2065438+At the beginning of 2002, Zhang Huanqian, a grass-roots calligrapher, published "Four-body Pen Copybook for calligraphy" at his own expense. This "copybook" is his affectionate review of his dreams and his affectionate confession of his life. There is a stationery store called Yitong Stationery near Jiaheyuan Community of Urumqi Oil Transportation Company. The owner of the stationery store is Zhang Huangan. In 2009, the reporter heard that because of his good handwriting, someone came to ask for words. At the beginning of 20 12, the reporter heard that he had published a copybook, so he found the stationery store he opened.

Walking into the store, a dazzling array of stationery caught the reporter's eye. There is a pile of books on the glass counter. The reporter picked up a book and read it. The title is "Four-body Pen Copybook for calligraphy". An old man just bought a book. Zhang Huangan picked up a pen and wrote the words "health is a blessing" on the title page.

After the old man left, the reporter showed Zhang Huangan his intention, and then he had a pleasant conversation with the reporter. "After the publication of copybook, it has also realized a wish I have had for many years." He said.

The reporter flipped through the "copybook" with four fonts: official script, cursive script, running script and regular script, each of which is pleasing to the eye. There is a saying that "life is like a word, and words are like life". When Zhang Huanqian told reporters about his life experience, they were deeply touched. This sentence is more suitable for him.

Falling paper clouds, freehand brushwork life.

The official script is solemn, the writing effect is slightly wide and flat, the horizontal painting is long and straight and short, and it grows into a square, paying attention to "silkworm head and goose tail" and "twists and turns". Before the age of 20, Zhang Huanqian's life experience was "full of twists and turns" like an official script.

Zhang Huangan's hometown was in Chongqing, and later his family moved to a rural area in Qitai County, Changji Prefecture, Xinjiang. When Zhang Huanqian was in high school in Qitai No.2 Middle School, his academic performance was always among the best in his grade. Not only did he get excellent academic performance, but he was also assigned the task of sending blackboard newspapers to classes and schools every time because of his good handwriting.

Because there are five children at home, it seems difficult for parents to provide them with opportunities to go to school. In order to earn tuition, Zhang Huangan often uses his summer vacation to beat clods. He said, "It costs 3 cents to hit a clod, but I am strong and fast. I can often earn seven or eight hundred in a summer vacation. " Nevertheless, in the second year of high school, Zhang Huanqian was forced to drop out of school due to family financial pressure.

Cursive script, with simple structure and continuous strokes, has the characteristics of "keeping the outline of words, damaging official rules, fleeing in a hurry and leaving in a hurry", which often gives people a feeling of being wild and uninhibited. Zhang Huanqian after the age of 20 is probably like this.

1992, when Zhang Huanqian was 20 years old, he came to strange Urumqi from Qitai County alone.

As a newcomer, because of his good handwriting, he was introduced by a friend and entered a handicraft factory. Two months working in an art factory has made Zhang Huanqian look back. He said: "The salary is very small, and there are only two cakes for food every day."

Later, Zhang Huanqian moved to a well-known local decoration company, and his life gradually got on the right track. After work, he likes wrestling. There are more than 0/00 male employees in the company, and none of them can wrestle with him. "It is undeniable that practicing calligraphy requires good arm strength and wrist strength to hold the pen steadily and the written words look good."

A year later, Zhang Huanqian resigned, and he began to take on some advertising decoration and home decoration. As more and more jobs were taken away, his pockets gradually bulged. With money, Zhang Huangan began to squander his money and youth on the pool table with friends.

Gradually, Zhang Huanqian was no longer satisfied with the life of "small wealth means security". He wants to go to a big city on the mainland. So, 1995, he went to Shenzhen alone. There, with a pair of meaningful hands, he not only earned a rich income, but also won the heart of Liu Hongxia, who later became his wife.

1997, when Zhang Huanqian's career and love were very close in Qi Fei, he received a phone call from his mother, so he and Liu Hongxia packed their bags in a hurry and rushed back to Qitai County. "In 2000, my mother died. She had a rough life and didn't enjoy any happiness in the end. " The past is vivid, and Zhang Huanqian regrets his ill-fated and capricious fate.

A classic literary work often contains the author's deep thinking about life and life, so does calligraphy. Its artistic conception is to reflect the writer's life sentiment, exert strength, return to the forefront and collect the pen in writing. Wandering life and ups and downs of life have accumulated rich experience for Zhang Huanqian to become a calligrapher in the future.

Calligrapher of stationery store

Running script is a font between regular script and cursive script, which is produced to make up for the slow writing speed of regular script and the illegible cursive script. It is not as scribbled as cursive script, nor as dignified as regular script. After the age of 30, Zhang Huanqian is like a running script, less reckless and more calm and calm.

