Li Xiangqun: Xiong Jingxing's achievements in poetry and calligraphy have not been taken seriously

■ Li Xiangqun famous calligraphy critic

In the early years of Daoguang, Ruan Yuan served as the governor of Liangguang, and in the twenty-fifth year of Jiaqing (1820), he founded xuehai hall in the foothills of yuexiu mountain in the north of Guangzhou, advocating the integration of the Han and Song dynasties, in-depth study of classical history, and the academic policy of avoiding emptiness, and joining the practical examination courses of astronomy, arithmetic, and geography. Li hired a group of scholars who were both knowledgeable and good at calligraphy as seniors. Wu Lanxiu, Zhao Jun, Lin Botong, Zeng Zhao, Xu Rong, Ma Fu'an, and Wu Yingkui were hired as the first seniors. Xiong Jingxing is one of them.

Xiong Jingxing, Zi Boqing, Di Jiang, Di An. South Sea people. In the twenty-first year of Jiaqing (1816), he was raised to the rank of official Kaijian (now Fengkai) for teaching. He studied the "Nanhai County Chronicle" with Xie Lansheng and Tan Ying. The Lingnan Painting Sketch records: "When you are young and strong, you have a useful shizhi. Hate the scribes are weak, and they are all demanding in riding and shooting skills. ”

All the seniors of Xuehaitang were good at calligraphy and painting. Among the early seniors, Xiong Jingxing was the most famous.

It is said: "Poetry has not gone deep into ancient times, and what is believed is calligraphy and painting." "And the old, the trapped school official, borrowed the ink to entertain himself, in order to send out his depressed and depressed atmosphere." If the study of poetry and literature from the ancients is not deep enough, you can believe in calligraphy and painting. He took Fa Yan and Liu in calligraphy, and Xingcao took the Right Army of the King of France, Li Beihai, and Mi Yuanzhang. Yu is the most in-depth in the rice book, and integrates into the personal pen and ink taste. Oppose the weak and beautiful wind of learning from Zhao Ti. The South China Sea Museum has its "Book of Travels", the boring Zhaizang 'Children's Post' axis of Linwang Xizhi, the Linmi Cursive Fan, as well as the Landscape Tuan Fan and the Chrysanthemum Fan, which are all good compositions for his later years.

Boredom Zhaizang Qilin Wang Xizhi's "Children's Post" (also known as "Tongsheng Ti") cursive scroll (pictured), paper, 160 cm in length, 34 cm in width, 3 lines, 50 words, the content: "I have seven sons and one daughter, all born together." The marriage is complete, and the only young one is not yet married. After this marriage, you will have another. There are now six people inside and outside the sun, who are enough to comfort the present, and they are content to be in love, so they show it. "Falling "Xiong Jingxing" three-character single paragraph, the lower plutonium: "Xiong Jingxing Seal" Bai Wen one, "Di Jiang" Zhu Wenyin one. "Children's Posts" only has the words "small", "to the other", "inside and outside", etc., and this axis of the king character is mainly a single word as a ribbon, such as "seven sons and one daughter", "all the same", "birth and marriage", "marrying with", "the only one", "the little one", "the ear of marriage", "over this", "one marriage", "to the other", "the present", "the foot and the love", "the reason for the curve", etc., mixed with the strokes of Li Beihai and Mi Fu, so that the momentum is more smooth and penetrating, and it is also integrated into its "depressed and depressed atmosphere". Although this axis is a pro-thesis, it is not a tendency to the pro,but a meaning of forming both form and god after repeatedly writing about the king's thesis, and this axis changes the small characters of Wang Xizhi into large characters, which strengthens the momentum of the work, and deeply captures the characteristics of the "Children's Post" "interesting long stroke short" and "prepared eight points of temperament" and its wind bone.

What Xiong Jingxing did not notice was that he also had the status of a calligraphy and painting theorist.

His treatise reads: "The penmanship must be from Yan and Liu, in order to go to Europe and Yu weiyuan, there are still northern sects, there is a seal of the legacy, if the son is soft, and so on." Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan were late Tang dynasty scholars, taking the Fa Han Jin, becoming one of their own, and their penmanship had a seal legacy. Ouyang Qing and Yu Shinan were both calligraphers of the early Tang Dynasty, and there is still a legacy of northern calligraphy. Therefore, he advocated that the penmanship should start with Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan, and the penmanship of the seal could be obtained. As weak and beautiful as Zhao Mengfu, that would be equivalent to being inadequate.

On the painting, it is said: "The pen is not heavy or strange, the ink is not thick or deep, the ancients waved the paper, they will use thick ink, so it has been hanging for hundreds of years, Wu and Shen Zhugong have circulated masterpieces, the ink is as new as new, and it is for this ear that the pen at that time is but now, and today it must be molded and sticky to the smoke." "Title Li Yunfu Momei": "Painting plums is suitable for neglect, and Jing's so-called 'shadow and horizontal oblique water is shallow' is also; Especially suitable for the secret, Shaoling's so-called 'random arrangement of flowers to Qinghao' is also. Recently, Tang Yu grew in sparse, while Li Yunfu worked in dense. "For hundreds of years, the ancients painted with ink, they must use heavy brushes, use thick ink, and pay attention to handling dense relationships. Wu Zhen and Shen Zhou, the masterpieces handed down by everyone, are all inky as new, if the ancients did not use ink thickly, today's people will definitely look like smoke, and the brushstrokes are blurred and sticky and unclear.

"Poetry is not deep in ancient times, and it is believed to be calligraphy and painting" "The pen is not heavy or strange, and the ink is not thick or deep." These are two of his important artistic perspectives, which constitute his view of calligraphy and painting creation and guide his creative practice. He has made high achievements in poetry, calligraphy and painting, and because the calligraphy and painting circles have not systematically sorted out, studied and displayed his calligraphy and paintings, he is not as influential as other xie Lansheng, Wu Xuezao, Huang Peifang, Chen Li, and is in a buried situation.
