He often admonishes his friends who study calligraphy: don't practice calligraphy just for the sake of practicing calligraphy. People who study calligraphy should be broad-minded and learn from all kinds of things, and read more books such as literature, history and philosophy. Otherwise, they will lack the traditional Chinese culture, and the things they write will be thin and not deep-rooted. For this reason, he practiced and read a lot of books, including Tang poetry, Song Ci, Lao Zhuang, Confucius, biographies and historical records of all kinds of famous people at home and abroad.

Because of this, his words are always full of rich cultural sense and literary popularity, and are always filled with a kind of profound and high spirited things.

Artistic realm

Ancient calligraphers have a saying that "if you want to practice calligraphy, you must cultivate yourself first". The so-called "calligrapher is the trace of the heart". If the heart is not right, how can you write good calligraphy? Ding Qian's calligraphy is certainly praised. But his approachable, open-minded, magnanimous character is more admirable. He seems to have a kind of affinity. Everyone who sees him has a feeling that his old friends are reunited. In the calligraphy circle, when people talk about him, the first thing they say is not his calligraphy, but his character. There are numerous examples of him helping others and teaching others tirelessly. A friend in the field of calligraphy said that Ding Qian was right: "the bamboo with an open mind has bowed leaves, but the plum with a proud heart has no flowers on the back." When asked about Ding Qian's perception of life, he held out two fingers and said: first, a philosopher said that one can only do one thing in one's life (of course, it refers to a larger category). If you get something, you must lose something. If you want to play more poker, you have to read less books and learn to study. If you want to be comfortable and comfortable, you don't want to toss, move and quiet Don't do the kind of "silly" things like practicing calligraphy and painting, which are like ascetics. Everyone has his own ambition, so we can't force it. Second, Mr. Lu Xun said that time is like water in a sponge. As long as you squeeze it, there will always be. If you are always shouting and have no time, you don't want to squeeze at all.

the bearing of a great general

People always have to have some spirit. With this spirit, we can do anything earth shaking, not to mention calligraphy. isn't it?
