Calligraphy and Painting 丨Zhao Tao: The "Ming" of Ximing

Xi Ming's "Ming"

Text/Zhao Tao

March. Spring Warmth Sanyuan Hall.

Sanyuantang is located in Taiping Old Street, Changsha. Close to the sound of the Xiangjiang River, overlooking the clouds of Yuelu in the distance, Qu Jia Zhengrong, the source of the Xiangwen vein of the three-thousand-year-old lake.

Chen Ximing, the master of the Sanyuan Hall, waved it away, and wrote the book "Spring Light Nourishes Me" and wrote: "Spring Light Nourishes Me, Stops at All Things." Spring wind, spring rain, spring thunder, is also the messenger of spring. Yu sighed and said that he had written this with the inscription of the good king, and nourished my virtue with the spring light. ”

The sun and the moon push each other, and the ming is born.

How bright it is that the spring light raises me.

Mingde, Mingdao, Mingxin, and the "Ming" of Ximing should be like this.

Clear and virtuous, then correct.

Chen Ximing was born in Youxi County, Fujian Province in June 1955 and began to study at the age of 5.

Youxi, a thousand-year-old county, Zhu Xi's hometown, a thick accumulation of culture. Zhu Xi, a famous thinker and educator of the Southern Song Dynasty, his magnum opus "Four Books, Chapters and Sentences Collection" is a collection of Confucian masterpieces, teaching the profundity of hundreds of generations, inheriting the study of the saints and opening up the world, and having a profound influence.

Zhu Xihong popularized the Confucian "Qi Family" thought, and put forward the "Four Books of Home" of "the basis of the family of rational protection, the basis of the Shunqi family, the basis of reading the family, and the basis of the family of diligence and thrift", and constructed a systematic and meticulous family culture and philosophical ideological system.

Zhu Xi entered Xiang twice. In 1167, he and Zhang Yu held a seminar at Yuelu Academy to teach the system. In 1194, he served as the pacifying envoy of Jinghu South Road and Zhitan Prefecture, revitalized Yuelu Academy, and promulgated the "Dogma of Zhuzi Academy", requiring students to "explain the principles of righteousness" and emphasize Zhengde self-denial. The four characters of "loyalty, filial piety, honesty, and festival" erected in the lecture hall of Yuelu Academy are calm and elegant, and they are zhengda and high-

Zhu Zhang will say that the sages have passed. Every day, the new virtue is spread.

In 1974, Chen Ximing joined the army from Fujian to come to Hunan, and in 1993, he transferred to the Hunan Calligraphers Association, where he has lived in Hunan for 48 years. Shiren praised: "Pi Min material is also used for Wu Xiang." I look at his deeds, if he traces Zhuzi. ”

Therefore, Chen Ximing was taught by Mr. Wang Lin, a "true Confucian", and founded the first Guoxue Academy in Hunan since the founding of New China, the Liuhe Guoxue Academy in Hunan Province.

Guoxue force is to learn with problems for the purpose of use. Emphasize facing the reality of the present, targeted learning, and find the power to solve problems - Chen Ximing's purpose is to "use the past for the present" and "apply what has been learned".

Yin Jianhua, the initiator of the "Four-Dimensional Lecture on Sinology" and a lecturer at the Liuhe Guoxue Academy in Hunan Province, once conducted a series of interviews with Chen Ximing in depth and pondered the "strength of traditional Chinese studies" with such a series of interviews as "Culture" is more progressive than "Wuhua", "Spirit is longer than material", "Where is the source of traditional culture", "Traditional Culture Should Be Included in the Government Budget", "Sinology is Not Something Everyone Must Learn", "How to Make Sinology Produce Strength", "Family Culture" is the "Strength of Chinese Studies", "The Way of the Middle Way Needs to Be "Divided into Three"" and other series of interviews.

Mr. Fei Xiaotong compared the structure of Chinese society to "like the 'differential order pattern' of the ripples that occur when a stone is thrown on the surface of the water." In the "differential order pattern", society is composed of different individuals forming a network of relationships according to kinship and alienation, which is an enlarged "home".

The study and construction of "family culture" is an important topic for promoting traditional Chinese culture, whether it is of great significance to today's Chinese social governance or the sustainable development of the Chinese nation, artists should take responsibility and make a difference - this is the starting point and foothold of Chen Ximing's inheritance of sinology.

