Han Mo is fragrant
I remember Wang Jiankun, a national first-class calligrapher and academician of the Chinese Academy of Calligraphy and Painting
Reporter Han Ting
There is no road in the world, and the more people walk on the grass or the wasteland, the road extends under your feet. And why did Jiankun take the road of calligraphy and painting art? The reporter has been in contact with Jiankun for more than 50 years, when his family lived in the Nanyang Building of the college gate, and later moved to the three-bedroom and one hall of the family building of the unit, he had a small house, the area was about ten square meters, a table, a bed, in addition to the space left for him by the bed, that is, the room was full of books. Although the burrow is small, it does not fall because of small, and it is not ugly because of simplicity. With superhuman boldness, broad mind, and unrestrained galloping in his artistic world. His early calligraphy works were born in this simple and burrow. Some of these works participated in provincial and national calligraphy exhibitions, and some of them crossed the sea to Fuso. The works are full of the artistic atmosphere of life and the rich atmosphere of life. All the spaces on the four walls are mottled with his new calligraphy.

1. Visit famous teachers to learn calligraphy and painting
Jiankun loves calligraphy. Also like calligraphy in cursive and calligraphy, the reason is influenced by the family, his grandfather and grandfather are cultural people, in the late 1960s successively came to Kaifeng, Jiankun 6 years old often let him write brush characters, after the school brush characters red, in the class his red strokes are the top three. The teacher drew a red circle on his red book. His serious study of calligraphy depended entirely on a chance. At the age of 8, he went to the vegetable market in front of the college to queue up to buy vegetables and met Cai Dequan, a famous calligrapher in Kaifeng. Cai Dequan lost the small book that bought vegetables and tickets. At that time, Jiankun handed Cai Dequan the ticket for buying vegetables that month. More than a year later, Cai Dequan was bruised, and it was Jiankun who sent him to his home across the county street school, where his brush writing could be seen everywhere in three rooms. Since then, the two people have formed an indissoluble relationship. Wang Jiankun worshiped him as his teacher;
Kaifeng gave birth to the history and culture of the Upper Han and Tang Dynasties, the Lower Qi, the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the creation place of the Qingming Dynasty and the Upper River Map. Jiankun, who has loved calligraphy since childhood, actually had the opportunity to meet niu Guangfu, an artist of "Virtue and Art Shuangxin"; it was in the autumn of 1987, studying in the calligraphy training class of the Kaifeng Calligraphy and Painting Correspondence School (kaifeng third middle school was changed to a vocational high school) An elderly man was in the classroom, Mr. Kind-eyed and a little familiar, I wondered who this was, and suddenly remembered that he had gone to my home to find my father. He introduced himself and said, "Niu Guangfu is so happy to know everyone, is there a student from Changyuan Nationality?" I raised my hand and signaled: "I was born in Kaifeng, my place of origin is Huaxian County, and Wang Shouheng is my father." The Old Shore Brigade of Shejia Commune in Changyuan County is my grandfather's family, but we are fellow villagers? Mr. Wang Thought for a moment and said: "Wang Aizhong should be your grandfather, in fact, his name is Wang Enfu, he is an enlightened person, your father and brothers four people joined the revolution, the first three in the family ranking, we are all teachers and alumni." ”
Since I can remember, I have often seen this sentence copied by my father in the books at home, "The wonderful way of the book is the best of the spirit, the quality of the form is secondary, and the one who is at the same time can be less than the ancients." This is the southern dynasty calligrapher Wang Shengqian's judgment on the aesthetic standards of calligraphy in his book "Pen Yi Zan". That is to say, people often say that the key to calligraphy and painting works is to look at temperament; when learning calligraphy theory with Mr. He, he told me: "Why Wang Duo's post is not like Wang Xizhi's post, it is because the post should have a sense of posting, but also have its own calligraphy style." There are many famous masters in the history of the "Orchid Pavilion Preface", why the results are different, this is why. My calligraphy has the phenomenon of letter and pen as the body and the formation of ink, Mr. said: "To learn calligraphy, we must remember its shape and god, and when we study the post, we must keep the essence of the essence, and when we come to a post, the calligraphy work must deal with the relationship between small and large." Give you a poem, you look at the post and write the words out, that is, 