Li Ruiqing (1867 ~ 1920), whose real name is Lin Zhong, was originally named Mei 'an and Mei Chi, and was later named a street sweeper. Wen Zhen was born in Linchuan, Jiangxi Province (now a Jinxian). Famous educator, painter, collector and connoisseur in modern times. During Guangxu period, he was a scholar and chose Jishi Shu from imperial academy. From 65438 to 0905, he was the supervisor of Liangjiang Normal School, and made efforts to make it the largest and most prestigious institution in Southeast China at that time. 19 13 resigned, dressed as a Taoist, moved to Shanghai, and made a living by studying and selling calligraphy and painting. Calligraphy styles are diverse, and the Northern Wei Dynasty is famous for its tablet style. Painting with seal script, painting with seal script, created the artistic style of combining painting with seal script. Poetry since the Han and Wei Dynasties has been desolate since ancient times, and the quatrains are sad and touching. The family is rich in calligraphy and painting, especially Bada and Shi Tao, who are good at appreciating. Committed to the cultivation of cultural and artistic talents, famous painter Zhang Daqian and epigraphy painter Hu Xiaoshi all came from his door. He is the author of Fortress Besieged, and his legacy was compiled by Hu Xiaoshi and others as "Sweeping Passers' Legacy Collection".
Trembling with the words fan.
After the Revolution of 1911, Li Ruiqing, an official for the third time, felt that he had lost his political support. In a rage, he changed Huang Guan into a Taoist robe, calling himself a "Taoist" and pretending to be a follower of the Qing Dynasty. For him, if there is no disappointment in his official career, I am afraid there will be no regeneration of calligraphy. Li Ruiqing knew little about the North Monument, made a seal script, was good at the Han Monument, and knew something about the Six Dynasties. He walked on the North Monument, which meant seal writing, which made him different. He thinks that learning seal script is not good, just like learning ancient prose without classics. His handwriting is far from Pan's, he is more like Deng's. He is dignified and changeable, and what impressed him the most was his unsmooth pen.
Closing the pen is deliberately exerting force in the opposite direction of the pen, forming a natural cadence rhythm. Most of the strokes written with a pen are undulating and seem to be shaking. Some people call it "pen shaking" or "pen shaking". In the history of modern calligraphy in China, Chen Zhenlian listed Li Ruiqing as one of the great failures in junior high school, and thought that "Li Ruiqing's vibrato is almost a rigid arrangement with strong regularity-his vibrato vocabulary is very simple, lacking in change, with little aesthetic value except strangeness, let alone intriguing". We can't generalize Li Ruiqing's unsmooth pen. Objectively speaking, his successful works are not only erosive and interesting, but also beautiful in rhythm. Even on a small fan, trembling to write down a few numbers can also reflect his interest in erosion and the aesthetic feeling of rhythm.
Calligraphy has become a fan of Li Ruiqing.
