Gengzi restrained his feet but could not restrain his hands1,
The ink of the dancing man is filled with the fragrance of books.
Virtue and high esteem are preached again and again,
Hui Feng Tao Li 2 sings harmoniously.
Lao Qin has a profound knowledge,
His ink is updated every day.
Three descendants of Zhao Yilong,
Four blog posts covering ancient and modern times.
1. During the lockdown in 2020, Teacher Qin wrote 32 calligraphy works.
2. Teacher Qin has been teaching at the City University for the Elderly for 30 years and has many talents. Some students have held solo exhibitions, and some are excellent in calligraphy, poetry, and seal calligraphy... Judging from our class, those with no basic knowledge have basically mastered the basic methods of learning calligraphy after three months of study.
3. Teacher Qin is from Gansu, and is from the same hometown as Zhao Yi, a native of the Eastern Han Dynasty who is known as the author of China's first calligraphy theory "Non-Cursive Script".
4. Teacher Qin’s character is Bowen.
The above is what I felt after seeing the video of Mr. Qi Gong pushed by Teacher Qin. Teacher Qin and Mr. Qigong both graduated from Beijing Normal University. They have some of the qualities of the older generation of scholars, and they are both knowledgeable and humane! From his teaching and educating people, we can see the school motto of "learning to be a teacher and setting an example", and he kept writing. During the lockdown in 2020, he wrote more than 30 books, which were bound into albums, including the Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties. The works of many calligraphers and critics of the dynasty include Mao's poems, both in regular script and cursive. He is not only diligent in writing and preaching, but also in his spare time from time to time uploads and shares videos about calligraphy to the elderly university classes. Whenever students ask for advice, he takes the trouble to answer; students’ homework is sent to him through WeChat, and he will carefully comment, give advice, and encourage him to work hard. He is worthy of being a master of Beijing Normal University!
