Calligraphy belongs to space art, but limited by time, it is connected with music belonging to time art, so calligraphy and music may perform on the same stage, and the two will be closer in the future. Mr. Bin Quan's calligraphy art will be more refined, and he will create more wonderful calligraphy music programs.
—— Liu Yi, consultant of China Calligraphers Association, vice-chairman of the third and fourth sessions of China Calligraphers Association.
Innovation is the soul of all arts, and Li Binquan has made a very important contribution to cultural innovation. He is a remarkable phenomenon in China's contemporary calligraphy innovation, and can be called the first person in China's music calligraphy. He found his own artistic development and innovation space at the junction of music and calligraphy, and inserted the wings of music into calligraphy!
-He Xilai, former deputy director of the Institute of Literature of China Academy of Social Sciences, former editor-in-chief of Literary Review and famous literary critic.
While explaining the rhythm, rhythm and emotional connotation of calligraphy with music, Li Binquan insisted on writing all the contents of Chinese characters and ancient poems completely and correctly. This can divide the audience into different levels; People at the bottom can appreciate the beauty of the rhythm and sense of rhythm of calligraphy from his performances, even if they don't understand Chinese characters at all. People who know Chinese characters and are familiar with ancient poetry and prose can of course fully appreciate the profound emotional connotation and humanistic connotation of calligraphy art through the combination of the two. Li Binquan's Music Calligraphy brings this problem back to the contemporary calligraphy circle, especially the theoretical circle. This is not an isolated problem. It involves many very important issues, such as the relationship between the form and content of calligraphy art, the internal relationship between calligraphy and other arts, the universality of calligraphy art, the development and exploration of the characteristics of calligraphy art times, the renewal of contemporary calligraphy art concepts, and so on. It is worthy of serious consideration in calligraphy circles.
-Western Language, member of the Academic Committee of China Calligraphers Association, a famous calligraphy theorist.
Some recent events have aroused our idea of further academic discussion on this issue (the relationship between music and calligraphy). There are probably several things that have caused us to think about this problem. First, Mr. Li Binquan recently held his own calligraphy and music practice and artistic creation activities in Vienna Golden Hall. Before and after this, he also participated in activities organized by student groups in Tsinghua and Peking University. In the student debate, the relationship between science and art was discussed. Party A and Party B argue whether science is developed and whether art is likely to be damaged. In this process, Li Bin devoted himself to the creation of musical calligraphy, which inspired the students in Tsinghua, Peking University, and triggered a discussion not only on the relationship between technology and art, but also on the relationship between music and calligraphy.
—— Ren Ping, professor and doctoral supervisor of China Academy of Fine Arts, director of calligraphy research office.
Li Binquan's cursive script is obviously proud of his words, dedication, wisdom and elements, and he is a person who values the law. He is fluent and simple, crazy but not strange, unrestrained and restrained, and has no trouble scratching his eyebrows and head to make gestures, nor does he emphasize some habits of using pens. Showing China's calligraphy on the international stage obviously contains elements of "performance art", but Li Binquan did not simply or superficially use "modern calligraphy" to "visually stimulate" western audiences. He showed the positive pulse of China's calligraphy art tradition ... It can be said that the discussion on the relationship between calligraphy and music and the cooperation between calligraphy and music did not start today. However, it is Mr. Li Binquan's initiative to combine calligraphy art with music art and fully display it on the international stage. A young man who dares to be the first in the world should be praised and encouraged, and should also be given academic status when fully discussed.
-Li, a famous cultural scholar and calligraphy theory critic.
Li Binquan loves cursive script, and has accumulated strength for Sun's book spectrum for a long time, expanding and blending into the grass. In the practice of cursive script for many years, he gradually had a special liking for the musicality and expressiveness of cursive script, sprouted the creativity of musical calligraphy and began to explore musical calligraphy. In recent years, his music calligraphy has been pushed from privatization to public space, which has attracted the attention of the book circle. It should be said that music calligraphy presents new symbols, new effects and new images, and has its unique context and discourse text. Compared with pure calligraphy creation, it cares more about the combination of calligraphy and music, and pays more attention to the expression process of music and calligraphy. This combination of music and calligraphy constitutes a complete calligraphy text, which makes music calligraphy more expressive and close to the performance essence of cursive script.
