Yang Dingfeng, male, graduate degree, Hunan Chaling people, researcher of the Chinese Academy of Ethnic Calligraphy and Painting, deputy director of the Calligraphy and Painting Art Professional Committee of the China Mass Culture Society, member of the Provincial Calligraphers Association, Hunan Provincial Hard Pen Calligraphy Association, Hunan Xiangjiang Calligraphy and Painting Institute Council Member, Standing Director of the Provincial Financial Calligraphers Association, member of the Provincial Straight Calligraphers Association, loved calligraphy since childhood, and copied Liu Gongquan, Ouyang Inquiry, Wang Xizhi, Mi Fu and other famous calligraphy posters for many years, which are self-contained and unique in style. His works have been published by many publications such as People's Daily, Hunan Daily, and China Sedum Art, and his works have been made into rare stamp albums by China Post for five consecutive major national events.
I have known the famous calligrapher Mr. Yang Dingfeng for more than ten years. We are like-minded, have a lot of contacts, have many times to Mr. Dingfeng's hometown of Chaling Yaoshui Town, to find the source of his calligraphy culture, talk about ancient trees, poetry, discuss calligraphy art and creation, talk and laugh more and more feel that Chaling Yao Water Town mountains and water, simple folk customs, thick and honest character in Mr. Dingfeng is vividly reflected, we sometimes jokingly call him "Chaling Niu".
Practice pro post gui insist
Mr. Dingfeng is the most insistent calligrapher I have ever seen practicing calligraphy. Wang Xizhi turned his own pond into an ink pond, which is a kind of persistence. Dong Qichang grew up in Linti, and when he was old, he did not forget Linti, which is also a kind of persistence. The word "persistence" is too easy to say and too difficult to do. It is easy to persist in one day, it is difficult to persist in a year; it is even more difficult to persist in one year, and it is even more difficult to persist in ten years; it is even more difficult to persist in ten years. No matter how busy Mr. Dingfeng is at work, he has to write a few strokes as soon as he has time, and the "Daily Book" never rests 365 days a year, which makes people admire and admire.
In the words of Mr. Dingfeng, if you want to write a good hand, you must find the true scriptures from the ancients. Pro-posting is a long-term process, after practicing for a few days, you will give up, you will waste your time, you must practice every day, insist on practicing. If the interruption is too long, then the feel will be born, and the ability to control the pen will decrease. Therefore, calligraphy is a very test of a person's patience, long-term persistence, exercise people's patience, and cultivate people's body and mind.
Calligraphy live broadcast first person
Mr. DingFeng is a calligrapher I have ever met who innovates with the times. In 2018, he and Yingke Live launched a public welfare calligraphy live broadcast activity in Changsha. This is not only his first live calligraphy broadcast, but also the first calligraphy live broadcast attempt of Yingke Live to practice the "live broadcast +" strategy, aiming to "carry forward the main theme and stimulate positive energy". Now every year, he will regularly carry out calligraphy public welfare live broadcasts and popularization activities on mainstream mobile Internet platforms such as Yingke Live, Douyin, Kuaishou, WeChat, Baidu and so on.
Mr. Ding Feng said that calligraphy is not only an elegant traditional art, but also a tool for transmitting positive energy. Public welfare live broadcasting can allow more people to participate in public welfare undertakings, and second, it is to spread the national art of calligraphy through live broadcasting.
Vietnam Veterans' Public Welfare
Mr. DingFeng is the most charitable and caring calligrapher I have ever met. He has participated in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam and has a sincere love for public welfare. All the reward proceeds obtained during each live calligraphy broadcast were donated to veterans who participated in the self-defense war against Vietnam and returned to their hometowns with difficulties. As long as it is an invitation to a public welfare activity, he will find a way to find time to actively participate. This reflects the public welfare feelings of Vietnam Veterans.
Mr. Dingfeng believes that the art of calligraphy is the cultivation of human nature and the self-confidence of culture. Calligraphy is a public good, with traditional virtues. Calligraphy and public welfare are integrated with each other, complement each other, realize each other's value, and make calligraphy and public welfare more attractive.
The creation is rigorous into a Yang body
Mr. Dingfeng is the most rigorous calligrapher I have ever met. Not as we think, in one fell swoop. Sometimes when I accompany him to create, we are for one or two words how to write to check the provenance, repeated writing, as long as there is a word he is not satisfied with, he will not formally write and create, which shows the rigor of his creative attitude. Because of this, his calligraphy is very pictographic and self-contained. He has his unique experience of the distribution, structure, and use of pens in calligraphy, requiring unity in staggering and changing with encounters. The combination of wrapping and hiding, fat and thin, sparse and dense, simple and complex and other opposing factors, just like the beauty of the bones, flesh, fat, charm and charm. In terms of rules, we pay attention to the overall charm, take into account the details, and become self-contained.
Mr. Ding Feng explained that when I write works, I first write in the newspaper several times, familiar with the content and at the same time determine the writing method of the word, satisfied before the formal creation, this hard and rigorous is not the industry most of the masters can understand, this is what everyone calls the Yang body creation process.
The art of calligraphy is good as sour, sweet and bitter, some people prefer upright and elegant calligraphy, some people prefer vivid and smooth grass, and I only love Mr. Dingfeng's Yang body. His works have distinct themes, profound intentions, slender and beautiful, thick and rough, advocating tradition, pursuing innovation, with strong artistic expression and appeal, full of charm, worthy of their own Yang body.
