Calligraphy, I find it difficult to understand.

Xiong Bingming, a famous sculptor studying in China, said that calligraphy is the core of culture. The understanding of this sentence also needs careful consideration. The core of culture is philosophy. Among the numerous national quintessence arts in China, calligraphy has the most philosophical meaning, is associated with many art forms, reflects and carries the richest cultural information, and has active and lasting vitality. It is the only abstract art that takes Chinese characters as the object of expression and is recognized by the world. Moreover, this abstraction is concrete, visible and readable, and it is the condensation and generalization of China's numerous arts.

In ancient China, poetry, calligraphy, painting and printing were integrated. Chyi Chin's calligraphy and painting are the basic skills of literati, and calligraphy, as a writing tool, is inseparable, and it is a scholar's housekeeping skill. Four Treasures of the Study, pen and ink, is a plaything used by literati to pass the time. This alone carries a wealth of cultural information. The pen is divided into wolf, sheep, concurrently, mink and rat tail, the ink is divided into turpentine, and the inkstone is divided into head and tail. Paper, or writing medium, is Oracle Bone Inscriptions, bronzes, bamboo slips, ceramic tiles, silk, jade, silk, Xuan paper, leather paper, handmade paper and so on. The content of writing is extremely rich, including inscriptions, inscriptions, bricks, poems, paintings, couplets, calligraphy, letters, judgments, statues and so on.

In ancient times, literature, history, philosophy, aesthetics and religion were highly unified and inseparable. Politicians are all related to calligraphy, not to mention Wang Youjun, Yan Zhenqing, Su Dongpo and Zhao Ziang. Just mentioning Li Shimin, Evonne, Qianlong and Mao Zedong is enough to make you think. You can think of an ancient name at will, and you can find his name by flipping through a history of calligraphy or a brief history of calligraphy written by anyone. It can be said that a history of calligraphy is a history of politics, culture, philosophy and literature. Therefore, we can say that calligraphy is a key to China culture and a shortcut to touch and explore China culture.

We often say that calligraphy is the most Zen. In the history of calligraphy in China, there are two most representative Zen masters, one is Zhiyong and the other is Hongyi. Li Shutong studied western painting, chess, calligraphy and painting in foreign countries, and did everything he could, but eventually he converted to Buddhism, and all the arts were hidden. Calligraphy was the only one in his life, which showed the charm of calligraphy. In fact, I don't know what Zen is, but one of the biggest characteristics of Zen is that it is similar to calligraphy, that is? Enlightenment? . Whether you are learning calligraphy or appreciating calligraphy, you must rely on one. Enlightenment? Some people can get started in three to five years, while others may never learn? Tao? This is normal.

At present, there is often a debate between tradition and modernity, and between ancient and fashion. In my opinion, it is actually? ""? Disaster, words are simplified again and again, breaking capitalism, killing calligraphy and breaking the context. In the 1980s, there was a craze for calligraphy. However, due to the limitation of printing and understanding, Yan Liu Ou Zhao's books are regarded as enlightening works, and many of us regard them as bibles and traditions, but we know little about the calligraphy of the two kings, Su Huang's camouflage, and even the calligraphers of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, so that there is a joke that Xi's calligraphy is hidden and regarded as a popular calligraphy style. Today's steles are beautifully printed, rich in versions and dazzling in eyes. Archaeological discoveries of cultural relics in past dynasties, coupled with the reference of folk calligraphy, are unprecedentedly rich in nutrition. Delicious delicacies and grains are naturally colorful in the book world, which should be a blessing rather than a departure from tradition.

Now, however, a good hand has been destroyed by the computer? ,? Is that the word hammer? The era of calligraphy has basically come to an end, the practicality and instrumentality of calligraphy have faded, and calligraphy seems to have lost its original soil. Calligraphy, like literature, has become more pure and artistic, and even become a writer's narcissism. But for calligraphy itself, I don't know if this is a bad thing or a good thing. In my opinion, there is no need to worry about the development of calligraphy. First, we have a huge working team, and there are tens of thousands of people attending book fairs in any country, not to mention the recognition of South Korea, Japan and other countries in the world; Second, calligraphy has been rooted in the blood of the nation and in all walks of life and people; Third, calligraphy entered the major of art colleges, and the academic school undoubtedly played a backbone or leading role in the inheritance and research of calligraphy; Fourth, with the development of economy, the improvement of national quality, or the artistry of the rich, calligraphy provides a broad market. What is worrying is that many writers become writers because of their lack of humanistic quality. They can learn technical things, but extra-curricular efforts are hard to make up for. Therefore, it is difficult to have great calligraphers handed down from generation to generation. Calligraphy should keep pace with the times, innovate and explore, and it should be a big topic for generations, not a slogan, not to mention labeling and self-styled.

