What constitutes good criticism? The Song dynasty calligrapher Mi Fu believed that the essence of criticism lies in "not avoiding the heavy for the light." Today, there are countless articles on calligraphy criticism, leaving readers perplexed. How can we draw from ancient wisdom, learn from strengths and compensate for weaknesses, analyze issues accurately and get to the heart of the matter, work diligently without making arbitrary judgments, and thereby achieve understanding and sincere conviction among readers—this has become a practical challenge for critics.
How can one write good criticism? Critics must possess independent critical energy, a pure heart, conscience, a sense of responsibility, as well as excellent professional ethics and scholarly cultivation. If you lack personal desires, you can eliminate various distractions and resist all temptations, truly opening yourself up to honest critique. It is unrealistic to expect someone who chases trends, seeks fame and profit, or behaves cynically to become a true critic. A critic must have profound scholarly foundations, keen observational skills, rational critical thinking, and creative insight—capable of perceiving what others overlook, daring to criticize, and reasoning clearly. The specificity and representativeness of criticism not only avoid redundancy and one-dimensionality but also collectively reflect the style of criticism, serving as an essential indicator and value orientation for the directionality and academic rigor of critique.
