Calligraphy art is not vague in the cloud.
China's calligraphy has its own long history and profound tradition, so we must follow the traditional direction in learning calligraphy. Calligraphy is a philosophical art, and it is abstract, but it is by no means an abstract art. I object to saying that calligraphy is an "abstract symbol" or an "abstract shape". Explaining China's calligraphy with western theories is inconsistent with the traditional calligraphy theory in China. In China's book theory, there are many theories about the image of calligraphy, such as "Yue Long is natural, the tiger lies in the phoenix pavilion", "rushing thunder and falling rocks", "leaking marks" and "painting sand with a cone". So what is calligraphy? It is the abstraction of image ―― it can arouse people's imagination; It is an abstract image ―― it can arouse the association of images. Western and modern abstract theories can never be explained. Calligraphy is hazy and vivid, vague and fixed, strange and changeable, and anyone can "deduce". What foreigners say is that "the iron piece is twisted and the rope is wound, and no one dares to say anything because they are afraid that you don't understand art", which is actually a bluff. There's a poem by Wang Wei, which is called "All colors hang down on the earth". He wrote about beauty, which means that the whole world cherishes beauty. To put it bluntly, everyone loves beauty, so don't take it for granted. There is no vivid and rich image appeal of western China calligraphy. Calligraphy transforms the emotions contained in the individual's body and mind into tangible, colorful, melodious and powerful crystals. In the abstract and changeable lines of calligraphy, life accumulates, condenses and jumps. Every word is a "life unit".
China has traditionally called "abstraction" in calligraphy "meaning". The word "freehand brushwork" is very important in the history of China fine arts, and it is a unique aesthetic concept. The lines in calligraphy express the calligrapher's emotional rhythm and desire. Since Zhang Zhi, classical calligraphy has been combined with literature, and it is in this sense that western abstractists do not understand it. For the abstract school, without literary norms, the tradition of calligraphy can never be separated from literature, emphasizing the unity of font and spirit, calligraphy and literature. When the two are integrated, there will be excellent works on paper. The function of calligraphy is to "shape its joys and sorrows", and the essence of calligraphy is not abstract. Cursive script is recognized as the most abstract line. Gan Long used such a sentence when evaluating Huai Su's Wild Grass, which is very meaningful and telling. He said: "The African Union is not vague in the clouds!"
This "Dragon Claw in the Cloud" is an abstract explanation of China's cursive script. But it is "unambiguous" and has a definite image, so it is different from the west. This is a very clever sentence. It originated from an argument about poetry in Kangxi period. "Qiantang flood Japanese side to think of it, than the new city * * * Wang Yuyang * * the door is longer. Yu yuyou. One day, Wang Yuyang was reciting poems in the house of * * * of Scott. The Japanese side thinks ill and has no customs, saying,' Poetry is like a dragon. There are no scales on the front and rear paws, and they are not dragons. "Scott said,' Poetry is like a dragon, and its tail is not seen at the beginning, or a claw and a scale are just exposed in the clouds, so it is foolproof? "This is the sculptor's ear." Yu yue:' the dragon's flexion and extension change, and there is no fixed body. The person who sees in a trance refers to its scales and claws, and the dragon head and tail are intact, so it is now. If you stay in what you see and think the dragon is there, the sculptor will have to resign. "The Japanese side is convinced of this." Both front and rear claw angles, this is naturalism. Neither the first nor the second claw angle is abstract. Only "seeing its head but not its tail, or revealing a claw and a scale in the cloud" is China's art, which is "between abstraction and concreteness". Poetry is like this, and so are books. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that "the African Union is unambiguous on the cloud" is a generalization of the whole art in China. Of course, we will admire the sculptures "David", "thinker" and "discus thrower" in ancient Greece and Rome. * * * These names are not very artistic. When Zhu Yuanzhang was in trouble, an old beggar gave him a bowl of leftover soup in a ruined temple. He ate very delicious. Ask him what it is, and the old beggar can come up with a name called "Pearl Jade White Jade Soup". * * * Precise bones and protruding muscles in western sculpture. However, if you compare it with the natural animal statue with a small axe before Han Huo went to the sick tomb, you can see which nation knows art better.
