Fragrance and Charm of Calligraphy —— Interview with Calligraphy Artist Geng Lansheng
China Daily: Approaching a calligrapher is like opening a profound book. While appreciating the plain and unique calligraphy works of calligrapher Geng Lansheng, it is a pleasure to listen to him talk about Confucianism and Taoism, and it feels more like a scholar and a philosopher.
"China's calligraphy art bears the accumulation of various cultures and the cultivation of Chinese studies, and it is also a comprehensive embodiment of calligraphers' cultural and artistic cultivation, artistic skills and life and social experience." He said.
I have studied calligraphy since I was a child, been posted by famous calligraphers and worshipped famous teachers. I studied under famous calligraphers, such as Ouyang Zhongshi and Wu Zhongqi. When I was young, I copied Yan Zhenqing's famous calligraphy posts, such as "Many Pagodas and Monuments" and "My Nephew's Memorial Draft". I learned Wang Xizhi's Preface to the Lanting Pavilion and Seventeen Posts. In order to seek inspiration for calligraphy creation, he traveled all over the great rivers and mountains of the motherland and absorbed the aura of nature. He inherited the tradition, integrated, learned from others, and honed his unique artistic style of calligraphy.
He said that his calligraphy not only pursues the beauty of form, bone and spirit, but also has aura. "Form, bone and spirit" are interlinked, harmonious and decent, and spiritually interlinked. At the same time, the pursuit of composition changes, giving each font a sense of life and aura, so that creativity and content leap from the paper.
See it brush ink, brush down, like a runaway horse, fly away from the dust; Quiet as a valley. His fonts are tactful or light, and his brushwork is bold, wild, and the virtual and the real are born together, with endless changes. His calligraphy incorporates the perseverance, courage and enterprising spirit of Confucianism, as well as the emptiness, lightness, dispersion and quietness of Laozi and Zhuangzi.
Some famous artists even commented on his works: "lines are like dead trees in spring, dull and smooth;" The technique pays attention to pitch and tilt, mopping the floor against the current, five colors of ink painting and eight strokes; The composition is calm and atmospheric. It is summarized as the book is full of charm, and the human path is vicissitudes. "
After decades of writing and writing, it has formed its own distinctive style. Geng Lansheng's calligraphy works have been published in national media such as People's Daily and Economic Daily, and he has participated in many national calligraphy exhibitions and competitions and won many national awards. His calligraphy "Shou" was selected into the Guinness Book of World Records and was permanently collected by the Royal British Museum. He has also been invited by party and state leaders, provincial and municipal leaders and overseas friends to collect books many times.
