Like many friends who love calligraphy, I know Mr. Lin from his calligraphy works. It was his works that attracted me. Over time, I got to know him better.
Lin has a profound knowledge of calligraphy theory, a good knowledge of writing Chinese characters, a comprehensive cultural quality of extensive knowledge, self-study perseverance and innovative spirit, and an excellent artistic moral realm and artistic character, which makes his calligraphy art have aura and vitality.
Looking at his calligraphy works makes people feel new but not thin. As far as Hongtu Guo Yun is concerned, it is flashy, the finished work does not lose its statutes, and the works with few words do not lose its splendor, combining rigidity with softness, combining strength with beauty, full of flesh and blood and natural structure. Learn from the past, not from it, and be innovative and not favored. This is "many ancient people cast it in their hearts, wrote it out, and integrated the strengths of a hundred schools of thought into themselves."
His calligraphy is full of bones and blood, lively and agile. The types of pens, the familiarity of composition, the reflections from top to bottom, look in all directions, ups and downs, and emerge from the paper. In flowing lines, Fiona Fang, density, length, thickness, thickness, light, dryness and wetness are changeable and flexible. Majestic as running water, really unconventional, unique, with its own unique brushwork and unique artistic expression. His artistic charm not only gives people artistic appreciation, but also gives people spiritual enjoyment. His works are "firm in softness, strange in beauty, refreshing and beneficial." I "appreciated Lin's calligraphy very much, and then I understood the contents of the book." It really feels like taking a shower, changing clothes, burning incense and reading thread-bound books. The fragrance of lines, ink, characters and texts is overflowing, and the nose is comfortable, the eyes are pleasing, the heart is relaxed and the spirit is pleasant. " Write the reader's true feelings.
He is not proud. He believes that the highest realm of calligraphy is to write heart, thoughts and feelings. Mr. Lin's calligraphy has reached this level. He organically combined traditional calligraphy skills with modern calligraphy, and boldly innovated with abstract and wonderful calligraphy skills. His rich ink color changes wonderfully, and the words written one by one swim in the air in Long Zaitian, and the brushwork of freehand brushwork blends between the lines. There are pictures in the words, and the strokes are scattered and undulating, which makes the viewer amazed. He wrote down his feelings about pen and ink life. For Mr. Lin, calligraphy is his lifelong love and pursuit, and it is precisely because of this persistence that his life is a little more bumpy and wonderful than usual.
Everything is inferior, only the calligrapher Lin, who is highly educated, is a flying fairy outside, elegant and free and easy, and looks like a tough guy inside, with steel as the rib, writing a lasting personality charm. He is willing to be lonely, and with his innate quality and dreamlike love for calligraphy art, he has stepped onto the palace of calligraphy step by step. —— Li Bida, former director of the Enterprise Registration Bureau of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce
Now he is a member of China Calligraphers Association.
Mr. Lin was born in Putian, Fujian in February 1939. He graduated from Wuhan Institute of Surveying and Mapping. He used to be a political commissar of a certain navy and a senior cadre of our army. But after work, he devoted himself to the art of calligraphy and painting, and eventually became a famous person at home and abroad and became a national calligraphy and painting. I'm not saying this as a compliment, not as a fraternity. I'm completely convinced. First of all, he has many talents. If you look through his youth picture books, you will be surprised to find that his youth paintings are quite basic. No matter flowers and birds or landscapes, they are experts. Lifelike, with high collection value. I was so moved that I couldn't help sending him photos of his middle school days, each with a poem. The second is to look at his calligraphy, which is really cursive, can do everything, and writes like anything, without any affectation, and everything has reached the level of perfection. Any font is popular with readers. Third, his cursive brushwork is really natural and beautiful. Calligraphy art should not only be vivid, but also beautiful, giving people artistic enjoyment. Generally speaking, Lin's writing is a wonderful Chinese painting. Looking back, every word is also beautiful and charming. This is commendable. Fourth, reading his poems is healthy, lively and inspiring, which reflects his pursuit, his spiritual world and his love for the motherland and mankind. Our times need such artists, and today's youth need such artists even more. Fifth, his love. He has contributed a lot to charity in China and is known as a people's artist who is keen on public welfare. In order to support the "I want to study" charity activity initiated by President Li Ruihuan himself, he donated 150 and 60 masterpieces of calligraphy, all of which were handed down from generation to generation. I sincerely wish him a long and healthy life, and his art will last forever and be famous all over the world.