'Xiaocheng', write it down on your back is 'Dacheng', cycle the past, suck a hundred homes and become your own. "My father once told me that my husband was a few years above him, and his original name was Niu Xingyan, the word Guangfu, and the number "Old Cow". Usually, he humbled himself as a "widow cow", also known as the Boyuli people and the Aoi ugly people, and he regarded himself as a centenarian when he was old. He studied calligraphy with his father since childhood, and later studied with his fellow villager Xiang Xinfeng. Based on Tang Kai, he also practiced Wang Xizhi's Xiaokai, and told Zhao Deyu and Wang how to learn calligraphy. Entered the teacher's training, began to study Wei Monument, and studied the "Twenty Pins of Dragon Gate". In his later years, he devoted himself to calligraphy education and calligraphy exchanges, trained many students, and founded the Kaifeng Calligraphy Correspondence University, hired famous teachers Han Weiye, Sang Fan and others to cultivate calligraphy rookies, and promoted the inheritance of Chinese calligraphy art; Mr. Guangfu, who was born in October 1913, completed his life path in January 2014. He is my mentor and friend and my elder, maybe this is fate. Han Mo lyrical feelings, calligraphy to send true feelings, Mr. cultivated the book world all his life, not forgetting to promote the younger generations, for the calligraphy to cultivate new people, its spirit will be recorded in the annals of history, left to future generations to emulate and praise.
In 2016, with calligrapher Han Weiye and others, he met with calligraphers and gained a lot of gains, and Jiankun learned cursive characters and cursive character roots with Teacher Han. Teacher Han is modest and low-key. He is a scholar-type calligrapher who combines calligraphy creation, calligraphy theory and calligraphy education. He is a librarian of the Henan Provincial Research Museum of Literature and History, a member of the Chinese Calligraphers Association, a professor of calligraphy at the Correspondence University of Chinese Calligraphy and Painting, a professor of calligraphy at Kaifeng University for the Elderly, a vice president of the Kaifeng Elderly Calligraphy and Painting Research Association, a visiting professor of calligraphy at Kaifeng Institute of Education, and a vice chairman of the Kaifeng Calligraphers Association. He studied under the famous calligraphers Wu Muyao and Li Zipei, and was good at the five bodies of seal, li, kai, xing and grass, and was proficient in Wei stele and cursive writing. He WeiBei Sect Yunfeng Mountain stone carving, cursive Calligraphy Sect Second King. In addition to the strong traditional skills of the above two bodies, they all have their distinct personalities.
Mr. Wei Ye's calligraphy is elegant in style, and also incorporates the brushwork of Zhang Yuzhao, Zhao Zhiqian, Kang Youwei, Yu Youren and other Wei inscriptions; Cursive or alpine flowing water, or horse reins, dashing and majestic. He has been engaged in calligraphy education for many years, and many of the students he has trained have won international and domestic calligraphy awards. Because he was a famous calligrapher, there were many disciples, just as Confucius said: "Peach and plum do not speak, and the next is self-made." In terms of calligraphy theory, he has made great achievements and has a lot of insights. He believes that when engaging in calligraphy art, we should pay attention to "double": both heavy books and more character; To achieve the "three dependences": to become a talent depends on hard work, fame depends on opportunities, and a family depends on cultivation; It is necessary to have "two functions, two qi, and two edges": that is, the internal and external functions of the word, the golden stone qi, the scroll qi, the character edge and the human relationship. If you fail to do these basic principles, you cannot be considered a true calligrapher.
In the spring of 2017, when Wang Jiankun and his peers went to Beijing to participate in the "Beijing Chinese Painting Artists Association" 10th Anniversary Member Exhibition, Mr. Liu Baoshan, the vice president of the China Academy of Calligraphy and Painting, a famous calligrapher, told Wang Jiankun that we should visit Mr. Liang Yonghe, a famous master of calligraphy and painting in the mainland, and it is also a kind of fate to have the opportunity to get to know Mr. Liang Yonghe. Coming to Mr. Liang Yonghe's studio, the sun lazily shines on the studio of the famous master of calligraphy and painting Mr. Liang Yonghe, whose studio is full of precious flowers and trees, arranged in a staggered manner, and the dark bonsai trees are painted with a layer of bright colors, and the flowers are also scrambling to absorb the luster of the sun. The branches and leaves did not seem to have completely freed themselves from the shackles of winter, and they seemed to be afraid of the cold outside, cowering and shrinking out of the green tips, carefully observing everything outside.
