After leaving the military camp in the late 1970s, Li Jianhua's love for calligraphy became obsessed and became out of control. He reads posts every day and seldom publishes poems. As a friend, I am deeply sorry to think of his glory in literary creation, and I have repeatedly urged him bluntly: is it not a waste of time to be confined to pen and ink? If you put this energy into literary creation, why not worry about writing at Li Jianhua's place? He just smiled and didn't explain.
With the passing of youth, friends are more and more confused about the world, but their attitudes towards life are gradually consistent-for example, indulging in mountains and rivers can be regarded as the greatest pleasure of life, while indulging in painting and calligraphy, thinking about it, is physically and mentally happy, without talking about fame and fortune. Li Jianhua has a deep understanding of this, and he put it well in the preface to the Inscription Exhibition of Old Calligraphers in Dongying: "Calligraphy is both art and Tao. If you seek art, you must take it by work; If you get the word, you must understand it with your heart. If you are honest, you can see the Tao. Only when you are calm as water, regardless of fame and fortune, and put aside other thoughts, can you enter a quiet state and experience real opportunities. "
The ancients regarded calligraphy as a matter of literati, but looking at ancient and modern calligraphy, we didn't see who was not knowledgeable and whose calligraphy was famous. So when it comes to calligraphy, most people think that learning comes first, painting comes second and books come third. If you are mediocre in learning and proficient in calligraphy, you are regarded as a calligrapher. Li Jianhua is famous for his poems and obviously belongs to the first literati.
Li Jianhua, as a poet, can't hide his talent, while Li Jianhua, as a calligrapher, can't hide the shock of his works-his regular script is from a tablet, concise and vigorous, with a broad and magnificent structure; Mifei and Wang Duo, which are carefully studied in the grass, are naturally elegant and gradually enter the boundless realm; "Wild Grass" has a continuous brushwork and flying words, which is very artistic; The list is magnificent, lifelike and most inspiring.
Words, as they are, have been mentioned before, which fully proves the poet's temperament; He also said that words are just like people. Only by reading Li Jianhua's calligraphy works can we know that this statement is true. Look at his dripping and carefree calligraphy, just like his magnanimous mind, which has its own shocking power; The most pleasing thing is the vividness between calligraphy and calligraphy, which shows his enduring childlike innocence and open personality charm everywhere.
After studying calligraphy for 30 years, Li Jianhua has a soft spot for Mi Fei and Wang Duo. He said: "Throughout the history of calligraphy in China, Mi Fei and Wang Duo are the two peaks of calligraphy. The difficulty is that it is not only the way of everyone, but also outstanding, so its works are highly respected by future generations. " Although this theory is simple and to the point. Several works published here are Li Jianhua's new works, which are written incisively and vividly, and the composition is full of meteorology, which shows that they are deeply ignorant. What needs to be pointed out in particular is that these works seem to be permeated with the poet's feelings and elegance, both emotionally and in achievements, which can be called pleasing artistic masterpieces.
