In this article, we will introduce a very special and very sad form of calligraphy. As the title says, this kind of calligraphy can be called "beggar calligraphy". Being a beggar is a very humble status, and no one wants to be reduced to this level. However, no one can predict the sadness of life and the misfortune of fate, let alone bear it. And what about calligraphy? As an art that can be enjoyed by both refined and popular people, the threshold for calligraphy is quite low. If you are interested, you can basically learn it by yourself. Of course, if you want to become a calligrapher, in addition to understanding and persistence, systematic study and guidance from famous experts are also indispensable. Beggars and calligraphy were originally two words that had nothing to do with each other. However, due to the pressure of life, they had no choice but to do art in order to make a living! There have indeed been some beggar calligraphers around us. You may wish to take a look at the following pictures.
These people all fell into this situation because of their physical disabilities. However, the hardships of life and the misfortunes of fate cannot defeat their perseverance. With their love for calligraphy and their own skills, these poor people did not give up their dignity! Performing arts or even selling calligraphy on the roadside has naturally become their way of making a living. When you are young, who can not have dreams? These street word sellers, like every ordinary person, work hard with their own sweat and their own hands to make a living. Although the beggar calligraphers in the picture above do not have an elegant writing environment, their handwriting is very high-level. Whether it is European regular script, official script, or self-created fonts, they are all very beautiful. The author Cui Xianren in the first picture has his fonts included in the font library and applied for a patent, and his life has also changed accordingly. It can be said that what these beggar calligraphers write is no longer calligraphy, it is a kind of life. For example, this is especially true for the old scavenger below.
The fate of this old man scavenging was also very unfortunate. However, he always insisted that even though he was old and frail, he was not willing to beg to survive. His love for calligraphy was also one of the reasons why this old man was so persistent. This old scavenger often writes on the street in the park, and the handwriting he writes in is particularly cursive. This old scavenger who writes cursive script will immediately attract many passersby to stop once he prepares paper and ink and kneels down to write. So how good are the old man's cursive writing works? Let’s take a look again and refer to the picture below.
When the old man was writing in cursive script, he didn't need to post it, and most of what he wrote was Tang poetry and Song lyrics. Because of the inconvenience of his legs and feet, this old man who scavenged often knelt on the floor and waved brushes in order to move more flexibly when writing. His cursive writing works, as a whole, are very complete, coherent and smooth. Whether it is the continuous strokes or the structure and organization, everything is very natural and has no artificiality. The cursive calligraphy of this old scavenger is antique, but it shows a bit of vicissitudes of life. What the audience sees is the calligraphy written by the old man, but the old man is writing his own life. Despite the hardships of his life, the old man's cursive writing is extraordinary and powerful. Appreciating the works of the old man scavenging, we can not only see the charm of cursive writing, but also feel the perseverance and optimism of life. The author believes that this is calligraphy, and it is calligraphy in the true sense! Even though a piece of calligraphy written by an old man scavenging can only be sold for 50 yuan! But it is deeply moving.
Although beggar calligraphy is also very beautiful, some of it is self-contained. However, this kind of street calligraphy is not good in the eyes of some calligraphy experts and calligraphy masters! Especially in the eyes of some so-called calligraphy masters, this kind of beggar calligraphy is not worthy of elegance and has no charm of calligraphy at all. However, looking back at the works of the masters of shooting ink, ugly calligraphy, blind calligraphy, and roaring calligraphy, can their works be called calligraphy innovations? As many netizens said: "Masters of ugly calligraphy should be ashamed after seeing these beggars' calligraphy!"
Do you think beggar’s calligraphy can be called “calligraphy”? Are you willing to spend 50 yuan to buy a calligraphy of an old man scavenging?