Calligraphy, as an art, is related to many arts, reflects the universal laws of many arts and contains the core content of China culture. Learning and appreciating calligraphy can be a shortcut to improve humanistic quality, and her artistic beauty and philosophical beauty are inexhaustible. Calligraphy is a flowing building and a space art with lines as its form of expression. The structural space of Chinese characters and composition is endless. As far as the form is concerned, there are banners, vertical axes, bucket squares, sectors, hand scrolls and album pages. Calligraphy is silent music and visible rhythm. The independence and reflection of words have the rhythm of poetry, the disconnection of pens, the flowing of clouds, the long snake of pens and the consistency of qi. A calm person, like Xizhi? It's sunny and sunny? Grieving like a swallow? The child was trapped, the father died, and the nest fell? Sad as Dongpo? Cook cold dishes in the air and wet reeds in the kitchen? Just like reciting a poem and playing a piano, it's all about expressing feelings and venting.

Calligraphy is philosophy, the unity of many artistic contradictions, and the dialectics of art, which is a well-known basic law, that is, dryness and righteousness, emptiness and reality, subjectivity and inferiority, qi and rhyme, spirit and quality, clumsiness and cleverness, ugliness and flattery, life and familiarity, sparseness and secrecy, action and retention, illness and emptiness, thirst and writing and ink; No work to work, no work to work; Coarse is not heavy, fine is not heavy; Know white and keep black, count white and black; If you leave, don't leave, just leave; Appearance first, modeling second; From birth to maturity, from maturity; Heart and hand set each other off, I forget things; The past never forgets the future, and the Tao is natural.

Calligraphy art, artistic calligraphy. It is not a simple word game. Now the instrumentality of calligraphy has degenerated, and the rest is pure artistry. Therefore, the breakthrough of space, the exploration of composition, the emphasis on ink color, the requirement of texture, the innovation of form and the application of new materials have all reached an unprecedented level. Is that what we always say? Popular book style? Some people may say that this is the pursuit of the end, but it should be noted that this is a great impetus to calligraphy innovation. Moreover, there are also writing spirits, ideas and schools that return to tradition in calligraphy. Diversification is becoming the basic feature of contemporary consciousness, and the exploration of techniques is endless.

Technology is not everything, but you can't do anything without technology. Of course, calligraphy, like the economy, ultimately strives for culture.

Prose works related to calligraphy: attached to calligraphy

I first wrote calligraphy four years ago, at the beginning of 20 12. Winter still hangs over the earth. I wanted to have nothing to do at the weekend, so I went to Fuxi Temple Pedestrian Street. When I walked into an alley not far from the west gate, I was suddenly attracted by a clear calligraphy couplet. What is the specific content has now been forgotten. At that time, I only felt that the brushwork was vigorous and powerful, which was a standard.

I knocked on the door and went in to see the calligraphy teacher sitting in the middle of the room talking with a friend about calligraphy teaching. The walls around him are covered with students' works, including regular script, running script, Yan Zhenqing's font, Chu Suiliang's font and Wang Xizhi's font. Full calligraphy makes people see the traces of learning calligraphy step by step, which makes people love calligraphy more, as if they had entered floating ink.

? Want to learn calligraphy? Teacher Wang seems to see through my inner thoughts.

? Want to learn! ? I'll answer right away.

? It is a long process to write calligraphy well, and we must persist in it for a long time. ?

? I will! ?

So Mr. Wang took out several font posts to see which famous font I like. Finally, I chose Zhao Mengfu's Danba North. The font of "Danba Cup" is warm and smooth, beautiful and smart, rigorous and not blind. Is a simple regular script copybook, very suitable for adult beginners.

Since then, I have formed an indissoluble bond with calligraphy. Calligraphy is a kind of edification to people's mind. Every time I mention the brush, I always feel awe. When I first started practicing, I wrote regular script, and the characters were very independent, just like an unruly person. Besides grasping the details, I must also grasp the overall effect, just like the five senses on a person's face. Individuals are independent, but together they form an effect. If they are not only beautiful, but also harmonious as a whole, there will be a natural and graceful aesthetic feeling, just like a girl's deep red face, tender and tender.

Writing calligraphy can also tell life, what kind of personality, what kind of wind and rain you have experienced, it seems to be reflected in calligraphy, so there is? Like this? This statement. Some people write about vicissitudes of life, and at first glance they know that they have rich life experience. Some people write pearl jadeite, which is comfortable and exquisite at first sight. Reading words and posts is like reading people and things, or being sophisticated and accommodating, or being bold and restrained, majestic as an eagle, galloping like a horse, and fragrant as a flower, all in words. It is a carefree enjoyment to write a painting full of pen and ink while drinking tea.

Calligraphy and poetry are also in the same strain. When they are attached to a certain degree, they enter the creative stage of calligraphy. Generally, they write poems, such as Tang poetry and Song poetry, which can't help but remind people? Have a heart full of pen and ink, full of poetry books? . Poetry is beautiful, calligraphy is heavy, and the combination of calligraphy and poetry makes the artistic atmosphere of life sublimate constantly, condensing into a euphemistic ballad, or a tasteful work, which is thought-provoking, or a charming and free-and-easy dance, full of youth.

Now four years have passed. Although it is short, it is of great significance. Calligraphy has become an indispensable companion in my life. He accompanied me through spring, summer, autumn and winter, took me wandering in the ocean of words and poems, accompanied me through the most precious years of my life, and accompanied me to write down joys and sorrows in countless brightly lit nights. Practicing calligraphy enriches my life and inspires my love for life. I would like to keep my original promise and pass on my infinite sincerity to calligraphy!
