Han Meilin is a world-renowned Chinese painter who designed the mascots of the Beijing Olympics, the Fuwa.

People often say: "Every artist has his own teacher." It seems that Han Meilin also said so. His talent is not only in design and painting, but also in calligraphy. Of course, how high his calligraphy attainments are depends on personal opinion.

When he saw a piece of calligraphy by Han Meilin on the Internet, he was stunned. He found that a piece of calligraphy actually required the help of so many people, from picking up the pen, smoothing it, to the final seal, and then hanging it on the wall, there would be someone to assist at every step.

Not only that, Han Meilin was surrounded by a circle of people, all of whom looked very nervous and orderly. This scene was like an assembly line in a modern factory, where any mistake in any link could affect Han Meilin's calligraphy.

Han Meilin is undoubtedly the most important link in the production line. Nearly ten workers spent half a day writing the four characters "Shangshan Ruoshui" on it. The time-consuming work is beyond the reach of ordinary calligraphers.

Han Meilin's artistic attainments are very high, but is his calligraphy also very good? There are also many comments on articles about Han Meilin on the Internet, all of which say that Han Meilin's calligraphy is "unique and unique" and that he is the most creative calligrapher.

Judging from his works, there is no doubt that Han Meilin's calligraphy is unique, but it will take some time to say that he is "unrivaled in the world."

The word calligraphy has the meaning of "book", "writing" and "method". In summary, it is a writing activity carried out under certain rules and laws. From this point, we can see the defects of Han Meilin's calligraphy.

1. The writing is messy and there is no rhythm.

Calligraphy is about "charm", and "charm" is conveyed through "lines". Therefore, when we look through those classic calligraphy works, their lines are sometimes upright, sometimes solemn, sometimes rough, and sometimes curved. In short, they all have a unique rhythm and changes.

Han Meilin's strokes are one by one, without rules or pauses, which is very similar to the slogans he wrote on the wall. This stroke is straightforward and blunt, without any charm.

2. The characters look like cartoons, which is not calligraphy.

Han Meilin's calligraphy is full of artistic flavor, or it can be said that it is from the hand of its designer. However, doing so is completely different from the traditional Chinese style of solemnity and rigor, free and easy, profound and elegant, free and unrestrained, and elegant and unrestrained.

Every word written by Han Meilin is like a symbol. Once, I went to the Helan Mountains in Ningxia and saw the murals all over the mountain. Then I understood where Han Meilin's calligraphy came from. Han Meilin's subsequent interview also confirmed this view.

The murals in Helan Mountain are more like paintings than words. The fonts don't look like calligraphy at all.

In short, everything Han Meilin did in his life was limited to design. He had designed many stamps and created many brands. Perhaps it was because of his attainments in design that made him full of confidence in his works.

This confidence can be seen from his calligraphy. If you don’t believe it, you can look at his calligraphy. It is a kind of confidence, a kind of confidence, a kind of confidence that one knows he can’t do it, but still persists.

Han Meilin's calligraphy and paintings are very valuable, with one piece of his work easily fetching hundreds of thousands of yuan. How could a piece of "ghostly painting" be sold at such a high price?
