"Yu Junjian: Writing and painting calmly, maintaining pure love and awe for calligraphy"
Indifferent to fame and fortune, quiet as the best. This is the Taoist thought of the ancients, and it is also a realm that many people in today's society are pursuing. In this era of ups and downs, few people can truly maintain themselves.
Yu Junjian, a figure whose name is thunderous in both the calligraphy and music worlds. He adhered to his pure love and awe for calligraphy, never showed off his skills, never took advantage of fame, and was praised by the world for his strength and unique insights.
He once said: "Fame and fortune are enemies." He firmly believes that fame and fortune are a constraint for a person, a shackle that hinders self-development. He prefers to remain a true love and awe for calligraphy as a "half-paper".
Yu Junjian began to practice brush writing in his early years, and he liked to copy the fonts of Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan since he was a child. He pays attention to structural and technical innovation, hoping to make his work unique. His love of calligraphy, rooted in his heart from an early age, made him a skilled and accomplished calligrapher.
His view of calligraphy is also different. He believes that calligraphy is a kind of cultivation and sentiment, which can make people unearthly and enriching. However, the calligraphy world is now being abused by some people, who use calligraphy as a means of competing for fame and profit, which seriously desecrates the culture of Chinese characters.
Yu Junjian is an outspoken critic of corruption in the calligraphy world, arguing that using calligraphy simply as an art form is a blasphemy against calligraphy. He called on everyone to return to the essence of calligraphy and not lose the meaning of calligraphy for the sake of fame and fortune.
He once held a solo exhibition of paintings and calligraphy, showing the works he created in half a year. The exhibition did not have a particularly grand opening ceremony, nor did it stick to the number of ceremonies. He simply communicates with everyone and learns from them.
This exhibition not only allowed Yu Junjian to obtain the teachings of many calligraphers, but also attracted many colleagues from the literary and art circles to visit. These famous calligraphers and paintings have affirmed his works and put forward some suggestions for improvement.
Yu Junjian maintains a humble and open attitude towards these criticisms and opinions. He believes that only by continuous progress can we better inherit and develop the art of calligraphy.
Yu Junjian's artistic pursuit does not stop at calligraphy, he also draws inspiration from music and reflects it in calligraphy. His works not only have beautiful fonts, but also are full of rhythmic sense of musical melodies.
In Yu Junjian's view, calligraphy is not only an art, but also a culture. He opposed those who practiced their own convenience in the name of calligraphy, arguing that they had tarnished the purity and solemnity of calligraphy. He expressed strong dissatisfaction with the inaction of the Book Association and believed that the withdrawal of the Book Association was the best respect for calligraphy.
Yu Junjian is a very successful figure in both the world of calligraphy and music, however, he has always maintained a pure and rational heart. He did not give up love and awe, insisting on his love of calligraphy, regardless of the fame and fortune of the outside world.
This love and awe for calligraphy makes his work full of emotion and reflection, which is deeply inspiring. His artworks truly bear the name "Yu Junjian", representing his persistent pursuit and sincere attitude towards calligraphy.
"Yu Junjian: Writing and painting calmly, maintaining pure love and awe for calligraphy", this title truly reflects his artistic spirit and thoughts. Whether it is calligraphy or music, he can reflect his thoughts and perceptions of life.
His success lies not only in his talent, but also in his purity and intellect. He has always maintained a heart that is unambitious and forgetful, not talented and proud. His work is sincere and deep, inspiring and thought-provoking.
Fame is half paper, not reluctant to love and awe. Yu Junjian uses his strength and persistence to interpret indifference to fame and fortune and pursues the realm of art with a pure mentality. His works, like his life, are plain and fulfilling, full of wisdom and understanding. Let us pay tribute to such an artist, learn and pay tribute to his artistic spirit.
