I was called by Mr. Ji to sit with two gentlemen the other day. Teacher Zhang showed me a lot of materials, some called him a calligrapher, some called him a martial artist, some called him a philanthropist, some called him a persistent and diligent couple, and some called him a caring couple. Between questions and answers, Mr. Zhang's colorful personality life gradually became prominent. Of course, what I see and talk about most is teacher Zhang's calligraphy. I only know teacher Zhang's handwriting, which is solid and vigorous. However, a general can't compete with others, even if it is vast, it is inevitable to whisper that it is not implicit.
Mr Zhang is in no hurry. He slowly instructed the photos: this is two feet, this is two feet, this is six feet, this is a mosaic of four feet and six feet ... If he keeps a straight face, he will gradually correct my imagination. The original four-foot, six-foot, and eight-foot large frames fell apart; Originally imagined as a ruler with a big fist and a big bowl instead of a big diameter, Chinese characters seem to overflow my experience, rippling and expanding, which makes people unbearable and eager to try.
Still depends on the work. You have to look at the work.
And when his huge cursive script only opened two lines, I couldn't help but take a step backwards, feeling my spine cool and I lost my voice. This kind of cursive script, with big characters that can be held, small characters like wheels, two words of furnace smoke, golden drum, getting caught in the rain and avalanche, suddenly hit the eyes, making people dare not avoid it. According to the handwriting, stippling is like a snake winding out of a hole, with rustling sound and invincible vegetation. Suddenly flying white, such as through the wind and thunder, correcting the dragons, suddenly without a clue. At this time, I can't help but absorb the majestic melody of its rivers burst their banks and the molten gold flowed away, and dance with its rhythm-perhaps, when Mr. Zhang writes this book, he will be as strong and powerful as his fist, relax to a certain extent, and the audience will be dazzled if there are endless words, but the movements of his hands, eyes and body will not be chaotic, but he will come to an abrupt end, and he will be leisurely and carefree. This makes sense. The nitpicking hidden in the initial heart, even the technical details that are ready to be questioned again, are simply too small to be laughed at. Although its regular script combines many steles, it is mainly composed of the steles of Gaoling Temple in Song Dynasty. The word is bigger than the palm, it is open and it is alive; The stippling is thick and coherent, such as old pine, giant cypress and Apollo Angzang, which are full of vitality. Its seal is the same as its behavior.
Therefore, we know that the value of a single book is different from the fine print of walnuts, and various evaluation methods cannot be used as examples. To write a list, you must be energetic, ambitious, healthy and hardworking. Only with this courage and this means can we dare to win the championship. Mr. Zhang Can spelled the word "longevity" with a stroke of a pen on a picture made up of ten pieces of four-foot paper. If simplified into fine print, it is not as subtle as Zhao Wuxing and Wen Hengshan, but it can still be completed in all directions. If it is about the original work, it should be refined and energetic, not fine print. If you want to know something important, you must do it. For example, the mountains and valleys are huge. If you treat the photos as lies, you lose. You have to keep climbing, even when the peak is still, to truly appreciate its height. And Mr. Zhang happens to be full of energy, ambitious, healthy and profound in kung fu. He has no weakness, and his manners are the same. This is the ancient meaning of the Central Plains. After the Qin and Han Dynasties, he will be vigorous and down-to-earth. Nowadays, there are not many people who are good at lists; Making a list without steaming cakes is particularly commendable and worthy of praise.
Once again:
Although Shi Li lives in Dunhuang, his calligraphy has few "regional characteristics". He pays attention to the world of books, sticks to himself and does not stay away from the trend of the times.
Shi Li is good at seal script, cursive script and regular script.
Stone as seal script, take big seal script. Far away, it comes from "Shi San Pan"; More recently, it's from yellow. Seal script is made of die casting and stone carving, which inevitably has the nature of technology. People who have been studying seal script have always given full play to the advantages of seal script technology, which is extremely unnatural and lacks natural interest. In the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, people made small seal scripts, and even burned their writing tips, forcing them to be flat and smooth. Today, the seal script of Wang Qi in Zhongshan is also very decorative. In front of such a work, you can only admire its efforts, but it is difficult to produce a deep voice. If you are skilled, you will get hurt. After Qin dynasty, seal script went from bad to worse and almost disappeared. When Deng came out, official script was used as seal script, which made it possible for seal script to stand three feet vertically. The fundamental reason is that painting seal script has become writing seal script. Only by writing can we operate, integrate into people's rhythm and meaning, achieve people's temperament, shape people's joys and sorrows, and make calligraphy an art. If it violates this ultimate goal, it will not go far. In recent years, people have fallen in love with Huang's big seal script, which is the reason. However, the cursive script in the big seal script, such as "Shi San Pan", is full of appeal because it has not been excessively modified and retains the flavor of brushwork and ink dance. The object of Shi Li's method proves Shi Li's vision and interest. Perhaps at the moment, he is not as heavy as Pan, nor as pure as Huang, but he is clear and lively, and he is also different. Works like "Song Zhengqi" are vast, and the clouds are steaming Xia Wei, and the ink is clear and the pen is healthy, and the cooperation is just right. Its exquisite seal script still has a lot to do.
Its cursive style is paste method, which should be the result of widely taking hundreds of schools. In series, the signs of Erwang, Zhang Xu, Yan Zhenqing and Wang Duo are more obvious. Learners generally go this way, but they only understand different things. His strength in cursive writing is handsome and free and easy. Delicate, not vertical and horizontal, putting on airs, clear and concise brushwork; Free and easy, it is an elegant gesture, not irritating, soothing and smooth. His cursive script is mild, even slightly better than the quality, and modestly reveals his aesthetic taste. For example, in "The Story of a Seat", although there is a form and a spirit, it abandons the fierce and unrestrained struggle of vertical and horizontal cooperation, and now it is calm and full of Zen. I think this is Shi Li's conscious pursuit and his ideal aesthetic realm. Of course, any artistic realm is an ideal realm, and it is an increasingly distant horizon. Sun said that the distribution of beginners should be fair; It can be both fair and dangerous; It can avoid danger and restore justice. This iterative process is not only a big law of lifelong exploration process, but also a small law of short-term practice. Shi Li's pursuit of elegance and agility does not necessarily require repeated practice, one after another, forming a cycle, and multiple cycles accumulate, naturally forming a spiral rise.
If you are not good at small letters, you are not a calligrapher. Shi Li's small letters are far less than Zhong You's, and they also have the meanings of Wang Chong and Huang Daozhou. They are empty, but the connotation of Ana is cool and chewy to read. His calmness is obvious here. Only by being calm and carefree, can we endure the long road of the sea of books and mountains, and even the dangers are endless. Shi Li is not a professional calligrapher, but an official ear. He has a heavy workload, and he can write such fine print on his desk in his spare time, which is natural and self-sustaining, elegant and antique. So his calligraphy is not bureaucratic, but purely professional and bookish.
Take your time, the moon shines quicksand, and the stars are shining brightly-I make a splash for Mr. Shi Li in the Central Plains!
