At that time, Zhu Jinhua's calligraphy village was already famous. The unit and the township government go in and out of a courtyard gate, and blackboard newspapers, slogans, wall newspapers, couplets, writing wax boards and other broken work related to writing are all packaged. Working during the day, practicing copybooks and writing diaries under kerosene lamps at night. In a blink of an eye, people came to write Spring Festival couplets in an endless stream. Before the holiday, they were busy working during the day and busy at night. After the holiday, they wrote day and night and continued to stay up all night until their eyes were black and scarlet. From the first day of the twelfth lunar month to the firecrackers in the neighborhood, they still spend a lot of time eating New Year's Eve dinner. Fortunately, my father has survived, and my mother doesn't expect to go back to the house to help with housework, nor has she been complained by her family.
Year after year. In Zhu Jinhua's concept, the twelfth lunar month is short and long, day and night. People provide free paper for practicing calligraphy to help villagers do something. It is really the best of both worlds.
But the words of fellow villagers really chilled Zhu Jinhua for a long time. It was the New Year's Eve of 199 1, and snowflakes were floating in the low sky. My wife, waiting to go home for the New Year, walked seven or eight miles along the muddy mountain road and came to his unit. When she saw a group of people gathered at the door, she rushed into the room and shouted, "Do you want to go home?" Everyone is eating New Year's Eve at the gate, waiting for the couplets to be posted in the house. The old man is crazy at home, so you hope everything will be all right here. "Zhu Jinhua mouth motioned those people outside haven't written on the wheel. The wife said impatiently, "Some people are really literate. There are so many people who can write a pair. Why does it have to be crowded here? "A man nicknamed" Rib Fan "and famous for his hurtful words said," What's the value of just a few words! " The wife choked there and said nothing. It was not until the lights of the family near the unit were lit by firecrackers that the husband sent away the last person who asked to write couplets and hurried back.
Zhu Jinhua also heard it, and he was very upset. Farmers only know the hardships of digging, chopping wood and picking excrement, but they don't know the hardships of reading and copying at night. But on second thought, these villagers not only take advantage of writing couplets for free, but also don't need to wear reading glasses with a book like the gentlemen in the village who know how to write incense. Please go home to eat, drink and vomit, and wait all day, that is, write a "heaven and earth" and add a couplet. Write here, take it home and post it in the middle of the hall, as a memorial to the ancestors in the class, and don't even charge a cigarette. Zhu Jinhua snickered in his mind.
Zhu Jinhua knows very well that writing couplets and incense is writing, and the strokes are smooth and powerful, which is liked by the general public. It can't be called calligraphy without rising to the artistic level. He practiced his basic skills hard, drew nutrition from the law posts, and looked for posts suitable for his practice in the handed down classics. He visited famous artists again and went to Zhengzhou to visit Mr. Zhang Hai in 2004. 20 12 please ask Mr. Ru Gui to guide your follow-up work. Mr. Wang said, "the most valuable thing about your work is that it is exquisite." No matter how famous some people are, the vulgarity in that word is innate and vulgar to the bone! " These teachings echoed in Zhu Jinhua's ears all the time, without any slack.
Zhu Jinhua believes that a calligrapher can't practice copybooks all his life, and skilled techniques can only be considered as technical skills, but real calligraphy is not technical work, and good content can only be called real calligraphy art if it is put into practice. Yang Xiong's "Ask Heaven" in the Han Dynasty says, "Books also draw with the heart". He made extensive use of paintings with the same origin as calligraphy, and made in-depth research on literature, music and ancient philology closely related to calligraphy. He has published more than 2,000 calligraphy works in China Collection, China Business Daily, Calligraphy Daily, Shaanxi Daily and xi Evening News. Calligraphy works are collected by government departments such as Himeji City, Japan and Shaanxi Provincial People's Congress Office. She has won many awards in book competitions and exhibitions organized by the Ministry of Culture, China Financial Trade Union and Shaanxi Rangmafu. Thankfully, the works he published, participated in and won prizes are not repeated copies of ancient poems, but mostly self-written poems and songs that describe the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, praise his hometown and inspire people to forge ahead. The characteristics of the works are to learn from others, form their own characteristics, and endow calligraphy with literary connotation.
Mr. Zhu Jinhua is currently a member of China Finance Calligraphy Association, Artists Association, China Prose Society, Shaanxi Calligraphy Association, Writers Association and Flower and Bird Painting Research Association, vice president of Shangluo Branch of Chang 'an Painting and Calligraphy Research Institute, and vice president of Shangluo Poetry Society and Writing Society. However, he never regarded himself as a calligrapher and writer, thinking that he was just a lover of literature and painting. A few years ago, a friend said enviously to Zhu Jinhua, "You are amazing, you have become a' home'!" Zhu Jinhua replied humorously: "Yes, I have a pair of children and have been married for several years."
Be fond of painting and calligraphy. Zhu Jinhua, who knows his destiny, takes Lin Tie as his daily class, and his calligraphy is getting more and more refined, so there is a market for calligraphy. At the end of the year, I still don't forget to buy a few knives of red paper, cook a few overnight stickers and add ink to my relatives, friends, colleagues and neighbors. In the street, every time he sees the couplets printed in a mold on the shop door, he is not happy. In his eyes, China's national treasure calligraphy is combined with traditional cultural couplets, and only when the Chinese New Year is over will it taste like the Chinese New Year.
