Who is the chairman of Shaanxi Calligraphers Association now?
Liu Zidu (19 14-200 1), also known as Liu Zhongshu, is also a self-taught, independent and rugged mountaineer. Male, Han nationality, from Sanyuan County, Shaanxi Province. He used to be a professor at Xi University of Technology, executive director of China Calligraphers Association, chairman of Shaanxi Calligraphers Association and honorary member of Shaanxi Federation of Literary and Art Circles. 1985 1 was appointed as a librarian of the Provincial Museum of Literature and History by the Shaanxi Provincial People's Government. China Calligraphers Association awarded him "China Calligraphy Art Honor Award". Mr. Liu is famous for his seal script. It is said that as early as the early 1960s, Mr. Wang asked someone to hang up his seal script banner. The old man casually unfolded on the counter, but took a deep breath and even called him "good character." Indeed, in those days, good calligraphy works can give people a visual impact, a spiritual voice, which is refreshing. This is especially true of Liu Lao's works. His seal script can follow the example of Mo Youzhi, Wu Xizai, Yang Yisun, Wu Changshuo and others in Qing Dynasty, take its essence and avoid its vulgarity, and extract a unique cultural taste from extensive knowledge with a combination of rigidity and softness and a hungry brushwork, which makes his works have a strong shock in harmony and unity. Mr. Liu's seal script is highly harmonious, varied and colorful. It is not bound by a certain formula or law, not to mention that sometimes you feel the same, but you will never figure it out. Many contemporary calligraphers in Chang 'an have more or less the scale of Mr. Liu's pen, but they can't be exhausted. Some busybodies in the market have painstakingly pondered the law of Mr. Liu's seal script writing, but it has never been realized. Mr. Liu's study is called "Heart Painting Building", which means "words are born from the heart and paintings are born from the heart". Yes, calligraphy itself is the external expression of the profound knowledge of Chinese studies, not just drawing pictures on paper. Although the common people have been in contact for many years, it is difficult to get a glimpse of it. Liu Lao's seal script is very particular about using a pen, with a straight center and a hidden head to protect the tail. He does not blindly pursue the combination of rigidity and softness, but gives full play to the characteristics of seal script, which is just right. At the same time, relying on the deep accumulation of many years' research on Yishan Monument, Shi Guwen and many bronzes, he took the advantages of each family and well controlled the density of the structure, which made his seal script posture varied and patchwork. It is no exaggeration to say that "Mr. Liu, the greatest seal calligrapher in contemporary China" is praised by foreign friends and called him an outstanding calligrapher in modern China. Mr. Liu is not only good at seal script, but also his official script, cursive script, running script and regular script have unique temperament and ancient rhyme, which can not be ignored by the world. His cursive script learned Shu Pu and Ge Tie in his early years, and then turned to attack Cao Zhang, so he became obsessed with it and succumbed to Wang Shitang, a master of modern Cao Zhang. Liu Lao is rigorous in his studies, but he is required to "be able to go out and enter" in learning books. Teacher Wang often recites the words of Teacher He Boling: "It is impossible not to learn from the ancients, and it is impossible to learn from the ancients." I think this contains too much content. The reason why Liu Lao has made such outstanding achievements in calligraphy practice and thus entered the ranks of modern first-class calligraphers in China is related to his understanding of this sentence all his life.
