To talk about artistic spirit, we have to talk about Yuan Mei in Qing Dynasty and modern Li Shutong. These two men were born with wealth, but they were willing to wander around Shan Ye, composing poems to relax their body and mind, and gained the freedom of pen and ink through physical and mental liberation. Therefore, calligraphy has achieved the ultimate, completely forgetting the shackles of inscriptions. Yuan Mei wrote a couplet in the spirit of nature and hung it in Nanjing Suiyuan, which attracted countless idle people to watch. It is said that this kind of calligraphy is only the brilliance of the spirit. Li Shutong went to the East to help Sang, and then returned to Zen. The nature of calligraphy turned into Zen silence, and a picture of sadness and joy was handed down in the Spring and Autumn Period, which still reflects nature and spirit. Mr. Li Jing's calligraphy originated from his heart. He observed the calligraphy of the two kings in Qin Zhuan. He is proficient in Zen and good at composing music. He became a comprehensive master who wandered in various cultural fields. He was kind and helpful. He became a virtuous elder who helped the world with the art of calligraphy and painting. Therefore, his pen and ink not only communicate with Qin Feng naturally, but also have the wonderful performance of Mo Yun, with a round and heavy gesture like a scroll!
We may have questions. Mr. Li Jing is not specialized in studying inscriptions. Why are all the books successful, and the seal script is inherited from Qin Feng, with high quality and elegant style? This truth is actually very simple to say, but it is quite profound to experience it carefully. His calligraphy is the result of practicing mental method, not the mechanical calligraphy that describes his appearance according to ancient inscriptions. The so-called mind method is the calligraphy principle from the unity of mind and pen to simplicity. There is no ancient and modern reason. Wang Xizhi wrote calligraphy in one go, and so did Mr. Li Jing. Because the heart originated in ancient times and has not changed, although it is 1800 years apart, the communication with the heart is barrier-free. Therefore, Wang Xizhi's freedom of mind can easily be naturalized into his mind and pleasure. Writing the essence of calligraphy with heart is not only Mr. Li Jing's artistic pursuit, but also his professional realm!
The spirit of heaven fights for talent, and the book talks with the Buddha. The construction of calligraphy character needs a person's self-cultivation Therefore, Zhao Ziang said that brushwork is easy to practice through the ages, while Liu Gongquan was deliberately silent. Now, Mr. Li Jing is also committed to practicing the virtue cultivation of sages. He is not only a practitioner of calligraphy and painting, but also an honest Confucian businessman in the art market of calligraphy and painting. As an expert in calligraphy and painting identification, he not only distinguishes authenticity by his profession, but also helps his collection with his conscience. He founded Guobaozhai, preferring not to make money and not to sell fakes. Conscience in the industry, such as the tower of virtue and art, shines on the eternal journey of painting and calligraphy!
