When Mr. Xu Shengweng was eighty years old, 30-year-old Shen Dingan founded Xu Xuemen, and finally let Xu Shengweng make an exception and accept him as an apprentice. I have made great progress since this book. From 65438 to 0987, Shen Dingan was invited to attend the International Lanting Calligraphy Exhibition in Singapore. One of his works is a poem by Xu Wenchang: Pomegranate ripens in the mountains and opens its mouth to the sun. There are few people in the deep mountains, and pearls go. When the Singaporean calligrapher saw this work, he gave a thumbs up: "Yi Bingshou!" But Shen Dingan blushed and felt that his calligraphy personality was not obvious enough. Since then, I have worked harder and tried to be flexible.
1999, Shen Dingan was invited to hold another solo exhibition in Singapore. At this time, Shen Dingan was calm and full of eyes. Facing the flood of visitors, he walked slowly between his calligraphy works, when a well-known local fellow encouraged Shen Dingan to shine on the spot. Shen Dingan did not refuse. He took off his coat and hat, rolled up his sleeves and swept around. He smiled and waved a poem: "there is a square pot scene on the sea, and the lion city is everywhere new." On the day of Lanting repair, pitching is a guest. " Everyone present was whispering:
During 1987, more than 50 famous calligraphers from China and Japan participated in the Lanting Book Fair. Everyone followed Yonghe Lanting Yaji in the Jin Dynasty and sat on the bank of Qushui. The merchant slowly stopped in front of Shen Dingan. Shen Dingan gently picked it up, gulped it down, wiped his mouth, and said, "Drink without poetry, but recite poetry without drinking." Poetry and wine are the same, and the brush is timely. Shen Ding 'an took his time, cleared his throat and recited in pure Shaoxing dialect, which had a unique charm. After the recitation, Shen Dingan made another impromptu gesture, which won applause from colleagues present such as Sha Menghai and Qi Gong.
Shen Dingan is always a bright spot in Lanting Calligraphy Festival every year. Improvised poetry in the water, splashing ink in the temple of the right army, drinking Shaoxing wine and eating braised pork during the dinner, blushing and squinting, talking and laughing, and naturally taking in everything in a glance. 9 1 Shaoxing International Lanting Calligraphy Festival, surrounded by the crowd, Shen Dingan leisurely walked to a square table, licking his pen and shaking his wrist. He immediately said, "Exhausting the right military shrine, singing by the water, inviting distant guests to Lanting, laughing before" and clapping his hands and applauding. Shen Dingan was "held hostage" by crowding round to a small room and asked to see Mo Bao. Sweat had already covered his forehead, and he blushed brightly. He simply took off his suit, and a majestic official script was written in an instant. Someone read the praise and said: Shen Dingan's words are too strong! Another person echoed: "drinking some old wine is enough!" " Shen Dingan said with a smile: "No wine, tea!" With that, he picked up a cup of tea on the table and took a sip. The child smiled. The painter Wu Guanzhong once made such a metaphor that art is like a big house. Only by opening all the doors and windows can it enter and exit freely. Shen Dingan can draw and write, and is good at making friends with Confucianism. Over time, the next art is like a door and window, which is very transparent in his heart.
There have always been a large number of talented people in the ancient Yue calligraphy circle, and Shen Dingan, a master of calligraphy, is one of them. Shen Lao was born in a scholarly family, studied all over the Han and Wei Dynasties, and was good at a variety of calligraphy styles, especially the extraordinary official script. Although his reputation resounded through China, Shen Dingan, who is old, did not stop and still struggled for the cause of calligraphy. For the sake of Shaoxing's calligraphy career, Shen Lao spent more than seven years before and after collecting information and works of Shaoxing's modern and contemporary calligraphy masters, and compiled a biography of Shaoxing's century-old calligraphy and painting masters.
