Yan Fuchu (Deputy to the 13th National People's Congress, Deputy Director of Hunan Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism, Chairman of Hunan Book Association)

As a calligrapher, Yan Fuchu has been paying attention to the writing and aesthetics of Chinese characters for a long time, and the idea of ​​submitting related proposals has also been brewing for a long time. In this year's two sessions, Yan Fuchu will submit a proposal titled "On Strengthening the Management of Aesthetic Application Standards in Chinese Character Writing".

Yan Fuchu said: "Chinese character writing is a calligraphy art loved by the public, and it has established the basic aesthetic style of the Chinese nation. However, there are many chaos in the application of Chinese character writing in daily life, which is worrying."

The exhibition of "Jianghu Calligraphy" attracted many people to watch

Yan Fuchu listed several manifestations of the chaotic aesthetic application of Chinese character writing:

First, a large number of works that deviate from the writing rules of calligraphy art and abandon the traditional calligraphy aesthetics and vulgar aesthetic consciousness are flooding the public living space. The forms of expression of these books are different. Some claim to be "masters", but in fact they deviate from the tradition and follow the style of writing; Create fonts, destroy the structure of Chinese characters at will, and mislead the public.

The second is that there are a large number of writing behaviors for the purpose of profit, using various graffiti and vulgar performances as means. This kind of writers aim to highlight themselves, attract people's attention, and create gimmicks. They use pen and ink writing as their external form, and perform to the best of their abilities. Some do not use hands, but use mouth, feet, nose, hair, etc. to make books, similar to street juggling, and the methods are disgusting. This kind of morbid aesthetics and show-off hype can easily cause the general public to deviate from the aesthetic perception of calligraphy.

In addition, a large number of shoddy and vulgar calligraphy handwritten fonts are widely included in various network fonts and widely disseminated, which can easily mislead ordinary people, especially young people, on the aesthetics of Chinese character art; some are innovation-oriented, pursue individuality, and strengthen form composition His calligraphy creation has a big gap with the public aesthetics in terms of calligraphy aesthetics, writing form and writing behavior.

"The main reason for these chaos is the chronological inheritance of calligraphy culture, as well as the general lack of basic common sense of calligraphy art and basic calligraphy aesthetic ability." Yan Fuchu believes that the influence of modern and contemporary Western art concepts, especially the concept of pop design The influence is also the cause of the chaos in the application of calligraphy. "The aesthetic application of Chinese characters urgently needs a standardized management mechanism."
