Words, everyone writes, everyone can not do without words in their lives, but not necessarily can write the words correctly, clearly, neatly, beautifully, so that people feel comfortable, not dazzling, looking disgusted. What I want to say to you today is: don't be impatient, write in a down-to-earth manner, write well with your heart, and cultivate naturally.
How well the characters are written is an external expression of people's inner cultivation. In the traditional theory of calligraphy on the mainland, it is customary to perfectly combine writing with being a person. Yang Xiong of the late Western Han Dynasty said in the "Yangzi Fa Yan": "Books, heart paintings also." By the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhao Yi said in the "Non-Cursive Writing": "Mortals have their own special qi and blood, and their bones and bones are different. The heart is dense, and the hand is skillful. The ugliness of books is in the heart and hands. ”
Therefore, slowly, write the words well, and cultivate naturally.
Fu Shan of the Ming Dynasty said: "Writing is the first to be a person, and the strange characters of people have been since ancient times." Gang often rebelled against Zhou Kong, and the pen and ink could not be repaired. Before learning the Lu Gongshu, first look at the Lu Gong, the plain qi is in the middle, and Mao Ying's foot swallows. Liu Xizai of the Qing Dynasty wrote in The Outline of Art. The Book Outline reads: "The nature of the pen and ink is based on the temperament of its people. He also said, "Books, such as also, such as their learning, such as their talents, such as their aspirations, in short, like their people." People often say, "Words are the crown of man," "Moral character is not high, and ink cannot fall." ”
In the feudal era, all generations regarded books as an important condition for assessing character. If you want to be an official, you must write a good hand. It is difficult to write well, let alone be an official, or even find a poor writer.
After Qin Shi Huang unified China, he was full of ambition to patrol everywhere, and wherever he went, he would set up a stone to record his merits there. The words on these stele were mostly written by his chancellor Li Si, which also shows that the art of law was clearly valued in the Qin Dynasty.
We know that the Wei and Jin dynasties, especially the Jin Dynasty, were the era with the highest calligraphy attainments in history, and set up a doctorate in calligraphy.
Emperor Cao Cao of Weiwu had a high level of calligraphy, and he was particularly attached to those who were good at calligraphy. According to records, Cao Cao sent someone to visit Liang Hu, who had offended him, because his writing was very good, and he reused it regardless of previous suspicions.
During the Tang Dynasty, the official adopted comprehensive measures to take people by books, and set up a "calligraphy" special training of calligraphy talents. The four aspects of selecting talents (one is "body", the second is "speech", the third is "book", and the fourth is "judgment"), and the third is the book.
After that, in the examinations of the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, the merits of calligraphy were placed in a decisive position, from xiucai to people, and then to become a jinshi at a higher level, they all had to take the exam. After the Zhongjin soldiers: one category is Hanlin, and the other type is divided into various ministries and counties to become officials. In this kind of examination system, in addition to looking at the political views of the candidate, it also depends on whether his writing is neat and tidy. Therefore, the scroll of the imperial examination requires four words: "black, large, light, round." The ink color should be black; the words should be full and full; the strokes should be smooth and perfect, and this circle should talk about the effect of the strokes. In this way, in terms of the selection criteria, the calligraphy conditions have been further improved.
The relationship between the good and bad words we write today is not so close to further education, employment, appraisal titles, and officialdom, but the words written by each person can indeed reflect the inner quality of this person.
There is a discipline called handwriting in modern times, which is an interdisciplinary discipline that reflects the personality, psychology and behavioral characteristics of writers through the study of different writing rules of individual handwriting. It is a science that studies the connection and objective laws between the characteristics of human handwriting and the intrinsic qualities of human beings, and has close ties with psychology, behavior, talent and other disciplines. The famous French writer Dumas Jr. also said: "Handwriting is a highly used science, because it does not have to meet to understand a person" It seems that there is still a certain scientific basis for what the ancients on the mainland said about "books like people".
In order to write well and reach the height of calligraphy, we must honestly learn from the valuable experience of our predecessors, conscientiously copy the inscriptions of our predecessors, and meticulously revise our own random writing habits according to the brushwork, dot painting, ink rhyme, knot body, chapter method, and qi rhyme of the predecessors. On the basis of continuously improving cultural literacy, we can make the words we write reach a higher realm of calligraphy.
When we look after the calligrapher's inscription, we are often impressed by the character and works of the ancient calligrapher, and the impetuousness, vanity, and pride also stop.
Calligraphy is written with words, words and words are concatenated into texts, regardless of the meaning of the words only consider the words, which means that a person has no soul. When reading and writing calligraphy works, we must learn ancient texts, poems, famous sayings, aphorisms, and expositions, understand history, and understand the historical background, experience, and character of calligraphers. At the same time, not only broaden their knowledge, but also be influenced by traditional culture and calligraphy family character, and have a deeper and more specific understanding of the broad and profound connotation of traditional culture.
Therefore, the process of learning, copying, and creating calligraphy is also a process of cultivating the mind, tempering the will, and improving one's self-cultivation.
