"Flowers are full of wind and rain, and life is separated." Nowadays, the taste of the year under the tide of the times has long faded, far from the appearance of the past, but for those who wander away from home, returning to their hometown for the New Year still exists as a personal "big event". As the year draws to a close, the stamp-sized homeland extends infinitely and infinitely broadly in the depths of the heart, and the old days are turned away and bridged. If you can't embark on the return journey, it seems that the unclaimed memories in the old garden will become lonely and aggrieved.
Where the wind comes from, where the traces return, and the heart of looking at the clouds and overlooking the water, is to find a feeling of the beginning of man. A few minutes deep in the night, a little cold, the water of the waves can be clear or turbid, all for the release of themselves. At this time, only mr. Zhang Zao's bowl of chicken soup was brought, and he tasted it again: "Looking out the window and remembering the regrets in my life, plum blossoms fell all over Nanshan." In human life, there should be such a "south mountain" that can carry and take stock of the meaning of life that is light or heavy. Just as the homeland is for the wanderer, the rusher who pursues art, mo asks for the return date, but it is always indispensable to reconfirm his heart to himself when the stars are full of night sky: the origin of artistic life, the direction of dreams, and the other shore of the heart.

"Usually the same window before the moon, only plum blossoms are different." The bustle of contemporary calligraphy, the clamor of the crowd and the self-talk stand side by side. And Mr. Meng Qingxing, a scholar-type calligrapher, seems to be hiding in the time of the reader's family, the seamount is not old, and I am idle. Born unable to live a colorful, gong-opening life, with the practice and reflection of oriental aesthetics, he established his own abundance and self-confidence in quiet writing and research, the presentation of quality, the projection of feelings, and gradually rolled out a pure land that was forgotten in red dust. This kind of retreat in earthly life has become a kind of mental progression.
I have to mention that two years ago, in the late spring of Gengzi, the key book "The Complete History of Chinese Calligraphy, Hubei Volume" launched by the Home Review Society, the name of the author, Mr. Meng Qingxing, entered his vision for the first time. Rich historical materials, including the ups and downs of people, including regional changes; rigorous academic attitude, inseparable from the ability to interpret historical materials themselves, inseparable from the depth of academic views; clear historical expression, blending the regional growth process of calligraphy, in line with the value orientation of local culture. Mr. Meng Qingxing is absolutely dusty on the outside, swinging five strings on the inside, white paper and black characters, no wild high theory, and considerate sympathy.

While feeling the pulse of the history of calligraphy in Hubei Province, the author further wrestled with the hardships, ambitions and abilities of his writings. After that, after several WeChat talks, I learned that Mr. Qingxing not only did a good job in learning, but also his calligraphy creation became his own style and format, which can be regarded as one of the few double practitioners of calligraphy and history in the contemporary calligraphy industry. The sky is far away, and the water is wide and smokey. In the rolling new wave of the book world, Mr. Qingxing's ripples quietly lead to a return to learning and study, to enhance his humanistic character and nourish his own writing form.

Never willing to be meticulous and physically and mentally for rice sorghum, let alone have to cater to the market trend, in the creation of calligraphy, Mr. Qingxing is willing to turn into a bird that pursues the clouds of Xiu, to be Xu Xiake in the pen and ink world, to prove the existence of life and create the value of art. To some extent, the buoy of Mr. Qingxing's calligraphy creation is implemented on a "leisurely and rich", that is, after he experienced his own thousands of rivers and mountains, a period of artistic stability, intentionally or unintentionally, the taste of jasmine tea in the pen and ink.
Xiao Kai excerpts From Lin Zhijun's "Baoxian Tang Gu Kao" Meng Qingxing 30cmx21cm
Initially, home learning became an important factor influencing him to start studying in junior high school. His father's love for literature and history, his collection of calligraphy and paintings, and his uncles' small fame in linyi calligraphy circles are all imperceptibly in the marrow of his blood and bone, and now he has a dream that will never be forgotten. In Mr. Qingxing's view, "the word 'calligraphy' can be taken apart and understood, which contains both the so-called metaphysical 'Tao' and refers to a result, which is the 'law'; it also contains the process of dialogue between the creative subject and the external world with the help of tool materials and brushstrokes, which is 'book'."

