Recently, at the opening ceremony of the Chinese Cursive Script Gallery, Zhang Xuguang, one of the "Four Great Cursive Script Masters" and former deputy secretary-general of the Chinese Calligraphers Association, once again made a bold statement: "I want to turn cursive script into human art, and it will definitely have a profound impact on the world!"

Zhang Xuguang said: "As Chinese calligraphy has developed to this day, the art of cursive script has received more and more attention in the calligraphy world." Two-thirds of the paintings in this exhibition were written with a brush, and most of them were cursive script. In other words, every calligrapher has worked hard for decades and has gone through countless calligraphy experiences, but in the end he still has to reach the height of cursive script!



"How can this be? Because cursive writing is beyond practicality and exists only for emotion. It carries only the human soul. Therefore, if people want to make progress, if people want to improve, if people want to improve, they must pursue cursive writing. This is what I call the evolution and sublimation of human thought. The establishment of the Cursive Art Museum also conforms to the needs of this era and the needs of the development of calligraphy art as a whole.



"Finally, we want to say that calligraphy has undergone tremendous changes. It is no longer a simple use, but a kind of emotion, a kind of beauty, a kind of cursive writing. It has great advantages in expressing the feelings of the Chinese people and the feelings of the Chinese people. I believe that our calligraphy art will become more prosperous as our country's economy and culture recover."



Zhang Xuguang concluded by saying: "I have always advocated cursive script. This is an art that belongs to mankind and will definitely have a profound impact on the world!"

Many netizens disagree with Zhang Xuguang's bold words. They think that this just represents that calligraphy has entered an "era of talking", where what counts is people who can speak well, and who can send a "satellite into space" is a calligrapher!



One commentator pointed out this:

"What a courage! What a courage! Feeling that evil aura, you will fail in the end!"

"The biggest advantage of cursive writing is that it can cover up one's ugliness. It is the best disguise!"

"The ancients said that ghost-drawing characters are the simplest. No one has ever seen it. The characters they write are like drawing ghosts!"



In fact, we cannot say that cursive script is an advantage. Any kind of calligraphy, as long as it is well written, is an art! Some people say that Zhang Xuguang's praise of cursive script is a very low-level behavior. No matter what style, it is very important. Just because you write a kind of cursive script, you can't elevate its status and ignore other styles. This is a very irresponsible behavior!
