He Manzong, Vice Chairman of Hunan Federation of Literary and Art Circles and Chairman of Hunan Calligraphers Association.

Innovation is an eternal theme.

Realm is an unusual continuous improvement of display effect. To be different, we must constantly innovate.

Cui Guoqiang is the kind of person who has the desire for innovation, courage and achievements.

1985, Hunan Young Calligraphers Association was established; 1988, Hunan Hard Pen Calligraphers Association was established. Guoqiang has always been my staunch supporter and an active doer of association affairs. For a long time, he served as the vice chairman of the two associations, shouldering the responsibilities of the secretary-general of the two associations, bravely, carefully and tacitly cooperated with me and fought side by side with everyone. Successfully held the National Hard Pen Calligraphy Exhibition of the Year of the Horse, the National Calligraphy Competition of the Asian Games Tengfei Cup, the Mao Zedong Calligraphy Art Seminar, and the National Calligraphy Competition of Road Culture, and published the China Hard Pen Calligraphy Newspaper, which has an important influence in the whole country, which promoted the development of calligraphy and improved the taste of Hunan calligraphy circles. Guoqiang has served as the chairman of Hunan Hard Pen Calligraphers Association. I look forward to his pursuit of innovation to create a new world of hard pen calligraphy.

Dedicated, advocating for the cause of * * * and * *. Guoqiang said: "If you love the art of calligraphy, you must make selfless contributions to its prosperity and development." Hard Pen Calligraphers Association is a non-governmental organization. Like most NGOs, it is troubled by the development of its career and the lack of resources. What should we do? Thinking is the way out: everyone gathers firewood and the flames are high, and everyone's efforts are used to do everyone's things. The head of the association is also a dedicated leader. Guoqiang, as the chairman, took the lead in donating money, followed by other vice-chairmen, executive directors and directors, and dedicated himself to becoming a member of the association. The last thing that can't be opposed is that the association clearly stipulates that this paragraph can only be used for publishing collections, holding exhibitions and building calligraphy websites, and can't be used to buy cigarettes, wine and meals, even if it is reasonable. In this way, the start-up funds for career expansion are basically solved, and all the funds are actually used for career expansion. 10 "Calligraphy Month", there will be a series of exhibitions, books and websites of "calligraphers" in the society, and she will blow into the hearts of every calligrapher and enthusiast like a warm wind.

Do great things, do things that can leave traces of history. Officers should do great things and do things that can leave a deep impression on people. Guoqiang is starting his first action: to build a brand called "Calligraphy Calligrapher". The specific operations are as follows: establish the website of "Calligraphy Calligrapher" to make it a platform and window for brand publicity, exchange and display; Hold a series of calligraphy exhibitions of "Calligraphy Calligraphers" to make it a training ground and an artistic "parade ground" for the owners of this brand; Published a series of calligraphy works of Calligraphy Calligrapher, making it the "Forbidden City" and "Museum" of this brand. Through three parallel, high-quality and continuous impacts, we are determined to make Calligraphy Calligrapher a bright spot in the army of Hunan Calligraphy Association and a spiritual home for future generations to learn and explore.

Clever planning, hobbies and their own work complement each other.

Guoqiang said: "Throughout the ages, there have been few professional calligraphers and many amateurs; There are few professional achievers and many amateur achievers. Professional achievers have less influence and amateur achievers have much greater influence. " So besides doing his job well, he devoted all his spare time to his hobbies. He said: "The copybooks, theoretical books and large-scale activities he published were all completed under his busy work. The busier he is, the more precious his spare time is, and the more afraid he will lose it overnight, so he does something. The more idle I am, the less anxious I am. I feel that time is abundant, and if I drag on, nothing will succeed. " Looking back on my own experience, I agree with Guoqiang's experience. My work and hobbies do not conflict, but complement each other. As long as the position is suitable, business hobbies can promote my work. At that time, Comrade Mao Zedong left so many poems, calligraphy and theoretical writings on horseback, which not only did not affect his work, but became an inseparable part of his great personality. Looking at Guoqiang again, it is true that his calligraphy and his job complement each other. His work is good, which is not my subjective guess. My good friend Mr. Wu Jihai, who has been the boss of Guoqiang for nearly four years, once praised me: Guoqiang is good at Chinese characters!

