Ji Gu is naive, indifferent and bored.
-Tong Qiang is a man and a book.
? Tong Qiang was born in Lixian County, Gansu Province, the birthplace of Qin culture. Vast expanse's northwest yellow land and ancient pre-Qin culture have nourished the naive, elegant and eclectic style of his calligraphy works, with rich colors and light interests. The essence of this interest stems from his dullness, and the ethereal ink image shows the interest of "a piece of ice in a jade pot"
? Everyone's experience will not only leave a mark in the depths of the soul, but also swim to the pen intentionally or unintentionally. Tong Qiangsheng is intelligent, studious and knowledgeable in poetry, literature, history, collection and appreciation, and inherits the integrity, frankness, chivalry and faithfulness of the northwest people. At the beginning of my medical career, I traveled in the mountains and rivers and villages, coming in and out of thousands of households, feeling sick and sick, and my parents were short. After many twists and turns, I became a reporter, often going to the grass roots and fields, and my feet were covered with a simple earthy smell. Calligraphy and writing expressed his truest and most direct understanding of nature, life and times, which enriched his profound understanding of life and art.
? "There is no one who can't learn." Hard work and good thinking are the secrets of Tong Qiang's calligraphy progress. Sticking to his post has become the basic path for him to find himself. His pursuit of calligraphy art has already surpassed life itself. After a long career, I have a hard time making a living, and I am obsessed with art. I have been studying in the capital of the Central Plains for a long time and have become attached to the flower hall. When I first met Beijing, its appearance was not good, but the simplicity, innocence, sparseness and ethereal of its works made me shine. From then on, I wandered in the black-and-white world, began to describe the truth contained in ancient posts in the lightness and heaviness of stippling, appreciated the feelings of the ancients in the collection and release of lines, perceived the comfort of the ancients' thoughts in the change of cloth and white, and gradually faded my book environment and feelings in the dual cultivation of respecting teachers and attaching importance to Taoism. Writing is no longer boring repetition, but becoming spiritual and innovative. As a result, the lotus leaf in the fish play is clumsy, epiphany, clever and within reach!
? Passers-by all know that it is easier said than done. Tong Qiang's artificial books all inherited the enterprising, practical, inclusive and simple nature of pre-Qin culture. His attitude of respecting the ancient times is particularly commendable. His demeanor in Wei and Jin Dynasties and the meaning of Tang and Song Dynasties are all reflected in the little strokes of letters. Corresponding brushwork, lifting pressure, stumbling, twisting, all with wonderful feelings; The word method draws lessons from the previous dynasty, which is volley, simple, quiet and ethereal; Luxurious ink, full of ink color and full of charm; It seems that the colorful atmosphere is still a little immature, and the mixture of various calligraphy techniques and styles in the past dynasties is still immature and needs to be revived. However, it is particularly valuable to sum up the past and bring forth new achievements and attempts. At present, the child is strong and childish, leaning against the door to look back at Wenqingmei; In smart places, willows dance gently with the wind; Sharp and tense feathering disease, like the cultural spirit of the pre-Qin period, has a kind of (jiān jiā) gray, the white dew is soft and boundless, and it is even more "naked?" The generosity and tragic of The Robe with the Son is full of the flying will of life and the true exuberance of life.
? Art is to make things that ordinary people think are boring interesting, and artists give this interest a personality. "Calligraphers are like a scholar, like a talent, like an ambition, like a person." Young Tong Qiang was influenced by the calmness of the ancients because of his study of books. He kept reading and creating, and he also blended into the atmosphere of the times. In his constant practice, creation and cultivation, he gradually showed physical evidence, understanding and exploration of calligraphy art.
? Years of agarwood, flowers bloom fragrant! I look forward to this simple, honest and diligent northern student making new achievements.