Huang Shouyu, editor-in-chief of the New Edition of Confucianism, was invited by Chen Ximing to give a lecture on how Neo-Confucianism solves the problems of upbringing, correct education of children, the transmission of wealth from generation to generation, and faith, and wrote a "Record of the Three Edges of the Church", "Zi Yue: 'Virtue is not cultivated, learning is not taught, hearing righteousness cannot be migrated, and if it is not good, it cannot be changed. 'The foundation of the book is in the study of Chinese culture, and if the study of Chinese culture is not cultivated, then it is not solid and does not cultivate. This is also a clear worry. ”

As the tutor of the National Art Theory Research and Calligraphy and Painting Creation Advanced Seminar of Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts, Chen Ximing's Calligraphy And Creation Special Seminar, Chen Ximing has been committed to highlighting the teaching characteristics of "introducing classical and modern aesthetic concepts, and interpreting the connotation of calligraphy art with the help of the essence of Traditional Chinese Studies".

On May 30, 2013, all the students of Chen Ximing's Calligraphy Practice and Creation Special Seminar gathered in Changsha Sanyuan Hall to hold a grand ceremony for the ancient worship master. Chen Ximing frankly said that adhering to the worship of the teacher aims to emphasize the connotation of "worship" and call for inheritance. Inheritance is not only a requirement for disciples, but also a requirement for teachers. Through such a solemn ceremony as the worship of the teacher, the disciples are not only admonished to uphold the tradition of respecting the teacher and being diligent and diligent, but also alert the teacher to adhere to the teacher's morality and responsibility of "preaching and teaching karma to solve puzzles".

Chen Ximing also served as the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh directors of the China Book Association, the tutor of the Training Center of the China Book Association, the calligraphy tutor of Xu Beihong Art College of Chinese Min University, and was accepted by the China Book Association as a judge of the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh national exhibitions, achieving a breakthrough in the hunan calligraphy circle in the national exhibition jury seat zero. Over the years, he has served as a judge for national, provincial and ministerial calligraphy exhibitions more than 100 times. Calligraphy enthusiasts at home and abroad are thousands of miles away, worshiping under Chen Ximing.com. A large number of calligraphy talents from inside and outside the province have stood out under the careful guidance of Chen Ximing, and more than 300 people have joined the Chinese Calligraphers Association.

Han Yue said: "The ancient scholars must have teachers, so they will understand their karma and achieve their virtue." To achieve his virtue, that is, Mingde, Mingmingde, inherit the Confucian "Taoist system".

Gentleman Bede Yu Yu.

Confucius, in response to Zigong's question on "gentlemen are precious jade and lowly min", said that the reason why a gentleman is "precious jade" is because jade has eleven virtues of "benevolence", "knowledge", "righteousness", "etiquette", "music", "loyalty", "faith", "heaven", "earth", "virtue", and "Tao".

Jade has become a cultural carrier that highlights the virtues and spirit of the Chinese nation.

Chen Ximing especially loves ancient jade, with cultural people, with books, with jade Mingde.

In 2016, at the invitation of the Organizing Committee of the United Nations Chinese Day, Chen Ximing, as a core member of the delegation of famous Chinese calligraphers and painters to the United States in Beilanting, disseminated calligraphy and sinology at the United Nations Building, the University of California, the University of Washington and the Confucius Institute. He also served as the only calligraphy envoy for the "Perception of China, Hunan Culture into France" event, demonstrating calligraphy for representatives of the two countries on the spot. In recent years, he has been invited to japan, South Korea, Singapore and other more than 30 countries and regions to carry out exchange lectures, exhibition creation.

JCDecaux is the teacher, and the literature is to transform people.

Books are expensive, books are like people.

Be a man of the same path, be upright. Chen Ximing said so, so do.

If you know the way, you will change.

Chen Ximing said to himself: Reading "Yi", I think that the principle of the Tao is not easy; the journey of the Tao is also not delayed. Therefore, the small seal of the rule of the plutonium "every second is changed" is placed as a motto, with which to rule the book, with the rule of learning, with the rule of the world, there is no confusion.

Chen Ximing took "every second change" as the Tao, and put forward the theory of "non-patterned calligraphy style". He said, why I am always changing, I don't want to be stereotyped. The stereotyping of artistic style is not only a thousand people,000 people, but also should be vigilant about the exclusivity of stereotyping. But exclusivity can not be too early, too early will be because of "partial food" and "malnutrition", and eventually it is difficult to become a big tool. Artists, gifted artists can form their own artistic style in the exploration, and art should have a style, not a pattern. Gifted artists do not deliberately pursue style, but pay great attention to the study of tradition. Only when there is no ancient or new can innovation have a solid cultural foundation.

