Shi Jiping, a famous contemporary strength calligrapher.

Xi, an ancient city, is king for thousands of years, and its chessboard streets are antique. Wandering among them every day, writing poems and lyrics, indulging in pen and ink, talking about the past and discussing the present, how magnificent and comfortable it is? One of the authors is Mr. Shi Jiping. Living in a village in the northern suburb of Xi 'an, he went into the courtyard three times and spent every day in the sky, looking up at the moon, the moon and the Milky Way, overlooking the situation of the imperial city, attracting three or two friends to have tea and talk about Zen, leaving his feelings in the city and living in seclusion. Mr. Ji Ping has a unique pleasure.

"Look at the Toray Romance, and penzer * * * holds the lamp. The delicious food is full of color and light in the yard. I can see that it snows early and the mountain is in the south. Vertical pen dancing calligraphy, poetry flowing Wei Shui painting Qin Guan. What is Jade doing in a hurry to go to Princess Jin? Slow down. A hundred thousand waves are waiting to sail. "

A "Nanxiangzi" is full of beautiful scenery, which leads to poetic, open-minded, romantic clouds, endless words, faint celebrity style and detached literati style. Mr. Ji Ping's improvisation in the south can be described as "ambition in poetry and affection in words". He encouraged himself and tried his best to show his mind.

Mr. Ji Ping, 1945 was born in Leshan, Sichuan. He practiced calligraphy and poetry with his father who was good at poetry since childhood. When I was young, I had the great ambition of "never getting married without learning mediocrity and never getting married without achieving anything in my career". Although my fate is ill-fated, I have been writing for decades, addicted to calligraphy, optimistic and open-minded, without sorrow, without falling into the clouds, accompanied by poetry and books. I wrote my own heart, developed an open and bold temperament and a tough and unrestrained writing style.

Being able to write and compose poems is a compulsory course for ancient literati. Today, there are only a handful of people who study poetry and books without losing their literati style. Nowadays, people who are famous and married in the book world mostly imitate the poems of their predecessors, but it is difficult to find the modesty and ancient style when the world is cold. Mr. Ji Ping is proficient in classical Chinese, improvising poems, eloquent, touching the scene, and often witty. Reading his poems and appreciating his calligraphy are really beautiful enjoyment. Fill in poetry, ups and downs, fresh and natural, full of elegance. As a calligrapher, strokes are romantic, rhythmic and natural.

Under the prevailing trend of being unconventional and being able to write at home, the utilitarian orientation of becoming famous and selling well leads to impetuousness in calligraphy, and calligraphy creation has become a skill to gain benefits. Without the cultural cultivation closely related to the art of calligraphy, traditional literati lost their cultural instinct to ask about reality and became obsessed with writing techniques. Inevitably, the worrying situation of calligraphy, visual perception, has replaced desk reading and natural writing to express one's temperament. The aesthetic taste based on traditional culture has become the catharsis of the senses, the entertainment of the market and all the demands for quick success and instant benefit. Calligraphy is not ancient, which is the sorrow of today's calligraphy art.

Calligraphy is the art of self-cultivation, and you can see your heart with words. "The breeze blows the clouds, drunk listening to the sound of spring, climbing alone, and the bright moon is with you." However, Mr. Ji Ping, who can stand loneliness, still studies, does not go with the flow, does not mystify, does not speculate, is honest and devoted to the traditional road, which is commendable.

Mr. Jiping ran away from home when he was young, moved from Bashu to Xinjiang, moved from the western regions to Sanqin, and shuttled between the imperial city and Chencang with the spirit of the South China. Although he lived in Qinchuan for most of his life, he worked hard for Mi and Liang and read all the sufferings of the world. For decades, he has never forgotten the beauty of poetry and calligraphy and has been addicted to calligraphy. Throughout his calligraphy, there is the charm of Han and Tang dynasties, and the official script is self-contained without losing the simplicity of Wei and Jin Dynasties. Especially good at running scripts, words are like people. Running script is like his ancient poems, flying wildly and flowing freely; There is a degree of opening and closing, and the letter is swaying; Clumsy and clever, unpretentious. I wrote a book before, and the wool peak is very long. The lines are very tense, smooth and natural, and very interesting. Such as music, dance, fencing and long boxing. Sometimes there is a high wind, sometimes there are spring breeze and willow trees, which is beautiful.

