Let's first divide from the history of calligraphy, ancient Chinese history refers to before 1840, modern times is from 1840 to 1949 to today.
In the history of Chinese calligraphy, due to the different social and cultural environments in each historical stage, the pursuit and aesthetics of calligraphy by literati doctors are also different, and a small number of great calligraphers have emerged in each era, including the "Four Sages in the Book" (Zhang Zhi, Zhong Xuan, Wang Xizhi, Wang Xianzhi) and the four "Book Saints" (Zhang Zhi, Huang Xiang, Zhong Xuan, suo Jing) in the Han and Wei dynasties.
In the Tang Dynasty, there were four masters of the early Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty had the "Four Families of the Song Dynasty", the Qing Dynasty also had the "Four Families of the Qing Dynasty", and in the contemporary era, the social and cultural environment has undergone tremendous changes, and among the living people, we cannot comment on who is a master of calligraphy, who can leave a name in history, which requires the conclusion of future generations.
But among the deceased contemporary figures, there is one person who can be called a master.
He is the white banana.
Bai Shuo can be called the number one calligrapher in contemporary times, and his characters have been fully styled by Wei and Jin, truly surpassing the ancients! Many people say "beyond the ancients", which is impossible.
In fact, in today's professional calligraphy community as a whole also completely surpassed the general level of the ancients, of course, the master is beyond the level, in the theoretical field of calligraphy, as well as in the overall level, not at all lost to the ancients, this is obvious to all, of course, this premise is that you have to know enough about the contemporary calligraphy community. There is not much to talk about.
Bai Shuo's calligraphy is one of the few people in contemporary times who can calmly stroll between the Jin and Tang Dynasties, his words are interesting, completely exude the demeanor of the Jin people, and his calligraphy has done a good job of the true transmission of the "Two Kings", which is enough to surpass the ancients, which can be called the first in the contemporary era!
Among the many calligraphers of the last century, only a few of them were able to have a very high ability to control and comprehend the Jin people's Fadu, such as Xie Wuliang, Huang Binhong, and Yu Youren Dunn, and Bai Shuo was the one who had achieved great success among them.
The history of calligraphy developed to the Ming and Qing dynasties, and began to decline in the overall expression of meaning, and scholars of this era showed more confusion, stagnation and loss of one another for the Jin and Tang Dynasties.
And Bai Shuo is able to calmly walk into the Jin and Tang Dynasties with extraordinary enlightenment and unremitting practice, and he walks in the two mountains of Jin and Tang without any pretentiousness, which is unique after the Tang People.
The appearance of such a character as Bai Banana, mainly the natural and indifferent pursuit of Bai Banana in his bones, the personal state of mind originates from the outside, it is difficult for others to learn, he learns calligraphy has three character skills: Heng, Xing, Jing.
As long as anyone can do these three words in the study of calligraphy, your calligraphy will be able to achieve great success.
In calligraphy, it is manifested in taking the Fa Gao, non-Tang people did not learn before, the vision is high, what is seen in the eyes, are all Jin people high grid, diligent work, day and night copying, in fact, learning traditional Chinese art, if you have such an vision and learning attitude, it is difficult not to achieve something.
In his lifetime, Bai Shuo experienced many changes in modern times, such as the Northern Expedition, the War of Resistance, the Civil War, the Anti-Rightism, etc. In a changing environment, Bai Shuo was able to consistently maintain an indifferent Jinren Gaoge, which is also an important reason why his calligraphy can stand out from the forest of the times.
The masterpiece of calligraphy in bai banana is "Orchid Inscription Miscellaneous Existence", which establishes his position in the entire history of calligraphy, and no one can shake it!