Chapter law, ink method, the size of the scale of the work, the details of the whole and the part, the treatment of the all-round visual image, the same word, the side, the head, all have to change. The superposition of time and space produces ever-changing changes, gives birth to infinite vitality, and shows a variety of objects, the key is to make me realize the natural common way of change - taking books as the way, understanding the way with books, and understanding the laws of change in the world for a long time has become the theme of Chen Ximing's thinking.

The Song Dynasty Zhu Changwen's "Continuation of the Book" said: "Cover the accumulation of thoughts in the middle, touch the object to feel it, then there is no way to reach it." Just as Zhang Xu saw the princess Danfu fighting for the road, and got the meaning of the penmanship; later saw the Gongsun clan dance "Sword Weapon", and won its god. Huai Suguan Xia Yun Duoqi Peak, the common effect, its pain and pleasure, such as birds out of the forest, snakes into the grass, and like the wall road, one by one nature. Huang Tingjian saw "long years of paddles, groups of Ding pulling out", and realized the magic of using the pen in cursive calligraphy with large characters... Chen Ximing worked in the same way, and was empowered by preaching to an old man with a white eyebrow in his dream, and he obtained the method of "changing every second time".

"Every second change" is exactly the longitude and latitude of Chen Ximing's calligraphic thought. In an interview with the "Artistic Masters" column of "Creation and Criticism" magazine, he said eloquently: Over the years, I have repeatedly pondered the meaning of the four words "every two changes", I understand that this is the same understanding of "one yin and one yang is the way", with one yin and one yang composed of two, the party to give birth to three births of all things, from the perspective of time and space, change is the eternity of the world. As a person in time and space, adapt to change, conform to objective reality, and grasp the laws of things to decipher the code of life. The overall relationship in calligraphy is formed into a coherent whole, just as the opening and falling of leaves is a performance, the development of things does not end with this, nourishing new life, life is endless in the cycle of yin and yang, and the overall rhyme of yin and yang transformation can create a philosophical taste with a life observation attitude in calligraphy works.

In addition, Chen Ximing creatively proposed the "six gu" view of calligraphy creation. Gu Qian, Gu Hou, Gu Zuo, Gu Right, Gu Nei, Gu Wai, from the brushwork, dot painting, knot, chapter, situation, qi rhyme, one by one, harmonious, as Zhuangzi said "Liuhe".

Jin Yun Tang Fa, Song Yi Ming State. Every era has the style of writing in every era.

"The book is as time" is to use "time" to define and measure the state and level of the writer, according to the degree of professional effort of the writer, the immediate age, and the time period of professional development. Time changes, and the relevant elements accumulated by all writers in time and space also change, and the evaluation changes with it. Calligraphy requires the technical kung fu within the writing, but also needs the cultivation kung fu outside the writing to grow synchronously, otherwise the time changes, the professional level will not improve - from "every second change" to "the book is as timely", Chen Ximing put forward another aesthetic yardstick for identifying calligraphy works.

In 2007, Chen Ximing entered the first Shen Peng Calligraphy Elite Class of the National Academy of Painting of China, where he studied under Mr. Shen Peng.

On June 12, 2008, the "Calligraphy and Painting" column of China Painting and Calligraphy Magazine cooperated with the Shen Peng Calligraphy Elite Class of the National Academy of Painting of China to conduct in-depth discussions on the "Contemporaryness of Calligraphy". Chen Ximing said in his speech that after the book style is complete, only the interpretation of the style changes, forming a calligraphy style that can influence future generations, which is enough for a generation.

In 2009, Chen Ximing became the only calligrapher in Hunan to be selected for the "Lanting Zhuzi Award" activity of the calligraphy audition of the "Calligraphy Newspaper", and won the first place in the national (including overseas distribution areas) audition, and finally won the final prize by the national expert jury. His representative work "Cursive Doufang" has been praised by readers and experts as "a rare cursive masterpiece with Wei and Jin charm" by the majority of readers and experts.

Many calligraphers, one by one, hold on to them for life. Chen Ximing flooded hundreds of homes, absorbed the strengths of all, and came out of the machine. Jiang Liyu, a professor at the School of Arts of Xiangtan University, praised Chen Ximing for "being able to do all things, but with the true kai and the grass as the most important", and praised his book as "humble and heroic, Xiao Scattered And Illusory".

