It is said that painting and calligraphy are not separated. How about Qi Baishi's calligraphy?

Everyone has his favorite choice, but it is easier to learn painting and calligraphy, and it is easier and better to learn painting and calligraphy. The difference is that calligraphy focuses on the aesthetic changes of fonts. Ink painting pays more attention to the needs of composition and artistic conception, and uses the burning change of ink to render the level, three-dimensional sense and various atmospheres of the picture. It's not enough to draw by yourself. So there is no necessary connection between the two. However, studying literati painting after Yuan Dynasty, especially landscape painting, is of great benefit to painting. Inscription and good calligraphy are of course necessary qualities.

In addition, long-term training on the structure of words in the process of calligraphy writing is also conducive to grasping the images. More importantly, the advanced mood of writing is consistent with that of painting. Therefore, with a deep knowledge of calligraphy, it may have an advantage in painting. Three of the six methods, that is, coloring with the class, changing the shape and operating the position, are mainly aimed at painting, but calligraphy is not involved. In other words, no matter how good your calligraphy is, it doesn't mean that you can draw. But in reality, there are many people who can draw and their calligraphy is not very good. On the other hand, many people who are good at calligraphy can't even draw. After all, these are two different arts, because there are specialties in the art.

But he is indeed the most important representative of the "Shanghai School" of calligraphy. Ancient calligraphers were good at painting everywhere, but some of them covered paintings, and we only knew their calligraphy, while others covered their paintings, and we only knew their paintings. The height of calligraphy determines the height of painting. In reality, it takes ten years or even years to become a painter, but it takes at least twenty years to become a calligrapher. People with good calligraphy learn to draw, and they will certainly not be like ordinary people at first. But it is not easy to learn. A considerable number of people who write calligraphy later learn to draw, and it is easy to enter the line angle.
