If you want to write calligraphy well, you must have a certain cultural accomplishment and knowledge. However, knowledge can nourish calligraphy, but it is not a substitute for calligraphy. After all, calligraphy is an art that requires long-term cultivation to master. Just as if you are a teacher engaged in the study and teaching of calligraphy, it does not mean that you can become a calligrapher.
Many scholars today are already inherently deficient in calligraphy, and they have not made much effort the day after tomorrow, but because they like to dance and ink, they call themselves calligraphers. In fact, their calligraphy is bland and devoid of energy, just writing brush characters.
Calligraphy requires knowledge and skill, but also needs brilliance.
The Southern Dynasty calligrapher Wang Shengqian said in the "Pen Yi Zan": "The wonderful way of the book, the god is the first, the form is secondary, and the one who is both can be less than the ancients." ”
Shencai originally refers to the aura and brilliance of the human face, here refers to the spirit, style, temperament, interest and meaning revealed in the combination of calligraphy's pointillist lines and their structural combinations.
A good calligraphy work is like a radiant person standing in front of you, raising his hands and feet, smiling and smiling, exuding charming charm and brilliance. Therefore, lyrical spirit, the pursuit of the harmonious and wonderful spirit of dot painting lines and space combinations, has always been the highest realm that calligraphers have diligently pursued. A good calligraphy work always makes people shine and shine!
So, how can a calligraphy work be brought to life?
The Ming Dynasty calligrapher Zhu Yunming said: "Meritorious and sexless, radiant and unborn, sexually reactive, flashy and unrealistic." ”
He believes that the art of calligraphy should be "magnificent and realistic", and only by seeing both merit and virtue and perfecting the skills and taoism can we achieve a wonderful state. It can be seen that if calligraphy has a radiance, on the one hand, it must go through the long-term refinement of the famous monuments of the ancient sages of the teacher's law, and the eight methods are proficient. This is the premise and foundation, the so-called "work". On the other hand, the creative mentality is idyllic and free, the creation of the heart and hands, the material and I forget, write out the true feelings to the sex, into their own academic cultivation and aesthetic taste, which is the so-called "sex".
Doing scholarship requires a serious and rigorous attitude and calm and thoughtful thinking, and the creation of calligraphy art requires surging passion. Scholars and calligraphers are often easily tired of their own knowledge, and they are preoccupied with paintings bit by bit, and the result is that the calligraphy works are rigid and dull, like a patient's listlessness; and the poorly written books are even more "like row operators" and become tacky calligraphers. This is Zhu Yunming's criticism of "meritorious and asexual".
The Han Dynasty calligrapher Cai Yong said in his "Treatise on Pen": "The bookkeeper, scatter also." If you want to write a book, you will first scatter your arms, let your feelings be arbitrary, and then write it; if you are forced by something, although the mountain rabbit cannot be good. It can be seen that in order to break through the "bottleneck" of calligraphy, the writer needs to "first scatter his arms and let his feelings be arbitrary", enter the realm of selfless freedom, do whatever he wants, and write out his true disposition, that is, the so-called "radiance".
