on January 16th, 213, I was invited by the Painting and Calligraphy Institute of the Standing Committee of Jiyuan Municipal People's Congress to have an exchange of calligraphy and painting with Mr. Qi Feng, a famous physiognomist and master of Chinese studies, and four calligraphers, namely, Secretary Zhao of Luoyang Agriculture Working Committee, Secretary Meng of Environmental Protection Bureau, Director Lin of Tourism Bureau and Mr. Cheng.
along the way, the smog all over the sky seems to add a mysterious color to this painting and calligraphy exchange, and the looming distant mountains and mountains make me think about this painting and calligraphy exchange between the two cities. After an hour's drive, we came to Jiyuan. We were received by the painter Liu Qingnan, who followed him and came to the ancient and elegant wooden gate house where the "Painting and Calligraphy Institute of the Standing Committee of Jiyuan People's Congress" hung, and today's pen banquet was located in the painting and calligraphy institute.
As soon as we entered the building, we were surrounded by different ink marks, which were vigorous, free and easy, flexible and determined. The works of Yang Xiaoyang, Fan Yang, Jiao Kequn, Huo Chunyang and other contemporary painters and painters were impressive, which made my gloomy mood suddenly enlightened. The arrival of this state of mind, there is no hypocrisy of flattery, no exaggeration, and no false talk of catching the wind. It is really the worship and admiration for Mo Yun, and the flowing water in the deep heart. Only those who really appreciate it can't help it, and then they will look forward to it and pay tribute, and then they will come to life.
I can't wait to get to the front, and the facilities inside make me even more amazed: first, two single-plank books are placed in the shape of "T", and there is a passage between the two tables for easy access. The console table in front of the door is for entertaining friends, and the console table inside is the core of "splashing ink". What is even more amazing is that it is also full of beautiful images of root carvings. Just beside the case of "splashing ink console table", a tree with strong branches stands on it with an eagle about to spread its wings. I think this eagle is not just a root carving, it is a symbol. I silently bowed to the eagle in my mind.
Lift up your eyes, and on the wall opposite to the "splash-ink console table", there is a picture of high mountains and flowing water, and the words "high mountains and flowing water" are inscribed below. It dawned on me that everyone who comes here will be like Zhong Ziqi and Yu Boya, because this is the temple of art, and people who come here are all people who advocate art. What a originality! I have to admire the owners and artists here!
The Pen Club kicked off with warm applause. First of all, Mr. Fan Zhenggang, former director of the Standing Committee of Jiyuan Municipal People's Congress, expressed his feelings for each of us without reservation. See him with an easy grace, have answers, the whole work in one breath, in an instant, reveals the free and easy in the combination of rigidity and softness.
I suddenly remembered the words of Wang Sengqian, a calligraphy theorist in the Southern Dynasties: "The beauty of calligraphy is the best", which tells us that the beauty of calligraphy is the external reflection of qi and the embodiment of the life experience, knowledge and endowment of the calligrapher.
"Good", I couldn't help it. The exclamation attracted everyone's attention. Looking back, it turned out to be a sigh from Secretary Zhao. This exclamation touched everyone's excited nerves, and bursts of heartfelt applause rose spontaneously. This is the call of artists who are closely connected and have a heart-to-heart communication. I was really touched. I really didn't expect that these people's public servants not only contributed their wisdom in their posts, but also had their hard footprints everywhere in the inheritance of the motherland's culture. A sonorous word "good" explains the real meaning of life for us.
Then, as a special guest, Secretary Zhao and his party also exhibited their ink art, only to see them brush away the dragon and snake, leaving their own free ink in an instant. The vigorous and clever brush strokes and ink lines remind me of the magnificence of Longmen stone carvings and the ripples of the Ilo River. Then, Mr. Liu Keqing and Mr. Wang Baogui from Jiyuan City also improvised poems with their own unique styles-running script and cursive script. I see things in a blur, and I really want to be the ink soul under the pen tip, wandering in the thoughts of these calligraphers, and it's beautiful once.
at last, Mr. Qu's finale saw that he was calm and upright, and his pen and ink were vigorous and elegant wherever he went.
