——Visit the Exhibition of Calligraphy of the National Art Museum of China in Youran

Wen | Zhou Wenyue

The joint sentence "The book becomes a law, and the sketching volume has four hours of spring" was written by Mr. Yu Youren to "Xiaoquan". Xiao Quan He Ren ren also failed to check it out. However, there is a "Xiaoquan Cave" in Suizhou, Hubei Province, there are four halls in the cave, 34 meters wide and 42 meters high, the cave entrance is narrow, and you can walk in with your head down, and the deep spring water is a stream, warm in winter and cool in summer, and the four seasons are like spring. The cave hall is suddenly full of all kinds of natural stone carvings, stone curtains, stone curtains, stone flowers, stone lotuses, stone birds, stone beasts, and hundreds of stalagmites of different shapes. The water quality at the mouth of the cave is sweet and condensed, and the coin is tossed in the water, always floating without sinking.

May 12 is a special day. Looking back on ten years, Wenchuan is unforgettable. Today this year, on the occasion of the National Art Museum of China's calligraphy exhibition held at your right, in the morning, I took a special 11th to visit the exhibition.

Yu Youren is not only a Kuomintang elder and poet, but also a calligraphy master known as a contemporary grass saint. He is from Sanyuan, Shaanxi, and I am from Qianxian County, Shaanxi, which is more than 30 kilometers away from Sanyuan.

Hometown Sanyuan office has an old calligraphy exhibition, I have visited and studied before, due to the rush to and fro, the heart is not quiet, at that time did not seriously study, the memory is relatively shallow.

Yu Lao's former residence is located in Doukou Lane, Xiguan, Sanyuan County, and is divided into a courtyard, ancestral hall and mill, covering an area of 2,008 square meters. The West Courtyard is where mrs. Fang lives, a green brick and tile house, simple and elegant, and now has two exhibition halls, namely the Exhibition of the Life of Yu Youren and the Exhibition of Contemporary Celebrity Calligraphy. The north courtyard is the courtyard where mr. lives, the furnishings are very simple, the old locust branches are leafy and lush.

In 1997, Sanyuan County and relevant parties raised funds to build the "Shaanxi Yu Youren Memorial Hall", which contains the memorial monument, the Yu Youren Monument, the Hexagonal Monument Pavilion, and 14 calligraphy corridors built around the pavilion, and more than 20 thousand characters, abducted horses, Manjiang Hong, and calligraphy stele stones. Mr. Yu Youren's ink works include: Mr. Yu's calligraphy works, calligraphy manuscripts, poems and calligraphy editions published at home and abroad in various periods, xi Zhongxun, Ma Wenrui, Qu Wu, Zhao Puchu, Zhang Aiping, Chen Lifu, Jiang Weiguo, Lin Yanggang, Kong Decheng and other celebrity inscriptions more than 30 pieces. The first part of the exhibition of Yu Youren's works is "The Road of the Master", which shows the magnificent life course of Mr. Yu and the calligraphy art of Mr. Yu In a rich way; the second part is "Display of Diaries and Daily Necessities", including the manuscript of "Looking at the Mainland", Mr. Yu's robe, brush, etc.; the third part is "Yu Youren Calligraphy Exhibition", a total of more than 20 paintings; the fourth part is "Yu Men Zhuxian Works Exhibition", with more than 20 calligraphy works by Zhou Bomin, Li Chaoya, Liang Piyun and others.

Although there is no gorgeous and tall building in Yu Youren's former residence, it can make people feel a kind of simplicity and solemnity, and feel the broad heart of this pioneer of the democratic revolution that "the world is just".

Watching the old exhibition in Beijing, the mood naturally has a different feeling.

At ten o'clock, I arrived at the main entrance of the National Art Museum of China, walked through the security check, entered the courtyard, and fortunately met Mr. Cheng Jiafu, and I asked Teacher Cheng to help take photos. Sir asked me to stand in front of the stone cypress tree on the east side of the yard. He said, why do you want to shoot in front of the building? This place, this angle, everyone who has come, at a glance, saw the roof of the National Art Museum of China, and it is hidden behind a tree, which is more subtle, much better than the front of your building. My husband looked at the rehearsal photos of the community performance saved on my mobile phone, pointed to the photo that I thought was good, and asked if it had been taken under the lights. I said fluorescent lamps. He said the light was dark and should be under the sun. With a word of guidance from mr. I suddenly understood that taking pictures is not a straightforward "click", but an artistic creation. We must not only study and ponder and discuss, but also humbly seek advice, otherwise, there will never be great progress.

