He also has many original views on the art of calligraphy itself. Generally speaking, learning calligraphy begins with writing "Jiugongge" or "Mi Zige", focusing on the center of the square. However, Qi Gong found that the center of gravity of Chinese characters is not in the center of traditional Mi Zige, but in four corners not far from the center. He also calculated that the proportional relationship between them accords with the so-called "golden ratio", which has important guiding significance for learning calligraphy.
Qi Gong's calligraphy works are very popular in the market. Taking the spring auction in Beijing in 2003 as an example, China Guardian released its work 10, and all of them were sold, including four pieces with a price of more than 80,000 yuan. The "Heart of the Seven Wonders in the Tang and Song Dynasties" was sold for 418,000 yuan, and the transaction price was amazing.
Painting → landscape, bamboo and stone lyric
Qi Gong's painting style is: rigorous composition, vivid techniques, bright colors and long lasting appeal, especially good at landscapes and bamboo stones, which is very interesting in traditional literati painting. "Autumn Mountain Man Walking in Painting" is a common theme. In 1930s and 1940s, he made his mark in painting and reached the artistic peak in 1950s. He also paints and sells money to supplement his life.
The painting price of Qigong's later years showed a steady upward trend. China Guardian photographed his A Record of Zhu Zhu Mo in the autumn of 1999 and sold it for more than 70,000 yuan. By 2002, the price of the same four-foot paper was 65438+ 10,000 yuan. In recent years, the eye disease of Qigong has become more and more serious, and painting has become very difficult and more precious.
He has painted many works for national leaders' visits and international exchanges. Qi Gong said humorously before his death: "I am a gift manufacturing company here."
Poetry → Old-style Poetry Expressing Modernity
Qi Gong is a contemporary old-style poet with a unique style. His poems are neat in meter, elegant in language, full of modern flavor by using contemporary vocabulary. Poetry, books and paintings are often displayed in his works in a unified way, reaching the realm of "painting in poetry and poetry in painting"
For example, in his painting "Bamboo Peony Becomes a Family", he wrote a poem: "Bamboo Peony Becomes a Family, and both rigidity and softness help a good career; Jin Jie was modestly praised as a gentleman, and the beauty of the country attracted hundreds of flowers. The sun and the moon are always new, and Chunhua's face is not old; I hope the world is like this, and I will be happy. "
Identification → Diligence becomes a national treasure.
Qi Gong once said that the most diligent and remarkable achievement in his life was the identification of cultural relics, especially the ancient paintings and inscriptions, and he was knowledgeable. From 65438 to 0947, he was employed as a special member of the Palace Museum, responsible for the identification of calligraphy and painting, the review of documents and archives, and the collation of historical materials in the Qing Dynasty.
From 65438 to 0983, National Cultural Heritage Administration hired seven top domestic experts to identify the treasures collected by major museums in China. Qi Gong is one of the seven experts. In addition to painting and calligraphy, he also appraised unearthed cultural relics and ancient books, such as Wang Anshi's Lengyan Jing Yao Mu and Long Shu's Song Wengong Ji. In the past two years, he also participated in the collection and appraisal of "Ode to a Teacher" and "Chunhua Pavilion Post", which shocked the cultural relics community. Therefore, Qigong has become a rare national treasure talent in the field of cultural relics.
