Every turning point in Li Jianping's life, from the military academy to the headquarters of the Military Commission, from the military sub-district to the local government, has increased insight into his calligraphy. The process of practice is also the process of life experience. Gradually, he knew himself better than before, and the significance of calligraphy to his life also changed. He knows how to change roles at any time and advance and retreat freely. In his mind, calligraphy "makes life bright." Li Jianping's home is near Fengqiao, and the canal water nourishes his aura. The Jiangnan context endowed him with spiritual insight, and his military career cultivated his integrity, simplicity, modesty and elegance. As the leader of the army, although he is brave and arrogant, he still insists on books without any slack. After returning to his hometown, Li Jianping was lucky to meet a famous teacher. Seeing the books written by gentlemen with my own eyes was an eye-opener. Listen to gentlemen's comments on books and truly feel the profoundness of calligraphy art. He began to grasp the ancient calligraphy posts from a higher and newer perspective, and re-immersed in the Wang Yang sea of calligraphy art. Li Jianping's knack for learning calligraphy is "learning from the strengths of famous families, learning from the strengths of the ancients, learning from the strengths of many families, making up for one's own shortcomings and bringing forth the new". More than 30 years of unremitting practice, step by step, has taken a big step in the cause of calligraphy. No matter how busy you work every day, you can't waver for an hour, which is the bottom line for practicing calligraphy. In a relatively short period of time, I solved the technical problems, and then I started my exploration journey.
Like an author, like a book.
If the famous teacher guided the way and tempered the "muscle, bone, blood and flesh" of Li Jianping's calligraphy, then the most valuable thing in his calligraphy is "essence, spirit, qi and pulse". "Books such as also. If he studies, if he is talented, if he is ambitious, in short, he is like a person. " It means that the words you write, its connotation, reflect your inner quality. Wang Xizhi: "It is natural to put the pen in front." Tao, from his words, knows his person. Regular script is the most familiar font and the most difficult to write well. Because it has complete eight laws and strict norms, "a little loss is like a beautiful woman losing her eye;" If a painting is lost, if a strong man breaks his arm. "Don't say a line failed, only a word, will cause regret throughout, it is difficult to become a boutique. It is easy to write in a rigid and lifeless way, which requires in-depth understanding and flexible wit. Learning is difficult, innovation is more difficult, and it is easy to get out of tune. Without courage and perseverance, it is absolutely impossible. Li Jianping's regular script is strewn at random. As Hua Rende said, calligraphy is a sense of mission. " Calligraphy is not an independent technology, but something with culture and context exists in it. In order to train strictly and keep improving, Li Jianping insisted on learning running script and cursive script, but he still insisted on learning regular script. He is convinced that regular script, as a form of calligraphy art, embodies China's unique etiquette and cultural civilization, and truly reflects the traditional aesthetic taste and philosophy of life of China people. Appreciating Li Jianping's calligraphy, Wang Weilin, vice chairman of Jiangsu Calligraphy Association, commented on eight words-the book is a heart painting, and the words are like people. The 30-year military career has branded Li Jianping with integrity, positivity and responsibility, and also injected a beautiful, elegant and natural bearing into his calligraphy works.
