Cursive script is the highest realm of calligraphy
The art that best embodies the spiritual realm of Chinese philosophy and aesthetics is cursive script, which best displays the artistic realm of Chinese calligraphy. Only cursive writing. Only cursive script truly gets rid of the practicality of calligraphy and becomes a purely aesthetic curvilinear ornamental art.
This aesthetic pursuit of pure line strength, emotional tension and time-space transformation makes the movement of cursive lines contain infinite vitality and spiritual intention, creating a spatialized rhythm between the choice of pen and ink and the rhythm of the soul. The flow of music. In the black and white world of the flying dotted lines and the dusty dots of calligraphy and ink, the calligrapher forgets everything and me, and has the machine in hand. The mystery of the book reaches its extreme here, and the dance of the book becomes a creation of atmospheric circling.
Cursive script brings the expressiveness of Chinese calligraphy to the extreme. It uses the brush to rise and fall, turning breaks into connections. It is completed in one go. It is rich in changes and has a thoroughgoing spirit. It is the most unrestrained and lively among all calligraphy styles. It can best express the calligrapher's emotions and express the spirit of calligraphy. In the black and white world of flying dotted lines and splashing calligraphy, the calligrapher forgets both things and me, turns the machine into his hand, and dances with the lines and ink images, and then becomes an immortal. On the occasion of "Shen Rong Brush" (Sun Guoting's "Shu Pu"), a bald pen swept across the boundless plain white, and all I saw was: "Snakes and snakes are taking their seats, the sound of rain and whirlwind is filling the hall", and the pen is full of excitement. Electric current, the words are like "I am afraid of the dragon walking", "Suddenly there are three or five screams, and thousands of words are written all over the wall." (Huaisu's "Autobiography") In the wild writing and ink writing, the calligrapher achieved spiritual intoxication and artistic conception transcendence. The beauty of calligraphy reaches its peak here, and the dance of calligraphy becomes a creation of atmospheric circling.
The magic of cursive writing lies in conveying the brilliance of the Tao behind the lines. Shao Yi said: "One word requires several meanings." 'Therefore, it is important to think about the past and present, and to reflect on the deep and bold emotions, like the wonders of things flying, submerging, animals, and plants standing in the flow, using the principles of the Eight Dharmas, and using yin and yang to prepare the energy of the four seasons. New theories and unusual forms are naturally lost. ?(Kang Youwei's "Guang Yizhou Double Collection")
?There is a difference between grass and truth. True means that the word has an end and its meaning ends, while grass means that the movement has not been exhausted. Either the smoke gathers and the mist merges, or the electric current stimulates the star stream, with wind bones as the body and change as the function, it is similar to clouds gathering and dispersing, touching and forming; dragons and tigers are powerful, flying and gaining momentum. The rocks and valleys are steep and dangerous, the mountains and rivers are high and deep, and all the matters are included in a variety of ways, all cut into one phase. It may be used to express the ambition of galloping vertically and horizontally, or it may be used to relieve depression. No matter how noble it is, it cannot suppress its height, and no matter how wonderful the calculation is, it cannot reach its power. It is used as a human being, and it is the same as the function of nature; things follow their shapes, and the principles of creation are obtained. No one knows this. You can have a heart-to-heart agreement, but you can't express it in words. Viewing it, it feels like entering a temple to see God, or peering into a bottomless valley. Bend the teeth and claws of ferocious beasts, and force the edge of sharp swords. Only when you look solemn and majestic can you know how subtle the grass is. ?(Zhang Huaiguan's "Book Discussion")
Appreciating the artistic conception of cursive script is to intuitively understand the movement of the mind and the "spatialization of time" of lines. Looking at calligraphy is like looking at a beautiful scenery. You need to delve deeper from its surface to appreciate the spiritual connotation and majesty of calligraphy. Reading books is a heart-to-heart conversation, a dialogue, and a measure of life realm and aesthetic taste. The vulgar see beauty, the elegant see rhyme, but if there is a bit of spirit, there is a bit of stupidity; if there is a bit of elegance, there is a bit of vulgarity. It is smart but not stupid, elegant but not vulgar. It is not because of the external causes and conditions of the pen and ink, but also to do what the pen and ink can do. How can it be known? How great is the Buddhist world, and how great is the demon world.
?(Zhang Zhao's "Inscriptions and Postscripts on Paintings and Calligraphy of Tian Ping Zhai")
Zhang Huaiguan said: ?Therefore, great skill is like clumsiness, and understanding is like ignorance. Overlooking it will be confused with ignorance, and studying it will shock the mind. It's like before, all things are in sight, thunder and lightning rise and fall, time is entangled, there is no explanation but the emotion is investigated, the appearance is rare and invisible, and it changes with the trance, exploring the dark world, Jinshan Yulin, Yin is in it, how can it not be there? , no wonder there is no storage. ? ("Essay on Medicine and Stone")
Observing cursive script is like observing an array. You need to have a wise mind and a clear eye to be able to observe the chapters and see the array and gain something. Kang Youwei said: "The calligraphy of a husband is like a soldier, the mind is like a general, the wrist is the side, the pen is the vanguard, the brush is the leader, and the paper and ink are the tools." The ancient book theory is also like the ancient art of war. The ancient stele resembles the ancient formation map. The one who writes the pen also controls the troops, the one who moves the pen also adjusts the pawns, and the one who writes the pen also chooses the front. ?("Guang Yizhou Double Collection")
Good calligraphy is always a charming "summoning structure", waiting for the appreciator to use its stipples, layout, lines, and The ink color levels are subject to aesthetic judgment. The one that pleases the eyes is considered inferior, the one that pleases the heart is considered top, and the one that pleases the mind is considered top. See the bones from the sinews, see the spirit from the form, know the pen from the ink, and understand the Qi from the lines. The heart and the words are involved, the spirit and the things are wandering, and in the movement, stillness and simplicity of the cursive script, I get the meaning of the darkness and the distance.
In short, the process of creating artistic conception by artists leads to the same destination as philosophers but different paths: the process of creating artistic conception is a process of moving from form to spirit, from objects to understanding, from scenery to state, from emotion to spirit. , the process of spiritual enlightenment and life transcendence from things to knowledge and from heaven. This is a process of changing the limited into the infinite, the moment into eternity, and the real scene into a virtual scene. It is a process of communication between the individual soul and human history. The process of poetry’s intuition, imagination, experience, and enlightenment path to connect with the ontology (heaven, earth, and people). This process has the characteristics of endlessness, uncertainty, and the mutual interdependence of different levels of artistic conception, making the artistic conception of calligraphy a calling structure that is deep, vague, and inexhaustible. It has naturally become the highest state of Chinese calligraphy!
