The reason why "no pen" is important is that it is back to basics and unrestrained. As the final understanding of art and life becomes more complete, the masterpieces of the masters often reach the state of being fascinating and natural. At the end of life, whether it is the object of calligraphy and painting or the technique, or the positioning of the work, all of them are put down. All in all, the masterpiece is the truest confession of the heart issued by the artist before his death.
【Zhang Daqian】
In July 1981, at the request of Li Haitian, a famous overseas Chinese leader in Yokohama, Japan, 83 years old, Zhang Daqian drew a "Map of Lushan Mountain" for the lobby of his hotel, although Zhang Daqian traveled all over China, Lushan was a place where he had never walked in person, so choosing this theme was a self-challenge to his artistic career.
Zhang Daqian's "Lushan Map" is huge and partial
When Mr. Daqian made this painting, his physical condition was very poor, he was often hospitalized for treatment, and he dropped out of painting, and because the picture was too large, he had to be carried to the painting table and painted on his stomach, which was extremely difficult. Even sometimes the heart is uncomfortable, and after taking medicine and resting, he still continues to fight for his life to paint.
Later, because the museum asked to exhibit the painting and his recent works together in 1983, Mr. Ōchi made his last rush to work, only inscribing two poems and not signing. After the museum exhibition is returned, Ōchihara intends to make further polishing and modification with the permission of his physical condition. Unfortunately, he entered the hospital on March 8, 1983, and died on April 2, 1983, and was unable to complete and settle the payment.
【Kingdom Dimension】
Wang Guowei is an outstanding academic master in literature, aesthetics, historiography, philosophy, ancient scripts, archaeology and other aspects in modern and contemporary China. On June 2, 1927, he jumped and died in Kunming Lake. The world of life came and went in a hurry, leaving only a suicide note of "fifty years, only one death, after this life, there is no more humiliation".
Wang Guowei's suicide note
Interpretation: Fifty years, only one death is owed, and after this life, there is no more humiliation. After my death, when the coffin was buried in the qinghua land, Ru and others could not return to the south, and could also live in the city temporarily. Brother Ru did not have to run to mourn, because the road was impassable, and the canal had been out of the house. Books can be handled by Mr. Chen (Chen Yinke) and Wu (Wu Mi). Since the family has someone to take care of it, it will not be impossible to return to the south. Although I have no property, no money, etc., but I am prudent and thrifty, I will not starve to death. The first two days of May.
Wang Guowei's suicide note, now in the National Library of Beijing. His characters are not lacking in Jin rhymes and Tang methods, and the neutral realm and Confucian elegance contained in his works are quite scholarly, which undoubtedly has similarities with his personality and reading quality, and this calligraphy is rigorous, simple and simple, calm and calm.
【Li Shutong】
At 8 p.m. on October 13, 1942 (the fourth day of the ninth lunar month), Master Hongyi (Li Shutong) died peacefully in the evening room of the Wenling Nursing Home in Quanzhou, Fujian Province. Three days before his death, he wrote down the four words "Intersection of Sorrow and Joy" and handed it to the waiter, Master Myo Lian, for his final writing.
Looking at his pen and ink, the ink color of the seven characters of "The Intersection of Sorrow and Joy, Seeing the Guan Jing", is moist and withered, and it is written in one breath, while the three words of "Seeing the Guan Jing" are all thirsty pens that are rubbed and rubbed, and the pen is slow. The pen withered and then dipped in ink, drawing a full circle of ink below. Then write the date in small print, and the ink is plump. According to the convention of writing, the date should have been written in the lower left corner, because it was forced, moved to the top right, and the layout was balanced.
This handwriting, small in size, thirsty for pencil, and unprinted, is very different from the books that Master Hongyi had arranged properly in the past. However, the "intersection of sorrow and joy" also conveys the state of mind of compassion for sentient beings who have sunk into the suffering of life and death, and rejoiced in their past lives and left the bitterness and happiness, so this farewell sign has a unique power to shake people's hearts.
【Pan Tianshou】
Pan Tianshou, the word Is big. He was taught by Jing Hengyi and Uncle Li. Freehand Flowers and Birds first learned Wu Changshuo, and later took the Fa Shi Tao and the Bada Shanren. Modern Chinese calligrapher, painter and educator.
Pan Tianshou's poems
Interpretation: Thousands of mountains and mountains, the peaks of the mountains are good. Forty years apart, people are not old. Don't be narrow in the room, but the heart is wide with the heavens and the earth. If you can avoid weaving, there have been grievances since ancient times. Not because of Luo's sin, the pain of escaping from the name is not lost. Knowing that you deserve to return, when you have a needle in pain.
This work was written in a hurry under extraordinary conditions, and there is no need to discuss pen and ink in detail, and to look down on life and death, in order to be so calm. The predecessors said that poetry and poetry cannot be used here.
【Lin Sanzhi】
According to Lin Sangzhi's son Lin Changgeng recalled: "My father drank some ginseng juice, closed his eyes and recuperated for more than half an hour, and wrote the four words 'Born to Become a Buddha' on rice paper with a weak pen.
He sat with his eyes closed, looking so serene and detached. He seems to be telling us that he is about to come to the end of this world, to another world. On December 6, 1989, Lin Sanzhi died at the age of 92.
【QiGong】
At the beginning of 2005, when Mr. QiGong was asked to write an inscription for the soon-to-be-opened Jianchuan Museum, Mr. Qigong had been admitted to Peking University Hospital for several months and was extremely weak. But on the hospital bed, he still raised his eyebrows with one hand and struggled to write down the words "Chengdu Jianchuan Museum". Soon, Mr. Qi Gong's illness worsened and he entered a deep coma for several months until he left the human world.
Mr. Qi Gong, who is 93 years old, finally inscribed "Chengdu Jianchuan Museum". At this point, the last chinese calligraphy master in the classical sense passed away. This lovely and kind old man left us.
【Wu Guanzhong】
On June 25, 2010, Mr. Wu Guanzhong died of illness in Beijing at the age of 91. He once wrote: "If you think of me, go and see my paintings!" "Phantom", "Nest", "Dream Awakening" and "Leisure" are the four masterpieces he made before his death, can you feel the endless meaning after reading these paintings?

【Qi Baishi】
On September 16, 1957, Qi Baishi died in Beijing Hospital, leaving behind a series of precious paintings for future generations to enjoy.
Qi Baishi "Gourd"
Compared with Qi Baishi's other works, this gourd painting is weak and dragging, and the painting of only 2 square feet has five errors.
The first mistake was that the word "year" on the falling section was written incorrectly; the second was that the self-signed age of the falling section was wrong, and the actual age of Qi Baishi at that time was 93 years old; the third was to draw a gourd with a light pen gourd leaf; the fourth was to add a stroke to the gourd and break two holes; the fifth was to draw the gourd vine with thick ink, which also painted the appearance of a gourd.
This "flaw-ridden" painting fetched a sky-high price of 22.4 million yuan at the 2010 Jiade Autumn Auction, which is more than ten times that of Qi Baishi's fine gourd paintings. The reason why this work is valuable is precisely because it has been circulated in the street, this is Qi Baishi's last painting, he died shortly after the painting, it is a masterpiece, so this painting has an extraordinary and special significance.
In the words of Li Keyan, the old man is completely in a confused state and uses instinct to paint. This is the most absolute place of this painting, and what is even more absolute is that the use of pen and ink of this vine has reached the realm of nature.
This is not a hand painting at all, but a lifetime of spirit in command of his hand and pen, a few strokes will show the charm of the gourd and the spiritual realm of people, and the things contained in the pen and ink are always not enough for people to see, this is simply a divine work!