—— Jiang Shoutian, member of the Academic Committee of China Calligraphers Association and deputy editor-in-chief of Calligraphy Guide.
Under the light and shadow environment of the modern stage, Mr. Li Binquan made full use of various musical means to push the calligraphy performance to a more colorful stage for three-dimensional display. Seeing that you are happy to do grass, you are full of enthusiasm and relaxation, and you are very slow. Sometimes you will be shocked by the electricity in Sha Fei, and sometimes you will walk around. This is the legacy of Xu Su. It can be said that this is a major breakthrough in calligraphy performance. Your calligraphy performance should become a new project of modern art performance, which should be strongly advocated and developed continuously. I pay high tribute to Mr. Wang for his painstaking exploration and practice of "music calligraphy" for many years. Cheer for you to become the forerunner of contemporary calligraphy performance and let ancient calligraphy go abroad and go to the world.
—— Huang Jun, academic member and calligraphy theorist of China Calligraphers Association.
I think Li Binquan's exploration and attempt are meaningful. In the context of contemporary multiculturalism, we need calligraphers who insist on learning, as well as calligraphers who go to the stage, society and the public. Calligraphy should be a performing art. In order to improve the performance of calligraphy, it is worth trying and encouraging to learn from music, dance, qigong and martial arts.
-Si Shunwei, former editor-in-chief of Art Newspaper, deputy curator of Zhejiang Art Museum and famous calligraphy critic.
Although "musical calligraphy" belongs to performance art, its behavior is different from juggling and vulgarity. It leads the writing behavior to the elegant art palace, which is exactly what the author said earlier: "I think it should be affirmed." In addition, the holding of "Music Calligraphy" is of great significance to the spread of calligraphy and the marriage between calligraphy and other arts. Westerners always think that China's art is full of infinite mystery. As for calligraphy, it is more fascinating because they don't have it there. Now that they see "musical calligraphy", they have found a breakthrough in appreciating calligraphy, and that is music. They have experience in appreciating music, and then based on this experience, they can promote calligraphy appreciation, which is very enjoyable!
—— Mao, vice president and famous theorist of Lanting Calligraphy Research Institute in Shaoxing, Zhejiang.
Some critics believe that Li Binquan's musical calligraphy is a new art field established at the junction of music and calligraphy. If there is a new peak here, then he is the first person to climb it and has occupied his height. If the construction of this territory conforms to the new law of the development of art, especially calligraphy, then more new people will appear. I agree with this statement. As an artist who first put forward the concept of "musical calligraphy" in China and achieved fruitful results, Li Binquan undoubtedly provided a useful reference for the calligraphy circle. Although there are still some theoretical problems to be discussed in his concept of "musical calligraphy", art lies in innovation, and this spirit of exploration has already had certain research value.
-Qiu Zi (real name Shen Xiaojun), vice chairman of Gansu Calligraphers Association, director of academic committee, and a famous calligraphy theorist.
It can be said that Li Binquan realized a cross-cultural dialogue in the form of calligraphy concert, and opened up the boundary between art and culture. In particular, his Vienna calligraphy concert realized the dialogue between Chinese and Western cultures. Today, when the central government advocates further prosperity of socialist culture, it has decisive demonstration significance.
-Zhu Zhongyuan, a calligraphy theorist and deputy director of the editorial department of China Calligraphy magazine.
The exhibition and dissemination of "Music Calligraphy" is not only the significance of contemporary cultural sociology, but also the significance of art education. The reason why our modern and contemporary art education is difficult to attract attention is that the external society (especially the official) that is not independent of education lacks understanding of the humanistic essence of art and even makes its operation bleak, and art education needs more reflection and criticism. The essence of art education for the whole society is not to create artists, but to cultivate most people with art appreciation ability.