The high and wonderful realm of calligraphy 'Tao' is desirable, but the current 'writing' process also has independent value. There is the law, so I am, and there is writing, so I am. When we create for a particular specification, form, and purpose, it is easiest to lose sight of the true thing and the pleasure of the moment. This is exactly how our current calligraphy creation "breaks the circle", and the rational thinking that should be triggered makes the real literary heart tremble.
The night wind loves the moonlight, and the morning dew makes the flowers fragrant. Ink is the dew of the heart. The virtual pen supports the truth, the real pen sets the virtual realm, the fresh ink color, the ancient line, in the pen of Mr. Qingxing, such as the tea wind is gentle, such as the wine wind, affectionate and style. Mr. Jiang Shoutian pointed out that Mr. Qingxing's early calligraphy focused on the grasp of the classics, that is, "the immersion of the erwang calligraphy makes his calligraphy exquisite, mellow, and elegant with the literati style of calligraphy", but this kind of writing, although full of "don't ask Dongshan Jiu, roses a few degrees of flowers" style of freehand and looseness, but less of a thick and simple after years of polishing and full of bone strength of calm and introverted.

Mr. Qingxing is no longer satisfied with the gentle zhuangshao temperament of the Second King's Thesis, in recent years, he has written about Yan Zhenqing, Su Shi, Huang Gu, and boldly learned from Shen Zengzhi, Xu Shengweng and other stele scholars, under the guidance of his own aesthetic orientation, he is good at attacking jade with the stone of his mountain, throwing himself into the furnace of heaven and earth, turning into his own, and finally forming a unique penmanship that is scattered and concentrated. Mr. Wang Yuanjun understands it as saying that Mr. Qingxing is "expressing a vicissitudes, shenxiong, ancient and thick life weather through pen and ink lines, and once this life weather is expressed through pen and ink lines, it is often able to withstand chewing and withstand taste", it can also be said that the life weather in his pen, in addition to taking the energy contained in his personal muscles as the driving force, using the pen square and soft to see strange changes in the body; there is also a huge energy generated after the completion of spiritual nirvana as a support. Good pen and ink are like the opening and falling of a lotus flower, which involves people's aspirations, emotions and spirits.

At a higher level, "there are elephants to stand because of them, invisible to live", Mr. Qingxing's practice of innovation, often can be extremely sincere to repeat and respond to inner questions, sometimes do negative exclusion, sometimes do affirmative concentration, get in the tradition, nourish the contemporary, and finally experience a cold bone, difficult to get through the "self-close". If you can't find your own Achilles heel, if you can't get through the "self-closing", once the scribe becomes a wild boat of the times that no one controls, and cannot draw the traces of life without saying it, how dare he talk about the "big proposition" of Hou Qi's book style and return to Chun? In other words, calligraphy is also a way of speaking a lot of times, especially for Mr. Qingxing. From this, it seems that mr. Qingxing suddenly found the place where Mr. Qingxing's spontaneous and inspired pen and ink style of the future should be returned, warm and steadfast.

Mr. Kitajima, a famous contemporary poet and outstanding representative of obscure poetry, said in "Green Lantern": "People who do not understand tradition, just like travelers without maps, cannot travel far." Regarding the aspect of "history" in "Double Perfection of Book History", Mr. Qingxing undoubtedly uses the calligraphy tradition as a hiking guide, running around the north and south of the great river, Shi Hai hooks and sinks, and the ancient right text.

