At every stage in the history of Chinese calligraphy, there are figures who have influenced the entire era, just as Wang Xianzhi's calligraphy influenced the calligraphy style from Wei Jin to Liang Dynasty, Zhong Xuan and Wang Xizhi's calligraphy influenced Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the calligraphy of the "Three Great Masters of the Early Tang Dynasty" was passed down by later generations.
The calligraphy of the Northern Song Dynasty has always been shrouded under the banner of Zhou Yue and Su Dongpo, and by the Southern Song Dynasty, Mi Fu and Emperor Gaozong have become the objects of imitation by many calligraphers, and in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, it was the stage of Zhao Ziang, Wen Zhengming, Dong Qichang and others... In modern and contemporary China, in the field of "theology", when it comes to influence, in terms of calligraphy, I am afraid that no one can compare with Mr. Shen Yinmo!
Shen Yin's Book of The Stone Pillar of Langguan in Linshang Shu Province
Mr. Shen Yinmo can be described as the first book giant of the 20th century, and his words have influenced several generations, and there is no one in the contemporary era!
Contemporary book and painting masters did not hesitate to praise Mr. Shen Yinmo, and the great painter Xie Zhiliu commented on Shen Yinmo and said:
"For hundreds of years, there have been many scholars, and no one has come out of the right."
It is said that since the Ming and Qing dynasties, there have been many masters in the book world, and no one can surpass Shen Yinmo. Mr. Lu Weizhao, a great calligrapher at the Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts, commented on him:
"The realm, taste, and brushwork of Shen Shu were written in the Song Dynasty, and ordinary people could only go up to the Qing Dynasty, and there were very few people who wrote about the Ming Dynasty."
It means that Shen Yinmo's calligraphy is one step closer than that of ordinary masters, and both the technique and the artistic conception have reached the same level as the Song people, and they are chasing the height of the Tang people!
Shen Yinmo was born in Huzhou, Zhejiang, he had a good preschool education, was the most learned calligrapher of that era, in the Republic of China book circle, there is a "South Shen Bei Yu" saying, so it refers to Mr. Yu Youren. Mr. Shen's life experience is relatively bumpy, he has witnessed many twists and turns in modern China, and finally in a humiliating era, he was tortured to death!
Mr. Shen's contribution lies not only in the realm of his calligraphy, but also in the spread of his calligraphy, he was the first person to establish a calligraphy research association, which is also the prototype of the calligraphy association, and he also freed calligraphy from the shackles of the literati 'pavilion body' since the Ming and Qing dynasties, and contributed to the largest mass study paradigm in history!
Calligraphy has been compiled from the unique art of ancient intellectuals to a popular art that the public can learn and appreciate, and Shen Yinmo's contribution is the greatest!
Shen Yinmo's most commendable is his calligraphy, taking the fa Chu Suiliang, on the basis of the changes in Chu Suiliang's calligraphy, integrating the southern dynasty style and the style of the northern monument, his exploration of calligraphy is based on the "two kings", absorbing the excellent calligraphy experience since the Tang and Song dynasties, and the mastery of penmanship has reached the point of pure fire!
Mr. Shen Yinmo practiced writing extremely hard, and it is said that when he was not working, he practiced writing for more than 8 hours a day, and even wrote his eyes to a state of near blindness, so he became another master of calligraphy after Zhao Ziang!
His masterpiece is his pro-creation "Linshang Shu Province Langguan Shizhu Record", which was originally written by Zhang Xu, shen Yinmo's linben penmanship is more complete, the meaning is more abundant, is a rare and stunning work in recent hundreds of years!
This piece of "Linshang Shu Province Langguan Stone Pillar Record", the knot is square, attaches great importance to the change of starting and closing and line interruption, and is extremely ingenious in the layout of the knot, not only has the gestures in the book, but also can be rigid and soft, and the cotton is wrapped in iron, which is also the height that some people have difficult to reach since the Song and Yuan Dynasties!
After seeing this work, mr. Xu Pingyu, a great writer, commented:
"Beyond the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, straight into the Song Four Houses without shame" can be seen in the super high realm of Shen Yin's art of calligraphy!
