"Ask more and more, and the wind comes." It is a Zen mood, and the poem is written in the heart. Wei Kaigong is a powerful calligrapher and a poet of great strength, which can be described as opening the bow left and right, and the poetry and books are both mao.
Works by Wei Kaigong
Wei Kaigong had already revealed his calligraphy artistic talent in his youth, and was closely known to Wu Zhangshu and Chen Fangjie, and in 1987 he was elected as the chairman of the Honghu Calligraphers Association, and in 1998 he held a solo calligraphy exhibition at the Hubei Provincial Art Museum. His calligraphy is mainly studied in the Han and Wei monuments, as well as The steles of Wang Xizhi, Yan Zhenqing, Mi Fu, Wang Duo, Kang Youwei, Wang Yuchang and other major steles, especially good at "Kang (Youwei) body". "The ancient ink is lightly ground with a few incense, and the new bath of the Yanchi is bright and shiny." Wei Kaigong writes Spring and Autumn, waving Fang Shuo, whether it is between white paper and black characters, or daily trivial life experience, he can always write Han Tang Wei Jin, Ink Sheng Fengyun, between calligraphy and poetry, the palm of his hand is forgotten, like the Zen person's comprehensive escape, come and go freely. Between pity and hope, sleepiness and exploration, compassion and perseverance, the spiritual atmosphere that Wei Kaigong infuses in his works is out of the blue, figurative, whirlwind and retreat, and is always in the middle of a big style in the midst of falling, arrogance and thickness. Wei Kaigong also has a heart for Dan, he is keen on public welfare, holding charity auctions to support poor students, planning large-scale exhibitions, actively participating in the social practice of calligraphy art, covering a wide range of topics and achieving remarkable achievements.
See the words as the face, the pen and ink are fragrant as the taste of life, in the daily life scene to open the ink, paper life for a thousand years is the will, bone power is the infusion of the spirit, the bloom of the heart, the tempering of practice. Wei Kaigong is talented and intelligent, but he does not quit his pen, his calligraphy is gentle and elegant, majestic and beautiful, into the ancient times, not to seek innovation and new self-creation. Wei Kaigong's conversion to tradition is not a rule-abiding, but a real inheritance, and he has achieved compatibility and integration, that is, inheriting the wind bone of traditional inscriptions upwards, compatibility with the innovative pen and ink of others downwards, breaking the shackles of anti-ink and conformism, and in the ancient and modern, he has a unique and beautiful thought, quite a mo family style.
"Therefore, the book is also the one who learns the heart; the writer, the writer is also the one who writes the zhi." (Liu Xizai's "Outline of Art") In general, Wei Kaigong's calligraphy has reached the realm of Zen enlightenment, he writes with the heart of entering the world, carries the pen in the chest, and scoops the ink Danqing at the place where the pen is dropped. The pen power is evident in the line of writing, and the ideological texture and spiritual gold content of the works have high collection value. The rules created by Wei Kaigong are rigorous, demanding a kind of aesthetic law of artistic conception, and every bit is extremely serious, with the overall comparison layout of the pen and ink color, in the spirit of the ethereal, take the law to seek the Tao. Pen sex ink feelings, all based on their human temperament, between the clouds and the flowing water, Wei Kaigong ink is free, a little into a word of the rule, if the Honghu flying high, Miao Miao.
Wei Kaigong studied hard at a young age, and learned well in his youth, he was an inspirational calligrapher who became famous in the early days, and his pen and ink feelings made him settle down between the square inches, and he was also inseparable in poetry and wine. And the "wine" here is the ink fragrance of its inscription, it is true that its people's heavy drinking lyrics, raising a glass to invite Mingyue is also a person in temperament. The "Workers' Cultural Palace" located in the downtown area of Honghu Lake has stood for more than 30 years, which is enough to witness his deep affection for the blood thicker than the water of his hometown and nostalgia. Wei Kaigong is loyal and frank, polite and easy-going, always enters the world with compassion and goodwill, and the unity of knowledge and action is appropriately integrated between the internalization and externalization of his calligraphy, and it is naturally connected. Wei Kaigong was good at writing, taking the Fa Kang Youwei, and using it mostly to write couplets, banners, list books or inscriptions; at the same time, his zhangcao Han yong contemporary chapter grass everyone Wang Yuchang, and then traced back to the Qin and Han seals, mostly used as banners, sketches, etc. In both xingshu and zhangcao, the courage and wisdom of the pen are supported by a higher professional education, not within the rules, just outside the round and broken shell, perhaps his "unconventional" pen is a kind of self-writing charm highlighted, and the sheath of the pen power also vividly reveals the happiness and boldness of the heart. It is true that Wei Kaigong's calligraphy is readable, but also can withstand the test of time and polishing, he abandoned the imitation of showmanship and appearance, but carefully created a fixed "Wei style" style, if there is a wind under the pen, in fact, it is a kind of "ink is colorful" true skill, the beauty of traditional art In addition to poetry and bookishness, the most important thing is the "spiritual weather" of the work, which is obviously well deserved here in Wei Kaigong.