1999, 30-year-old Zhang Huangan and his wife Liu Hongxia opened a stationery store called Yitong Stationery near Beiyuanchun Market in Urumqi. In 2005, the stationery store moved to the neighborhood of Jiayousi Jiahe Garden. When there are no customers in the store, Zhang Huangan practices calligraphy on the counter, and he also binds his calligraphy works into "copybooks". "At that time, I felt that my handwriting was good and I wanted to be recognized by others. I took the' copybook' and went to Wuhan to find several famous calligraphers and wanted them to give some advice."

During his stay in Wuhan, Zhang Huangan showed "copybooks" to some calligraphers, and their comments were the same: "Your handwriting is not so good." Calligraphers' disdainful words poured on Zhang Huanqian's head like a pot of cold water.

"Before 2005, I wrote in my own style. After I came back, I began to copy ancient posts, such as Liu Gongquan, a calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty who was as famous as Yan Zhenqing. " Zhang Huanqian said that in fact, the practice of calligraphy should pay attention to "advanced before going out". "Advanced" means copying the calligraphy works of famous artists, and learning to use, transport and write first. These are all for laying the foundation, either imitating other people's handwriting or writing well. The ultimate goal of practicing calligraphy is "independence", that is, "going out".

In 2007, Zhang Huangan came to Chengdu with her 6-year-old daughter Zhang, hoping to get some advice from famous calligraphers and improve her calligraphy level by going up a storey still higher. In the same year, a small shop named "Famous Pen Shop with Thousand Characters" was opened in Hanjiang Road, Qingyang District, Chengdu, mainly dealing in high-end brand pens such as Parker, Hero and Crocodile. When there are no customers, he practices calligraphy in the shop. He also hangs his brush calligraphy works in the shop for sale. Many prices are three or four hundred yuan each. "In Chengdu, as long as the word is good, others will not care if you are a famous artist, so they will buy it."

Just as Zhang Huanqian confidently started his second venture in Chengdu, in 2008, the "5. 12 Wenchuan Earthquake" occurred. For a time, the earthquake in Chengdu was also very strong. "The terrible thing is not the earthquake, but the rumors about the earthquake. At that time, I heard rumors and felt uneasy. No way, my daughter and I have to go back to Urumqi. "

The Birth of Four-body Pen Copybook for calligraphy

Regular script, its glyph is relatively square, unlike the flat shape written in official script. Regular script is still the reference standard of modern calligraphy in China, and another writing method-pen character has also developed. Zhang Huanqian knew that his life was as regular as regular script, and his pursuit of calligraphy finally came to fruition.

In 20 12, Zhang huanqian published "four-body pen Copybook for calligraphy" at his own expense, and finally realized his dream. On the cover of the copybook, he quoted Mark Twain's famous saying: "Dreams used to be beautiful, but the reality is often different." For Zhang Huanqian, the publication of Four-body Pen Copybook for calligraphy was actually an "accident".

After returning to Urumqi from Chengdu, Zhang Huangan and his wife, Liu Hongxia, insisted on practicing calligraphy while continuing to run a stationery store. Because of the good handwriting, customers are full of praise. Some calligraphy lovers even come to the shop to ask for calligraphy, and Zhang Huan will come everywhere. Gradually, more people asked questions, and Zhang Huanqian was at a loss. Some of them wanted him to be their children's teacher, but Zhang Huanqian refused. Someone even "threatened" him: "If you don't teach your child to practice calligraphy, you won't buy anything in your store in the future." Zhang Huanqian said: "There are not many children who really want to learn calligraphy, and even fewer can persevere. Many children are forced to practice calligraphy by their parents. My interest is not here, and my calligraphy is not good, so I naturally refused. "

Because he refused to accept an apprentice, a customer suggested to him, "Why don't you publish this copybook so that our children can learn from it." After careful consideration, Zhang Huanqian finally adopted this suggestion. So, from 20 1 1, he squatted on the counter every day to write templates, even ignoring the business in the store. He said: "For example, running script pays attention to form, structure and brushwork in one go. If the pen is broken in the middle, it will definitely not look good. "

When Zhang Huanqian writes the template, every word strives for perfection. If one word in a template is unsatisfactory, the whole template will be invalidated and rewritten. After three months, he wrote thousands of templates, and finally only a small part was printed into copybooks. Zhang Huanqian said, "The four-body pen Copybook for calligraphy was delivered to the store in February, and now more than 900 copies have been sold. I published this copybook at my own expense, and I never thought about making money with it, because it realized one of my dreams. "
