Chen Zhongkang, who calls himself a "nerd scholar", was appointed as the first dean of the School of Arts at the China Academy of Art, which attracted widespread attention from many netizens. This is a very ordinary news, but in fact it is very good news, representing a good change in the calligraphy industry and breaking the long-standing monopoly of laymen in universities.

The Calligraphy Department of the China Academy of Art was officially completed on April 8 to celebrate the 95th anniversary of the founding of the China Academy of Art. When Mr. Chen Zhongkang served as the first president of the university, he said in his speech: "In the past, senior painters such as Pan Tianshou, Lu Weizhao, and Sha Menghai established the first batch of high-level calligraphy in New China with the aspirations of their predecessors. After 60 years, the establishment of a calligraphy department is in line with the needs of the times and a response to the immortal contributions of our predecessors.

Chen Zhongkang said that the most important thing in life is to be a good person. He learned calligraphy to hone his character. As he said, calligraphy is a person's character. We should carry forward the spirit of cooperation of our predecessors, learn from each other, seek common ground while reserving differences, deepen the research of old knowledge, and cultivate new knowledge.

Chinese calligraphy has its own heritage. After the unremitting efforts of several generations of teachers and students, the Calligraphy Department of the China Academy of Art has developed its own characteristics and has been recognized and acknowledged in the academic community. We must pass it on and let it flourish in the future.

At the same time, we should look at calligraphy with a broad mind and a long-term perspective, uphold the spirit of striving for art, understand the ancient times of calligraphy, understand the present of calligraphy, understand the essence of calligraphy, take conscious academic conscience as the core, promote justice, be self-reliant and self-disciplined, and keep moving forward. With a willingness to serve as a stepping stone and the courage to contribute, we should shoulder the heavy responsibility of cultivating talents for the Renaissance in the new era, lead the students' spiritual city with our personal charm, open the door to students' minds with artistic cultivation, and use the talents of talents to show the promising study of calligraphy.

Chen Zhongkang said frankly: "I am a nerd, and I am far from being good at this." In fact, he was elected as the vice president of the China Academy of Art, and he deserved it. Look at those professors and doctoral supervisors who dominate the calligraphy department. Although they don't have much talent, they are also good at it. They use their own messy writings as teaching materials to educate the next generation. No wonder many netizens angrily denounced: "Today's art academies are the source of the ugliest calligraphy!"

Chen Zhongkang is a representative of the orthodox calligraphy school of "Two Wangs", a member of the Running Script Committee of the Chinese Calligraphers Association, and a powerful calligrapher. Chen Zhongkang is a faithful successor of the modern traditional calligraphy school. His calligraphy is steady and has a simple charm, especially the running and cursive scripts, which have a fresh and refined feeling and a positive spirit. Among young calligraphers, there was a time when it was called Chen Zhongkang's calligraphy school.

It takes ten years to grow a tree, and a hundred years to grow one. Chen Zhongkang's appointment gives people a good feeling. His calligraphy is monopolized by those who are not up to the mark. This is good news and a good start.
