In fact, there are a lot of calligraphers who are good at regular script at present. Although it can't be said that all calligraphers write unfamiliar regular script, at least most calligraphers are good at regular script.

We have seen several calligraphers who are very popular on the Internet but have been severely criticized, such as Wang Dongling, Shao Yan and Ceng Xiang. That they are afraid of regular script is really nonsense. Look at their early regular script works, not to mention their profound skills, but at least they are quite well written.

Like Fang and He Fang, their regular script is definitely a generation of masters. If all calligraphers are required to write regular script all their lives, they are not allowed to write anything else. Only regular script is calligraphy, and everything else is discarded. What's the difference between that and the literary inquisition?

I once said that from a calligraphy enthusiast to a calligrapher, no matter whether he is at the municipal, provincial or national level (except those who enter the book association in some way), 80%-90% are familiar with regular script. Only after years of study and training, the main direction of attack has changed, and many fans and calligraphers do not take regular script as the main form of expression. Because every calligraphy lover and calligrapher experienced the enlightenment of calligraphy in childhood, it is inevitable to contact and train regular script in the enlightenment stage, which is beyond doubt.

If all calligraphers are required to write regular script all their lives? Is that still calligraphy? What's the use of a book club? Calligraphy art is in full bloom, and the real cursive script and seal script reflect each other to form a whole calligraphy art, not the monopoly of regular script.

Those who suggest that calligraphers are most afraid of regular script are either ignorant or give some regular script coaches a platform.
