The previous article introduced the first five authors of yanshu style, and this article introduces the remaining five.
6 Mai Hua San

About the author: Mai Huasan (1907-1986), a native of Guanyong Village, Shiqi (Qi), Panyu District, Guangzhou, graduated from Guangzhou University and taught at the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts in 1961. He is a director of the Chinese Calligraphers Association and vice chairman and advisor of the Guangdong Branch. He is the author of "Ancient and Modern Calligraphy Convergence", "Han Jin Mujian's Contribution to The History of Calligraphy", "The Origin of Calligraphy", "Yizhou Shuying", "Wang Xi's Annals" and so on.
The old man was quite humorous and wrote the same poem in three styles: Lishu, Yishu and Xingshu. Only its letters.
Mai Huasan is a Lingnan calligrapher. Looking at the script of the work, there is a shadow of the "Yan Qinli Monument". However, the author did not carry according to the collection of words, but combined with his own writing feeling and aesthetic taste, made changes in the line and stroke outline, looking meaty and amiable, without a little shelf. We all know that Yan's body has a sense of awe and inviolability, and the more Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy reaches his old age, the more ancient and powerful he becomes, like a warrior in front of the temple, standing horizontally and majestically.
Mai Lao's words not only have a sense of amiability, but also have a strong aroma of wine, and the high-rollers on the wine table must have seen these five words:
"Guizhou Moutai Wine"
Seeing these five words, do you want to drink something? [Laughs] [Beer]
Can't help but chant a poem:
"I have a jug of wine, with Jun drunk under the flowers. The east wind arrives day and night, and the group does not stop vomiting. Singing and floating clouds, the daylight dancing. Tao Ran centered on Yue, suddenly going through the ages. Bandits win through the world, and others can take it. (Ming Wang Shizhen)
7 Zhang Cheng
Zhang Cheng, male, born in 1946, from Kunming, Yunnan Province. He is currently a member of the International Liaison Committee of the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee of the Jiusan Society, a librarian of the Kunming Municipal Research Museum of Literature and History, the vice president of the National Yan Body Calligraphy Research Association, a member of the Chinese Calligraphers Association, the president of the Qiannanyuan Research Association, the consultant of the Yunnan Provincial Old Cadres Calligraphy and Painting Association, the director of the Calligraphy Education Professional Committee of the Yunnan Provincial Education Society, a senior arts and crafts artist, and a ceramic designer.
Zhang Cheng learns the book, first willow and then Yan, which makes his book have both Yan Jian and Liu Bone, opening majestically, allegorical and clumsy, with different customs of artistic appeal.
When Zhang was 19 years old, he studied under Li Guangping, who guided him to shift the focus of his studies from "Erwang" to Liu Kai, and then to Yanshu, and calligraphy began to become majestic. He combines the characteristics of Yan Kaishu's structure of tightness and internal looseness with the characteristics of Liushu's dot paintings and strong knots, making his book contain the charm of clumsiness and ingenuity.
This work is still mainly based on taking the Law money.
Qian Feng calligraphy works
8 Song Guangxue
Song Guangxi, born in 1921, is a native of Lingui, Guangxi.
To borrow a quote from Mi Fu, he commented: "When people in the world write large characters, they lift their pens vigorously, and the more they lose their muscles and bones, and make round pen heads like steamed cakes, which is ridiculous." It is better to be like small words, to be fully prepared, and not to be deliberately pretentious. ”
9 Shen Xilan
Shen Xilan, born in 1938, is a native of Suxian County, Anhui Province. The name of the law is Miaoming, and the name of the master of the iron bone. painter. Since childhood, he has loved calligraphy and painting, and when he first received the guidance of Mei Xuefeng and Zhang Zhenchuan, he worshiped Li Kuchan as a teacher in 1978.
This work is heavily written, but meaty and less ribbed. There is also a little bit of the meaning of the above-mentioned "round pen head like steamed cake". It is caused by the times, it is caused by the distortion in the circulation of brushwork, and it is also caused by the ink of Yang Hao when writing large characters in shengxuan.
10 Zhengjia Town
Zhengjiazhen: (1918-2000) A native of Qiongshan, Hainan. A famous calligrapher and cartoonist in Hong Kong. The family has a rich collection of calligraphy and paintings, and at the age of 9, he entered from Zhao Mengfu and then learned Yan Zhenqing, and also learned from han "Qisangong Mountain Stele" and "Wei Stele of Cliff Carvings on the Slope Road".
This work is very impressively written. The author uses the Yan body as a framework to integrate calligraphy, cursive writing, and xingshu. The thick characters are written in the sense of seals, while the slender characters have a lot of cursive strokes. This sense of form and chapter brought about by the change of the thickness of the stroke and the mutation of the font has been around for a long time. This kind of chapter arrangement should be inspired by the Cao Zhi Temple Stele.
[Attached "Cao Zhi Temple Stele", also known as "Chen Si Wang Stele", Sui Wen Emperor Kai Thirteen Years (593) erected, stone in Shandong East Asi Bali Yushan Ancestral Hall, 22 lines, each line of 43 characters. The lord of the stele, Cao Zhi (曹植), courtesy name Zijian, was the son of Emperor Cao Cao of Wei Taizuwu, the Prince of Chen, and the King of Chensi( 缢思), known as the King of Chensi. The "Cao Zhi Temple Stele" is a mixture of seals, affiliations, and kai, intricate changes, vigorous and plump, making people look at it, as if entering a fairyland.
Cao Zhi Temple Stele
Cao Zhi, with the name of "Eight Buckets of Talent", was praised and respected by later generations of literati, and Great literary heroes such as Xie Lingyun, Li Bai, Du Fu, Li Shangyin, Su Shi, and Cao Xueqin were all fans of Cao Zijian. Xie Lingyun once said: "There is only one stone in the world, Cao Zijian has eight buckets, I have to fight, and the world is divided into one bucket." "His poetry and talent are unusual, even the tombstone is also very distinctive, plus his magnificent and strange "Roselle Endowment" and the character -- "Stage Endowment" are even more legendary.
However, those who study calligraphy rarely take the method from this stele. The inscription in the stele has a lot of weather of Yanlu Gongyan body. It is not an exaggeration to say that the body comes from this. In that year, Lu Gong had been a plain taishou, and when he went to Dong'a to hang Cao Zhi, he should have seen this stele.
