On the Internet, as long as there is an article about the work of the calligrapher, the following comment will definitely mention that the calligrapher who cannot write calligraphy must not be a real calligrapher. It is indeed very reasonable, Yan Zhenqing, who is famous for his calligraphy, he once resigned from the government for the second time to learn calligraphy from Zhang Xu, was it to learn wild grass? In fact, Zhang Xu, who was known for his wild grass, is just that the title of his calligraphy is covered by cursive.
Zhang Xu's greatest inspiration and influence on Yan Zhenqing was mainly the Kaishu. In the initial period of Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy, it showed the characteristics of Zhang Xu's calligraphy. Huang Gu also attributed Zhang Xu's cursive writing to his calligraphy, saying: "The Tang Dynasty is incompetent. It can be seen that writing good calligraphy is the basic skill of a calligrapher, just like Mr. Qian Yuqing, not only cursive writing is good, but also very good calligraphy.
Qian Yuqing, born in Suzhou in 1968, is currently a member of the Chinese Calligraphers Association, a professor of the Calligraphy Training Center of the Chinese Calligraphers Association, a distinguished professor of the Academy of Fine Arts of Tsinghua University, the vice chairman of the Suzhou Industrial Park Literary Association, the chairman of the Suzhou Industrial Park Calligraphers Association, and a special commentator of Calligraphy Newspaper.
Mr. Qian Yuqing has been influenced by his father since childhood, has a strong interest in calligraphy, his father likes to read, loves to learn, and has also been a primary school teacher, although he has not received any professional training, but he can write well, the old Song style is handwritten, the calligraphy takes the second king of the law, Lu Gong all the way, Zhongzheng is peaceful, and Qingqi is peaceful.
Mr. Qian Yuqing was influenced by his father when he was a child, and he especially liked to write and paint, and it was in this environment that he laid a solid foundation in calligraphy.
Mr. Qian Yuqing is a "miscellaneous" bookworm, there is no too clear, single-minded number of calligraphy paths, and the method is more mixed and broad. He believes in and advocates the learning method of "collecting ancient characters" of Mi Fu, and as long as it is a favorite post, he will go to see it and come to it. Not limited to a certain family and a certain faction, not stuck in a stele and a post.
"Encompassing thousands of specialties, cutting into one phase", Mr. Qian Yuqing dismantled the things of the ancients, and then collected what he needed and suited him according to his own preferences, and then reassembled to create calligraphy products that conformed to his aesthetic trend.
Since the launch of the 13th "Five-Star Project Award" in Jiangsu Province in 2018, a total of 689 works in the province have been registered for the appraisal, and finally 65 award-winning works in the stage art category of the "Five-Star Project Award" and 15 award-winning works in the fine arts category have been produced. Mr. Qian Yuqing's cursive book "Zhang Says" won the award.
Suzhou people like cursive writing is very traditional, since ancient times there has been no shortage of cursive everyone. Zhang Xu, the founder of "Wild Grass", is a native of Suzhou, and he pushes the lyricism of cursive and the variability of dot painting and glyphs to the extreme. Cursive is difficult to write, big grass is especially elegant, cursive is a minority.
Mr. Qian Yuqing's calligraphy has a passionate and unrestrained, some or not, some receiving and releasing, the atmosphere of the times that is high and agitated, and at the same time full of lyricism, and every stroke is sprinkled in the drumming of his heart. His cursive writing also validates the fact that writing good cursives is important for writing good cursive, especially big grass and wild grass.
