The ink is clear and the pen is fragrant - the artistic world of Chaozhou calligrapher Liang Yonglin
When you walk into Mr. Liang Yonglin's living room, you can easily see the calligrapher himself on the front wall A large cursive calligraphy work. This work is about Su Dongpo's "Mid-Autumn Festival", and what matches the meaning of the words is Liang Yonglin's unique calligraphy style. The cursive writing is free and easy, elegant and flying, full of spirit and energy; it is used both from the middle and the side of the pen, and the strokes are harmonious with the sides. The rhythm is clear and follows the trend. Complementing the cursive script are his official script works. Against the backdrop of the full set of mahogany furniture in the study, each frame of text looks even more pleasing to the eye. If you savor it carefully, you will find that its official script is insightful, vigorous and sophisticated, giving people a feeling of simplicity, strength and unrestrainedness. Mr. Liang Yonglin regards cursive script and official script as his "two axes" and is proud of them. No wonder Mr. Fan Zeng, a famous calligrapher and painter, called him a "book monster" after appreciating his works; Xie Yun, a famous poet and calligrapher, admired Mr. Liang Yonglin's title calligraphy on the overseas edition of "People's Daily" and sighed, "It's so beautiful and clear." The bookish atmosphere is like red leaves stained with winter clouds, and it is beautiful and literary, which can be called a wonderful thing." He also specially composed a poem to praise it: "The poem is decorated with brocade and elegant inscriptions, and the ink is clear and pearly. It lingers for a long time. Hanguang left a repertoire of manuscripts and manuscripts, and the jade version produces fragrant calligraphy and rhyme."
