At that time, Xuanyuan Huangdi unified China, and the wars among tribes finally subsided. But Xuanyuan Huangdi knew that their hearts were still full of the passion of war, and this heart would not calm down immediately. If everyone's heart can't be calm and harmonious, the Chinese nation may not be harmonious. Therefore, Emperor Xuanyuan used four things, which are the representatives of China traditional culture-Qin, Qin, calligraphy and painting.
Headed by Qin, Xuanyuan Huangdi used Qin to adjust his mentality. Because the sound of the piano is the interaction between one's inner superiority and outer superiority, we can use the piano to adjust the inner peace and harmony. Next, Tai Chi gave birth to a second musical instrument, which is Weiqi. Chess pieces are black and white, which is different from chess. You can learn a win-win situation through Go and become tolerant with a win-win thinking mode. Then the second instrument gives birth to four images, which are calligraphy. Calligraphy needs paper, ink, pen and water. You must reconcile these four things very properly in order to write a good hand with ease. Through calligraphy, people can give consideration to several aspects when dealing with problems, and then reconcile them to the most appropriate degree. These four aspects, together with the internal balance, are the operation of the five elements. Finally, the four elephants give birth to gossip. Although there are eight aspects, it is the operation of Jiugong to balance the heart in the middle. Therefore, emperors, generals, literati and private schools in China all learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting from an early age, and used it as a tool for self-cultivation and a dynamic model for learning how to balance the golden mean, with only one purpose, that is, how to cultivate one's self-cultivation and cultivate one's morality and rule the country. Calligraphy has become one of the traditional root cultures in China, which contains the Yijing philosophy and Taoist culture, and has become a cultural tradition handed down from generation to generation by the Chinese nation and must be learned by everyone.
When the long river of history reached the 1940s, it was fixed in a small mountain village in Jiaocheng County, Shanxi Province on the Loess Plateau. There is a 6-year-old boy writing calligraphy. He is Ma Baoshan.
Ma Baoshan learned calligraphy at the age of 6, which originated from an accidental fate. At the end of the year, my father went to Taiyuan to purchase new year goods. An old man who lives on the street in Lu Yu is named Li. He took it back to the village to teach Baoshan and two or three children in the village to read. The old gentleman can not only teach children to recite the three-character classics, the four books and the five classics, but also write beautiful calligraphy. Baoshan remembers that when he began to practice copying Chinese characters, he made grids with raw yellow paper, one for each character. The earliest spelling was "Go to Erlianli, four or five households along the village. There are six or seven pavilions with 90 flowers. " Imitate every day, one a day. Later, I realized that the imitation was Gong Liu's regular script. This laid the foundation for his calligraphy enlightenment. Spring, summer, autumn and winter, the sun and the moon shuttle. Baoshan lays paper for typing and polishes it with a pen every day, one word at a time, one article a day. It took six years to write it, and he developed a beautiful brushwork with rich skills. /kloc-at the age of 0/2, he became a famous little calligrapher in the village. On holidays, neighbors come to him to write couplets and put them on every household.
Baoshan studied calligraphy when he was young and became a book when he was young. Although I don't know easy to learn and Taoism, I unconsciously learned the five elements of paper, ink, pen and water in the process of imitating Chinese characters, and learned the communication between heart and nature. The pen follows my heart, the spirit is meaningful, the nature and man are one, and the things are forgotten by me. It is a kind of enjoyment, a kind of feeling, success in elegance and tranquility, and flying in freedom.
Calligraphy has roots. Chinese character culture rooted in China, through the form of calligraphy, embodies the unique and profound inner artistic charm of Chinese characters. Chinese characters have souls, rooted in the traditional culture of China, and the source and soul of China's traditional culture is the Book of Changes.
It is not so much Ma Baoshan and calligraphy as Ma Baoshan and Yi Xue. As good as running water, easy learning is the foundation. Baoshan's experience from the enlightenment of children's calligraphy to the achievements of children's calligraphy began to realize a kind of inner harmony, a reflection on people's ultimate concern, and a foundation for inner peace, human recovery and a kind home. This is the basis of calligraphy, which was created after the event.