Xin Mao, Li Bida and Zheng in Summer
Mr. Lin is a famous calligrapher in contemporary China. He knows all five things, especially grass and official script. His running script is unique in the contemporary book circle in China. Its running script fully integrates the essence of all the running scripts of past dynasties, giving people a colorful feeling. Mr. Lin is familiar with the elegant and magnificent show of the Preface to the Lanting Pavilion, the pen for offering sacrifices to his nephew is free, and there are also the arrogant and exotic poems and posts of Hangzhou cold food and the chic and ancient style of the posts. There are both the elegance of Jiuhua tie, the lightness of Zhao Meng tie, the bold brushwork of Zhang Hansi's bass tie, the indulgence of Shu Sutie, the ups and downs of Songfengge's tie, and the charm of Mutu's tie.
Light as Water and Dragon's Sea of Clouds are important works of Mr. Lin's cursive art. They are swift and smooth, and go their own way, like thunder and lightning. Magnificent structure, vivid pictographs of Oracle Bone Inscriptions, sharp and sonorous bronze inscriptions. There is even some beauty of China traditional landscape painting, which is breathtaking.
Farewell to Xin Qiji in Furong Inn is a farewell poem by Wang Changling, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty: "When you enter Wu on a cold and rainy night, you will see a guest off in Chushan. If relatives and friends in Luoyang ask each other, a piece of ice heart is in the jade pot. " The whole poem is full of emotion, describing friends' parting feelings and their own integrity, which is implicit and meaningful. Mr. Lin's running script The Farewell of Wang Changling and Xin Jian at Furong Inn is beautiful in brushwork, cordial and fluent in emotion, natural and graceful in interest, vivid and beautiful in charm, and it is amazing to innovate brushwork such as "out", "in", "Song", "rain" and "general". This work perfectly interprets the artistic conception of Wang's poems with its unique calligraphy art form.
To Comrade Peng should be one of Mr. Wang's representative works in cursive script. The brushwork is vigorous and broad, the structure is arbitrary, the composition is concave and convex, and the clouds are transpiration freely, which not only artistically embodies the atmospheric charm of the great man Mao Zedong, but also embodies the charm of the great poet Mao Zedong across historical and cultural time and space. This work can be described as a model of the perfect combination of artistry and ideology.
Mr. Lin's official script and seal script works are also of high level. His official script absorbed Jin Nong's temperament of being square, thick, abundant and ancient, and blended with the mottled and cracked stone flavor, which was solemn, vigorous, simple, tenacious and elegant. Such as "Qin Songbing Shang Yi, Han Bai Yang Haoran" and other official scripts, all well reflect this feature, which should be rare in contemporary book circles. In the creation of seal script, he often combines official script with seal script, or hides thick front and Mo Yun is simple; Or the front is dry, mottled and simple; Or the pen is vigorous and powerful, and the bones are clanking; Either quiet or gentle, giving people the artistic beauty of hardware.
Mr. Lin's calligraphy art is improving day by day, which is worth pondering and collecting. Appreciation of the Calligraphy Art of Famous Military Calligrapher Lin
Luo
Calligraphy is a "remnant" in the eyes of people with traditional culture in China, while people in China pay more attention to seeing "things" other than calligraphy. This "thing" is the most valuable and core part of calligraphy, and it is also the spiritual supremacy and ultimate goal of China literati.
Lin, a former political commissar of a certain naval unit, graduated from Wuhan Institute of Surveying and Mapping, enlisted in 1965, and spent half his life in the wild. Although the working environment is hard and monotonous, he takes everything in the world and mountains and rivers as the carrier of his heart, and takes the ancient calligraphy sites and forest of steles in China as the witness of your calligraphy. After decades of hard work and silent cultivation, he has achieved the ultimate in calligraphy. His works are widely praised at home and abroad, and are widely collected or inscribed by many politicians, the Great Hall of the People, museums and art galleries at home and abroad. Weifang International Heritage Forest also has a "Linjiaguo Art Park".
Although the history of traditional calligraphy is a cultural relic, as an art with thousands of years of cultural accumulation, it must have long-term technical tempering and long-term pen and ink skills, otherwise it can only be used as a writing method.
Lin's calligraphy is a typical calligraphy after learning. In copying Su Dongpo's Huangzhou Cold Food Sticker, Lin was deeply infected by the change and mutation of law, with a strong melancholy and tragic color and a deep struggle in life. He is obsessed with Huang Tingjian's Hua Yan Shu and Song Feng's Ge Shi Juan. He feels the calligrapher's understanding of the texture and beauty of calligraphy through repeated copying and learning, and finds the balance between the structure and space of characters through emotional grafting. Because of this, his calligraphy has not only the boldness of perilla and the open space of Huang Zi, but also the calmness and straightness of Mi Fei, and has not been influenced by the recklessness of the "tablet school" and "taking the pen as the body", forming a unique artistic aesthetic character with vigorous momentum and simplicity.
