Features: The Calligraphyist Text is a "text" concerning the "calligraphyist discourse," interlinked with "calligraphyist exhibitions," "calligraphyist events," and "calligraphyist criticism." The Calligraphyist Main Text selects 42 out of nearly 800 reviews on "calligraphyist criticism" published across the country from 1993 to 2000. These "discourse" pieces are compiled in this "text" because of an important fact about our culture: a scientific "discourse" about humans must pass through this stage of death. The emergence of The Calligraphyist Main Text is not an isolated cultural channel; its conceptual origins are not only juxtaposed with contemporary critical theory and postmodern culture but are also closely tied to the specific "background" of our own cultural history. Under such a "pluralistic" cultural "background," "calligraphyism" naturally becomes a "discourse" and topic of inquiry. The Calligraphyist Main Text is an indispensable and closely connected key part of modern Chinese ink art. Once "calligraphy" is truly realized in the essence of "Han," its "discourse" will come closer to the hearts of countless masses, and its spirit will roam across the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, nearly spreading throughout the cities, towns, streets, and rural areas where we live. As a conceptual exhibition or performative activity, The Calligraphyist Main Text is not merely an attempt to change people's judgments of past "non-calligraphyist" perspectives but aims to bring the "non-calligraphyist discourse" of people closer through the "text," enabling them to discover the conceptual changes within the "calligraphyist discourse" itself, as well as the "languages" people commonly use and the "discourses" they employ now. The Calligraphyist Main Text is an important shaped object, revealing the "calligraphyist discourse" function of the object through reshaping, bringing to light what cannot be heard or seen in our natural cultural life, describing today's calligraphy life, and dissolving the practical activities and subjectivity of calligraphy. The Calligraphyist Main Text is both a "captured object" and a "crafted work"; it is both a conceptual exhibition and a stack of "discourse" wealth.