He belongs to the type of calligrapher who first participated in the exhibition, won the award and then obtained his academic qualifications, was the silver medalist of the "First Calligraphy Lanting Award", the highest award of Chinese calligraphy, and worked at the Hubei Academy of Fine Arts after graduating from the Master of Calligraphy of Shandong Academy of Arts in 2007. After that, the steps did not stop, did not fall into the clouds, all the way. Generous and ordinary under the lamp, the wind and waves are full of nostalgia, traveling through different regional cultures, Mr. Qingxing carefully searched for the location and cause of the richness of calligraphy, which invisibly increased his deep taste of the height and meaning of art.

He is devoted to the study of the history of regional calligraphy, and many contemporary and historical calligraphy topics under the macroscopic perspective, from the academic professional point of view, to dispel the mystery, comb the context, comment on the table, the points are critical, never do forced to deduct the topic, to avoid the reins of the horse, the mud and sand. Over the years, the pen in his hand, warm and warm, has been unwilling to lose to all kinds of coolness from the world, "huan has articles", and has borne fruitful academic "fruitful results", in terms of papers, there are "Metaphorical Thinking and The Cognition of Calligraphic Images, The Psychological Analysis of the Generation Mechanism - On the Creation of Calligraphy-based Calligraphy", "Between Elegant Customs - A Case Study on the Recognition and Reshaping of the Ming and Qing Dynasty Xiangyang Region", "The Acquisition and Construction of Orthography and Calligraphic Glyph Styles", "Metaphorical Analogy and the Generation of Calligraphic Imagery", "The Generation of Calligraphic Imagery", "The Creation of Calligraphic Imagery", "The Case Study of the Recognition and Reshaping of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in Xiangyang Region", "The Acquisition and Construction of Orthography and Calligraphic Glyph Style", "Metaphorical Analogy and the Generation of Calligraphic Imagery", "The Generation of Calligraphy Imagery", "The Creation of Calligraphy Imagery". Wuchang Cun Ancient School and the Beginning of Education in Modern Higher Calligraphy Disciplines" and dozens of other articles; in terms of monographs, they are mainly published by the People's Literature Publishing House "Wanli Book Altar - Xing Tong Case Study", Hubei Fine Arts Publishing House's "MiaoZhai Calligraphy Miscellaneous Theory", China Peace Publishing House's "Jingchu Calligraphy Research", etc.; and the editor-in-chief's "National Chu Calligraphy Works Exhibition Collection" and so on.

To tell the truth, a person's academic and humanistic atmosphere is difficult to be hidden, the mind of a historian, the sensitivity of the artist, the feeling of the ancient style, in the folding of Vientiane naturally achieves a touch of the world. It is better to listen to the voice of Mr. Qingxing: "For me, calligraphy teaching, calligraphy research, and calligraphy creation constitute the main content of my calligraphy activities, so 'writing' also runs through it. In teaching, I also like to find a brush in my hand in my research, and I will write about the paragraphs, materials, or transcriptions, or notes of interest in the header. The improvised brushwork allowed me to experience a kind of writing pleasure in the seemingly simple and boring data review. ”

As usual in the world, no one can be the protagonist of the idol drama who is destined, and there can be too much hanging on the body. Camus said, "The soul takes a lifetime to form." "Looking at myself, as an art editing professional who has been halfway out of the family and married for others, he is still a teenager who has just opened his heart for the real art of calligraphy and painting, and is between the solution of the neighbor's style and the unsolved. However, in the gradual and abrupt life phases, the reason why I prefer to communicate and ask for benefits with artists who rush to the starry night like Mr. Qingxing, to see that they will follow the wind and snow for many years, years of people and things, follow the pen and ink, the sky is long gone, and the world road has long been accustomed, this heart is everywhere in a peaceful state of mind, because when the Spring Festival of Nongyin is about to pass, secretly looking at the one left in the card of his life to be buckled, suddenly there is a heart of late years, "A lake of oblique words and half a paper book, two reminiscences of the rivers and lakes. ”
