I like seal cutting and calligraphy and painting. Recently, I bought the book inscription of Fenglitang. Please comment. Book Club of Shanghai Second Department Store: Inscription of Fenglitang is Mr. Chen's new book. After he gave it to me, he read it in a hurry. I wanted to ask Brother Minghua, who is familiar with calligraphy and painting, to write a book review, but he was busy and put it aside. This time, on the occasion of the "National Day" holiday, I turned it out and read it again, and got a better understanding of the artistic talent of the Ju Peng brothers. In the late 1970s, I worked as an editor in the Literature and Art Department of Jiefang Daily for one year, and later I entered Xinmin Evening News. In the same year, Chen entered Liberation Daily.
Although we have never cooperated, I often read and read the "Wenbo" edition edited by him later. The quality of a layout is often related to the editor's cultural and artistic accomplishment. He gave me an old-fashioned collection of poems, Yellow Mouth Innocent. I have always been partial to Tang poetry and Song poetry. I think people who are immersed in classical poetry must have a refined charm. Mr Ling Ke is such a master of literature. Chen's inscription is also short and pithy, quite antique. Brother Ju Peng is good at calligraphy besides attacking ancient poems.
The inscriptions in this book "Inscription of Fenglitang" are all written by him with a brush, and his calligraphy is unique. Therefore, readers can read at least three things when reading this book. First, comment on whether the author's inscription is reasonable; The second is to appreciate whether the author's calligraphy (and some paintings) are exquisite. It is worth mentioning that Chen's calligraphy is also a literati's style, which is different from authentic calligraphers and can better show the personality of literati. Thirdly, this book also includes the works of other painters and calligraphers, such as Lin's Pastoral Map, his Landscape Painting, Yuan Nasi's Peony, Huang Azhong's Ink Landscape and Epigraphy. In a word, this book is very interesting. While drinking tea, I savored it carefully and admired the author's talent for painting and calligraphy when compiling Wenbo. Similarly, his artistic taste has also improved the artistic quality of Wenbo Edition. Fenglitang's inscriptions are elegant and bookish. Editing a page is a pleasure for editors.
