemed to be a calligraphy enthusiast. His face, which was originally disdainful to Zhong Yue, suddenly changed to a little surprised, but he still returned to his disgust. "Young and energetic, I ran here to insult my seniors. Has your teacher not educated you to respect others?"
"Mr. Zhong, please explain why you slander Master Shi so much just now? Can you tell me your reasons?"
A group of reporters who were not interested in watching the fun all raised questions and prepared to "criticize" them and report on such sudden disputes between Zhong Yue and Shi Xiang. This is definitely another explosion of news in the cultural circle.
Zhong Yue kept looking at Shi Xiang's smiling eyes, "I just wanted to ask Mr. Shi, are you worthy?"
"Haha, I don't know how many times I have answered this question. Today, I will say it again. Art is neither right nor wrong, nor unchanging dogmatic form. My understanding of calligraphy is the fusion of ink and heart. This is also the artistic expression form I have always pursued, and it is also the inspiration and source of my creation."
"good!"
“That’s great!”
"Teacher Shi, I support you!"
Shi Xiang politely folded his hands around and bowed slightly to show his gratitude and support.
Seeing this scene, Zhong Yue sincerely wanted to laugh, a sad smile. Why, for thousands of years of inheritance, calligraphers of all generations have been constantly exploring and creating in calligraphy, and in this era, there will be such shameless people who force this sensational garbage to calligraphy and also named it art.
"I've never seen such a shameless person."
In one sentence, everyone present instantly ignited the emotions of everyone present.
