But the problem is, if home of a painting and calligraphy all the day indulge is commercialized run, so, give his art likely destroyed. I had encountered such painter, in him 40 years old before, feel he has an outlook very much, if prep bent on is drawn, probable meeting picture gives master of a few pieces of be handed down from ancient times that have historical value; Now, although he is very famous also, picture picture became imprint bank note machine, the result is, he is run in exceeding commerce in used up oneself all intelligence an wisdom, he won't have historical place again in bound of painting and calligraphy. Such example is very much, withstand of very rare person the temptation of money -- there also is this kind of case on archaic history, it is degree differs only just.

The student takes an examination of beautiful courtyard now, it is commonly " because it can give me a rice bowl " , support this kind of concept, the traditional art to accede and carrying on China did not hope. Below this premise, I think, appeal traditional culture of China now, need is established rise a kind of belief and ideal.

And with fend, profit etc utilitarian purpose is renunciative, establish a kind of belief that develops traditional skill, is this a kind of a castle in the air? I think is not. There are a few industrialists beside me, they often ask me: We a few friends think contributory an elementary school, can you help us be recommended? They are very young, this kind of manner that is not utility is probable it is Chinese traditional art can the main base that inheritance goes down. China already had certain economic base now, this is premise.

　　 The state of mind that takes a bit preference cries out for it

Chinese news weekly: Today's commercialize a society, people has a kind of blundering mentality generally, is this right did the development with Chinese artistic tradition cause impact?

Chen Zhenlian: The calligraphy that is not Chinese tradition certainly, brushwork and seal cutting just encounter this one problem. Learn piano, accordion, blundering person also learns bad. Chinese book, picture, seal cutting underlines the artistic kind that trains for a long time this kind, it is to need sober state of mind very much, but compare with the arena art such as modern drama, opera, it not very special.

I think, a more obvious question is, expressive form and present snack formed real skill to oppose between culture. Real decorous skill does not exist for recreation, very much even decorous art accepts numerous scale very small, there still is smaller and smaller tendency now.

A perfect society, each estate should be to each does what he thinks is right, each other is hands-off, but the dominant configuration that serves as culture, a man of insight should do a few pairs of culture to build good thing with his real operation, do a few businesses that are helpful for culture back, will support the spirit of this society.