Chen Ximing, together with Mr. Starter and Mr. Shen Peng, was selected for the "Range Rover calligraphy" famous calligraphers and 50 famous calligraphers launched by CCTV and the China Book Association; together with Mr. Jin Yong, Mr. Huang Yongyu and others, they were successively reported by Hunan Satellite TV on "The Story Behind the Scenes". He has successively won the title of "Virtue and Art Shuangxin" calligrapher of the China Book Association, the title of "Five Batches" talent of Hunan Province, one of the 50 most representative young and middle-aged calligraphers in the country of the China Book Association, the first artist in contemporary China to enter the National Archives, enjoying the special allowance of the State Council, Rong Baozhai published the "Contemporary Young and Middle-Aged Calligraphers Creation Archives , Chen Ximing Volume", participated in the sixth and seventh national calligraphy seal engraving exhibitions held by the China Book Association, and the eighth national exhibition of young and middle-aged calligraphy and seal engravers. The 8th International Calligraphy Exhibition and the high-standard calligraphy exhibition sponsored by the China Book Association have been held more than 100 times, and his works have been widely collected by authoritative institutions at home and abroad, and hundreds of media such as People's Daily, Phoenix Satellite TV, China Art News, China Calligraphy and Painting Art Channel, and Chinese Calligraphy have reported his artistic achievements.

Mr. Zhang Hai wrote in the article "Impressions of Ximing" - he said: "The study of calligraphy, knowledge and action; the law of calligraphy, the interaction of yin and yang; the way of calligraphy, the unity of heaven and man." This, in a sense, is his exquisite summary of the art of calligraphy. Therefore, his calligraphy can achieve the realm of superiority that highlights the spirit of the spirit.

"The wonderful way of the book is the first, the form and quality are secondary, and the one who is also the same can be less than the ancients." The aesthetic category of calligraphy constructed by Wang Shengqian has established the yardstick for appreciation and criticism of calligraphy art for more than a thousand years, and its influence has been so far.

Chen Ximing's calligraphy and the "realm of the highest good" come from his insight into the way of books, the nature of the Tao, and the changes of things, and also from the insistence on "advancing both techniques and paths".

The way of skill goes hand in hand, and the way of calligraphy is humanity.

On October 31, 2002, a men's clothing conference called "Zhi Dao" was held on the stage of China International Fashion Week. The organizer, Sundawe Apparel Company, takes it as its mission to create China's "national costume", decomposing the strokes of Chinese characters into modern Chinese clothing structures, shapes and patterns, and promoting the 5,000 years of Chinese culture. In 2003, Sundaway Apparel Company subverted the "rule" of using performing arts stars as image ambassadors in the clothing industry, and invited Chen Ximing to serve as a "brand culture ambassador" as a contemporary Chinese calligrapher, which was praised by the media as "breaking through the Saint David model of celebrity endorsement".

If you know your heart, you are idle.

The old man Qi Baishi has a famous saying: I am only willing to be an idle person in my life.

Chen Ximing was taught by Master Zanghui, the first person in Australia to propagate the Dharma, and signed himself as a nine idle Daoist people - looking at idle clouds, listening to idle water, making idle friends, tasting idle tea, smelling idle books, making idle ink, pacing leisurely, raising idle hearts, being idle people, and composing a poem of "Shangxian": A white cloud is idle on top, and two mountains are sitting opposite each other like Zen. The three hearts wash away the suffering, and the spring breeze on all sides I forget.

Busy and lost, idle and clear- Only when you see the nature clearly can you be quiet. Not for material service, not to be transferred. It does not discuss the length and length of the people of the times, but it is higher and lower than that of the ancient sages. Chen Ximing, with the decisive spirit of mastering the ancient and not muddying the ancient, does not forget the original heart, immerses in the classics, and stays away from the tacky times of the era of quick success and quick profit. He has been studying the "Cuan Bao Zi Stele" for more than forty years, chasing its charm and integrating its simple and childish meaning into the pen.

In the month of Prophecy, Chen Ximing smoked incense in the "Hometown of Kai Sheng" - the "Shutang Mountain House" of the Ouyang Inquiry Cultural Park in Wangcheng District, Changsha City, and wrote a huge scroll of the "Heart Sutra" with The Treasure Pen, hanging on the wall and illuminating it in the heart.

