Liu Jiefang came to Ningxia before. Influenced by his family since childhood, he loved the works of He, a calligrapher in Qing Dynasty. He studied at Northwest Normal University and later taught in a middle school for many years. In addition to heavy teaching work, he tried to practice calligraphy. He understood that learning books must be incisive, so he devoted himself to studying hundreds of schools and made great progress in his skills.
Member of China Book Association, member of the first, second and third sessions of China Book Association, honorary chairman of Ningxia Book Association. Honorary president of Ningxia Painting and Calligraphy Institute. Won the 20th Anniversary Calligraphy Honorary Award of China Calligraphy Association.
It is not enough to summarize the life of calligrapher Liu.
In the poems that the old man often writes, I vaguely caught some traces that fit his life. If I misappropriate them here, it will help us better understand this old man who already knows books and the truth of life.
Before middle age, Liu was somewhat similar to the sentence in Song of Pomegranates by Kong Shaoan, a poet in the Tang Dynasty: "It's too late to bloom in spring." In the early 1970s, mass calligraphy in Ningxia was still blank. At that time, powerful calligraphers like Hu Gongshi and Liu were hidden among the people. They may not have expected that the spring of Ningxia calligraphy will come soon, and it is from them that it takes root and sprouts.
This modest old man in his 60s is becoming more and more mellow and indifferent, and his understanding of life in calligraphy is far less than that in his youth. This is also like a collection of words he loves to write: Gao Huai is naive when he sees physics. Deep understanding in temperament, returning to nature in interest, enjoying myself, forgetting things and me.
Today, the old man in Zheng Qian is 18 or 19 years old, and his words are full of childlike innocence, which is amazing, and this just corresponds to the sentence in Lu You's Singing for the Old Man: Being in the Tong Cao Fight Club is like tying a rope.
