Calligraphy art has its own stipulation and is objective. The aesthetic law of calligraphy art is also objective and independent of the calligrapher's will, so the calligrapher can only find it, follow it and not change it. China's calligraphy is based on the development of characters, and each character has its own characteristics, which calligraphers should also respect. We call these writing rules, calligraphy rules and aesthetic rules "law" and "inevitable realm". Calligraphers must understand it, be familiar with it, respect it, and finally master it, and then move towards the "kingdom of freedom" and reach the highest realm of lawlessness.
2. The second realm of calligraphy creation-verve
Wang Sengqian, a native of the Southern Dynasties, said: "The magic of books is the highest, followed by form and quality, both of which can be seen in the ancients." (The Pen of Praise) Zhang Huaiguan also talked about the spirit: "Those who know the depth of the book only look at the look, but not the font." (On Characters) Su Dongpo advocated the creative realm of the unity of spirit, qi, bone, flesh and blood in the Northern Song Dynasty. He advocated: "A book must have God, Qi, bone, flesh and blood, and all of them are indispensable." (On Books) It is not easy to create calligraphy works with spirit and charm. Cai Yong of Han Dynasty pointed out that before creating calligraphy works, we should think calmly, and only by "concentrating on mystery" can we create works that are "all bad". "Uncle Fu, sit still and meditate first, feel at ease, keep silent, concentrate on mystery and be full of fun. If you are supreme, you will be all bad "(on writing). The author once concluded that the key to calligraphy learning and creation is 16, the key to learning calligraphy is "the heart is the top, the eyes are the bottom", and the key to calligraphy creation is "the heart is the top, the hand is the bottom". It mainly emphasizes that whether you study calligraphy or create calligraphy after finishing your studies, you should understand the essence of calligraphy art with your heart and create "all good" works with your heart.
3. The highest realm of calligraphy creation-natural taste.
Most calligraphers in ancient times regarded "natural interest" as the highest realm, and put forward the resounding slogan of "Books value nature". Those who have natural tastes are superior to gods, wonders, abilities, those who have natural tastes, are superior and follow their inclinations. Zhang Tang Yan Yuan said: "After the husband's sex, he loses his mind, after the beauty, he loses his mind, after the beauty, he loses his mind, and after the essence, he loses his essence, and the essence becomes a disease. Natural people are above the top grade, divine products are between the top grades, wonderful products are below the top grade, fine products are above the middle grade, and meticulous products are between the middle grades. " (Notes on Famous Paintings of Past Dynasties) In order to achieve the realm of creating "natural interest" works, we must be meticulous and hard-trained, starting from the "inevitable kingdom" of mastering brushwork and composition, and finally reaching the "free kingdom" without self, invisibility and infinity. This requires calligraphers to study calligraphy with heart from the beginning, to understand calligraphy with heart, to feel with heart, and to attend meetings with heart. Tang said: "The husband's heart is in harmony with qi, and qi is in harmony with the heart; God, the use of the heart; The heart must be quiet. " There are many calligraphers today. If everyone can study, understand and create calligraphy with heart, there will be many high-quality calligraphy works.
