Fan Ceng is obviously a master of Chinese studies. Why is he always scolded?

The name Fan Ceng is easily confused with Fan Zeng, a military strategist of Xiang Yu. When it comes to Fan Ceng, nine times out of ten, Fan Zeng comes to mind first. This model is not Fan Zeng, but a contemporary master. However, in the online world, the evaluation of Fan Ceng is polarized. Praisers think that they are knowledgeable and have everyone's demeanor; A derogatory person thinks it is difficult for him to become a master. Anyway, if Fan Ceng's name is put online, media writers can always earn a wave of traffic, which is largely "scolded". Fan Ceng is obviously a master of Chinese studies. Why is he always scolded? Look at what he said.

Who's Fan Ceng?

Fan Ceng's ancestor was Fan Zhongyan, who was also a noble family. Because of his family history, Fan Ceng also wrote a good poem. It's just that Fan Ceng's reputation in painting is so great that his poetic talent is covered up. Fan Ceng studied at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in his early years. At that time, the Central Academy of Fine Arts was full of masters, including Li Keran, Li Kuchan and Huang Yongyu.

Fan Ceng was a junior at that time, studying under Li Kuchan and Li Keran. It stands to reason that it is good to enjoy the cool under a big tree, but Fan Ceng's fame depends on another master: Guo Moruo. Fan Ceng graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts at the age of 24, and Guo Moruo wrote an inscription for him, which made him famous.

Destroy and slander the whole world.

Fan Ceng became famous in the 1970s. After he became famous, public opinion faced polarization. Japanese called him one of the "Top Ten Painters in Modern China", but China didn't think highly of his paintings, thinking that his paintings were too dull and not vivid enough to draw animals well. Fan Ceng's calligraphy is often hundreds of thousands, but it is called "hand shaking" by the book circle. A painter's life depends entirely on painting and calligraphy, but Fan Ceng's painting and calligraphy are scolded to pieces, especially the assembly line painting.

In addition, there are many grievances between Fan Ceng and teachers such as Huang Yongyu, Li Kuchan and Shen Congwen. Li Kuchan, in particular, denied that Fan Ceng was a student. So much so that Fan Zeng didn't even have a chance to mourn Master. Fan Ceng's personal life is also the hardest hit by people's "scolding". Equally contemptible is that he abandoned his wife and daughter and married a friend's wife, Nan Li.

Look at what he said.

No matter what others say, Fan Ceng always thinks highly of himself. When Fan Ceng was 60 years old, he had a self-evaluation: "He is obsessed with painting, can write, and occasionally writes poetry, which is quite expressive. Good reading history, a little change from ancient to modern. " Judging from his self-evaluation, Fan Ceng feels good about himself, and there is an arrogance in his humility.

Not counting this, he also boasts that he is the first person in Chinese painting in 500 years! According to his standards, Qi Baishi, Wu Changshuo, Qi Gong and other Chinese painting masters are all behind him. Scholars despise each other, but they should have a "light" degree. This self-assessment has also become a big "stain" on Fan Ceng.

Despite the controversy, he is still a master.

It's not good to scold or praise, which is what a public figure should bear. In fact, apart from controversy, Fan Ceng is still a master. To tell the truth, people who scold Fan Ceng may not really know Fan Ceng. In other words, quite a few people in the group who scold Fan Ceng are following the crowd and are influenced by the network environment.

I have seen the interview video of Fan Ceng, who knows all kinds of allusions like the back of his hand. He recited Du Fu's Car Shop in standard ancient Chinese, which left a deep impression on people. He insisted on getting up at six o'clock every morning to study for decades. Can you say that he has no real talent and learning? Don't! Knowing a person should be objective and fair, not a slap in the face. Therefore, apart from controversy, Fan Ceng is still a great master.
