Mr. Wang Xunmo is a native of Shandong, and there is a world-famous monument of Zheng Wengong in the Northern Wei Dynasty on Tianzhu Mountain in his hometown. Influenced by the profound Qilu culture, he fell in love with the splendid China calligraphy art with a long history since childhood. 1973 after joining the army with a pen, he devoted himself to the study and practice of calligraphy, learning the calligraphy of Yan and Ou, learning the calligraphy of "Two Kings" and "Zhao Mengfu", and also learning the seal script, the key book list. Especially in recent years, Gao Shixiong, a famous calligrapher in Shanghai, has gained face-to-face experience and great progress in calligraphy, and gradually formed his own style of strength, beauty and spirit. His works have won many awards and have been collected by many museums, painting and calligraphy institutes at home and abroad. It is such an accomplished calligrapher that you can easily enter his calligraphy and painting room and see his passion and dance. Mr. Wang Xunmo's writing style is not a hollow reputation, he has his own housekeeping skills. He can hang his wrist with his left hand and help the case with his right hand; You can also hang your wrist with your right hand and help the case with your left hand. You can write Zhang Er's second book, or you can write a detailed seal script. A piece of grass, weeds, pen and ink, vigorous and powerful posture. And "the book list is bold and bold, and Xiao Zhuan seals the heart of the piano" is the most appropriate image summary of his calligraphy art.
Wang Xunmo's calligraphy career can be described as colorful. According to his own words: "When I was a child, I had a soft spot for calligraphy, even to the point of obsession." He first learned to write Spring Festival couplets and gradually embarked on a journey of calligraphy. Mohai has been writing for more than 40 years. I have always insisted on paying equal attention to practicing hard pen and writing brush, and synchronizing military and calligraphy. "
Speaking of Wang Xunmo's way of learning books, he has a so-called "three-order theory" which is valued by many calligraphers, that is, learning books must adhere to three stages. The first stage is "learning extensively, accumulating knowledge and storing wealth". This is an important period for Wang Xunmo to immerse himself in various posts, learn from others, practice his internal skills and lay a solid foundation. The second stage is "learning from the past, cutting the present and cultivating the wind". After decades of hard practice, I absorbed the essence of tradition, collected the bones of Liu's body, facial features, Zhao's style and Wang's body rhyme, and injected the stony spirit of classic inscriptions and the unrestrained agility of folk inscriptions into the bottom of the pen, gradually forming my own artistic style. The third stage is "continue to explore, consolidate and improve". He said frankly: "At present, my calligraphy journey is entering this stage. Because art is endless, I will continue to look for it. After a certain success, I will continue to practice with a normal heart and sail in the ocean of calligraphy. "
As the deputy commander of an air force unit, Wang Xunmo actively supports, encourages and participates in the art study of retired military cadres and officers and soldiers, so as to improve their cultural literacy. Under his initiative, the army held a series of cultural activities such as art training, calligraphy and painting exhibitions for many years, which greatly enriched the cultural life at the grassroots level. Under his example, many cadres and soldiers fell in love with calligraphy. He often invites well-known military and local painters and painters to communicate at the grassroots level, enjoy art feasts with officers and men, and create a number of fine new works.
Facing the reporter's interview, Wang Xunmo said: "More than 40 years of calligraphy practice has made me realize that if I want to make achievements in calligraphy art, I need not only scientific learning methods, long-term research and training, but also a correct calligraphy attitude. What is calligraphy? Calligraphy is a science, which can enrich one's self-cultivation, cultivate one's sentiment and improve the quality of doing things. Calligraphy is an art, which can be pursued as a profession to realize some values of life; Calligraphy is still a product, especially under the condition of market economy, which can be operated as a commodity to obtain certain economic benefits ... The social definition of calligraphy is very broad, but how to understand and grasp it will show different value orientations and life pursuits. "
Wang Xunmo didn't regard calligraphy as a "cash cow" to seek economic benefits just because he was a famous calligrapher. He said: "I have always regarded calligraphy as a hobby. At first, I thought that in addition to cultivating sentiment, I could add some skills and fun to help people do things. Later, in the army, through a large number of writing exercises such as slogans, welcome words and gauntlets, I not only improved my calligraphy level, but also made some contributions to the cultural construction of the army, making my military career more substantial and meaningful. I also regard this as my great gain. As for participating in exhibitions and winning prizes, I rarely' show my face' unless I am asked to participate in' tasks'. In recent years, with the continuous improvement of the level of calligraphy and the expansion of its influence, more and more people seek calligraphy in various ways, but I only recognize one thing, that is, they only communicate and don't sell money, regardless of whether civilians are equal to officials or not, and give whatever they want. It can be said that there are both "scholars" and "Ding Bai" in my studio. Especially fellow villagers and comrades-in-arms asked me to write a word. As long as I can spare some time, I will try my best to satisfy the new couple. I will always adhere to this concept. "
The ancients said that people are as they say, and their words are their voices. It is through calligraphy practice and creation that Mr. Wang Xunmo realized his life ideal.
