Calligraphy attainments
The naming of horse calligraphy was once a hot topic in the calligraphy art circle. Some people call it horse body, some people call it Yong'an body, because it looks like a willow leaf and a bamboo leaf, and some people call it a willow leaf body and a bamboo leaf body. Mr. Wang Xie, the editor-in-chief of "Modern Calligraphy", and the Art Committee of the Chinese Calligraphy Xintiandi Research Center named it "Ma's Calligraphy". Later, after naming and discussing, based on the characteristics of historical calligraphy naming, it was decided to name Ma Rongan's calligraphy "Ma Style Calligraphy", basically following the formulation in "Modern Calligraphy".
The art of horse-style calligraphy combines cursive, official, seal and regular script into one body. It has distinctive Ma Rongan’s personality characteristics in stipple painting, brushwork and structure. In traditional calligraphy, the pen is inserted to hide the edge, and the pen is withdrawn to return to the edge. In horse-style calligraphy, when you enter the pen, the coiled hook is like gold, and the edge is exposed; when you close the pen, you are full of energy and the edge is like a sword. In terms of pen movement, traditional calligraphy pauses when folding the pen, while horse-style calligraphy keeps turning. Therefore, the former has more square strokes and more side strokes, while the latter has more round strokes and more center strokes. In terms of structure and momentum, it is very different from the traditional calligraphy style. Horse calligraphy can be divided into five styles, or all styles can be used together. Traditional calligraphy is low on the left and high on the right, going against the trend, while horse calligraphy is high on the left and low on the right, following the trend. This is why viewing horse calligraphy can relieve depression, be transparent and refreshing, and give people excitement and pleasure. Mi Fu, the great calligrapher of the Song Dynasty, said that "those who are good at calligraphy can have enough strokes", so there is such a description of famous contemporary calligraphers: "The horse body is like a pole, Shu Tong is in a circle, and Liu Bingsen is bricks. ". As for Ma calligraphy, whether it is dot painting or brushstrokes, or composition, all of them are Ma's unique inventions and patents. Mr. Miao Hong, a calligrapher, said: What exactly did Ma Rongan discover and how high is it? Because we are of the same era and our distance is too close, we cannot yet see his greatness. When our descendants leave, we will have When they are at a certain distance, they will realize what an amazing mountain stands in front of them! However, this is an indisputable fact.
Of course, Mr. Ma Rongan and Ma Ti Calligraphy will still encounter many problems, but we also believe that our world will be bright. Wind and rain will come again, but the existence of the blue sky will always remain unchanged!
