The ancients said that calligraphy is the Tao. Although it is a path, there is still a saying. "Tao also, don't leave for the time being. Can be divided, not Tao. " (The Doctrine of the Mean) This "Tao" is the law of the universe, the law of nature, truth and truth are eternal. Therefore, in this sense, all people engaged in the artistic creation of calligraphy and painting should strive to pursue the highest artistic goal, that is, close to "Tao" and "Jing". And what is the classic? This is a tradition. Qi has undoubtedly been walking on this road over the years and has achieved fruitful results.
There is a unanimous view in the circle that his calligraphy is "grounded, inherited, thoughtful and innovative". Ma Yuqing, his good friend and famous painter, commented that his calligraphy has four characteristics: life, clumsiness, strangeness and antiquity. The author has a profound understanding of the antiquity of his calligraphy. Health-it is easy from birth to maturity, but difficult from maturity to birth. Qi Gong Hao is a diligent reader, but never familiar with it. The reason is that he has been innovating and changing, and every work tries to innovate. Clumsy-Lao Tzu said, "great ingenuity and clumsiness" and "clumsiness without carving". Workers are easy to get, but I don't know. Qi Gonghao is like a simple Mu Na, hiding his wisdom in the middle, but he is not delicate. His works are naturally quite boring, and the more clumsy they are, the more elegant they are, as heavy as Huang Zhong and Lu. Weird —— Originated from the arbitrariness and wild use of pen, bold pressure, exaggerated indulgence, and sometimes unexpected long strokes, he wrote a rare momentum in Han Li. Ancient-from its strong seal script brushwork meaning and knot words. Official script comes from seal script, but writing official script is not ancient, and the essence of seal script is not ancient. Its vigorous brushwork and seal cutting make official script simple and elegant.
Painting is expensive. Calligraphy is also expensive. Zhao Mengfu's proposition of China's painting and calligraphy is still the standard of painting and calligraphy. Calligraphy has ancient requirements, even exceeding painting. In my opinion, the reason why Qi's calligraphy can jump out of the current wind is because he pursues the ancient meaning of this kind of calligraphy. Calligraphy can "access" traditional calligraphy books, which is undoubtedly an insurmountable fortress for calligraphers in past dynasties. In other words, this ancient meaning first comes from the study of the brushwork method of those inscriptions recognized in the history of art, followed by the structure and composition. Contemporary calligraphers pay more attention to structure and composition, but seldom study brushwork, because both structure and composition have the characteristics of visual form, and brushwork is often hidden behind vision, which is a rare ancient meaning. The ancient meaning of Qi Lishu is mostly due to the rigidity and simplicity of the pen and the aggregation and dispersion of the structure. The overall style presents a kind of elegant and dignified interest that Laozi said.
If there is any difference in personality between Qi's official script and the exemplary one, it is that Qi's official script absorbs more techniques and brushwork of seal script, and adds lines rich in seal meaning, which makes the words or the whole work full of golden stone and solemn and elegant artistic conception. Sometimes cursive brushwork is added to highlight its free and vivid expression with powerful writing style, increasing its tension and momentum. However, the swallowtail silkworm head of the traditional official script has been evolved into a bamboo slip, which seems simple, but has many subtle changes and implications. The seemingly invisible nature of collection, savoring carefully, collection is the implication of stippling, and release is the transcendence of potential and significance. In his lines with both Fiona Fang and tone sandhi, we can slowly appreciate the ancient meaning of simplicity, massiness and composure, rich in texture and stone rhyme.
