1, preface
Many famous calligraphers in ancient China were literary masters. Without a certain accumulation of literature, their calligraphy works can not be recognized by the society, and even evaluated as classic works. As a creator of calligraphy, we should constantly strengthen our own literary accomplishment. If calligraphers only pay attention to writing, it is difficult to create high-level calligraphy works.
2. The basic literary accomplishment of calligraphy creation.
The essence of calligraphy creation mainly lies in external form and internal value. External form refers to the skills and rules adopted in calligraphy creation, and internal value refers to the expression of feelings by the creator in calligraphy works. The more thoroughly the creator understands the content of the work, the more he can highlight the intrinsic value of the work and leave a deep impression on the audience.
Writing is essentially writing cultivation, which has been recognized by many famous calligraphers. Many excellent calligraphy works handed down to this day are deeply impressed by the literary accomplishment of the predecessors. Many ancient literati were not only calligraphers, but also writers. Classical sentences sung in ancient and modern times are everywhere in calligraphy works, and the philosophy contained in them has become an important content symbolizing the spirit of the Chinese nation. All the works are integrated with literary accomplishment, calligraphy skills and rules, and unique views on things, enriching the feelings of calligraphy works. If calligraphers only write and don't pay attention to improving their literary accomplishment, their calligraphy works will hardly gain popularity.
In calligraphy creation, literary accomplishment is an indispensable factor. The use of classic literary works can improve the artistic status of calligraphers' creation. The more books you read, the more natural your temperament will be, and it will also be reflected in your calligraphy works. Any famous calligrapher can't create natural classics without the accumulation of literature. In addition, because the creator has a high literary accomplishment, the calligraphy creator has more feelings about the lost talent. When he has inspiration, he should seize it in time and show it in his works. Therefore, the significance of cultural literacy in calligraphy creation is very prominent. Without long-term accumulation, it is difficult to create excellent works.
Reading classic literary works can be used to cultivate literary literacy and also play an important role in improving personal aesthetic level. If the classic literary works read reach a certain level, the aesthetic ability can be improved in calligraphy creation, and then the intrinsic value in calligraphy works can be improved, so that it has more rich feelings and humanistic atmosphere. Ordinary people usually don't pay attention to the beautiful scenery around them, but in the eyes of literati, they will stimulate creative inspiration and make it an important source of calligraphy creation.
3. Calligraphy creation intuitively embodies literary accomplishment.
Line is a common carrier in calligraphy. Using the beauty of Chinese character stippling can fully show the inner feelings and literary accomplishment of the creator, while literary accomplishment and emotion can improve the imagination of the creator and make it produce completely different styles in different moods. "The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the wind is sunny" is a classic sentence in Wang Xizhi's Preface to the Lanting Pavilion, which also shows its free and easy and peaceful writing style. Many famous sentences of Li Bai have been handed down to this day, and calligraphy has been well received by the society. Poetry is contained in calligraphy, reaching the realm of "there are books in poetry and poems in books". The combination of poetry and books makes its elegant style more obvious.
As the leader of the "Eight Masters in Tang and Song Dynasties", Han Yu attached great importance to emotion and inner cultivation in his works, and put forward that the important role of lyricism is unparalleled, which is consistent with the view that "injustice is the voice" and has profoundly influenced the calligraphy and literary creation of later generations.
4. The key to literary achievement lies in Xiu De.
It was Xiu De who emphasized in ancient times that "learners should establish lofty virtues". Throughout the ages, famous calligraphers have paid more attention to character than books. In the Qing Dynasty, Jiang Heng wrote in his book "An Inscription and Postscript Book of Zhuo Cuntang": "The rest of the books begin with words and reading, and are based on it." A creator with noble moral character can reveal a clean, upright and elegant style in his paintings and calligraphy works; The creators with low moral character, although their works are frustrated and passionate, also reveal the style of vertical and horizontal violence, so their works are difficult to remain immortal. Li Shimin once pointed out that for the creation of works, the creator's spirit is like the soul. "Without harmony between gods, words have no state", which is a true portrayal of this thought. He advocates that calligraphy creation needs the maturity of the creator's mind and virtue in order to achieve the expected creative goal, just as Ouyang Xiu put forward that "only sages can survive, without Tessa's writing ability." Hao Jing mentioned this point in Lingchuan Collection in Yuan Dynasty. Many calligraphers in ancient times believed that Yan Zhenqing and other famous artists were respected not only for their beautiful artistic conception, but also for their excellent personality. While some people, such as Cai Jing, have made a lot of efforts in the creation of their works, but because of moral problems, it is difficult to get social recognition. Famous calligraphers throughout the ages attached great importance to personal character cultivation and regarded it as an important quality of creators. However, some modern creators don't have a high understanding of this. They mixed a lot of bad motives in the creation of calligraphy works, paid too much attention to utilitarianism, and even regarded the creation of works as an important way to make a name for themselves, which broke away from the original intention of calligraphy creation. It is difficult for such creators to make achievements in calligraphy creation, and they will go astray if they have a certain level in time. Therefore, creators should not only improve their brushwork skills, but also cultivate their inner literary accomplishment.
5. Conclusion
In a word, there is a very close relationship between calligraphy creation and literary accomplishment. Classic calligraphy works mainly lie in the natural transmission of the creator's feelings and show the creator's good literary accomplishment. In daily life, creators should read more literary masterpieces, so that their literary accomplishment and aesthetic ability can be continuously improved and fully displayed in written works. Only in written works can their personal accomplishment be fully displayed.