Liang Yonghe is the vice president of the Global Celebrity Cultural Association and the president of Art Spring magazine. He is an academician of the Beijing Century Celebrity International Academy of Calligraphy and Painting and the president of the Soong Ching Ling Calligraphy and Painting Art Research Institute. Vice President of Beijing Celebrity Calligraphy and Painting Institute, President of China Environmental Culture Calligraphy and Painting Institute, Chinese Charity Artist. A famous contemporary Chinese painter, artist and master of national ceremonies. He has held numerous solo exhibitions around the world. The American "stock god" Warren Buffett collected two works by Mr. Liang, "Autumn Lotus" and "Dream of the Red Chamber Twelve Golden Nobiles", and he praised "Mr. Liang's works represent new achievements in Chinese art". This is the first time that the world's richest man has collected works by Chinese artists. Mr. Liang's works represent a new achievement in Chinese art."
In the spring of 2019, The famous Chinese master of calligraphy and painting Liang Yonghe came to Kaifeng City, and Wang Jiankun had the opportunity to meet with Mr. Liang Yonghe, the master of calligraphy and painting, and accompanied mr. Liang Yonghe, a famous master of calligraphy and painting, to the Forest of Steles in Hanyuan To watch the Forest of Steles. Mr. Liang Yonghe said to Jiankun as he walked: "Your calligraphy has a certain foundation, ancient and clumsy but not stagnant, dexterous and not demon. The structure of the work is rigorous, the pen is strong, and the back of the paper is penetrated, forming its own style. With the foundation of calligraphy, you may wish to learn painting, which will be very helpful for your personal artistic creation and growth" and give the painting to Wang Jiankun again.
Second, wash away the lead and see the gold

He was invited to participate in the 12th, 13th and 14th China Linyi Shusheng Cultural Festival, and published papers such as "On the Appreciation of Calligraphy Works" and "On the Thinking on the Problems of Contemporary Calligraphy Creation Forms".
Wang Jiankun's calligraphy works almost have a lot to do with autumn, autumn, and autumn rain. In his works, he almost has an indissoluble relationship with Qiu. He inscribed his own burrow as "Autumn Rhyme", and many calligraphy works also have the mark of autumn rain to a greater or lesser extent, and since then. No matter where you move, you call your home Autumn Rhyme. In that burrow, he lived for ten years. Ten years of calligraphy have benefited a lot. During the day he was busy with work, and at night he closed the door, except for the subtle sound of his wife and children sleeping, he no longer felt that this world existed.
His calligraphy works Tang Shi Four Screens Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter have reached the realm of transcendence and selflessness. Won the first prize of the 8th National "Xi's Cup". He immersed himself in the world of art, or sparse, or artistic cultivation, or harvested the enjoyment of beauty. This is jiankun settled in loneliness, happy to be lonely for ten years, he diligently explored, painstakingly searched, struggled in this "autumn rhyme" burrow of water and fire, ten years of grinding a sword, the sword soul in this burrow with the knowledge of will and the grind of the wind and moon, sharpened his artistic sword. From then on, this sword accompanied him on a journey full of pain and joy, suffering and success.
Jiankun's character has the simplicity of the yellow land to carry everything, and the wild and unrestrained like the rapids of the Yellow River, just like the profound and extensive historical and cultural accumulation of the ancient city of a thousand years. His experience hobbies, knowledge update is three-dimensional, multi-faceted. He was open and bold in his dealings with people. Emotionally exposed, love and hatred are clear, dare to be happy and angry, and express his inner world unreservedly and nakedly on his face. The rich and varied facial expressions of talking to him, if taken with a camera, are a photo of a comedian's demeanor. In front of unfamiliar friends, he tends to be silent, observing and thinking more than talking. However, when his comrades-in-arms gathered, he was like a river of words, and when it came to excitement, his heart was full of flowers, his face was colorful, his eyes were shining, and he wrote down the three words "drunken comrades-in-arms" with a pen, which was discovered by a winery in Shanxi and became a special customized wine for the gathering of comrades in the army. Talk about the sound and color distance, and even shoot the case. Sometimes his wife mistakenly thought that he had a quarrel with the guests and went in to pour tea, but he smiled frankly and was busy with your going, and we were chatting.