The people present enjoyed the calligraphy works full of ink fragrance amid the constant cheers, and gave bursts of applause for this pen and ink event in both places! Suddenly, I'm a little curious. How did such a pen and ink event win a place in this tide of materialism and no faith? Why did the Painting and Calligraphy Institute of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, the organizer of this pen meeting, specially invite the leaders of some bureaus in Luoyang City, which is close by a strip of water, to Jiyuan for painting and calligraphy exchange? I visited Mr. Qu Shushu with this question.
Mr. Qu Shushu gladly accepted my interview. He first talked about his thoughts and practices from the implementation of the measures of Jiyuan Municipal Committee to revitalize the city by culture, and introduced the care and support of Mr. Xue Xingguo, the current director of the National People's Congress, for Jiyuan's painting and calligraphy cause for many years. He also listed the efforts made by Ren Fan Zhenggang, the former director of the National People's Congress and honorary president of the Painting and Calligraphy Institute of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, to prosper Jiyuan's painting and calligraphy cause, and then he talked about the specific work in the painting institute and his own aspirations in painting and calligraphy. I had high hopes for Secretary Zhao's trip to Jiyuan. On behalf of the Academy of Painting, I expressed my great appreciation and gratitude to Secretary Zhao for their exquisite calligraphy display!
In order to have a more comprehensive understanding of Mr. Qu, I carefully looked through his calligraphy collection and read his poem "Reading Heaven's Love", and learned the reason why Mr. Qu did not sign up as a "leisure landlord". Mr. Qu was born in the source of water, Pei Xiu's hometown, and was fond of graffiti when he was young. When he was a student, he preferred to write essays. Since he was young, he has been a soldier and a politician for decades. Every time he meets leisure, he swims between luxury and ink, making the finishing touch of poetry and painting. Now, although he doesn't hang up on business, he chooses the road to sit opposite Yantian, expressing the clear Mo Yun and irrigating the clear heart. At the time of last year, Jiyuan Municipal People's Congress Standing Committee Painting and Calligraphy Institute was established, and Mr. Qu became the dean of the painting and calligraphy institute. Since then, Mr. Wang and the artists who worked with him have been colorful and interesting in this newly reclaimed Yuan Ye. The Painting and Calligraphy Institute not only invites domestic famous artists to teach and paint here, but also provides a platform for foreign painters and painters to communicate with each other, and also provides a platform for Jiyuan painters and enthusiasts to learn from each other. Since its establishment one year ago, the Painting and Calligraphy Institute has successively held the joint exhibition and exchange meeting of Beijing-Henan painting and calligraphy artists' works, the biennial exhibition of Jing Hao Cup Chinese painting works, and a number of excellent exhibitions of domestic famous artists and painters in this city, which can be described as remarkable achievements. In March this year, an exhibition of Liu Keqing's calligraphy works will be held soon. Suddenly, I admire my husband.
A "unique" pen and ink feast ended in a cheerful atmosphere, but our restless hearts could not be calm. Everyone had the same idea and asked for Mo Yun. I simply threw away my elegance and opened my mouth to all the teachers. Unexpectedly, they were not stingy, and an activity of giving away Mo Yun began again. I think these artists are so modest and diligent that I should learn from them, so I asked Director Fan for the impromptu poems of Mr. Liu and Mr. Wang. So what should Dean Qu want here? I have been brewing for a moment, and it occurred to me that Dean Qu is the dean and the organizer of the Pen Club. He represents the famous artists in Jiyuan and I represent the art lovers in Luoyang, and it is necessary to leave a meaningful original. Didn't our visit and their gift cater to the interest of "Ji Luo Shu Ying"? I just spit out my mind, and I saw that Mr. Qu's pen had been written in writing between the beginning and the end.
Dear friends, when you work hard for a week and are tired of words and numbers; When you travel a long way and are tired; When you cross the ocean and feel strange and lonely; What kind of feeling would you feel if you presented a picture of Mo Yun in front of your eyes? Surprise? Are you relaxed or happy? This is the charm of art, and this is the aggressiveness of art masters.
Thanks to Secretary Zhao and his party for giving us the opportunity to watch this painting and calligraphy pageant, Director Fan, Dean Qu of the Painting and Calligraphy Institute of Jiyuan Municipal People's Congress Standing Committee and his colleagues for their kind invitation and gift, and Mo Yun, the calligrapher of this pen meeting, for bringing us friendship and pleasure!