Guoqiang's calligraphy is both hard and soft, each with its own characteristics. There is no lack of modernity in classicism, and there is no lack of dignified temperament in chic. I don't need to flatter them too much. Mr. Shen Peng, the former chairman of the National Calligraphy Association, wrote this expectation in the preface of his book "China cursive script" with a brush: "Comrade Cui Guoqiang ... will definitely contribute to the construction of the calligraphy building." We are also looking forward to it.

It takes skill to discover the truth, and courage to stick to it.

Guoqiang has the wisdom to discover the truth, the courage to uphold the truth and the ability to practice the truth. This is the realm of Cui Guoqiang. Life is like this, what can you expect?

The Artistic Beauty of Cui Guoqiang's Calligraphy

Watching Mr. Cui Guoqiang's calligraphy works is characterized by paying attention to profound artistic beauty. From his calligraphy works, we can see his idea and pursuit of creating artistic beauty.

In the art of calligraphy, the meaning of emotions is implied in the context of pen and ink, and calligraphy works only rely on the abstract external image composed of black and white. The emotional expression of the creator is not directly revealed, but indirectly implied. Cui Guoqiang carries his endless feelings in a limited and simple space with the help of simple and simple material carriers. The so-called "a thousand miles" is intended to leave people with infinite space for association and aftertaste beyond the image, leading the viewer to ponder the author's "meaning", imagining the "realm" implied by pen and ink stippling, and communicating effectively with the viewer through his lines.

In the practice of Cui Guoqiang's calligraphy art, we have seen the author's surging and restrained creative passion, splashing ink without rash treatment, and the momentum is not wanton and wild, which not only has considerable visual tension, but also has intriguing imagination space, leading us into a gorgeous and plain realm.

Mr. He Manzong, Chairman of Hunan Calligraphy Association, commented on Cui Guoqiang's calligraphy: "There is no lack of modernity in classicality, and dignified temperament in chic."

Calligraphy is the art of lines. Zhong You, a calligrapher in the Three Kingdoms period, said: "Calligraphy is also a world, and so are beautiful people ... seeing everything." From the handwriting of a painting, the beauty of everything is revealed, that is, the beauty of people's hearts. For example, Cui Guoqiang wrote his own poem "Xiangjiang Fu": Yuelu Lingchuan is like a dragon, the blue waves are mighty to Dongting, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the Xiangjiang River is a rainbow. Bend the pen around, use proper ink, the quality of lines is clumsy, the brushwork is full and the tightness is moderate. The layout is ethereal, and the unity of content and form is pursued skillfully, which can be described as a combination of poetry and books and a long artistic conception.

First of all, Cui Guoqiang is good at creating artistic beauty by using rules and regulations. Calligraphy works are multi-word combination, paying attention to white cloth on branches. The first impression a work gives is the overall artistic effect of composition and layout. Even if the same content adopts different layout forms, it will form different artistic effects. This is closely related to the rhythm of writing, the change of ink color, the adjustment of pen power and the operation of rhythm. Cui Guoqiang is good at constructing a balanced and unified whole of calligraphy works through the size, length, expansion, opening and closing of fonts, and even the changes of the pen, Ji Xu and Mo Yun. He knows "reason" and "law", which is changeable, so that "rules are exhausted and changes are born", which is beyond jurisprudence and superb. In Li Bai's book "The First Posting of Baidi City", he pays great attention to the balance of the situation, full of breath, informal pen and ink, rewarding in the play and quiet in the movement; The line thickness changes greatly, the ink color is well controlled, black and white alternate with each other, and the reality and reality coexist, which is unified and harmonious as a whole. The creator's abundant passion appropriately expressed the poet Li Bai's emotion and realized the ingenious combination of sensibility and rationality.

Secondly, he is good at expressing emotions in form and creating artistic conception. Calligraphy art is a meaningful art form with stippling lines as the means of expression. Different shapes of lines will give people different aesthetic feelings. Cui Guoqiang understands that the art of calligraphy not only pays attention to its straight appearance, but also explores the deeper beauty of the lines themselves, such as strength, weight, shade and dryness. The quality of brushwork is an important factor affecting the vitality of calligraphy works. Without brushwork, the whole work will look lifeless, exhausted and without artistic beauty. Cui Guoqiang's calligraphy pays attention to the strength of bones, penetrates the back of paper, and uses high-quality stippling to express the meaning and charm of characters. Although the appearance is unpretentious, the inside is skinny, delicate and gentle, giving people a rich and full sense of art, calm and dignified, hearty and commensurate with flesh and blood.

