Zen heart casts true meaning The calligraphy shows the wonderful realm
——Remembering the famous calligrapher Cui Lunkun
The art of calligraphy can be said to be a great treasure in the traditional culture of the mainland, and Buddhist culture has formed a strong relationship with the art of calligraphy for a period of time, and as a mainstream sect, the integration of Buddhism is not only to bring a new theme inspiration and creative ideas to calligraphy, from the perspective of artistic development and cultural inheritance, this is a cultural intersection with rich influence and far-reaching results! However, looking at the whole book world today, the calligraphers who can understand the Zen heart in Hanmo and feel the traces in the calligraphy, except for Mr. Cui Lunkun, no one else can reach such a book state! Its own calligraphy can take the traditional method, can draw the pure qi of the Buddha's door, and the many books are reflected in the deep clarity of the heart, and the view of the linpin is transcendent, which is to embrace the simplicity and keep the truth!
As a calligrapher, if the pen and ink skills are not yet stable and firm, and they are willing to seek far and far to innovate, then the calligraphy works he eventually creates may not become a good style, and even become a kind of custom like Dong Shi Gong! As for the calligraphy creators who are obsessed with the exhibition all day long, they are even more embarrassed by the name of the calligrapher, and at best they are only bookmakers! The real sense of calligraphy is that it is appropriate to cultivate both inside and outside, and to be virtuous and artistic, and today's Mr. Cui Lunkun is obviously like this! As a calligrapher of the new era, Mr. Cui Lunkun did not abandon the traditional creative mantle like the traditional pen, but on this basis, he further combined the charm of Zen Buddha, and every character structure and pen and ink shape in his works have also been changed by a certain realm, and the pen and ink between the pen and ink are expected to be reflected, the brushwork makes the turn without losing the vertical and horizontal, the ink rhyme is thick and not stagnant, it is said that it is not separated, round and beautiful! The aesthetic perspective of the banner characters sometimes has the scene of devout worship of Guanyin, and sometimes there is the image of the Buddha Pudu sentient beings, but no matter what kind of imagery, the Buddha character in the work is to integrate the dense changes of pen and ink and the gathering and dispersion of lines into one, and every time it becomes a scene, it is appropriate and natural!
All in all, Mr. Cui Lunkun's Zen Heart Calligraphy is undoubtedly a true artistic conception, and the reason why his own calligraphy attainment can reach this realm is nothing more than two factors! The first is because Mr. Hanmo's context is a certain integration and association with the traditional Zen culture, and the other is because Mr. Hanmo's statue can fully resonate with the viewer's mind! Capture the essence of culture and the context of the times!
Zen heart casts true meaning, and the calligraphy shows the wonderful realm. Pleasing to the eye is the most basic external expression of a calligraphy work, and what is more important than pleasing to the eye is that it should be the cultural connotation and spirit contained in the work! Today' Buddhist characters created by Mr. Cui Lunkun are precisely the double cultivation of external aesthetics and inner spirit! Rich in the degree of perfection, with the true meaning of the artistic conception, the words outside the deep, the words inside the rhyme, this style, sincerely extraordinary!
