At the Guardian auction in China, Wei Wu, a calligrapher of bamboo silk who came out of Shenzhen and the president of Beijing Bamboo Silk Calligraphy Research Institute, took a four-foot-long bamboo silk calligraphy work "Zhu Chunri" for 92,000 yuan, and the price per foot reached a new high.
The reason why Wu's silk calligraphy is concerned and recognized by the market lies in the artistry, innovation and standardization of his works. In the past thirty years, Wu Wei has carefully identified, analyzed and compared the evolution of characters from the source, carefully pondered the artistic characteristics of bamboo slips and silk books unearthed in different regions, and even sought inspiration from the structure of contemporary excellent calligraphy by reading a large number of historical materials, from Oracle Bone Inscriptions, bronze inscriptions in the Western Zhou Dynasty, seal script in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, seal script in the Xiao Dynasty, official script in the Qin Dynasty, bamboo slips and silk in the Western Han Dynasty to official script in the Eastern Han Dynasty. After a long period of research, on the basis of retaining the original style of bamboo and silk calligraphy, the vigorous and simple calligraphy style of bamboo and silk calligraphy is innovated and standardized.
Wu Wei's research and innovation on the method of bamboo and silk calligraphy has now been restored to 8200 words. Wu Wei studied the characters of bamboo and silk seriously, standardized the writing methods of ancient Chinese bamboo and silk characters, and also studied and sublimated the aesthetic value of ancient Chinese bamboo and silk characters, so that the ancient Chinese bamboo and silk characters not only contained the frankness and simplicity of bronze inscriptions, but also included the Gu Zhuo curve of Da Zhuan, and also included the elegance and agility of Xiao Zhuan, which raised the calligraphy method of bamboo and silk from an easy-to-communicate calligraphy to a higher level.