With the words to hold the zhi, the poetry is lyrical, Wei Kaigong also left many lines of poetry in the flow of pen and ink, which said that calligraphy is his life taste, and poetry is the sound of the waves in his body. Just like re-encountering Su Shi Wang Wei Zhao Meng, the diversity that appears in his literary geography also allows the poem to find its original "face", the poetic wanton nature, the bold nihilistic temperament or the sense of life weight gathered in the clarity. "Acacia Moon / Heavenly Purple Lake Mirror Like / Calm and Lonely / Poet's Wildness and Chanting / Breaking the Tranquility of the Past / The Ripples of the Lake Extend to the Lake / Pipa Sound / Big Pearls and Small Pearls Falling jade plates", when the moonlight of poetry comes, in the poet Wei Kaigong can listen to the low and powerful sound of compassion, in the embrace of the earth, language is the will of dialogue and communication. The poet's inner examination, the observation of all things gives a deep and affectionate understanding, opens the watching eye to the outside world, and issues an inner invitation to everything that exists and nothingness, and it is true that the poet is immersed in a poetic life, so that poetry becomes the internal feeling of self-spiritual willpower or language and writing. "All the notes will make you hysterical surging passion / wisps of fragrant light smoke", in the poet's own erhu performance, he completely forgets himself in the landscape and water world, and the simplicity, sincerity and spontaneity of personality instantly open in the poem.
"Closed homes and homes are alone, and plum blossoms bloom." The spring scenery of the year is not appreciated, and the paper is full of vitality and pens. This is a seven-word poem by the poet Wei Kaigong, who is neat and tidy before and after, and the emotions of Ping Shu are also handled appropriately, and "full of paper and vitality" is also vividly and interestingly presenting a positive and full anti-epidemic mentality, fighting the epidemic with poetry and books, which is the best combination of thoughts and actions of poets and calligraphers. And "the flowers of the years bloom purple and red, and today is not the same as in the past." The stone steps dripped with tears, and the moon was empty by the willow lake. ("Gengzi Li Spring Night") highlights the poet's yearning for a better life, "stone steps dripping with tears" is a metaphorical feeling, the poet is like a plain paper copying the state of mind, constantly touching a flowing thick sense of hidden melancholy, the poet is sentimental, but also in the exchange of a certain mood of reality in the language. "The sky under the moon by the willow lake" is to make such feelings have a sense of disillusionment between the nothingness, and also implies a deep hope and expectation. "Emptiness" has more heavy ideological bearing in traditional culture, and it is true that the poet has the emotional result of landing after self-mellow thinking, and letting go or letting go is the best liberation for the present.
Asked Xiang Hanmo, poems to Fu Jiangcheng. With his profound education, Wei Bei's bone-like personality charm, and his determined and tenacious fighting spirit, Wei Kaigong has expressed his sincere thoughts and feelings in an immersive manner in the long and arduous more than fifty years of writing and ink. Looking down on the world in the quiet and lonely, extracting the spiritual demeanor of the roots in the organic composition of words, Wei Kaigong, a calligrapher and poet, has obviously opened up his artistic territory. Proficient in calligraphy, studying poetry, and being happy to play erhu, these open and multi-dimensional art forms and emotional fields are more and more purely reflecting the eruption state of an artist's creation, passionate and cheerful, resilient and rational, and dare to go deep into the lonely state of life to perceive, discover and understand. "Ten years of cold window suffering" Wei Kaigong has always been superb and leaping towards the holy land of poetry and books in his heart, and has also continuously refined the wisdom of understanding and transparency in life from forbearance and experience, and only the lyricism cultivated by the spirit of thought can be endless, and in Wei Kaigong's profound and exuberant secret thought garden, it is nurturing the beauty of his metaphysical poetry and book art. "Divine poetry writing" is the Zen of looking up at the stars, and in the balance of shaking hands with trivial life and sharing with Zen meditation, Wei Kaigong is imitating the present world and life, a brand-new chapter of the era that belongs to the call of his own mission.
