Mr. Li Qichang's characters experience
Mr. Li Qichang, a famous calligrapher, is a native of Youfang Mountain. He is the owner of Zhiyuan Hall, Hall and Runzhixuan. China contemporary strength calligrapher, chairman of China Calligraphy and Painting Art Federation, vice chairman of China Famous Calligraphy and Painting Network Art Committee, honorary president of China Calligraphy and Painting Art Research Institute, and awarded China as a master of calligraphy and painting by China Chinese and foreign celebrity culture research society.
Mr. Li Qichang loved the art of calligraphy since he was a child and devoted himself to the study of famous calligraphy in Jin and Tang Dynasties. His regular script is both beautiful and European; His running scripts include Wang Xizhi and Dong Qichang. His cursive script integrates the calligraphy thoughts of Wang, Zhang, Huai and Sun, and takes Han tablet as the patriarchal clan system. Extensive study of Zhang, Yiying, Shimen and other historical sites, in-depth study of Qin bamboo slips, Han silk. Therefore, his works combine the simplicity of Han stele with the elegance of bamboo and silk, and try to avoid the disadvantages of plain Han stele and superficial bamboo and silk. The pen is informal, square, and secret. Careful layout, flat and elegant fonts, unpretentious, and occasionally I was surprised to see Nagano's pen. It can be said that his book is innovative and creative, which combines wild interest, dull interest, scattered interest and interest in one furnace. His self-created image calligraphy and concise calligraphy are even more unique, which are deeply loved and collected by calligraphy lovers at home and abroad.
Mr. Qi Chang's pursuit of calligraphy is persistent, starting with inscriptions, being good at calligraphy rhyme and attacking various styles. Mr. Qi Chang's cursive script is a combination of two kings, and the charm of ink is between the simplicity of the emperor and the coolness of snow. His pure brushwork, Qingyuan brushwork, leisurely ancient state and ethereal artistic conception can obviously make people feel his love, specialization and comprehension of cursive script. The cursive works created are clumsy, rough, old and interesting. Mr. Qi Chang used other tablets to win the spirit of the ancients and wrote a magnificent, simple and superhero stone spirit. Such as "sincerity, innocence, responsibility and sharpness", the characters are vertical and have a low center of gravity, and the plane is not divided by lines, which strengthens the contrast between ink blocks and lines, is wide and tight, and has a relatively stable trend. Painting with cursive brushwork, random shape, thus enhancing the bold and vigorous, dignified and subtle, eccentric vertical and horizontal, ups and downs of the charm and temperament. In the use of ink, dry, moist and thick are used together, which enriches the charm of brushwork and enhances the rhythm of danger and ups and downs and the beauty of subtle flow.
Teacher Qi Chang is versatile, focused and fully grasped. From a macro point of view, the orientation and characteristics of his calligraphy can be summarized as follows: elegant and quaint calligraphy, profound foundation, bright and simple style, elegant spirit, neutral beauty, seemingly ordinary, harmonious ability, showing a character of appealing to both refined and popular tastes.
Li Qichang's Calligraphy Creation
Specifically, there are four aspects: first, pay attention to the transportation and tempering of the line. Line is the basic element of calligraphy. In calligraphy creation, the variety of line forms and the clever use of lines are the necessary conditions and key factors for writing calligraphy well. Mr. Chang's calligraphy creation is obviously biased towards tradition, so he is particularly fond of calligraphy lines. He focuses on the exploration of the skills, functions and pen and ink application of lines. In the extension and flow of lines, he completed a kind of mental soliloquy and since the enlightenment. The ancients said: "The pen is used first for the beauty of the husband's three ends (the pen end of the literati, the front end of the warrior and the tongue end of the debater); Six arts are the best, silver hooks are the first "("Wei Shuo Fang Tu ").
Second, disciplines are focused, and seeking change only seeks unity. Mr. Qi Chang acts on the principle of "counting white as black" and "being as sparse as a racehorse and as tight as a whistle". He often avoids vulgarity and strives for survival, avoids weight and seeks lightness, and only pursues the unity of change. He skillfully designs contradictions and creates conflicts in many relationships, such as lightness and heaviness, black and white, positive and negative, virtual and real, looseness and density. "Change, the sky is also", "If the world changes, it will become, and the people's hearts will also change, thus becoming it" (Kang Youwei's Guang Yi Zhou Shuang Talk)
Third, the creative mentality is peaceful and relaxed. At present, various exhibitions are one after another, which makes everyone tired of coping. Moreover, in order to pursue "exhibition effect", people always practice a certain format repeatedly. For many authors, creation is equivalent to "production". Mr. Qi Chang treats his creation with sincerity, normality and normality. Mr. Qi Chang will never create at will, just as Li Zhi said in "Burning Books": "Honesty is childlike innocence, first heart and my heart: if it is childlike innocence, is it sincere? Childlike heart, absolutely false childlike heart, what I thought at first. If you lose your heart, you lose your heart. " If you lose your heart, you lose your real person. "Don't go with the flow. I am the book of my feelings, and this is his creative philosophy. In his works, there are few large-scale works that pursue exhibition effects, and there are no fashionable letters and essays, which is proof. " Books, too. If you want to write a book, let go of your arms, let go of your feelings, and then write "(on Cai Yong's pen). Isn't it a pleasure to be comfortable, conform to nature and get immediate results?
Fourth, the concept of creation is widely accepted. Mr. Qi Chang attaches great importance to tradition, and the inheritance, excavation and creation of tradition has always been the theme of his thinking. But for many other schools, he can not only be tolerant and positive, but also learn from it. In particular, he combined "orthodox calligraphy" found in various inscriptions of past dynasties with a large number of "folk calligraphy" scattered among the people, so that "folk calligraphy" added luster to his "traditional calligraphy", which not only enriched the texture of lines, but also expanded the composition space of rules and regulations. This is also the subtlety of Mr. Qi Chang's calligraphy.
Mr. Qi Chang has his own unique thoughts and opinions on calligraphy creation, that is, he emphasizes rationality, individuality, nature and practicality. He advocated simplicity and naturalness, opposed artificial customs, and resolutely opposed the right to create ignorance as a personality. He believes that calligraphy, as an artistic creation, is a natural and natural process, and should not only pursue simple sensory effects, but also be satisfied with instant inspiration or accidental effects. But to be able to practice hard and move from accident to necessity. He advocates individuality and opposes all people, and thinks that only personalized works are full of vitality. What about art without personality? Artistic individuality is a definition different from others and an artist's goal. In the process of forming artistic personality, apart from hard work and diligence, thinking and enlightenment play an important role, which broadens the horizon and gives people inspiration, encouragement, encouragement and yearning. Therefore, the art of calligraphy should go to the public, to life and to colorful practice.