Ouyang Inquiry, "Crown of the Four Houses of the Early Tang Dynasty", Exposition of Ancient and Modern, Especially Good Calligraphy, "See ancient steles, Suo Jing's books, Stay in Ma Guanzhi, and go away for a long time." Hundreds of steps back, dismounted and stood, tired blankets to sit and watch, because of the accommodation next to it, three days and then go. Tang Zhang Huaihuan's "Book Break" said that his book "eight bodies are full of energy, the pen is powerful and dangerous, the seal body is particularly fine, the flying white crown is absolute, and it is stronger than the ancients." According to History, Ouyang Inquiry also set up a "bookstore" in his own courtyard, recruiting protégés and teaching calligraphy theories and techniques, and his reputation spread far and wide for a while. The "Teaching Tips", "Theory of Using the Pen", "Eight Tips", and "Thirty-Six Methods" comprehensively summarize the calligraphy formal techniques and aesthetic requirements such as calligraphy pens, knots, and chapters, and become classics of Chinese calligraphy theory.

Chen Ximing learned books since childhood, that is, from the Ouyang Inquiry "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming" enlightenment, Er shun set up the "Shutang Mountain House" calligraphy studio in the Wangcheng District Ouyang Inquiry Cultural Park, the house is named after the mountain, the book is passed on by people, paying tribute to the sages, with a clear heart.

The Jiucheng Gong Liquan Ming was erected in the sixth year (632) of Emperor Taizong of Tang and was hailed as "the first of the main books", "the crown of Tang Kai" and "the extreme rules of the book". The original stele exists in Linyou County, Shaanxi Province, because of its long age, weathering and long-winding, coupled with the successive generations of pounding and excavation, it has been repeatedly polished and treated, and its authenticity has been lost. At the invitation of the Wangcheng District Party Committee and the Wangcheng District Government, Chen Ximing, after three years of cold and summer, extracted the essence closest to the original calligraphy style from the "JiuchengGong Liquan Inscription" that was handed down, other inscriptions of Ouyang Inquiry and the European inscriptions that remained unspecified, and successfully restored the "JiuchengGong Liquan Ming" unscathed, which can be called the model closest to the original work in 1300 years. Chen Ximing will also imitate Li Beihai and personally engrave the restored version of the "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming" on Shutang Mountain. Continuing the context, dialogue Kai sheng, Datang meteorology, the heavy light of the millennium, will be brilliant in the annals of history.

Chen Ximing paid close attention to calligraphy and collected them into a volume of "Yanbian Caprice", recorded his feelings, and remembered his experience: calligraphy is not a painting, but has the soul of painting; calligraphy is not dance, but has the fluttering of dance; calligraphy is not music, but overflows with the melody of music; calligraphy is not architecture, but conforms to the structure of architecture; calligraphy is not qigong, but hides the mysteries of qigong; calligraphy is not a fighting sport, but it is equipped with flashing and moving skills; calligraphy is not Confucianism, but it has the middle way of Confucianism; calligraphy is not Buddhism, but it needs zen mentality; calligraphy is not Taoism, but it is prepared for The Taoist nature as the ultimate state Calligraphy is not the Creator, but abstractly contains the thousands of weather of the Eight Wastes of Heaven and Earth.

Make the pen like the heart, read the ancient and modern, simplify the vientiane, temper the will, remove habits, express emotions, and correct his life - Chen Ximing uniquely put forward three qualities of calligraphy creation and appreciation: cultural character, creative character, and natural character, especially emphasizing that the "person" of calligraphy creation should take cultural character as an important foundation.

Lu Yongjian, a member of the Chinese Writers Association and the China Literary and Art Critics Association, executive director of the Fujian Calligraphers Association and director of the Artists Association, marked Chen Ximing's creative method as the dialectical unity of "searching" and "creation" - this creative method stems from Ximing's cognition and understanding of calligraphy, and is actually his attitude to life and life concept. In Xi Ming's view, Chinese calligraphy is the art form that best reflects the thought of Lao Zhuang Daoists, and its ideal state is to get rid of the purposefulness of "usefulness" and achieve the aesthetic effect of "uselessness", and the acquisition of this spiritual freedom is achieved through the form of independent and free "travel" of the subject's mental state. Through the collision of personal subjective feelings and objective lines in time and space consciousness, the "spark" produced is the natural character, which is the artistic way of thinking that deeply fits foreign objects and integrates all things with spiritual life, which is a poetic cultural experience of pitching oneself and creating nature, and it is the concern and respect for the ontology of life.