Third, the pen is the best. Exquisite brushwork is an important factor for a work to withstand long-term reading, careful examination and repeated taste. Whether stippling has changed in form is an important sign to evaluate brushwork, and these changes in form are all produced under the action of pen gesture. Different changes in form can give viewers different artistic feelings. Looking at Cui Guoqiang's calligraphy, his brushwork is not only closely related to the eternal "center", but also ingenious, unpredictable, unpredictable, both in form and spirit, which makes people fall in love at first sight and never tire of reading. Viewers can feel its rich and natural artistic beauty through the quality of pen and ink. In a word, watching Mr. Cui Guoqiang's calligraphy works is like walking into the grand view garden of art, where there are gardens and landscapes, which make people interested and dizzying, especially the profound and novel artistic conception, which makes people deeply intoxicated.

The pursuit of art is endless, and there is a distance from one's own requirements. He is still pursuing and exploring tirelessly, and I very much agree with the expectation of Mr. Shen Peng, the former chairman of China Book Association: Comrade Guoqiang's paving spirit will definitely contribute to the construction of cursive script in China.

The writer is Shao Guoshu, deputy director of the General Office of Hunan Provincial People's Government.

Cui Guoqiang, a famous calligrapher, expresses the spirit of life and writes the chapter of heaven and earth/Feng Xiao Wang Yali.