Saying that Jiankun is frank is only my personal feeling of interacting with him for many years, he has always been a frank inner world, such as a thousand miles of plains, let people see unobstructed, no cover, and the frankness of his heart is like a hundred rivers, or an empty valley, swallowing freely. It is said that he is honest and loyal to others, steady and sincere in his work, he firmly believes that being honest in everything he does is the spirit, and the faith is reachable; his middle-aged man changed the name of the calligraphy art to Shan Lin and Qiu Yu. We all hold a belief, from one end to the other. He is said to be innocent and simple in personality, and he knows the year of destiny, but sometimes the degree of innocence and elegance is no less than that of a teenager. Say that he is straight because there is no bend in the stomach, and he speaks bluntly and quickly. In front of others, it is difficult for him to say a few whispers, because he does not whisper sad words slowly, and sometimes there are some bumps and bumps between friends, if he is a little flexible, a little roundabout. It can help you to be liberated. Even a few sides fell well, but he faced the reality, directly expressed his opinion, offended the friend for many years also has no scruples, the friend defended himself, but he was generous, yes and no, no, I can not hide it. Jiankun's philosophy of life is both pure and mixed. Speaking of purity, he only believes in one true word, to be a true person, to do things sincerely, and to speak the truth. Be honest, make true friends, and pursue the truth. He believes that whether it is people or art, only art is the highest and most beautiful realm. The pursuit of artistic truth and the truth of expressing art are what the big hand writer dares to do; speaking of the mixed type, it is because he has read a lot of books, his thoughts are influenced by many ancient and modern Chinese and foreign calligraphy, and integrate with his own life experience, forming his own philosophy of life. In his outlook on life and art, dialectical materialism is from simple to complex, and then from complex to simple, from simple to simple, from simple to simple, from complex to simple, from true color to multi-color, and then from multi-color to true color, etc. At the end of his daily practice of calligraphy and painting, he must write down the cursive fonts of "Knowing the Wisdom of the Wise", probably this is the law of art, and it is also the law of life. This evolution and regression is not in the same realm, but in the same level of repetition or repetition. Rather, it is a sublimation of life perception and sentiment. In the face of a complicated life, his attitude is sometimes so simple, so simple that he believes in everything. Some people are so attached, so attached to the point that they can give up their own opinions, and some people are so vulnerable, hearing the late fortunes and inequalities of the weak or the unfortunate. It is easy to be emotional, and even shed tears for it. In addition to the persistent pursuit of the realm of life and the realm of art, he regards fame and fortune as light and light, he believes that joy and sorrow, gains and losses, everything is like a smoke cloud, but it is just a process, so that all this comes from no trace, frank and frank, listening but not hearing, turning a blind eye. Truly from the inevitability of life to artistic freedom, I dominate myself, grasp myself, and shape myself. The reporter once saw a work he wrote when he was emotional.
