Chen Mo-Wu's Mo Wu Lun

(1) For thousands of years, China's calligraphy art has been full of vitality, because the development of China's national culture and people's lives are inseparable from the calligraphy art, and the calligraphy art has also promoted the development of the calligraphy art, so its relationship with China's national traditional culture is inseparable. Therefore, those who study China's calligraphy and then engage in the creation of calligraphy art will find it difficult to understand the essence and mystery of China's calligraphy art if they lack the cultivation of traditional culture or have a deep understanding of traditional culture.

(2) For a person who studies calligraphy art, the formation of his personal artistic style should be closely related to his personal temperament, mental accomplishment, background materials he chose to study and local culture. Attention should be paid to the study and reference of folk culture and folk handwritten materials. For example, handwritten scripture materials in religious circles, handwritten family genealogy materials, and handwritten letters of folk literati, although anonymous, are naturally pious and unpretentious. Once the study and research of calligraphy art is officially organized, fixed, fixed, commercialized and factionalized, the artistry of Chinese character writing will be greatly reduced. For me, I don't have a fixed model for students. Only by guiding the situation, preaching and dispelling doubts, not imparting skills, letting nature take its course and following one's inclinations can real flowers bloom.

(3) Genius is an excessive display of human innate ability; Talent is the talent and working ability that people show through the accumulation of acquired knowledge and skills under the premise of grasping their own talent; Stupidity is the performance that his talent is too closed and his acquired learning accumulation cannot be digested. We should not only attach importance to discovering talents, but also be kind to cultivating talents, especially treat fools objectively and strive to respect their equality in personality.

(d) Many artistic categories, simple and plain, dignified and dull, bold and rude, broad and loose, elegant and frivolous, are very subtle. If we can't grasp them when we appreciate and evaluate them, we will have a deviation and draw the opposite conclusion. As the saying goes, "an expert looks at the doorway, a layman looks at the excitement", and the understanding of calligraphy art is different, and the aesthetic conclusion will not be the same.

(5) The greatness of land lies in gestation, and the greatness of human beings lies in dedication; People who often sigh that life is dull and tasteless are because they are too dull; Life does not believe in tears, and success does not care about failure.

(6) The beauty of life lies in the beauty of human nature, and a beautiful mind is a magnetic field that attracts happiness.

(7) Calligraphy is actually very simple. It is nothing more than the writing method of Chinese characters. The art of calligraphy is different. It is not something that ordinary people who can read and write can do, but that people who ask to write are scholars and thinkers. Scholars show that he can organize and conceptualize the perceptual things around him, and thinkers show that he can further artistic the perceptual things and rational results. Therefore, artists are extremely intelligent "lunatics".

(8) To study China's fine arts, we should trace back to the past, follow the traditional spirit of the ancient French pen and ink, gain a constantly changing realm, broaden our horizons and broaden our minds, and not stick to simple external appearances. From ancient times to the present, Gu Mo handed down from generation to generation has both advantages and disadvantages, and there are some things that can't be learned. It's just that we have different temperaments. We should be good at learning from each other's strong points, use them for me, and think for me.

(9) In the study of art, we should adopt the attitude of "what is established must be broken". "Standing" is the stage achievement and brilliance in the process of artistic development, and "breaking" is the necessity of artistic development and rebirth. Therefore, our art should not be afraid of being denied by others. Denial itself is a progressive attitude. The key is how to learn to thrive in denying yourself.

(10) I agree that artists must have distinctive personality publicity, but the artist's personality publicity must serve the development of the times and promote social progress. Therefore, the publicity of the artist's personality will inevitably lead the trend. Driven by strong personality, some young artists are always anxious because they follow the anti-tradition. In the end, the tradition was not overthrown, and their personality was not recognized by publicity, which led to nothing.

Affirming oneself and acknowledging others is one of the attitudes to promote a harmonious atmosphere in the art world. When we do academic research or engage in artistic creation, there should be no boundaries between gender, age, qualifications and qualifications. Everyone is equal when enjoying and creating artistic beauty. At the same time, in the process of reference and absorption, we should not adopt the way of complete exclusion or complete substitution. If an art wants to move from naivety to maturity, it must go through historical screening and accumulation, and it is not limited to the artistic category of its own nation. Foreign art can inspire and draw lessons from, and can be a catalyst for enriching national art.

