At the end of my interview, White Wolf asked me why I didn't ask him what his highest ideal was, and then he replied that his highest ideal was to be the richest calligrapher. Hearing this, I smiled and he laughed with me. I laugh at the free and easy of the white wolf. I really deserve to be a "wolf" with culture and ideals. I'm afraid the white wolf's laughter is conveying an ideal to us, a kind of domineering that a successful man should have, even though there is an indomitable taste in his laughter. This is the White Wolf-a calligrapher who never gives up, has a strong will and is full of domineering. In fact, at this point, I understand why the white wolf chose crazy grass calligraphy. In his view, it is impossible to show his wild, free and open-minded character without wild grass. White Wolf's free and easy and open-minded should also be reflected in others' search for Mo Bao. Anyone who likes him will be satisfied as soon as he opens his mouth. He told me several examples of fans seeking words. One day, he came home late and found a man sitting on the steps outside his house. The man in his forties introduced himself as a calligraphy lover of the White Wolf and came to visit him today. The white wolf happily let him into the house, served tea and poured water, which was very considerate. When saying goodbye, the man wriggled and said that he wanted the white wolf to write him a word, and the white wolf agreed. The man blushed and said, "I have no money." The white wolf smiled and wrote him a picture on the spot and gave it to him generously. A couple called and said that they liked the white wolf's cursive script very much, but their daughter was going to college and had no extra money to buy it. White Wolf immediately sent him two works without saying anything. The couple were very surprised when they received the work and called to express their gratitude ... There were so many such things that the White Wolf never calculated how much he had lost.
There was once an old calligrapher who said that the White Wolf wrote too fast, but the White Wolf disagreed, because in the White Wolf's view, the most important thing in writing was fluency and one-stop writing. Looking at the white wolf's wild grass calligraphy, we have a feeling that its calligraphy is rich in pen and ink, but there is no lack of dripping bones, which is in line with the book theory of the great calligrapher Huang Tingjian: "Fat with bones, thin with flesh". If you look closely, you will find that his calligraphy is in one go, with the momentum of "flying over the eaves and walking over the walls", which is precisely due to his generous and free-spirited personality. In fact, the White Wolf is not vulnerable to the criticism of the old calligrapher, but he has his own set of calligraphy theory, which not only pays attention to the smooth beauty of lines. Another notable feature of the White Wolf cursive script is that the pen does not pay attention to using the center, but goes with the flow, with both the center and the flank, and never deliberately does it. There is a general view in the book world that cursive script is centered, otherwise it will easily make the pen scattered and the handwriting messy, especially cursive script. However, the white wolf can use a pen, and even the winger can run freely at will, which shows his skill. As he said, "the grass-free method is the grass-driving method first."
It is true that the cursive script was written by White Wolf, Zhang Xu and Huai Su. Although his appearance is not as "crazy" as that of Zhang Xu and Huai Su, his heart is blazing. Is that passion and ambition beyond the reach of ordinary people? As the saying goes: Sparrows know the ambition of swans? Therefore, I was not surprised when White Wolf, a book saint, said that he was a "talented calligrapher". When he said "be the richest calligrapher in China", I could only silently wish him to become an evergreen tree of art. ..
