The writing of a country or a nation should be a practical symbol for recording things and exchanging ideas. However, Chinese characters can be used as works of art for people to taste, enrich people's interest in life, gain profound connotation from them, and thus reach the most beautiful artistic realm.
Juvenile determination
Mr. Chen, formerly known as his father Chen, is good at six-body calligraphy and enjoys a high reputation in Bozhou. He began to practice calligraphy at the age of three. At the age of six, his calligraphy was praised by the villagers, and some even predicted that Chen Guangzhi would definitely surpass his father in the near future. In the following ten years, I studied under Mr. He, a famous calligrapher in Bozhou at that time, and began to take attachment as a compulsory course. Seeing that he was extremely clever, He asked him to major in Liu Ti calligraphy, and at the same time studied Yan Ti, Ou Ti and other schools, and got a preliminary understanding of the structural rules of Chinese characters. A few years later, Chen Guangzhi's calligraphy was among the best among his classmates, which made Wu Hui very happy. Finally, one day, He Ba called in front of him and wanted to rename it Imitation Five, which means Imitation He.
It is worth mentioning that, in order to commemorate He's inculcation, Chen still keeps a small handwritten book and several academic posts. Every time he browses, he will remind Mr. Chen of his teaching and motivate himself to keep writing.
Pen ploughing without affixing
1950, Chen imitated Wubi to join the army and became a glorious volunteer soldier. 1952 was admitted to Northwest Electric Power Engineering and Technology School for further study. Because the school is close to the forest of steles in An, Chen Yi, who loves calligraphy, goes to the forest of steles to watch when he has time, and then comes back to write according to his own experience. His two-year visit to the monument greatly improved his artistic accomplishment.
Later, Chen was assigned to work in Chengdu, Sichuan, and met Yu, an old calligrapher who was good at it. In order to get the true biography of Yu, Chen often went to Yu's home to study pen and ink and hold paper for him, and watched his brushwork with ink, thus gaining a new understanding of the practice of respecting the law.
197 1 year, Chen transferred back to Bozhou to work, and had a deep contact with the famous calligrapher Mr. Luo. The Yuelu Temple discussed by the two men, the Records of Jianggong's Disaster Relief and Eight Masters' Classics written by Bozhou calligraphers in the Qing Dynasty, and so on, made Chen gain a lot.
1982, Chen was admitted to the Correspondence Department of Tianjin Maolin Painting and Calligraphy Institute, under the personal guidance of Professor Chen Yunjun, and began to study Pan, Mao and Da Guo Ding. Then, Chen copied Wei Bei's Zheng Wengong, Zhang Menglong and Zhang Hei Nvhe's Shimen Fu. In order to study Wei Bei, he went to Penglai three times to try to figure out the charm of 2 1 Wei Bei. However, when copying the Five Classics, Chen absorbed the essence of western art and formed his own artistic style.
Mr. Yan Yu commented on his works in this way: "Imitating the calligraphy of the Five Dynasties has always been based on the Qin and Han Dynasties, Jin and Tang Dynasties, and it is more realistic and innovative. Taking care of his works, his skill is simple and dignified, round and free and easy, elegant and beautiful, and his voice is quiet and lofty. His brush lines are light and beautiful, the ink marks are crystal clear, rich without losing strength, strong without dryness. The rules and regulations are strict and steady, and the words of the lines are patchy and well-organized. Everything is new and colorful. "

Chen has participated in many exhibitions and won prizes in his calligraphy career for more than 40 years. Calligraphy works have been collected by Li Taibai Museum, Huaihai Campaign Memorial Hall, Wenshang Confucius Museum, Wulingyuan Forest of Steles and Huatuo Forest of Steles, and more than 30 works have been exhibited in Hongkong, Macau, Taiwan Province and Singapore. His works are collected in China Contemporary Calligrapher's Ink, China Contemporary Mo You Boutique Exhibition, China Modern Calligrapher's Works, China Contemporary Calligrapher's Biography, China Contemporary Calligrapher Mo Bao, Exhibition Ceremony of World Modern Famous Calligraphers, etc. During the period of 1999, his calligraphy works participated in the "Cross-century China Artists" exhibition held by Beijing Jiuzhou Painting and Calligraphy Institute and won the gold medal. At the beginning of 2000, he was selected into the "National Folk Arts and Crafts Calligraphy Exhibition" organized by the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and won the "Special Gold Award". His biography has been compiled into China Dictionary of Contemporary Calligraphy, Who's Who of Contemporary Artists in China and Who's Who of World Chinese Literature and Art. In 2004, his works were collected by the United Nations and accepted as members of the expert group of UNESCO.
In 2005 1 month, Chen published the first collection of calligraphy works since the founding of the People's Republic of China in Bozhou, and the famous painter Yan Yu personally prefaced it.
Chen's imitation achievements have brought glory to the book world and benefited Xiangzi, but he was not intoxicated in the face of numerous honors and flowers. He said: "Every step I take comes from the nurturing of Huanghuai land with profound cultural heritage, and it is inseparable from the wisdom and encouragement of predecessors and artists.
Romantic Degu-Mr. Zhang Shufan
In September, 20001,the 2nd1Universiade was held in Beijing, China, which was a sports event that attracted worldwide attention. At the grand opening ceremony, I saw two college students walk into the playground from the stands with a huge brush on their shoulders. Just when people were puzzled, a man took this brush weighing more than 80 kilograms and dipped it in thick ink, and wrote a huge "dragon" on the huge silk cloth of 96 square meters snatched by eight armed police soldiers. After a short silence, the stadium was boiling. People all over the world who are watching TV are also deeply shocked! From here, China's ancient calligraphy art went out of China and went to the world.