Just as we were about to enter the room together, a half-old man and the staff at the door had an argument. Teacher Cheng was a very good person, immediately went forward to persuade, patted the old man on the shoulder and said, "Brother, we are all fathers, don't teach with those children." The old man actually played Laipi, did not listen to persuasion, and deliberately scolded the staff. I helped Teacher Cheng to push the old Lai Pi into the outside of the exhibition hall. Teacher Cheng wanted to shoot me again, and the old Lai scolded out from inside, and the umbrella handle in his hand knocked on the ground "dang, dang". We had to instruct the staff member to recuse himself and let the security guard come forward to solve the problem. Old Lai Pi felt bored, so he walked away in sorrow.

Although it was a small episode before watching the exhibition, I still saw and learned a lot from Mr. Cheng.

Entering the main hall from the front hall, you will be greeted by the curtain hanging on the right and the red theme curtain fluttering: Opening the Peace for all the worlds.

Teacher Cheng asked me to face the camera, and he pressed the shutter again.

According to the narrator, this exhibition focuses on the achievements of Yu Youren's creation over the years, showing his exploration and pursuit of calligraphy art. The purpose is to inherit the art and promote the patriotic spirit.

The exhibition is divided into two parts, one part is the introduction of Yu Youren's deeds; Part of the work is the exhibition, through the "Mingxin Golden Stone", "Thousand Autumn Hao Song", "Cane the World" three blocks, 101 authentic works, showing Mr. Zai's calligraphy achievements, artistic feelings, literati feelings and political feelings.

According to reports, all the works on display are from Mr. Zhu Yilong's private collection, and the exhibition period will last until the 20th, during which an academic seminar will be held.

Zhu Yilong is a native of Zhejiang, Spanish returned overseas Chinese, more than 50 years old, very simple, more titles, but also enjoy the special allowance of the State Council, as the vice chairman of the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, the chairman of the Ningxia Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, the chairman of the board of directors of Yindi Group.

Mr. Cheng said that Yu body calligraphy has four characteristics: easy to read, easy to write, accurate and beautiful.

Mr. Cheng believes that the fundamental significance of Yu Youren's calligraphy is to solve the problem of steleification of small grass and realize the integration of stele stickers. Yu Ti is the inheritance and reinforcement of Huai Su Xiaocao, and is the first calligraphy art to blend Wei Bei and Xiao Cao together, creating a new realm for epigraphy, opening up a new way for future generations, so that later learners avoid blind exploration, and can be called the calligraphy master of the 20th century stele school.

Walking to the front of the calligraphy work of "Getting the Clear Qi of The Landscape and the Water, the Great View of the Heaven and earth", Teacher Cheng carefully said after a few minutes that there is another characteristic of Yu Body, that is, righteousness and upward. As Han Meilin said, the world is beautiful, that is, there are ten thousand works, and none of them can be pessimistic, and none of them can be bitter. We have suffered so many sins in this life, but in artistic creation, we are never pessimistic, not bitter, not flattened, not bad, just such a good man! To engage in art, we must be good men, show the truth for people, create beauty for people, and promote goodness for people. Such an artist is the artist of the people.

