Li Yong's Artistic Mind

Learners must have a high ideological level. Art develops mind, which determines the nature of calligraphy, and calligraphy is the natural flow of mind. From a deeper point of view, calligraphers need to be detached and self-adaptive, maintain a quiet and ethereal state of life, treat life gains and losses correctly, eliminate the interference and bondage of subjective desires and fame and fortune, and have a pure state of mind. Only by maintaining the virtual state of natural inaction can the book's internal essence be scattered, its mind and spirit be concentrated, its body and mind be full of vitality, its eyes and ears can be heard everywhere, and its spirit is highly full and active. Just as Zhang Huaiguan said in the Tang Dynasty: "Ghosts and gods are parallel, absorbed brilliantly, moved by the spirit, polished elegantly, and showed themselves to the extreme, the fragrance of the pen."

Li Yong (Song) was born in Yingqiu (now Linzi, Shandong). Good at painting, there are three rabbits in peach blossom. Wang Chan Deng Yun said: "Li Yingqiu is famous for his mountains and rivers, ranking first in the Southern Song Dynasty Painting Academy." It means forever.
