Qin Libin's Talk on Artistic Record

Qi Xiaochun

I am a person who pursues beauty and perfection. I know this goal is unattainable, even if I can think of it, it is difficult to achieve perfection, but I will never give up, because I also know that as long as I make unremitting efforts, I can keep getting close to perfection.

My artistic concept is to suit both refined and popular tastes, and the tendency of popularization; The pursuit of art is to hide one's soul in nature, express one's spirit in simplicity, be firm and heroic, have high rhyme and deep affection, and finally come down to "righteousness, purity and harmony". My wish is to do my best to create real calligraphy works that people like and the world is looking for.

I've always wanted to combine femininity with masculinity and make beautiful works to show the atmosphere. To do this, we should start from the broad and profound, calm and calm place, and finally form a word "strength" and unify it with a word "rhyme"

Calligraphy art is not only to publicize individuality, but also to pursue superficial peace blindly. Don't be bothered by these superficial things when learning calligraphy. Both orientations are representative good works, but there are also poor works. Surface orientation is not the essence of the problem. What really supports is the rich foundation behind the appearance. What really wins people is the potential energy and transmission power contained in the works.

Taking methods is the key to success, and it is important to meet my potential. Otherwise, you will die under someone else's door wall, living in shape and dying as a ghost.

Learning books should start with classics. Classics have strong vitality, obvious regularity, large packaging capacity and rich wisdom. The best way to learn classics is to understand the words "Tong" and "Tou". Pass, reach, penetrate, understand. If you are approachable and transparent, you can read books and gain true knowledge.

Is there a shortcut to learning books? Yes, it is to take the method from a height, set a goal, start from the ground, focus on imagination and broaden your horizons. The time limit is wide, and the course is tight. Opportunism occasionally makes small achievements, but it can't last and can't succeed in the end. As the saying goes, it is hard for a good person to learn.

There are three essentials in learning books, none of which are indispensable. One must be interested, the other must be persistent, and the third must be diligent in thinking. Interest is the premise and the guide to getting started; Persistence is persistence, which is fundamental; Thinking is enlightenment, which is the key. Practice skills, realize spirituality, and combine practice with enlightenment. You can't generalize, this can be the way to success. As the saying goes, "everything is subtle, and you get enlightenment."

Learning and innovation complement each other. When learning books, you must aim high and work hard. Learning should be substantial, creation should be ethereal, learning is accidental innovation, and innovation is conscious learning. Learning is its foundation and innovation is its use. The combination of the two can be regarded as the principle of books and the way of writing books.

Looking at the artistic style horizontally, the colors are gorgeous and dazzling, and the peaks are harmonious; Looking vertically, ancient and modern times are unified, and all laws are unified. Therefore, if you look horizontally, you can see its flow, and if you look vertically, you can know its source. Looking vertically and horizontally, we can know the whole and the part, the phenomenon and the essence.

Studying ancient and modern classics is nothing more than the words "resolute and heroic, high rhyme and deep affection". Today's people are still ancient, but they are poor all their lives. When this eight-character person is a geometric person?