Mr. Cheng said that the success of Yu Youren's calligraphy mainly has three aspects. The first is the unique method of learning books and the concept of calligraphy. He has repeatedly stated that to learn calligraphy, we must take the law of the ancients, but we must not stick to the ancients, and there is no dead pen in writing, and with a dead pen, it is impossible to cure; when you are close to others, you write your own; you are collecting materials, and writing is to absorb and digest, these views are the most practical guiding directions. On the one hand, taking the law of the ancients is the standard, and not sticking to the ancients is no standard. On the other hand, taking the Fa of the ancients requires reiki and diligence, and not sticking to the ancients requires insight and courage. The second is to devote himself to the exploration of the calligraphy of stele and the posting of cursive stele with profound skill. He repeatedly said that everything must go naturally. This means that it is necessary to maintain the nature of the inscription, and it is necessary to maintain the nature of the structure and posture of the book. To complete these two natures, it is not only necessary to turn steelmaking into a soft skill around the fingers, but also to be extraordinary and lofty artistic courage, but also to need the poet's literary rhyme and romantic feelings, and the hills and valleys in the chest and the majestic arrogance cultivated by special experiences. The third is the advocacy and practice of standard cursive writing.

The four criteria of "easy to read, easy to write, accurate, and beautiful" were put forward by Yu Youren, who wanted to use this standard to reform cursive writing. Yu Lao believes that writing is a tool for human beings to express their thoughts and develop their lives. The ingenuity of its structure and the difficulty of its use are related to the future of the nation. Yu Youren's connection between the research and promotion of standard cursive writing and the national economy and people's livelihood shows his grand desire to "carry the tao with books" and the responsibility and mission of the calligraphy art society. In this way, it is easy to understand why he is trying to achieve the principle of "easy to read, easy to write, standard, beautiful". It is this basic proposition and concept that makes Yu Youren escape from the cursive writing that has been passed down for two thousand years, break out of the shackles of the closed thesis cursive writing, and achieve natural integration and transcendence, thus breaking the myth that the stele cannot be grass.

As great figures, the exchanges between Yu Youren and Chairman Mao in calligraphy and poetry are also commendable. During the Chongqing negotiations that year, Chairman Mao once talked freely with Yu Youren about poetry. One evening, Zhang Zhizhong held a banquet for Chairman Mao in Guiyuan Garden, and invited Yu Youren, Sun Ke, and others to attend, and Mao and Yu talked mostly about poetry, literature, and characters. On September 6, Yu Youren set up a luncheon to entertain Chairman Mao, Zhou Enlai, Wang Ruofei and others, and invited Zhang Zhizhong and Zhang Qun to attend as an accompaniment. Yu Youren strongly praised Chairman Mao's "Qinyuan Spring and Snow", and particularly praised "counting the popular figures and looking at the present dynasty", believing that it was a good sentence to encourage the future generations. Chairman Mao, on the other hand, said, how can it be worthy of the divine stroke of Mr. 'The great king asked me when I will recover the mountains and rivers'. Originally, when Yu Youren visited the tomb of Genghis Khan, he gave "Yue Tun Tian Jing Sha", "Singing on the Xinglong Mountain, once looking at the invincible Jinge, the testament was burned and read, and the king asked me: When will the mountains and rivers be recovered." After saying that, Yu Youren and Chairman Mao clapped their hands and laughed, and everyone in the audience was happy. Both Chairman Mao and Yu Youren were able to recite each other's poems, and their knowledge was so profound that people had to be impressed. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chairman Mao asked many people to help him collect works by Right Ren.

Yu Youren has always been in love with the motherland and his hometown. In the early years, when I returned to Shaanxi to visit my relatives, I had to taste local dishes. Such as simmered shredded squid, white sealed meat, knotted noodles, gold thread oil tower, bubble oil cake and so on. He wrote the "Mingde Pavilion" plaque and the inscription "Famous Chef Zhang Rong" for the local area, making this restaurant, founded in the 1930s, famous and famous in Sanqin. In 1942, when Yu Youren was in Nanning, Shaanxi, he tasted and praised the Wang family's walnut baked cake, which made the shop's business increasingly prosperous. Although Yu Lao did not become vice president, his lifelong style of poverty, incorruptibility, elegance, and open-mindedness is an indelible model in people's hearts.

Mr. Yu died on November 10, 1964, at the age of 86. His body was buried on Datun Mountain, the highest mountain in Taipei, and at the summit of Yushan Peak at an altitude of 3997 meters, which is also the highest peak in China's southeastern provinces, a 4-meter bronze statue facing the mainland was erected. The old man did not leave a last word, and his poem "Looking at the Continent" is the best last word.

