Liu Xizai·Summary of the Book
The sage wrote "Yi" and set up seal script to complete it. Yi, innate, is the basis of writing: seal script, acquired, is the purpose of writing.
The formality of the calligraphy comes from the seal script, just like the subtlety of the sound comes from the palace. Therefore, the strength of the seal script is long, while the force of the official script is short and dangerous, which is the debate between the movement of the pen and the effort of the pen. The formal script is kept quiet to coordinate with movement, while the cursive script is kept in motion to coordinate with stillness.
Books should have both yin and yang. Generally speaking, being calm and depressed is Yin; being extraordinary and bold is Yang.
High rhyme, deep emotion, firmness and majesty, neither one of them can make a book complete.
Strange rocks are ugly and beautiful, and when they are extremely ugly, they are extremely beautiful. In the word "ugly", the words "Qiu He" are not easy to describe.
Those who learn to read begin with the desire to work without working, and then continue with the pursuit of work without working. Those who do not work are the ultimate in work.
A calligrapher is still familiar with his calligraphy, and familiarity has different levels of fineness, roughness, and depth. Regular script can be made from raw to familiar. Maturity is precious because the world is so light and vulgar and easy to accept, but true maturity is lost.
The seal script is gentle and clear, and the southern script is similar to it; the official script is precise and dense, and the northern stele is similar to it.
The northern script is better than the other by its bones, and the southern script is better by its rhyme. However, the north has the rhyme of the north, and the south has the bones of the south. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty said about writing: "Everything I do, I first make my intention, so that the result can be achieved." Yu Shinan wrote "Bi Mui", one of which is "Bian Zhu". Although the cover book emphasizes the method, the intention is the place of the method. Also ordered.
Dongpo commented on Wu Daozi's paintings that "the new ones are boiled in the law, and the wonderful principles are expressed in the bold and unrestrained." When it comes to books, it only emphasizes the legal and bold, but does not have new ideas and wonderful principles. It is the end. .
His calligraphy has more methods than meaning; cursive writing has more meaning than law. Therefore, those who are not good at talking about grass will harm each other with their mind and Dharma, and those who are good at talking about grass will have their mind and Dharma harming each other.
Liu Xizai said in "Yi Gui. Shu Gui": "Books are like Ye. Like their learning, like their talents, like their ambitions. In short, they are just like their people." Knowledge, talents, ambitions and interests constitute the building blocks of people. The spiritual outlook also established the creative style of a calligrapher. Mr. Qi's calligraphy style is just like his attitude towards life: modest, gentle and diligent. He was originally a physical education teacher. He has practiced Yang style Tai Chi since he was a boy, and then studied Xingyi Bagua. He also had famous teachers who taught him. However, Zuodaoliang Moujing's decades-long sports career has not earned him fame. For this reason, he also explained that he is not the kind of person to "hype and sell." After entering the 1990s, he changed his profession to teach calligraphy. He has a special love for calligraphy. In an era when art has become a commodity, he still "acts by nature" and maintains an "unaware" attitude, content with Be a veritable "Luli calligrapher". It is said that his debut in the book world was due to his participation in a family cultural event. In 1989, in order to raise funds for the renovation of Prince Gong's Mansion in Beijing, calligraphy and painting artists from the four generations of Pu, Yu, Heng and Qi of the Aixinjueluo family donated their works. Mr. Qi, with the encouragement of his elder brother, Mr. Qiyuan, donated two works. This work won applause and was released from the cage. Subsequently, whenever there was a request, Mr. Qi would pay for his works, and his reputation gradually spread to Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and Japan... His creations were increasingly recognized. It can be seen that Mr. Qi's calligraphy creations are always outstanding, which is not unrelated to his high aspirations as a person.