Who is the writer? Who is the man who built a colorful bridge of cultural exchange with a giant pen like a rafter? He is Mr Zhang Shufan, a famous calligrapher in China.
Mr. Zhang Shufan is a famous contemporary calligraphy artist and an outstanding successor of Zhang Yuzhao Nangongge, a great calligrapher in Qing Dynasty. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Mr. Zhang Shufan, a "Nangong Style" who had just emerged in the calligraphy circle in Beijing, was favored by Mr. Ouyang Zhongshi, who was quite famous at that time. In order to encourage Mr. Zhang, Mr. Ouyang presented the original calligraphy, which strengthened Mr. Zhang's determination to carry forward the Nangong style. Mr. Zhang pays attention to inheriting and respecting tradition in artistic orientation, but he is very cautious in artistic innovation. He often said: Behind me, if future generations see my handwriting and say it is a real "Nangong style", then I will be satisfied. Accordingly, he replaced the increasingly derogatory "innovation" with "exploration". ……
1965 Mr. Zhang graduated from Beijing Arts and Crafts School. In fact, these two years can be said to be a turning point in Mr. Zhang's calligraphy career. Although I majored in painting during my study, the biggest gain was calligraphy, which was inspired and helped by the famous painter Guo Fenghui at that time. Under the guidance of Mr. Guo Fenghui, Mr. Zhang's calligraphy study is really on the right track. At this time, I started with Zhao Ziang's "Three Stories", and learned from it that it was clever and less testimonies, but I soon felt that Zhao Ti was delicate and clever and less testimonies, instead of.
I have felt Zhao Ti's delicate side for a long time, so I went back to the place famous for its strict statutes, and brought two masters, Fayan and Liu. Later, the scriptures written by Tang Dynasty and Han Li and various inscriptions in the Northern Wei Dynasty were used as templates for temporary writing. But as far as today is concerned, besides Zhangpai's Weibei calligraphy, Mr. Zhang Shufan's best word should be Liu Ti, and he himself thinks that he has a unique experience of Liu Ti.
65438-0989 CCTV hosted a lecture on calligraphy techniques, invited Mr. Zhang to give lectures on Weibei techniques and Liu style techniques, and compiled and published relevant materials. 1995, at the invitation of Beijing Publishing House, China's calligraphy technique series "The Technique of Positive Style-Liu Style Calligraphy and Structure" was compiled and published. As we all know, Liu Gongquan's book style is famous for its charm and strength, and its structure is mostly from Yan Shu. However, in the pen, the tendons are removed and the bones are left, and at the same time, European characters are absorbed in some stippling to make it refreshing and healthy, so Yan and Feng are collectively called "Yan Gu". To some extent, the understanding of Liu Zi helped Mr. Zhang learn Zhang Pai's calligraphy. Since then, Mr. Zhang has been interested in He, Deng, Zhao, Kang Youwei, etc. in the Qing Dynasty, but it was not until 1979 that he began to return from Bo. On the basis of a wide range of schools, he specially studied the calligraphy of Zhang Yuzhao, a great calligrapher in the late Qing Dynasty. Since 1982, Mr. Zhang has been active in the calligraphy circle of China with the style of Zhang School (Nangong Style). ……
Mr. Zhang Shufan adheres to tradition meticulously. He studied Zhang Pai's calligraphy, demanding both likeness and similarity. Form and spirit are not only his original intention of learning calligraphy, but also his future pursuit. But adhering to tradition does not mean sticking to the rules and not innovating. Zhang believes that calligraphy is a traditional art form in China. After a long period of development and evolution, although it has been endowed with new factors, its essence has not changed, which is why it is calligraphy rather than anything else. In fact, it is not good to talk about innovation and development. "Personally, I am conservative. I try to avoid using the words "development" or "innovation". Generally speaking, I prefer to use the word' exploration'. " But looking at Mr. Zhang's pen and ink, we can still clearly feel his "exploration" on the basis of inheritance.
Besides Wei Bei, Mr. Zhang also has considerable accomplishments in calligraphy. As early as the early 1960s, Mr. Zhang began to study the calligraphy of Mi Fei and Huang Tingjian in the Song Dynasty, and later involved Su Shi and Cai Xiang. Judging from his book "Bamboo Rhyme is Clear, Beautiful and Beautiful", there are four kinds of charm, all of which have their own characteristics in pen, structure and layout, and it is dangerous to use oblique words and pursue flattening. The same article has changes, naive and natural. In addition, Teacher Zhang learned the Chinese "Shi Chenbei" from the official script, which is beautiful and charming, and Juan is like a virgin.
200 1, 10, in recognition of Mr. Zhang Shufan's contribution to China's calligraphy art, UNESCO specially awarded him the "Akkademi" international artistic professional authority award at Yingjie Exchange Center in Peking University, which is another calligrapher in China after Mr. Shen Peng, chairman of China Calligraphy Association a few years ago.
There is a saying in China that "deserved". For the various honors that followed, Mr. Zhang Shufan
Everyone regards it very lightly, thinking that it is a thing outside the body, which is not conducive to cultivating the mind. Looking through his collected works, most of the couplets and Dou Fang wrote meaningful words of self-cultivation, such as "graceful and elegant, like Pei Wei, gentle and respectful, like Lan Tang", "graceful and lofty, past and present clearly", "don't vote at any time, be complacent", "take cranes as a group" and "cast feelings with calligraphy".
Yuan Hao asked Shi Yun: "A century-old figure is acceptable, but the reputation of the four seas can only be ashamed." Mr Zhang Shufan often encourages himself, and we also pay tribute to Mr Zhang Shufan.