Confucius once said: Knowing is not as good as being kind, and being kind is not as good as being happy. All scientists and artists who have achieved great success at all times and in all countries have a strong interest in their careers. For example, Levin Hooke of the Netherlands invented the microscope because he liked lenses, thus creating microbiology; Jean Henri Casimir Fabre, a Frenchman, was attracted by insects since he was a child, and later became an entomologist and animal behaviorist. Under the guidance of hobbies, the big ones will make you make small achievements in this field, while the small ones will cultivate your temperament and beautify your life. For Cui Guoqiang, calligraphy is such a hobby that is hard to give up. As a government official, Cui Guoqiang strives to find a meeting point between his work and artistic creation. At that time, Chairman Mao still loved poetry and calligraphy during the war, and Yuan Longping never forgot the violin in his heart during his hard struggle. It can be said that his hobby not only made their career, but also became an inseparable part of their great personality. Today, Cui Guoqiang's hobbies and work complement each other. He used his spare time to practice calligraphy. He used to be the chairman of Hunan Hard Pen Calligraphers Association and the vice chairman of China Hard Pen Calligraphers Association, which provoked the heavy responsibility of promoting traditional calligraphy art. Cui Guoqiang was born in Lanxi, Yiyang, a member of the presidium of Hunan Calligraphers Association and director of the academic Committee. He was awarded the titles of "Top Ten Young Calligraphers in Hunan", "Calligrapher with Outstanding Achievements in Hard Pen Calligraphy in Hunan" and "Artist Who Influenced China 100" by the Art Center of the Ministry of Culture. The works were presented to Japanese, Korean, Singaporean and other national leaders, Hongkong, Taiwan Province and other regions, or presented as gifts to foreign friendly delegations such as museums and art galleries for exhibition and collection. He has published a series of personal works and copybooks such as China cursive script, founded an online calligraphy calligrapher, and edited China Hard Pen Calligraphy Newspaper, People's Art, Hunan Daily and China Hard Pen Calligraphy. Mr. Cui Guoqiang's calligraphy, with its overall atmosphere and perfect details, vividly shows the beauty of combining rigidity with softness and the combination of motion and static. Looking at his works from a distance, I only feel vigorous and powerful; Close look at the details, but the meaning of the word looks forward to it, like a beautiful woman. In the meantime, Fiona Fang's charm of hiding dew and advancing and retreating, light and fine, thick and wet and astringent, cadence and cadence, gathering and dispersing, and sparse style show the ever-changing infinite charm of pen and ink. Mr. Wang's calligraphy was deeply influenced by Wang Xizhi's father and son, Huai Su, Liu Gongquan, Huang Tingjian, Mi Fei, Wang Duo and other calligraphers. But he learned it from ancient times and didn't think about it. He boldly innovated on the basis of Mi Fei's principle of "being steady, not strange, not old and not fat", and showed a strong modern flavor and a unique sense of rhythm in writing and writing. Mr. Li Li, a famous stone calligrapher and painter, commented: "Being traditional, with profound skill, strong sense of innovation and appealing to both refined and popular tastes, is liked by calligraphers and calligraphy lovers." For Mr Cui Guoqiang, writing is not boring. On the contrary, he can feel endless fun in dripping ink. Over the years, he has been obsessed with calligraphy and often practiced it until late at night. He believes: "Calligraphy should be the accumulation and feeling of life, the activity and revelation of the soul, and the condensation and release of passion." At the same time, he also insisted that "calligraphy is the people's art and must serve the people, social development, economic prosperity and the progress of the times". So, how to make calligraphy interesting and meaningful? In Mr. Wang's view, the key lies in the following three points. First, calligraphy must go to life. Chairman Mao emphasized in "Speech at Yan 'an Forum on Literature and Art" that art comes from life. Therefore, drawing something that is activated is easily accepted by the people. On the contrary, only engaged in the spring snow, few people care. The calligraphy work "Go with the Flow" hanging in Mr. Wang's office not only expresses the truth of life, but also adds a touch of book fragrance close to life to this empty place. Second, calligraphy must keep pace with the times. Shi Tao, a famous painter in the early Qing Dynasty, once said that "pen and ink should keep pace with the times", and so did calligraphy. Only by being branded with the times can we show the present practical significance and future historical significance, such as Yan Zhenqing's "Sacrifice to My Nephew" and Wang Xizhi's "Preface to Lanting". Inspired by this, Mr. Cui Guoqiang learned the skills of the ancients and recorded the dribs and drabs of today's life in the form of Mo Bao's poems, such as Thoughts on Popularizing Biogas in Rural Areas, which is the best example. He Manzong, chairman of Hunan Calligraphy Association, commented on Mr. Cui Guoqiang's calligraphy as "there is no lack of modern flavor in classicism, but dignified temperament in chic". Third, calligraphy must serve the society and contribute to the prosperity of the economy. In addition to participating in public welfare activities such as disaster relief, Teacher Guoqiang cares about the people and has organized or participated in activities such as calligraphy going to the countryside, calligraphy entering the military camp and calligraphy entering the campus. At the same time, with the website of "Calligraphy Calligrapher" as the carrier, we will build it into the home of calligraphy lovers, the cradle of calligrapher's growth, the platform of publicity and the window of communication with the society. According to the characteristics of rural teaching, online distance education has greatly improved the popularity of calligraphy. Moreover, in order to make calligraphy better serve the society, Mr. Cui Guoqiang explored the road of "brand calligraphy" and skillfully combined calligraphy art with corporate image, which not only promoted the traditional calligraphy art, but also publicized corporate culture, launched products, endowed calligraphy and enterprises with new vitality and created a win-win situation. After unremitting efforts, the book Brand Calligraphy was officially published by Hunan People's Publishing House in 2008, which was widely praised by all walks of life. Mr. Cui Guoqiang was also known as "the first person of brand calligraphy in China". At the same time, as the president of the association, Mr. Cui Guoqiang still does not forget to cultivate new people while pursuing calligraphy. Shen Peng, a famous calligrapher, commented that "there is a spirit of paving stones". Indeed, Mr. Cui Guoqiang strives to create opportunities for newcomers, cultivate them with heart, and let the seeds of calligraphy sprout earlier. "Make calligraphy a success," Mr. Wang said. In his view, the association is a collection of like-minded people. Members should have team spirit, influence each other's study and improve through consultation. Only in this way, the association will be better and better, and it can achieve the grand occasion of letting a hundred flowers blossom. Mr. Cui Guoqiang's achievements in calligraphy are obvious to all, but he is neither arrogant nor impetuous, and is willing to indulge in his own calligraphy world. Through continuous creative practice and theoretical exploration, with the idea of knowing the gains and losses, knowing the origin and getting the essence, he has published personal works such as China's cursive script essentials and Huang Tingjian's cursive script techniques, as well as copybooks such as Students' Calligraphy with a Pen, Multifunctional Calligraphy with a Pen, Urban and Rural Practical Calligraphy with a Pen, and Calligraphy with a Pen Structure. He hopes to help more through his own efforts. To oneself, Mr. Wang is sincere, sincere and self-cultivation; He is sincere, generous and helpful to others. This also makes his calligraphy as gentle as his own. Its words are delicate, unpredictable, swaying with essays, and vigorous and full, penetrating the back of the paper, creating an artistic beauty that combines static and dynamic, and virtual and real. In the pen, the lines are chic and simple, bold and delicate, but they are all true feelings. A wonderful pen expresses the spirit of life with hearty pen and ink, and writes the chapter of everything in the world!
