Why is Li Zhimin's "Lian Gan Bi" a stunt, filling the gap in the history of weeds in the 20th century?

As a senior professor at Peking University, Li Zhimin took the road of "pure grass" and rarely mixed with running script. He not only took the lead in putting forward the proposition of "drawing a monument into the grass", but also consciously explored it, and naturally embedded Fang Bi, the hero of the North Monument, and the pen that opened the circle into the creation of Weeds, so he can't be said to be a real master of Weeds. It is because of him that the contemporary history of weeds no longer becomes pale. It is no exaggeration to say that Li Zhimin is a calligrapher who "fills the gap in the history of weeds in the 20th century".

One of Li Zhimin's great contributions is that he creatively developed the technique of "Lian Gan Bi" on the basis of previous calligraphers' techniques and pushed it to the highest level. His dry pen is not scattered, continuous and weak in the constant rotation of the center, which can be described as "stunt" and is remarkable in the history of contemporary calligraphy. At the same time, there is another style of his wild grass, that is, "loose body", which can be described as "point" walking, and each line segment has the trend of "shrinking lines and changing points", just like the dance of points. This kind of cursive script is unique and groundbreaking in the history of cursive script in China. At the beginning of his monograph "On Grass-Crazy Grass in Sanchuntang", he pointed out: "Enter the pool, think rationally, take things, enter the heart, realize the image, and then enter the beauty of cursive script." This may be the secret of his exploration of the highest realm of weeds.