There is a plaque in Mr. Jiping's study. In his book Tea Zen Blindly, it is detached and elegant. In addition to singing poems for self-entertainment, it is particularly good to write bold poems of ancient and modern celebrities, and it is different to write Su Shi's "Red Cliff Nostalgia", just like a running river, Wang Yang is arrogant; Shenchi Mao Zedong's "Qinyuanchun"? Snow, majestic and unrestrained; I want to catch up with Yue Fei's "Man Jiang Hong", and I am hearty and swallow mountains and rivers. Every work is an intriguing book of calligraphy and poetry. Flowing clouds, orderly opening and closing, ups and downs, expressing the blocks in the chest, the unrestrained beauty is incisively and vividly, and the perfect combination of content and form is achieved.

Mr. Jiping also has a good knowledge of calligraphy theory. He said, "A calligrapher without theoretical support, his works must be superficial and pale. To this end, he also wrote a paper on calligraphy aesthetics and a joint discussion. For example, "the clay is ancient and antique, and there is no ancient. It's me, that is, I have me. "Only true and simple, but simple and thick" can endure is alive, and can live is fine "; Congda's illness is new and smart, and it is the scale of Gu Ni. " Another example is "the book is tender in the old place, and it is calm when you learn deeply." Thousands of books on the chest and dust-free on the pen. This shows Mr. Ji Ping's academic attitude.

Mr. Ji Ping is good at making a list book to attract the business community to obtain it quickly. During his early years in Chencang, he wrote books such as "State-owned Baoji Industry and Trade Building" and "Baoji Railway Hotel", which stood on the top of tall buildings and remained spectacular for many years. The book "Baoji Dongling Group" is even more eye-catching and a local landscape. Known as "the first county in China", the Northern Wei Temple in Gangu County, Gansu Province specially invited a "unique" book tablet to hang on the eaves of Luban Temple in the temple. The official script of Wei and Jin dynasties and the ancient buildings set each other off in interest, leaving an unforgettable impression on tourists.

Mr. Jiping left his hometown for many years when he was young. In that era of historical dislocation, young Jiping suffered a lot, worked as a porter and pulled a cart. He spent his youth in the Western Regions, a place without friends. He was not knocked down by the harsh fate, like a "Millennium Immortal" Hu Yangshu, thriving in the vast Gobi Desert. After work, I study hard to study poetry and seal cutting.

Decades later, Ji Ping revisited his hometown and touched the scene of Shenmu Garden, admiring the magic with an essay: "... this small oasis suddenly appeared on the vast Gobi, with towering old trees fighting tenaciously. You see, their twisted trunks may have been cut off by lightning and strong winds and fell to the ground, but they grew back tenaciously. Their roots seem to have withered, but new branches and green leaves have grown on them, reaching out to the sky thickly. Several trees are embracing each other, relying on each other, fighting and surviving indomitable. ……"

I studied poetry with my father since I was a child. In the next few decades, no matter how difficult the environment is, I still can't give up my original intention. Isn't the natural magic of the desert Gobi also the magic of Mr. Ji Ping's obsession with calligraphy?

In addition to being obsessed with poetry and songs, he has also participated in national, provincial and municipal painting and calligraphy exhibitions and won awards in succession, but he doesn't care and enjoys fame and titles. He pursues optimism and openness like wild cranes and idle clouds. A "Zidu Qu", written by Mr. Ji Ping, hangs in class and reads it every day, which may prove:

"Lv Jifeng state, the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains. Jialing plumbing dyed new green, and the old dreams along the Tsing Yi River were entangled. Ask Mr Dongpo, where is Una? Sighing that Sanjiang is crazy, what year is it today? After all, the deceased is like this, but the knife at Gaoya Ferry is broken, and Emei Mountain is long and wide, and the years can be restored.

Think of Wawu Mountain's blue, green with thorns, Liujiang River's rising, and the mountain stream with swinging iron cables. Unfortunately, there are thousands of landscapes, but those are just childhood memories, not what I want. It happened that the morning bell of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was hidden in the scriptures, and the sound of wooden fish was faint, which could make me convert, but it was like a pen in the forest of steles. "

How lonely the book is, the scribes are sad and happy. Facing with conscience in the secular prejudice, we are not kitsch, cynical and trifling, and we are worthy of this life. Keeping the truth and simplicity, Mr. Ji Ping will be as old as a book.
