Early photos of Zhao Zhongxiang and Ni Ping.
In fact, as far as calligraphy literacy is concerned, Zhao Zhongxiang and Ni Ping are both famous, but to be fair, neither of them is a professional calligrapher. However, the spirit of calligraphy does not allow us to define non-professional and professional. Since it is widely rumored that Zhao Zhongxiang and Ni Ping write calligraphy, and they themselves flaunt it, it is necessary to look at their calligraphy from the perspective of professional calligraphy. See if they have real calligraphy qualifications.

Zhao Zhongxiang dares to sell anti-counterfeiting
Zhao Zhongxiang's "play" calligraphy is quite famous in the industry, not only because he is famous for writing, but also because he has a very good calligraphy friend. Zhao Zhongxiang's children are Fan Ceng, the bond of 40 years' friendship. Mr. Fan is very accomplished in calligraphy. It is speculated that the two of them sometimes communicate privately. Therefore, Zhao Zhongxiang's calligraphy has more or less the shadow of Fan Ceng, after all, what is congenial.

To be fair, Zhao Zhongxiang's calligraphy is quite refreshing, with a little bit of literati's calligraphy in it. It's just that Bian Xiao's "meaning" here is really not that interesting. However, all literati calligraphy needs strong cultural literacy as a support, just as Mr. Qi Gong was born a literati calligraphy; Secondly, whenever a literati's calligraphy needs to express his true feelings, it looks natural. For example, Mr. Wu Sanda's calligraphy is handy and unpretentious. Zhao Zhongxiang's calligraphy does not have these two points.
Zhao Zhongxiang took a group photo with the character seeker.
It doesn't matter if you don't, just dare to write. Zhao Zhongxiang's courage is commendable. No matter what you say about me, pick up the brush and I can pretend to be a calligrapher. People not only dare to write but also dare to sell, and they also got an anti-counterfeiting technology ingeniously. It is not uncommon for Zhao Zhongxiang's calligraphy to range from tens of thousands to millions in the market. In order to take care of the possibility that the character-seekers face doubts, Zhao Zhongxiang took a group photo as a souvenir when meeting with the character-seekers. Zhao Zhongxiang's move, can be said to be broken heart, almost to the seam.
Ni Ping
Ni Ping dare to write, someone holds.
Ni Ping is not a professional calligrapher and his writing style is not very good, but taking his old partner as an example, he has made great efforts in the word "dare". Ni Ping's calligraphy is very distinctive, the biggest feature is that he dares to write and is elegant. This kind of thing is unwilling to come, it is a natural thing, and this is the reason why it comes naturally. The problem of Ni Ping's elegance lies in the word "outfit".

Ni Ping's calligraphy has the shadow of inscriptions, but it has not got rid of the influence of inscriptions. This invitation is certainly good, but to a certain extent, we will get rid of the influence of the inscription. Ni Ping's calligraphy has reached the realm of copying, but he is still obsessed with copying rubbings and has nothing of his own. Ni Ping's calligraphy is so stubborn that her calligraphy is passive. She wants to write elegantly but not with dogs.

Rao, Ni Ping's calligraphy has a good market. Ni Ping's calligraphy and Zhao Zhongxiang's calligraphy are not calligraphy at all. If it is closely related to calligraphy, it is celebrity calligraphy at most. One of the greatest characteristics of celebrity calligraphy is that no matter how you write, you are a celebrity. This is undoubtedly calligraphy. In addition, Ni Ping had a large number of loyal audiences in her early years, so she dared to write, and people held her. You hold it and I'll lift it. Maybe Ni Ping thought he was really a calligrapher, but he wasn't.

Although it is good for them to retire and "play" calligraphy, they can't do anything else under the guise of calligraphy. Zhao Zhongxiang's "playing" with calligraphy is understandable because he dares to write, and it is a fake, and it is also a kind of love for those who seek words. Ni Ping's "playing" with calligraphy is not only "bold", but also held by others. As a result, the atmosphere of calligraphy has changed to a great extent. High-quality and low-profile calligraphy is unknown to everyone; Calligraphy lovers have a reputation for poor calligraphy and are very popular. Calligraphy is rigorous, there are good and bad points, and it cannot be different from person to person.
