The old man Baishi is recognized as a master of art in the world. His poems, books, paintings and seals all have high attainments. He commented on his artistic achievements and said, "Yu Shi is the first, printing is the second, writing is the third, and painting is the fourth." An artist who is mainly famous for painting puts his painting achievements at the bottom. Some people find it hard to understand, while others think it is a big lie to deceive the world. In fact, this is also a confession of the hardships of the old man Baishi.
He is the most diligent in painting and has the highest achievement. His poems, seals and characters, in the sense of China's literati painting, are mainly to improve his painting. Baishi, an old craftsman, valued China's poems, seals and characters because he recognized the profound tradition of literati painting. We appreciate the calligraphy art of the old man Baishi, and we should firmly grasp this basic point.
When talking about his own writing, the old man Baishi said, "I want to go my own way. I want to write in my own way." Wang Guowei took "my realm" as "inseparable" in "Ci on Earth", and the old man Baishi's ci reached this realm. From the calligraphy of the old man Baishi, we can feel his true nature and feel the vibrant rhythm.
Some people think that the handwriting of the old man Baishi is domineering, and the meaning of the speaker may be derogatory. In fact, the right path shows a major feature of Baishi's calligraphy. When he wrote "I will do my own thing", he would never be kitsch when there was no one around, and the gloomy masculinity in his chest was naturally revealed in his pen. This is the arrogance of the old man Baishi.
