What is the status of Qigong's calligraphy in the history of calligraphy?

Qi Gong is a famous calligrapher in China. His calligraphy was praised by later critics as "the decline of thousands of books" and gave a high evaluation to Mr. Qi Gong's calligraphy. The greatest contribution of Qigong calligraphy is to create a "Qigong style", which is explained as follows:

First, the contribution of calligraphy:

Regarding calligraphy, I once told the painter Liu that his handwriting has no "core". In this regard, Liu's understanding is that this "clarifying the relationship with Qi" can't be said to be a great contribution to China's calligraphy research. Qigong "imitates Zhao Dong first, then Ouyang, and then loves to hang the body". It is customarily "the pen of two kings, and finally becomes its own" Qigong ",which is evaluated by the book circle as" soft outside and rigid inside, natural and free and easy, elegant and charming, gorgeous and incomparable.

Second, about the body:

Mr. Qi Gong is good at calligraphy, which is what we often call "Qi Gong Style". Its font is straight and steep.

Mr. Qi Gong's application of "point", "press" and "lift" has reached a perfect level. Compared with the thickness of strokes and words, the combination of rigidity and softness between words is relatively strong, and the interspersed echoes between words are clever and sometimes interesting. Mr. Qi Gong has always advocated that calligraphy should be "recognized", so it is natural to suit both refined and popular tastes. The vertical pen is straight, the pen is full and steady, and the pen is like a mountain city, but the traditional "broadsword" painting is put aside.

Three. Necessary supplementary explanation:

Qi Gong is not only a famous contemporary painter, but also familiar with language research and ancient calligraphy and painting appraisal, especially the study of inscriptions. In the study of inscriptions, Qi Gong opened up a new research method. Qigong Pinshi said, "Buying bamboo slips is different from returning pearls, and most of the rubbings are calligraphers. What's the use of talking about this? I saw several collectors chanting. " Change the way that famous scholars such as Ye and Weng Fanggang only pay attention to form and not content when studying ancient Chinese characters; I only know calligraphy, but I know a little about its characters.

In addition to exploring new ways in research methods, Qi Gong also made a clear comment on the authenticity of the tablet of Cao E, a dutiful daughter, and decided that the tablet of Cao E handed down from generation to generation was definitely not the original work of Wang Xizhi. During this period, although some scholars raised objections, such as Hong Kong scholar Chen Sheng once wrote an article to research the ink in the silk book "Daughter Tablet" to show his refutation, Qigong strongly refuted Chen's argument with his unique research methods and profound knowledge, and profoundly criticized Chen's statement as "nonsense", which finally enabled the authenticity of "Daughter Tablet" to be verified.
