2022书法:笔墨当随时代

Calligraphy in 2022:Pen and Ink Should Keep Pace with the Times

2022年的中国书法聚焦主题创作、人才队伍、内涵发展和学科建设等重要问题,着力改变书法发展方向,提升学术层次和社会影响,进一步彰显笔墨当随时代的艺术真谛。其中,书法展览注重与国家和社会发展相结合,书法创作自觉回归传统、回归经典、回归自然。对于人品和学问的重视已经成为书坛的重要发展趋势,书法家既要注重个人专业素质和文化素养的提升,又要坚持以人民为中心的创作导向。当代书法发展要充分体现时代价值,既要努力探寻古代文字和书法的重要价值,又要强调汉字的规范化和准确性书写。书法成为一级学科,是当代书法之幸,表现出书法的地位和影响进一步提升,但实际是机遇与挑战并存,书法学未来的发展应该是向着文化的,而不是艺术表现的方向前进。

In 2022, Chinese calligraphy focused on important issues such as theme creation, talent team, connotation development and discipline construction. Also, it concentrated the efforts on changing the direction of calligraphy development, enhancing its academic level and social influence, which further demonstrates the true essence that calligraphy should keep pace with the times. Among all the issues, the combination of the national and social development in calligraphy exhibitions are emphasized, and calligraphic creation consciously returns to tradition, to classics, and to nature. It has become an important development trend of the emphasis on character and learning in calligraphers’ circles. Calligraphers should not only pay attention to the improvement of personal professionalism and cultural literacy, but also adhere to the people-centered creative orientation. The development of contemporary calligraphy should fully represent the values of the times, not only striving to explore the important value of ancient characters and calligraphy, but also emphasizing the standardization and accuracy of Chinese characters. Calligraphy has become a first-level discipline, which is the fortune of contemporary calligraphy. It shows that the status and influence of calligraphy have been further enhanced, while opportunities and challenges still co-exist. The future development of calligraphy should move towards the direction of culture rather than art.