Looking around today's book world, what is lacking most is "bookishness". Lin's calligraphy is a combination of quietness, elegance, beauty and leisure, which obviously reveals a strong bookish atmosphere, which is related to his living environment and true personality. Lin was born in Putian, Fujian, which is a famous "hometown of literature". His unique cultural genes make his works full of a strong atmosphere of "returning home in spirit". The atmosphere in his works is quite simple and elegant, but he is full of nostalgia for the mountains and rivers in southern Fujian. His blood is full of the spirit, legend, elegance, history and lofty image of that land, and some special enlightenment conveyed by that land will condense into calligraphy symbols that this calligrapher must express.
Calligraphy needs culture, which obviously includes grasping the calligrapher's thoughts. Lin believes that the real revitalization of calligraphy lies in "writing" rather than "book". His extensive knowledge of traditional culture, profound calligraphy and writing skills, and unique understanding of calligraphy art set a good example for us. —— Lin Jia, a famous calligrapher, is a national first-class calligrapher.
Author: Yang Libin
We often admire the beauty of individuality and handsome charm of calligraphy art, but this charm of calligraphy art is the natural germination of calligraphers when they reach a certain degree of sublimation in their long-term persistent pursuit of loneliness and poverty.
In the anthology of several calligraphy works by the famous calligrapher Lin, there are poems of Tang and Song Dynasties, poems of modern leaders and revolutionaries of the older generation in China, poems of the calligrapher himself, and poems of comrades-in-arms and colleagues. Between the lines, I realized the profound connotation of a nation's traditional culture and art, as well as its rich hobbies.
At first, I mistakenly thought that Lin was born in a scholarly family and received the guidance of a famous calligrapher. After a telephone conversation with him, I learned that Lin was born in 1939, a hard and remote rural family in Putian, Fujian, China. His parents are ordinary farmers facing the loess, and few people in his family have read books, let alone expect to be instructed to learn to create calligraphy and painting. I graduated from Wuhan Institute of Surveying and Mapping in my early years, majoring in science and engineering, not liberal arts. In a poem he wrote entitled "Expressing My Feelings", he wrote: "Appreciate Cui Zhuxiong and love Jinsong style more. If things are right, life will be happy. " Express your feelings of pursuing a poor and elegant life. It can be seen that Lin has been willing to be poor for a long time, taught himself calligraphy, studied traditional poetry, and pursued the hardships and difficulties in calligraphy art.
For decades, Lin has been engaged in military reconnaissance in the wild all the year round. The hard working conditions in the field and the difficulties in family life brought by work swimming often bother his heart. However, the revolutionary soldier's selfless feelings of going north and south for the cause of the motherland and the people, living and working wherever needed, have been burning in his heart. He wrote in a poem he wrote: "It is difficult to have a meal in the wild. It is difficult to explore surveying and mapping. Night is accompanied by a solitary lamp and a shadow, quiet and happy. The scenery is infinite, and the rivers and mountains are infinite. Jiang Tian is vast and has a new look. At the end of the cape, you can travel around the world. " Let us realize the hardships of his long-term life and work in the fields, and his optimistic revolutionary mentality of enjoying the vast and beautiful rivers and mountains of the motherland, being moved by the beauty of nature and pursuing calligraphy with a relaxed attitude.
In addition to working in various places, Lin has more opportunities to visit local Hanmo monuments and forest of steles. While doing a lot of copying and learning, he attached great importance to the appreciation and understanding of the calligraphy inscriptions of famous calligraphers in past dynasties, especially the long-term appreciation and understanding of the calligraphy inscriptions of "Two Kings", Mi Fei, Sun, Huai Su, etc., and fully digested and absorbed the artistic essence of calligraphy masters in past dynasties. He is willing to make great efforts to understand the artistic essence of ancient inscriptions, which makes him play a magical role in calligraphy learning with half the effort. He wrote in the poem "Reading at Night": "A bright lamp is always with the night, and the humble room overflows with books. I have no time to care about the moon and concentrate on tasting. " This poem vividly depicts the real cultural life scene in which Lin spent a long time in silence in the brightly lit dark night in a humble room full of Mo Yun's books, unable to watch the beautiful moonlight, but absorbed in savoring the essence of ancient inscriptions calligraphy.
Calligraphers' books originated from tradition, but they are not limited to famous artists of past dynasties. They are pure "Canadian calligraphy art". Both masterpieces and books carry forward the masculine and beautiful spirit of China, and also express the song of justice on the road of rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, which is loved and praised by fans at home and abroad.
Lin is also a director of the World Association of Painters and Calligraphers, a member of the Artists Department of the China Talent Research Association, an executive director of the China-Japan-Korea Friendship Alliance of New Painters and Calligraphers, and an honorary chairman of the China Contemporary Painting and Calligraphy Art Research Association. No matter his books are loved and sought after by numerous cultural institutions, societies and calligraphy lovers at home and abroad, he is always committed to his persistent pursuit of calligraphy.
