Cui Shiguang: Fishing alone in the snow of the Han River

People with ideals are destined to go alone!

Walking alone is not just an outlier in action, not just a place where the lights are dimmed, not just people are east and west, people are south and I am north.

Walking alone, not just looking back, not just going up to the tall building alone, not just the belt gradually widening without regret.

Walking alone is more of an innocent thought when people are in the clouds, more is the wonderful thoughts in the depths of the soul, and more is the prudence in the mind and soul.

For the first time, I saw Cui Shiguang's works unconsciously produce a unique feeling, to inquire, Shiguang laughed but did not answer, laughed without answering, it can also be regarded as an answer, humble gentleman affirmative and indifferent.

Shiguang youth grew up in Xiangfen, Shanxi, people familiar with Chinese culture, no one does not know Jin Wengong and Fu Qing lord, Shiguang learned may have nothing to do with these two people, but Jin Wengong and Fu Qing lord, enough to show that Shanxi is a land with deep cultural feelings, this land, with today's secular eyes, may be a little isolated and remote, but for the growth of an artist, it is a great fortune to have such a land to nourish.

There is no impetuosity, no hustle and bustle, no chaotic temptation, no guidance from countless mediocre teachers, pure learning from the ancients, learning from the sages, going alone between the mountains and ravines, nourishing the body, forging the soul, laying a thick, innocent, pure and pure foundation.

Some people say that "pen and ink should be contemporary", so partial to a corner, it is difficult to keep up with the times, but I want to say, first of all, to see what kind of era this is, if in this era, the turbid atmosphere is too heavy, follow it, is not it also muddy? Therefore, in the stage of ramming the foundation, only by staying in a corner can we have a great future. The Su Dongpo and Su Ziyu we are familiar with do not seem to have stepped out of Meishan before the age of twenty.

Shiguang's solitude was not manifested at first, and his writing and deeds were always in harmony with the crowd, but if you pay a little attention, you will find that Shiguang always inadvertently shows his solitude. Whether it is everyone traveling together in the mountains or talking about literature, even if they are gathered around a table and drink, his body can reveal a faint, melancholy sense of loneliness. His characters and seal engravings are even more so: his cursive calligrapher Gu Xianshi Jinxian, leisurely and leisurely his own style; Xiao Kai Gu Mu Peaceful, Chu Zhong, Wang Yi; seal calligraphy is strangely staggered, like a transfer; xingshu is refreshing and refreshing to the Song people. His seal engraving, which has the quality of the pre-Qin, Han and Wei dynasties, supplemented by the characteristics of the Ming and Qing dynasties, is calm and quiet, and unique.

For artists, Beijing is a place of success or failure, five tones and miscellaneous, five dazzling flowers and flowers, so that many young people who originally had beautiful artistic visions and talents have lost their way here, so that they follow the current, join the group, talk big, bump into the big luck, is not willing to work the art itself, as if in Beijing, he has become the first in the world, such examples can be described as countless. The ancients were not, remembering that after Su Rui won the first jinshi, he wrote a letter to Han Qi, which listed a lot of first sights, and the magic was that Su Rui was not moved by these gorgeous and gorgeous, but together with his brother Su Shi, he maintained the cautious and independent learning attitude when he was in the township.

Shi guang as Si Ye. The vast city of Beijing is actually not big in the eyes of Shi Guang, in his words, it belongs to him only a small room of more than ten square meters, where there are his beloved pen and ink paper, famous Fa Ti, poetry books. At the same time that he broadened his horizons, his heart tightened tighter, his mind became more concentrated, and his thinking was even more different. Words and prints also appear more relaxed and unique unconsciously.

Shiguang is successful, and this success is first of all because he treats his environment, his art, and his life in a unique form.

Some people say that loneliness and loneliness are the most precious emotions, and it is wonderful that this emotion can be extended to produce unique art.

Li Bai has the aria of "the birds fly high, the lonely clouds go alone to idle", and Shiguang's calligraphy and seal engraving make me think of Liu Zongyuan's "fishing alone in the snow of the cold river", on the surface, Shiguang is a lonely idle cloud, but deep inside he has been fishing hard in the world of pen and ink, serious fishing, lonely fishing. The ideal is also approaching the angler unconsciously!