In the Cangjie Character Creation Cultural Park, he closely linked art with the masses of the people, and wrote down with a splash of ink that "the people are the Jiangshan, and the Jiangshan is the people." ”
Third, calligraphy and painting works lead the way
When it comes to Jiankun's calligraphy art, people know that the calligraphy he is good at is his cursive, xingcao, and xingshu. His calligraphy has attracted the attention of colleagues at home and abroad, and it is not known that in addition to calligraphy, Jiankun's poetry and painting are also unique and quite powerful. For him, poetry and painting are an organic fusion, or a derivation of nature, not a deliberate pursuit or subordination of elegant things, a person's life realm. Cultural literacy, artistic skills, and experience have reached a certain level, so what he does, even if it is a letter or a conversation, will be extraordinary, let alone perform in the form of art? Although Jiankun's calligraphy has the abyss of many inscriptions, it is more an overflow of his art and an expression of his life realm. The calligraphy he writes often carries away dragons and snakes, falling and falling, reflecting great ups and downs, big changes, and great boldness. His calligraphy is not so much a knife carved into stone as he is creating with his own distinct personality. He often grabbed a brush and brush when he was passionate, and when his mood calmed down. The passionate emotions had been left naked on the rice paper. Jiankun's poems can be said to be the brothers of painting, and the two rely on each other, echo each other, complement each other, and become one. Of course, his inscription poems are not illustrative words of painting, and his paintings are by no means the embodiment of the lines of poetry. To be precise, it is the catharsis and expression of Jiankun's people and their feelings. His calligraphy and painting works, read his poems to see his poems, read his books to see his books, read his paintings to see his paintings, and the three are integrated and integrated. It is not so much a poetry reading method to read a painting, but rather to read Jiankun, whose poetry and paintings and its calligraphy can be recognized and understood from many aspects, and the works of beginners or mediocre people are all done and thought at a glance or at a glance. Works that come from large hands are often complex in shape and meaning, so that people can see each other and get different understandings and feelings. The reporter is a layman who does not understand calligraphy and painting, but as far as the superficial feelings of a layman are concerned, Jiankun's paintings and calligraphy are very characteristic, cultural, bookish, and personified. These three are reflected in his different calligraphic works or in paintings. The bookish atmosphere in his calligraphy comes from his extensive reading and extensive knowledge. His house was full of books, books were everywhere, and books were piled up on the case. He is addicted to reading, ancient and modern Chinese and foreign famous artists and miscellaneous families he loves to read, love to let go, Jiankun painting some of the delicate and delicate, some extensive landing, but have a distinct literati temperament, beautiful and not beautiful, vulgar and elegant. In the pen and ink, the artistic beauty of the work is both distinct and ingenious, seemingly random and accidental, but in fact it is painstakingly managed and ingenious. After reading a large number of historical materials and the works of the characters, Jiankun integrates them in his mind and carefully speculates and grasps the character of the works. Day by day, month by month, or even year, he was not in a hurry to write, and finally one day he really understood and understood the content of this work, had communication, and could even talk and communicate, not so much as writing a work of art, but rather jumping on the paper. Through the calligraphy works written, you can glimpse the personality, encounters, talents and so on of the works. Therefore, to appreciate Jiankun's calligraphy paintings, some of them are simply reading poetry or reading history, any of his calligraphy paintings have a distinct personality that is difficult to simulate or replace, his works can make people read out of feelings, he never writes when he is bored, and calligraphy paintings will not go casually. Painting a few friends, really have emotions, emotions, moods, he went to create calligraphy paintings, and mixed pen and ink with feelings to write.
If there are poems and books hidden in the heart, the years will never defeat the beauty. If there are jewels hidden in the body, the temperament is never defeated. The calligraphy works won the gold medal for calligraphy works in the 2022 "Asian Games Cup" National Calligraphy Photography Competition; the grape wine luminous cup, and the pipa immediately urged. Drunkenly lying on the battlefield Jun Mo smiled, how many people did Gu Lai fight back? His works participated in the "Winter Olympics, Exhibition Style 2022 Calligraphy and Painting Exhibition" and were published in the "Calligraphy and Painting Newspaper" Calligraphy and painting works were also made into a desk calendar by the "Calligraphy and Painting Newspaper".
How to survive in the predicament, how to deal with calligraphy and painting works, the distinct theme and artificialization are powerful answers. Jiankun is an artistic success, but he is also a diligent and insatiable exploration. He is not a lucky person, he has endured many hardships and difficulties, but he is willing to bear suffering, and even challenge suffering when he meets suffering, he is sublimating in nirvana in suffering, and then creating great success in great suffering, which is the pursuit of Wang Jiankun as an ordinary artist.
In the calligraphy and painting photography exhibition of "Shuxiang Biliang", hundreds of calligraphers and calligraphy enthusiasts such as Han Weiye and Dong Yonggang, famous calligraphers in Kaifeng City, visited. Leaders such as Ji Bingwei, Hou Hong, Qin Baoqiang, Li Bingji, Xue Wenfa and other leaders of Kaifeng City visited more than 130 works on display. All are the fruitful results and concentrated display of Mr. Wang Jiankun's dedicated creation. Infected by the cultural atmosphere, he entered the calligraphy in a year of confusion, and studied calligraphy under Mr. Niu Guangfu, a giant in the book world and a famous calligrapher in the country.