Taste and read old works, feel the artistic charm of "turning vulgar books into a family law", and experience the essence, qi and spirit of the old life, so that people will suddenly have a sense of solidity, self-motivation and mission.

Yu Lao's works, with the times, contain positive significance of promoting people's progress.

Meeting Mr. Cheng Jiafu should be a very beautiful artistic relationship and learning opportunities. Half a day to see the exhibition is over, my teacher and I returned to each other, I wish Teacher Cheng a smooth work, happiness and happiness!

Happily, I quickly received 7 photos that Mr. Cheng had taken of me with his SLR. The gentleman also put forward poems for those photos, and the content was mostly praiseworthy, which made me feel terrified and ashamed. In those words the gentleman said:

Yida Jijing can become famous - photographing and writing poems for Mr. Moon Yue.

Shanxi Shaanxi is the hometown of Zhou Qin, the center of the Tang Dynasty, and has always been a place where humanities gather and talents are born. Fu Shan, the former sage of Shanxi in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, was a generation of Wenzong who was skilled in all kinds of calligraphy and painting through the subset of history, qi huang medical tao, and calligraphy and painting. Shanxi Yu Youren Old Man, who has a reputation for "Three Original Books and Saints" in modern times, is even more famous inside and outside the sea. Mr. Wen Yue, on the other hand, has a friendship with Mr. Yu Youren, and since childhood, he has the ambition to follow the former sages, swing the pipe, learn to study painting, be diligent, be good at walking grass, flying dragons and snakes, and have achieved great success in high standards. A few days ago, I unexpectedly met the National Art Museum of China's "Yu Youren Calligraphy Art Exhibition", which is polite, humble and low-key, gentle and respectful, touching and respectable, so I photographed it and wrote a poem, with the intention of remembering, and wishing: Yan Cultivation Ink Shen, Painting Realm Wenxin, Higher Level!

Unexpectedly coveted Su Xinyou, Jinghua Tired Ke Jiafu, the twenty-seventh of the month of the twilight spring in Jinghua Lanshizhai .

Attached poem inscription: 1, there is a poetry book in the belly. 2. The method of learning is to care about one heart. 3-4, how can life be fruitless? Yida Extreme Excellence can become famous. 5. The person with sexual syndrome is condensed. 6. Inner wealth and wisdom, external victory. 7. Follow the former sages and practice the Tao. Unexpectedly, su xin xin friend Kofu, photography and poetry theme photo, the twenty-seventh of the late spring moon in Jinghua Lan Shizhai .

After receiving The photo of Teacher Cheng and the attached poem, I thanked the teacher on WeChat, and the teacher immediately replied: Flowing Water Zhiyin, Boo Toot deed. Light intercourse so can grow one by one to restore Yue Jun.

Wenyue Evening: You are polite, you don't have to. And the situation is meaningless to me. Su Xi Qingyunzhi, stumbling to the year of hair. Who knows in the mirror, the shadows pity each other. My heart has long been as light as water, please know my heart and be a confidant without involving money, wine, meat and power,...... Light intercourse so can be long, okay? Su Xin Yu Jia Fu, Peng Shu MengXia Chu Liu in Jinghua Lan Shi Zhai.

Mr. Cheng's hundreds of words are not only a gift to me, but also a sincere teaching and expectation, which shows the teacher's view of people, people, people and outlook on life and values. Sir's words, let me admire, but also the motto of my heart forever.

When talking about national development, General Secretary Xi Jinping said four self-confidences, road self-confidence, theoretical self-confidence, institutional self-confidence, and cultural self-confidence. Our cultural self-confidence is built on the history of 5,000 years of civilization, which represents the cultural self-consciousness, cultural self-esteem and cultural self-improvement of Chinese. It can be said that cultural self-confidence not only stems from the cultural ideas and cultural traditions of the Chinese nation different from other ethnic groups in the world, but also from the fruitful results achieved by cultural undertakings in the past hundred years, and also depends on creative transformation in the future, contributing Chinese wisdom to human civilization, so that the rejuvenation of Chinese culture and the Realization of the Chinese Dream can be realized.
