He is a white banana, a calligrapher who cherishes traditional skills. He advocated the Wei and Jin rhymes in classicism, and the aesthetics of calligraphy took the "two kings" as the sect, and strived to create a realm of calligraphy that was elegant and elegant, natural and beautiful.
As a traditional calligrapher of the skill type, Bai Banana's use of pen, ink, dot painting, knotting, and plot layout has reached a wonderful state of pure fire, and the calligraphy is almost perfect. Mr. Sha Menghai once praised him: "In the past three hundred years, there have been very few people who have been able to do this." ”
Bai Banana not only has a high level of calligraphy, but also has many unique insights in calligraphy theory. For example, the following book published by the Vientiane Library in the 35th year of the Republic of China contains the white banana "Cursive Calligraphy Method", which can be called a cursive copying model, with a pure charm, fresh and elegant, worth a look!
When Bai Shuo talked about the study of calligraphy, he also said a sentence to the effect that it is impossible to only learn the technique, and the highest level of the technique is only the "pavilion style".
Generally speaking, "pavilion style" refers to the kind of calligraphy that is meticulously written with a pen and a straight body plate. Especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties, due to the needs of the imperial examination, many students who rushed to take the examination wrote out the words that were generally decent, horizontal and vertical. This is the typical "pavilion style".
The "pavilion body" looks really beautiful, and it is more in line with most people's aesthetics. In particular, it is in line with the aesthetics of public friends who have never been exposed to calligraphy. However, in the eyes of calligraphy masters, the "pavilion body" is as boring as the printing body, although the pen power is there, but it lacks some personalized expression.
Bai Banana also has its own set of calligraphy theories, which make people feel clear and deep, and very naturally and easily explain many large and complex problems.
About writing. He advocated that "how to write, this problem is as simple and ordinary as how to use chopsticks"; regarding the selection of posts, he said: "It is really like marriage, it is a lifelong event, and the choice of the other party should make up his own mind"; about the stele and the post, he said: "The stele and the post are like the two wings of the bird, the two wheels of the car." The stele version can be learned, and the stele must be learned first. Monuments are grand, and the posts are scattered. Regarding the brilliance of the characters, he said: "The writing must be alive, and the officials should stop and act in a divine manner, such as silk and bamboo, and the afterglow is lingering; the beauty is self-evident and radiant."
Learn this, and I'm sure you'll be able to write a good hand too!
