Zhou Shuren's Calligraphy

Speaking of designers, who do you think of? Would you be a little surprised if I said that Lu Xun, a great writer, was a designer?

When we look back on Lu Xun's life, we can find that Lu Xun covers a wide range of fields? Literary creation, literary criticism, ideological research, literary history research, translation, introduction of art theory, introduction of basic science, collation of ancient books, etc. This laid a very solid artistic theoretical foundation for him.

His works in design are inseparable from the school emblem designed by Lu Xun for Peking University. This school emblem was designed by Mr. Lu Xun in August of 19 17. Its pattern is seal script? Peking University? These two characters form a circle, which is convenient for making circular badges. Clever: Below? Big? Looks like a person. What's on it? North? This word is like two people, so it constitutes? Three people crowded together? The image of. Like the image of one person and bearing two people, give it to others? Peking University people shoulder the heavy responsibility? Imagination. No matter from the design or conception, it is very exquisite.

Besides the emblem of Peking University designed by Lu Xun, Lu Xun has many designs. For example, Lu Xun and Qian designed the first national emblem of our country together, and the twelve chapters are common patterns in ancient costumes. According to Shangshu? Yu Shu? The Book of Changes recorded twelve chapters from Yu's family, and quoted and developed the legendary figures of the times, and finally formed twelve special heraldic patterns. Published in February of 19 13, this pattern has been used on coins and flags for quite some time. According to Qian Daosun's recollection, although the pattern design was not very good at that time, Zhou Shuren's first-hand ancient prose was highly praised by the people of the Ministry of Education.

As a writer, Lu Xun's book binding design style is excellent, even in today's book binding design, it can be said that it is not popular. He designed the covers of more than 60 books in his life, all of which are elegant and meaningful, and at the same time have a sense of the times. In addition, Lu Xun is the founder of China prints. His handwriting is not bad at all. Mr. Lu Xun is really a genius!
