Yet most calligraphers feel neither despair nor nonchalance. Just as Chiang Hsun said, "All the perfect art forms are memoirs to past history. Contemporary artists must dwell with contradiction and confusion, struggling and groping for direction; they must try to carve out a new path to express inner feelings through unwieldy and unfinished forms.
正如蔣勳所言：「一切完美的藝術形式，都已經是歷史過去的紀念，真正當代的創作者，必然在形式中矛盾、掙扎、摸索、困惑著，在難堪而未成就的形式中嘗試走出一條表達內心情感的新路。」