(12) Art belongs to society, the times and life. In the painter's pen, every grass, tree, mountain and valley, every painting has been washed, experienced and refracted by the creator's emotion and life, and the result is to make the works of art more spiritual and magical. At home, in the era of unification, freedom is something that people can't expect or dare to expect, and in artistic creation, any life form is the expression of absolute freedom of artists. Joy and joy, bitterness and worry are all different manifestations of the painter's carefree thoughts.

(13) China is vast in territory and abundant in natural resources, with no mountains, no beauty and no water. Whether it is mountains and rivers, bamboo forests, waterfalls, streams, pavilions, etc. It is the object of our praise and description. Beginners who learn to draw landscapes need to exercise their modeling ability first, and then pursue the spirit of writing with form, so as to realize the organic integration of pen and ink interests.

(14) An artist wants to study in thousands of books and walk the road of Wan Li all his life. Dong Qichang said, "He has learned a lot of charm, but there is something worth learning. He wants to study in thousands of books and take Wan Li Road. " Reading thousands of books, you will understand from the cultivation of mind; Only after Wan Li Road, can we have a philosophical and cultural understanding of nature.

(15) Going around is a realm of life. Facing people in today's society, people are congested. If you walk around, you give others convenience. Materialism, you go around and leave the benefits to others. Bodhi tree, also known as merit tree and wisdom tree, has a strong forbearance style besides its own value. No matter how close its branches are to buildings or other trees, it can always grow around and never collide, compete, squeeze or squeeze with other objects. So it is also called Sleeping Tree and Buddha Tree. Is it the same reason that being a man is different from doing things? Things in the world are always tortuous, and it is impossible to have smooth sailing in Ma Pingchuan. Life is not right, and the world is too complicated. Sometimes, it's time for a walk. Walking around, thousands of times, good things happen again and again. It is wise to yourself, to people and to things.

Life can be capitalized, lowercase and abbreviated. A lowercase life is a dwarf in the soul; Shorthand life is spiritual mediocrity; Only those who strive for self-improvement can use the word "human" written by the wisdom of the survival of heaven and earth. Self-reliance is its apostrophe, and struggle is its slap. Both are indispensable and cannot be called a truly complete life.

(17) Those who are enlightened are also in my heart. Seeing my heart is the real enlightenment. Wu, think of me, I think of you. People live in a word "enlightenment". And enlightenment, there are big enlightenment, small enlightenment, true enlightenment, false enlightenment, epiphany and gradual enlightenment. No matter what enlightenment is, it is a process in which people perceive and know the world with their heart. Through complexity and chaos, they can get real meaning and methods, and organically connect different things, so as to see the essence of things through phenomena.

(18) There is truth in learning, falsehood in learning, and underworld in Taoism. When reading, ask questions, keep a low profile and distinguish between authenticity and elegance. Real learning is to increase knowledge and cultivate morality; Pseudoscience is just for the sake of artiness and window dressing. Real learning can make people see nature clearly, gain profound knowledge and grow and learn; Pseudology can only make people fall into mediocrity, become vulgar and enter the underworld. Therefore, when studying, we should ask questions, and when distinguishing right from wrong, we should be good at knowing true and false. Seeking truth from facts, gaining knowledge, learning morality and striving for self-improvement; On the contrary, it is hard to avoid being too busy and having no time to study.

(19) In my eyes, a teacher should be a perfect musician, writing a melody on each of our students, and the beating notes are their teaching. Their words and deeds affect every student's heart and teach us how to be a good person. They are the bright lights on our learning road, illuminating the rugged road ahead for us. The teacher in my eyes is an excellent painter. When we exposed our shortcomings, they understood them with the greatest patience and tolerance, and corrected our shortcomings with colorful beautification, adding a magnificent stroke to each of our students.

(20) It was difficult and complicated for the ancients to carve bronze jade. Good stone is extremely suitable for stress, just like good paper is subject to pen and ink, where the iron pen passes, stone chips are scattered, showing the effect of natural cracking, leaving traces of lines and bearing the vigorous stone flavor of Gu Zhuo. Knife method can be roughly divided into two types: punching knife and cutting knife. Punch and knife moves quickly, rushing thousands of miles, much like the brushwork of calligraphy, which can show vigorous momentum; The cutting knife moves slowly, and it cuts continuously with a short-distance kitchen knife, one step at a time, just like a pen in calligraphy, which can show vigorous, concise, heavy and steady breath. Sometimes the combination of the two knife methods is better.