Thousands of weather, all out of the heart. Chen Ximing's poem "Viewing Objects" breaks through in one sentence: Heaven and earth are originally nothing, and all things are born. Feel at ease, there is a big thousand comforts.

Fan Kuan Yiyun, a painter of the Northern Song Dynasty: The method of the predecessors did not try to get close to all things, and I and those who taught people were not like teachers of all things; I and those who taught things were not like teachers of hearts.

Calligraphy and painting have the same origin, and the source of the heart is obtained.

Hearts and hands are free, and great beauty is achieved.

There is great beauty in heaven and earth without words.

More than 2,000 years ago, Jia Yi was named the Prince of Changsha taifu and wrote the famous "Bird Endowment" - "And the heavens and the earth are furnaces, and the creation is work; yin and yang are charcoal, and all things are copper." Looking out of the window of Sanyuantang, the sun is polishing the lintel of Jia Yi's former residence, time is like a stream, the years are quiet, the journey of the avenue, everything is clear to me.

Chen Ximing, Zi Shengxian, Master of Sanyuantang, nicknamed Amano, Woyun Jushi, Jiuxian Daoist, is a famous Chinese calligrapher, calligraphy educator, cultural scholar, national first-class artist, expert enjoying special allowances of the State Council, and the first batch of five talents in Hunan Province. The calligrapher was shen peng, the former chairman of the China Book Association, the Confucian teacher was wang lin, and the Buddhist teacher was the senior monk Huizang. He has successively served as the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh directors of the China Book Association, a member of the Fourth Calligraphy Creation Review Committee of the China Book Association, a member of the Fifth Book Committee of the China Book Association, and a member of the Sixth and Seventh Cursive Writing Committees of the China Book Association. He was the vice chairman and secretary general of the Hunan Provincial Book Association. He is currently the vice chairman of the Hunan Provincial Book Association, the director of the Cursive Writing Committee, the calligraphy tutor of the Calligraphy Training Center of the China Book Association, the Academy of Fine Arts of Tsinghua University, the Xu Beihong Art College of Chinese Min University, the expert of the National Art Fund, the tutor of the Hunan Provincial Book Court, the visiting professor of the School of Art and the First Normal College of Central South University, the dean of the Liuhe Guoxue College of Hunan Province, and the vice chairman of the Hunan Art Collectors Association.

Chen Ximing's calligraphy works have been included in the sixth and seventh national calligraphy and seal engraving works exhibition sponsored by the China Book Association, the eighth national exhibition of young and middle-aged calligraphy seal engravers, the eighth international calligraphy exhibition and other major exhibitions, until 2001 by the China Book Association as a judge and re-elected so far. Subsequently, his works (specially invited) have been exhibited in the 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th National Exhibitions of Calligraphy and Seal Engraving, as well as other calligraphy exhibitions sponsored by the China Book Association nearly 100 times. Over the years, he has served as a national, provincial and ministerial calligraphy judge in many places across the country more than 100 times, and has visited the world as a cultural messenger many times. Chen Ximing's calligraphy is both cultivated and outstanding, and his works are widely distributed in dozens of countries, and are cherished by collectors and art museums at home and abroad; his art theory "every two changes" tells the only way to create art, and "books are as timely" is an objective yardstick for appreciating the art of calligraphy. Based on this theory and combined with rich creative experience, many national and provincial calligraphy talents have been cultivated for the Chinese book world over the years. As early as the year of confusion, Chen Ximing was immersed in the ancient Fa Ti and Han Wei tablets, and benefited a lot, and he came up with the idea of "burning two pillars of high incense" for the calligraphy sage. I have been thinking about this matter for many years, but I have not been able to focus on it. Later, due to the simultaneous cultivation of various bodies and the involvement of hundreds of schools, from the broad to the deep, the thinking gradually became clear. Because of the feelings of wishes and feelings, Chen Ximing found a way of expression - to write a "Record of Famous Artists of Past Dynasties" for famous calligraphers of past generations, and to write a "List of Unknown Good Hands" for the anonymous bookkeepers who left classic inscriptions. On the banner, the white characters are supported on a black background, and the inscription on the top is imitated by the stele. In terms of writing, they simulate their respective style of writing to express, but the exquisite portrait, the wind god into the bone, can be described: borrow a wisp of book soul, write a name; across the two schools, erect two monuments.
