Journal of self-fragrance of cultivated old flowers in Yantian

There are, but not many, people who study hard, teach in a down-to-earth manner, create conscientiously, be upright and upright, be not vain, be tireless in learning and teach others. Teacher Yan Zonghui is such a person.

Mr. Zong Hui was born in Cangxi, and the mountains and rivers in his hometown endowed him with aura. After graduating from normal school, he went to the podium to engage in art education. When he was 3 years old, he went back to his hometown after being admitted to colleges and universities for further study. He taught in normal schools and high schools successively, preaching and dispelling doubts, and cultivated peaches and plums all over the world for decades, which was deeply respected by the society and loved by students. After teaching, Mr. Zong Hui devoted himself to inkstone fields and enjoyed it. His accomplishments in poetry, calligraphy and painting rose step by step. His paintings and calligraphy works were selected for many domestic art exhibitions and won awards, and his artistic realm was very accessible. Mr. Wang also loves poetry and songs, has a strong interest, and has created a large number of works with pastoral scenery, learning and teaching experience and life perception.

Mr. Zong Hui is 6 years old this year. Before retiring, he plans to hold a personal painting and calligraphy exhibition, and collect and publish the poems he has created for decades. After listening to Mr. Wang's ideas, Zhou Heping and I and a group of students strongly supported him. He wrote many poems, and later he decided to publish only five-character quatrains and seven-character quatrains. These works include his creations since the 198s, with more than 5 pieces. Since this plan was made in 212, Mr. Wang has spent a lot of effort to revise and sort out the previous poems, and finally pulled out the manuscript in December 212. The teacher asked my advice politely. After reading Mr. Wang's manuscript, I suggest adding some calligraphy and painting inserts, choosing 1 to 2 poems, drawing the artistic conception of the poems with ink painting, or writing them down with calligraphy, which will make the collection of poems illustrated and illustrated, and secondly let readers appreciate Mr. Wang's artistic attainments in calligraphy and painting. I'm glad that my opinion was adopted by the teacher. During the period when the poetry anthology went to press, Mr. Zong Hui began to organize a personal painting and calligraphy exhibition. Before the Spring Festival in 213, the place for solo exhibition was selected and negotiated. After more than four months, Mr. Wang has been busy preparing for it. Mr. Wang dug up his favorite works for decades, re-created them according to the original idea and combined with the specific conditions of the exhibition room, and mounted them with precision. In mid-April, 213, Mr. Zong Hui's "Old Man's Personal Painting and Calligraphy Exhibition" was exhibited in Cangxi Cultural and Sports Center, and his poetry collection "Selected Poems from Yang Zhuo Zhai" was also published. On that day, the Federation of Literary and Art Circles held a grand opening ceremony for his painting and calligraphy exhibition. Many painters and painters from the northern Sichuan area came to visit the painting and calligraphy exhibition and congratulated them. Mr. Wang's disciples came to visit when they heard the news. The exhibition site was crowded and the atmosphere was warm. After visiting Mr. Wang's personal painting and calligraphy exhibition, I was very happy to get the autographed Selected Poems of Yang Zhuo Zhai presented by Mr. Wang.

I studied in a normal school in the 198s. When we were in the second grade, Mr. Zong Hui was transferred to the school to teach art courses. Music and art are compulsory courses in the first year of normal school. After entering the second year, music and art can only be selected as one subject in order to let students learn well and be competent for their work in the future. I chose music class at that time, and I missed listening to Mr. Zong Hui's teaching. Because I am a teacher in the class, I still have a lot of contact. Later, the school held a calligraphy competition, and I won the prize in this competition. Teacher Zong Hui is a judge. After the competition, Teacher Zong Hui came to me and said that my calligraphy has some basic skills. As long as I practice hard, I will make progress. In that simple-minded student era, I was encouraged by my teacher and my enthusiasm suddenly rose. So I insisted on not eating meat for seven or eight days, bought the mysterious tower in Liu Gongquan with the saved food ticket, and wrote it on the copybook in my spare time. People often say that words can't take a hundred days. I practiced intermittently according to the copybook for more than half a year. Later, because I was close to graduation, I had to put it down to meet all kinds of exams. In that half year's practice, I really cultivated my love for calligraphy. The copybook that I saved money from my teeth when I was a student is still in the bookcase. After I joined the work, I have income. Although I am not rich, it is not a problem to buy copybooks. Every time I meet my favorite copybook, I buy it. Now there are a lot of copybooks. When I have time, I will take them out to watch the exhibition. I have prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone countless times, and I have made up my mind to practice hard, but I always lead the way, so I let go of my enthusiasm after a few days. Many years after graduation, Mr. Zong Hui's expectations and encouragement for me are always the same as at the beginning. More than ten years ago, Mr. Zong Hui bought a new house at the foot of Sydney Mountain, and after moving to the new house, Mr. Zong invited me to visit at home. After dinner, I went to my husband's house, looked at all the rooms briefly and was called to the study by the teacher. After a few words, I talked about painting and calligraphy. My husband encouraged me to practice more, and while talking, I developed paper and polished ink, and demonstrated it on paper. When I left, the teacher sent me a picture album co-published with others and a newspaper with Mr. Yan Bian Miscellaneous Notes. Teacher Zong Hui loves painting and calligraphy, is willing to endure hardships, and is good at thinking and summing up. Especially in calligraphy, he has spent a lot of effort to practice and explore. First, he explored his own personality on the basis of studying Pro-recruitment. In the first ten years, he devoted himself to learning Qigong calligraphy, further integrating and finally becoming his own style. Teacher Zong Hui's example is better than words, and he has set a good example for us to study hard with practical actions.

Mr. Zong Hui has been working hard for decades, never letting go of his book, and his whole body is full of books. "Miscellaneous Notes on the Edge of the Ink Stone" is Mr. Zong Hui's experience in exploring the meaning of calligraphy and painting. Mr. Wang wrote: "You must be bold in painting first, and you will never become a painter without courage. How to gain courage is undoubtedly the only way to "read thousands of books and follow Wan Li Road". Only by reading more books and being knowledgeable can you have a variety of artistic accomplishments, and your courage will naturally be there. " Not only painting, but also many other things.

For decades, Mr. Zong Hui has devoted himself to learning, being quiet and far away, keeping his heart clear, not seeking fame or profit, not being disturbed by complicated things, calling himself "old and clumsy", and calling his study "nurturing the clumsy". I understand that there are two meanings: First, the gentleman is self-deprecating, self-encouraging, diligent and diligent. Second, taking the meaning of Taoism as "being good at nurturing others", I encouraged myself to keep quiet and devote myself to studying knowledge. In Miscellanies on the Edge of the inkstone, Mr. Wang wrote: "Zhuangzi wrote a story about" cutting wood into a piano in the book Da Sheng ". The main idea is that the piano carved by Ziqing is exquisite, and it was carved without any interest or loss. This is especially true in the creation of calligraphy and painting. It is necessary to give up utilitarianism and concentrate on research in order to create good works. " This passage can prove it.

From Mr. Zong Hui, I once again realized that diligence and hard work, self-improvement and perseverance are the only ways to achieve everything. The key is to say and act immediately, learn early and get results early, and learn late and see results later. If you are enthusiastic, you will accomplish nothing.

At the beginning of the exhibition of old and clumsy calligraphy and painting by Mr. Cheng Zonghui, I wrote this essay to congratulate the exhibition on its success and wish Mr. Yan Tian a fruitful future!