Wang Jiankun has a bold personality, pursues high antiquity, and is free from nature. In his works, he inherits the Jin Dynasty and tang dynasty, next to the Qin and Han dynasties, and Wen Chai Wang Xizhi, Huai Su, and Huang Tingjian, and is a powerful calligrapher who is active in today's book world. Admiring Wang Jiankun's works, I feel that his path of studying calligraphy is getting wider and wider, and his calligraphy is becoming more and more exquisite, especially the artistic style of Wang Xizhi, who he loves, with more textured lines and richer pen and ink language. He gives the pen and ink a strong atmosphere of the times and a rich personality language, his pen and ink are vigorous, the rhythm is active, the cloth is continuous, the changes are popped up, the bone strength is smooth, especially the pen, the ink color is thick and light, the virtual reality is changeable, and there is no end. Wang Jiankun experienced the wind and bone, charm, adversity, and constantly improved his self-cultivation, endure loneliness, perseverance, perseverance in copying learning, innovation in learning, his writing has a personality, he has long traveled in the "Wang Xizhi Seventeen Posts, Sun Guoting Book, Huai Su's Self-Narration Post", heart to hand chase, from birth to maturity, in the ripe, the pursuit of cursive atmosphere and simple weather, his understanding of cursive acceptance and perception, but also in his works in recent years has been well expressed and interpreted.
He did gain something from learning calligraphy, a 26-meter cursive "Thousand Character Text" banner actually "escaped" the judges' pickiness and was selected for the National Calligraphy and Painting Competition "Voice of Spring" calligraphy and painting exhibition. In many works, there is a great momentum of "stupid, jumping like also"! He won the gold medal and his works were collected by the Lanting Calligraphy and Painting Institute. In the years of calligraphy creation, he gradually formed his own unique calligraphy art language. He devoted himself to the study of calligraphy art theory and ancient and modern famous posters, and pursued innovation on the basis of ensuring that his calligraphy style was flowing, free, handsome and Mu Jing. At the same time, he is also pursuing the perfect combination of calligraphy and personal cultivation, and constantly pursuing and exploring art.
It can be seen from his works that his writing and cursive writing are mostly taken from the Fa Wang Xizhi and Sun Guoting and Huai Su. Xingshu is to learn Mi Fu, Su Shi, and Zhao Yuting. There are works that readers will taste and evaluate, and do not intend to comment on them. Just to say that Wang Jiankun's celebrity life is different from others, in that he uses a pen to be calm, not gorgeous, and reduces the leaning and swinging in the knot and the rules, so that there is more dignity and grandeur, appearing dignified, generous, simple and implicit, without pretense and embellishment. This is consistent with his character. "Books are like their people", probably because he grasps the national cultural connotation of Chinese calligraphy in his calligraphy and painting works.
Wang Jiankun has not yet defined his personal style. He knows that the personal style that has stood up in history is nothing more than "original" and "side by side" in the big genre. With his qualifications, "original" is absolutely impossible, and "one branch out" is also afraid of insufficient strength, but he can only choose the latter. He also understood that the level of calligraphy in an era depended in no way on the size of the "calligrapher" team, but on the most outstanding works that emerged in this era. No matter how many people there are, and the works are hard, they can only pave the way for the art pyramid. There is nothing comparable to the classic works of history, and the pyramid can only be a half-cut of the top without glory! Therefore, Wang Jiankun knows very well that the so-called personal style is not easy to match with others, and it is difficult to excel. For history only recognizes the latter. He just laid the foundation steadily, worked hard step by step, and tried to become a real calligraphy creator. To be sure, he will not become a speculator who seeks profits from the situation and a so-called calligrapher and painter whose reputation has been raised by "good winds". He can only be a very ordinary person and write very ordinary words, but this ordinary word is indeed a real thing cultivated by traditional Chinese culture. As for whether he can "embrace hundreds of rivers" in the future, integrate the elite of Chinese and Western cultures, and create the treasures of "unique style", it is another matter, after all, he is an ordinary person.
