In 1995, the "Yangmin Calligraphy, Painting and Seal Engraving Art Exhibition" was held in Changsha. In 2000, the "Yangmin Calligraphy Art Exhibition" was held at the Exhibition Hall of the Chinese Painting Research Institute, and was reported by CCTV and other media. His works are collected by Shaoshan Mao Zedong Memorial Hall, History Museum, Military Museum, Stone Carving Art Museum, Comrade Zhu De’s Former Residence Memorial Hall, etc. His works were presented as gifts to international friends and friendly groups, and he created 34 seal carvings for the Shanghai World Expo's "All Nations Gold and Stone Seals", which were collected by 34 countries and international organizations. He participated in the creation of the set of seals for the Jiazi Blessing of the Ten Thousand Years of Qianlong.
Li Yangmin has been quietly cultivating stone for more than thirty years. Recently, he has become famous. A large print of 14X14 cm is gathered by experts. The famous Oriental White Horse Painting and Calligraphy Academy in Beijing is regarded as a treasure of the town. , placed in a prominent place in the lobby. This seal still belongs to the Han Dynasty. The sword and pen are strong, the sealing style is gentle, and it has a royal atmosphere.
The elephant is invisible, which is a new realm of Li Yangmin’s artistic practice in recent years.
An accidental opportunity brought Yangmin into contact with seal cutting. The collision between the knife and pen and the stone made his heart beat. Thousands of years ago, our ancestors used this method to create and record civilization. He is awe-inspiring and started stone farming by following the footsteps of his ancestors with an extremely pious attitude. The tortoiseshell turtle shells, cliff stele, bells, tripods, and gold and stone seals deeply attracted the sheep people. They rubbed and looked at them day and night, and they actually felt like they had supernatural powers from the ancients. The sheep people were fascinated and interacted with them. Seal cutting has formed an indissoluble bond. His face was ancient and his hands were covered with calluses. Although being a carpenter is a small skill, he is a husband who has no regrets and no complaints.
Yang Minxue had dozens of seal cutting masters, and his seal cutting style was based on the Qin, Fa and Han dynasties. In recent years, the seal world has been seeking changes from the past, and there are many varieties, each showing its own capabilities. Some are too delicate and erratic, and are popular and sluggish; some are grotesque and crude, and end up in the wild. However, the sheep people were obsessed with the Qin and Han Dynasties and have not yet realized it, which eventually became the tone of its simple and simple style. Someone asked the sheep people, can the infatuated mind be enlightened by the current customs? The answer is: It is difficult to realize it. Yang Min copied more than 2,000 ancient seals and finally succeeded. From the soul to the seal production, he experienced the process from raw to mature, from familiar to raw; from confusion to enlightenment, from enlightenment to confusion, and finally found his own trajectory. His success is not so much based on intelligence and diligence as it is on the persistent tenacity in the bones of the northwest man.
But the sheep people are not immutable people. There are no people with great enlightenment in the world. When people have great enlightenment, they have been freed from confusion, and then fell into confusion from liberation. The enlightenment of life, the pursuit of art, the tempering of spirit, and the vicissitudes of time have made the emotions of the sheep people richer and deeper. In the process of creation, they use their emotions single-mindedly and skillfully, and they seem to have realized the true meaning. However, the sheep people also said: "This stone is not another stone. The stones have new meanings, and are different in softness, hardness, and moistness. How can it be as good as everyone wants? Words have interpretations, words have meanings, and different words and sentences have different artistic conceptions. How can it be true? Can the seals and seals have the same rhyme? How can the seals and seals have the same rhymes? How can the swords and swords be the same?
Although the sheep people are obsessed with the Qin and Han Dynasties, they are not indifferent. Instead, they dance the style of the Qin and Han Dynasties in a lively and ever-changing way. Judging from the hundreds of seals created in recent years, the Qin and Han Dynasties The wind is sharp, the Han style is gentle, and the wind of the times is blowing in it, with endless new ideas and colorful colors. Although he has been focusing on strength and vigor for more than 20 years, his printing works are extremely colorful because of his rich quality in printing, ranging from oracle bones, bells and tripods to folk paper-cutting. The quiet one is like a virgin recuperating, the agile one is like a frightened snake entering the grass, the mellow and beautiful one is like thousands of trees in spring, the ferocious one is like a Yaksha knocking on the door, the elegant one is like a beautiful girl from the south of the Yangtze River, and the rough one is like a big man from Guanxi. A set of printed manuscripts of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" reveals the majesty and strictness of the laws. It is governed by justice and tranquility. It is like an arrow leaving the string, moving like thunder, and the fire is in the wind, which is mysterious and unpredictable. A wise ruler and a wise general will never be defeated if he is prepared, and he will attack those who are not prepared and take them by surprise. It's also quite weird. The iron line printing pen is smooth and the lines are strong. The Yinwen seal is bold and magnificent. The side inscriptions are in regular script, official script, seal script, and Chinese bamboo slips, oracle bones, which can be easily picked up and integrated into the wall, complementing the seal.
It is a pleasure to watch the seals of the sheep people. With a stone in hand, the sheep people always look closely at the quality of the stone, secretly understand the printed words, think about it a little, and then use pens and knives to point out the world and inspire the words. In terms of the layout of the plot, the ordinary and strange are interdependent, and the density and density are consistent. The actual part is based on the law, and the empty part hides the spirit. When the sword is pointed at a stone, the stone will be shocked when the sword is thrown away. Some people say that the Yang people used Yang Zhi's knife to engrave the seals, and the flowers danced beautifully, without leaking. Li Kui's ax opens and closes widely, without regard for the future or the future. Either punch or cut, skill and clumsy complement each other.
Sometimes the knife is dancing, and stone chips are flying; sometimes it is like an old ox plowing the field, walking on the ground; looking at the right opportunity, he kills the ax and splits the Huashan Mountain; sometimes it changes the knife into a spear, and goes straight to the Huanglong, which makes you dizzy. Bai Wenyin takes three to five minutes per side, and Zhu Wenyin takes more than 20 minutes per side. There are also people who cannot move the sword for three to five days. At this time, the sheep people always think quietly, think over and over again, and strive to understand the meaning of the words and have magical powers with the stones, and then take action, so that they can achieve perfection.
Sheep people govern their seals according to the fate, the fate of people, the fate of words, and the fate of stones. If the conditions are met, there will be a masterpiece.
Seal cutting is a combination of calligraphy and sculpture. Ma Heng, an epigrapher, said: "The seal text is the first priority, and the sword technique is the second priority. You can't just show off the sword technique and lose the meaning of the pen." Emphasized the importance of calligraphy. In addition to seal cutting, the Yang people studied calligraphy the most, especially seal scripts. They studied "Sanshi Pan", "Shiguwen", "Yuan An Stele", "Shi Chen Stele" and so on day and night, and became familiar with them. Go away, it is said that you have taken its spirit and forgotten its shape. Weird things don't exist in form, so how can gods be attached to them? He said: "The purpose is to let the gods of the past sages possess my pen, and use my spirit to understand the intentions of the sages. The supernatural power makes the form blend, and the form blends the spirit. At this time, calligraphy is in existence."
