Jin Xiu's inscription continues to be virtuous, and the ancient and modern biography is authentic —— Record the famous calligrapher Cheng Songhua
Calligraphy pays attention to inheritance, so it is necessary to repair the inscription. However, from the aspect of calligraphy practice, it is a rather boring and long process to learn from ancient customs. Therefore, calligraphers who learn from ancient customs for a long time need extraordinary perseverance support. Without the practice of sitting on a bench for 30 years, there will never be a great achievement in learning from ancient customs. Mr. Cheng Songhua, a famous contemporary calligrapher, is a firm practitioner who studies ancient times for a long time. He takes Fa Tie as the foundation, ancient monuments as the source, and affixes both monuments, thus obtaining a composite background of calligraphy that combines rigidity and softness, is vigorous and elegant, and has become a calligraphy that originates from the inscription and is built on the contemporary masterpiece.He studied calligraphy from the ancients, taking the literati style of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy as the core, and his writing was elegant and graceful. Zhao Ziang's regular script of law is well-versed. He also made an exhaustive exploration of Sanxi Hall's calligraphy posts. The style of Bo Yuan, the charm of Mid-Autumn Festival and Xin Ruo, who is clear in snow, were all absorbed by him as the constituent elements of his own calligraphy style, and he gained the fruitful calligraphy achievements of the sages of Fayuan, who pursued their talents and made great efforts to achieve high accomplishments.
Look at the strength of a calligraphy foundation, don't talk much, just intuitively regular script. Regular script is useless, and everything is out of the question. This should be the golden key to test true calligraphers and pseudo calligraphers. Cheng Songhua copied the classics in lower case, merged into the liugu and cut into the Yan Jin. The lower case is big in bearing, small and informal, and its breath is open. It is full of quality, the main pen is Zhao Ti's escape, and it is also thin and hard. When you intervene in Zhong Shao's composition, you can write the state of Lingfei generously. From the beginning to the end, you can see the pen and the pen, and every word is Chint, without any disadvantages or any illness. As soon as regular script came to a close, Cheng Songhuaji went after the original style of inscription for decades, and his achievements were higher than others. Therefore, he can feel solemnly that he is a strength school of calligraphy, which is undisputed. Contemporary people, just as Tian Yunzhang, who is a regular script master, said: Only regular script can make achievements.His running script is fluent, and he pays great attention to the center's skill of ink injection. Every time he holds the pen, he always intends to write first and volley down, showing the swift and dynamic feeling of autumn eagle escaping. And this kind of thinking and practice of writing is just the harvest of learning the preface to Lanting and the preface to holy teachings all the year round. Wang Xizhi wrote Lanting with pleasure and skill.
Cheng Songhua spent a long time in sharpening his brushwork, so his brushwork was skillful and natural, and his running script was written like satin, with a quality like brocade, flowing linearly and in one go. Although he was not a little drunk and endowed with Lanting, he was free and happy to write Tiange, and his magic rhythm and movement in his pen and ink were just like the virtuous wind, which was pleasing to the eye and completely refined.Make great efforts to repair the inscription and continue the virtuous style, and learn from the ancient and modern times. In addition to his determination to learn from the ancient style, he also has the initiative to learn from the contemporary style. In particular, he has a unique eye for selecting teachers, taking the pen and ink of Shiyang, a master of contemporary calligraphy, as a teacher, it can be said that it is more successful to choose a noble family. Stone flavor and cultural rhyme of Shiyang's calligraphy influence his cursive creativity. The lines are powerful, thin but not weak, silk is made of steel, hinge is turned into wind, dangerous rocks are falling rocks, and waterfalls come from the Milky Way. Coupled with the elegant charm of literati calligraphy, his cursive calligraphy has a remarkable new aesthetic taste of the times. Inherited in the book spectrum, created in the times, the collision between the new and the old, let the pen and ink show the new splendor of art, beautiful, and everyone's great cause always lies in the omnipotence of inheritance and innovation!
