Cui Hanbai, an internet celebrity calligrapher, wrote an article pointing out that in today's world, there are two masters whose works are worth passing down from generation to generation. One is Bao Xianlun in the south, and the other is Wang Yong in the north. However, the calligraphy works of these two people are definitely not accepted by the general public.

Cui Hanbai and his calligraphy are both top-notch figures in the world. Mr. Wang Yong has a solid foundation in calligraphy, painting and aesthetics, but his focus is still on bricks.

Before the bricks were fired, they were already engraved with all kinds of patterns, and the carvings were very random, with many forks. Wang Yong learned something from this, and combined with his carving experience and his landscape paintings, he eventually had a three-dimensional feeling, a feeling that could be used for writing. His brushwork must be very good. I have read his "Lanting Preface", and the font is very mature and stable.

Mr. Wang Yong will definitely not be accepted by the public, otherwise, I will have to retire from my work in calligraphy education. Therefore, it will take a long time. However, if there were not so many brick carvings, would Wang Yong be successful?

Bao Xianlun mainly uses silk, with bamboo slips as an aid. He combines these and expresses them with his own handwriting, couplets and plaques. He masters the charm of small regular script, uses it for his own purposes, and writes with his own emotions. He incorporates things from the Qin and Han dynasties into his own calligraphy, which is a style inherited from his predecessors.

His calligraphy is getting closer and closer to modern and contemporary art, and his characters are becoming more and more concise and scattered. Only in this way can he write a complete character. Otherwise, in ancient times, if the characters were small, there would not be such momentum. Bao Xianlun was able to turn small characters inch by inch into the character "营". This is not his responsibility, nor is it his vision.

Moreover, changing from small font to large font is another style. The details pursued by the font cannot be found in this font.

Cui Hanbo thinks that with these two people, I think they are very potential representatives and people with great prospects. Some people also say that Chen Zhongkang, Zeng Xiang, Shao Yan and others are not mature enough.

Cui Hanbai, a popular online calligrapher, thinks that Bao Xianlun and Wang Yong will both be great calligraphers who will be remembered for generations to come, but netizens say, "It would be great if you could make the decision, then let you do it!" However, this is not up to you, and everything will be proven by history. Objectively speaking, it is difficult for anyone to enter the history of calligraphy, and it is not something that can be counted by just one word. It will take the test of time.