A special situation has been achieved
After decades of hard research and training, he has gradually become better and better, but he has not stopped there. He is still trudging in depth and continuing to take the classic road. Climbing the peak of the ancients is regarded as the way to enter the room, looking for inscriptions extensively, looking for famous traces everywhere, interacting with the ancients, copying inscriptions without posting them. In the world of the two kings, I have devoted myself to research, ponder and practice, and I have the courage and persistence to sharpen my sword for ten years. This accumulation and cultivation in art has made his own unique calligraphy style. Jianping's calligraphy has both his ardent admiration for China's traditional culture and his recognition of modern civilization. It is not only a book, but also contains the unique masculinity of soldiers. This vigorous strength stems from the army's cultivation of calligraphers and its adherence to the right path of life, so his works can not help revealing a unique spiritual connotation. Its running script, lines are chic and smooth, eclectic; His cursive script is wild and restrained with a pen. For Li Jianping, calligraphy is a kind of life experience without any utility, and it is the eternal power to keep enthusiasm. That kind of chic and lively, vivid and lively, this is also his first impression. In Li Jianping, soldiers and artists who are far apart are closely linked and integrated. So is calligraphy. The pursuit of China's calligraphy is to express life. Jianping's calligraphy is full of spirituality. Su Dongpo said: "A book must contain God, Qi, bone, flesh and blood. One of the five is not a book. " Sun used "people and books are old" to describe the relationship between calligraphy realm and people's experience and age, which means that the calligraphy created by Lao Jing is gradually becoming a realm. It can be concluded that the process of writing a book is also the process of writing one's own life course, and the trajectory of each stroke is also the trajectory of life activities. Jianping's calligraphy is durable. From an expert's point of view, the key to being good-looking is online. Deep, deep ink, full of ancient flavor, goes back through the paper; Refined people are also called elegant and refined, which is a rich cultural atmosphere contained between the lines. Jianping's calligraphy is not only the development of tradition, but also the interpretation of personality. It is full of simple and elegant taste and bears the weight of cotton-covered iron.
A cold life
Admirable is that in these impetuous social environments, he has not been confused by the world of mortals, nor has he been tired of fame and fortune, and has maintained his peace. If a color is used to describe Li Jianping, I believe it must be red. That's the color of the five-star red flag. It was a love for the motherland, and he could have easily been admitted to a prestigious school. He chose the military camp, and every step he took was tenacious and practical. He is modest and it is his duty to write well. It is precisely because of this creed that while his books are highly praised and affirmed, Li Jianping is honest and indifferent to fame and fortune, and praised by his peers and friends. Li Jian actively participates in all charitable activities on average, regardless of return. In this regard, he believes that this is a matter of responsibility and is not worth mentioning. If we use four words to describe Li Jianping's attitude towards life, it is to downplay life. A clean heart, indifferent and calm. During his military career for many years, Li Jianping has experienced too many storms, and he has an extraordinary understanding of life. During the day, he works hard. After eight hours, he has no other hobbies, that is, writing, relaxing, and writing books is more accurate and neat than walking around, starting a pen, closing it, turning around. Especially sitting quietly in regular script, counting crosses or hundreds of words, you will feel restless; If you are not careful, you will feel refreshed when you are wet. "The sound of the rain hidden in the deep forest makes the sacred heart * * * care. One water, one mountain and one month, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and wine for the rest of your life. " Li Jianping despises many things. Calligraphy represents the first realm of China people's philosophical activities returning from the thinking world to the real world, and also represents the last realm of getting rid of this real world. After Li Shutong became a monk, he gave up all the arts of music, painting, poetry and drama except calligraphy. During the fast, he took calligraphy as his daily class. Calligraphy is an "art" in which you can swim. Confucius said, "aim at Tao ... swim in art." Calligraphy is a kind of practice, not penance. There is also a life, which is the simplest, quietest and purest. The stoic school in ancient Greece also said that people's happiness lies in how to control and manage their own desires, rather than being enslaved by them. In life, he is gentle and dignified and versatile. Calligraphy has brought Li Jianping's life into a new stage. He said that calligraphy belongs to our hearts. When I hold a paintbrush in my hand, I seem to hold the most precious thing in my life. I enjoy this three-foot book case and enjoy the life of ink painting. It is precisely because of this clear spring-like state of mind that Li Jianping's calligraphy has an idyllic elegance. He effectively avoided the shackles of the diversity of calligraphy techniques and described ethereal movements with simple and simple strokes. Like a farmer, he slowly waved his whip and walked slowly on the vast fields step by step. At the same time, he is like a literati hermit, far away from the hubbub. Every stroke of his is a discovery of life, philosophy and beauty, leaving the most concise image of everything. Looking at flowers like flowers and clouds like clouds is simple and beautiful. In diligence and persistence, he studied silently; In the process of perseverance, he actively explored. He kept a quiet and interesting life and enjoyed the happiness of calligraphy.