—— Fu, Vice Chairman of Anhui Calligraphers Association
When calligraphy meets music, every Chinese character is full of vitality and rhythm. When music meets calligraphy, every note is a flying line. "The audience is like a mountain lost in itself, and the world moves back and forth with her movements." It is like Gong Sundaniang's long sleeves, flying over the Tang days in Zhang Xu's Weeds and Li Bai's Poems.
—— Peng Shuanglong, Deputy Director of Contemporary calligraphy net News Center
On 20 11March1day, the "Calligraphy and Music Seminar" hosted by the Institute of Fine Arts of the Chinese Academy of Art and undertaken by the Calligraphy Research Office of the Institute of Fine Arts of the Chinese Academy of Art was held in the conference room of the Chinese Academy of Art. At the seminar, experts in the industry exchanged views on the theoretical and practical achievements of calligraphy and music research. Experts attending the meeting discussed the ontology of music and calligraphy, the basic elements of calligraphy and music, the joint point and form of calligraphy and music, and how the combination of calligraphy and music embodies traditional culture and contemporary spirit. This symposium on calligraphy and music will have a positive and far-reaching impact on promoting China culture and developing the art of calligraphy.
Music and calligraphy can communicate with each other, promote each other, inspire each other and improve together. All art is the expression of emotion, and music and calligraphy are the art of expressing emotion, and both have the characteristics of individuality and self-branding. Musicians embody their artistic aesthetics and pursuit of life in performance. Those who know the beauty of music know how to play music, and those who know calligraphy know how to write, which is nothing more than expressing their inner feelings.
Both music and calligraphy have aesthetic functions. Music pays attention to the level of sound, which is very simple, such as height, weight, length, or the formation of rhythm and melody. Calligraphy has no sound, and writing is also formed by points, pauses, weight and thickness, which also achieves aesthetic feeling. I think, on the whole, music and calligraphy are expressions of emotions.
Although music and calligraphy are two different artistic categories, one is visual art and the other is auditory art, they both form beauty in rhythm, balance, change and harmony. Therefore, when expressing emotions, music is written in melody, expressing the author's emotions such as joy, joy, hesitation, anger, passion, vicissitudes and hope. Calligraphy is a silent art, and some theorists have said so. They all express human emotions through their own characteristics. Other aspects, such as architecture, structure, layout, forms and techniques, are also expressed in different ways, but they are basically the same.
-Jin Jingyan Institute of Music, China Academy of Art
Everyone talked a lot just now, and I also gained a lot. In calligraphy, its expression process, that kind of lightness and heaviness, cadence, moves through vision and points and lines. Music is also that kind of cadence, that kind of strength is distinct, and the melody also passes through the dotted line, but one is the auditory dotted line and the other is the visual dotted line. These things are all similar. I believe that musicians and calligraphers not only sit opposite each other, but sometimes they can shake hands.
—— Ceng Laide, Dean of China National Academy of Painting.
Is there any connection between different artistic fields in creation, and how? The first point is definitely related to thinking, which is nothing more than four points: the first is to rely on our feelings, I feel calligraphy and music, and extract something from it to see if there is any possibility and relationship of comparison. Second, from the in-depth analysis of the composition of works, from the very detailed analysis of music composition, from the very detailed analysis of calligraphy composition, we can find the relationship between them, but we still can't see any fruitful ideas before, and we need to continue. The third is the comparison of their aesthetic nature. The fourth is based on the above technical requirements.
-doctoral supervisor of Qiu Zhenzhong Central Academy of Fine Arts.
I think the universe is a big calligraphy and calligraphy is a small universe. Mr. Qian Zhongshu said that music is not to convey emotions, but to convey the heart, which is in line with our calligraphy. In this way, China's music and calligraphy are the characteristics of the same line, and music comes from the sum of heaven and earth. After reading this, I found that both music and calligraphy are our understanding of the world and the universe, and both reflect our understanding of our own living environment. So I thought, calligraphy and music are related, but how to find in our creation, how to find the best fit. We can take our time. And I think every time we listen to music, it will give us an emotional fluctuation.
