She studied calligraphy very early and received good regular script training when she was young. During the "Cultural Revolution", because there was a strong atmosphere of writing big-character posters in society, people who wrote good Chinese characters would be regarded as cultural people and respected by people, which should be said to have played a certain role in her learning calligraphy. She is not qualified to write at work, but she can read and post at home. The calligraphy environment in Henan has created a good atmosphere for her to learn calligraphy and join the calligraphy circle, and also provided various conditions. She dabbled in a wide range and made great efforts in real cursive writing. She has been a member of Henan Calligraphers Association for a long time, held many leading positions in calligraphy and painting groups, and participated in many important exhibitions. She is one of the important figures in women's calligraphy in Henan Province. She involves a variety of calligraphy styles, among which seal script is the best, especially Xiao seal script, which has standardized characters, accurate structure and refreshing pen, and is also quite excellent in the current seal script team. She has created a large number of works with various forms and styles, but she has always wanted to write more weighty masterpieces, or her representative works. This strong and rich creative emotion has made her restless in the past two or three years, and the desire to "read" has gripped her tightly. Long-term immersion in a career will bring creative inspiration to people. Finally, one day, she suddenly thought of her favorite poem A Dream of Red Mansions, which she wanted to reproduce in the form of calligraphy. It would be faster to write in cursive and other fonts, but she overcame the difficulties. She chose seal script, and it is seal script, which no one has done before. This desire that makes her heart throb has brought her great creative passion. In the face of this attractive art project, the first thing she did was not to raise a brush to write, but to make the seal script of every word in all poems legal, which is the most important basis for writing seal script. So, from the first poem of The Stone Man to the last poem of A Dream of Red Mansions, there were more than 240 poems, 15000 words, and she searched word by word from the reference books. It took her several months to consult more than 65,438+00 reference books, such as China Calligraphy Dictionary, Shuowen Dictionary, Kangxi Dictionary, Calligraphy Word Sea, Chinese Dictionary, Zhuan, Zhuan Tong Jian, etc. Except for the source of two words, others were found out. This kind of effort and function is that the calligraphy and philology circles especially emphasize that the structure of a word should be "from the source". Where a word has different writing methods, she has found out various structures to avoid repeated writing. We can imagine that this is a preliminary project that needs great efforts to complete. She folded into a long grid with 7 lines on each page and 7 words on each line. Except for the title, the text occupies the whole grid, and the composition is quite uniform. The book has more than 300 pages, which is the perfect combination of literature and calligraphy in our time.
