Mr. Rong Tie's plaque art
The plaque has left many classics in the mountains, rivers and historic sites of the mainland. The plaque and the scenery complement each other, and add a bit of ink fragrance to the scenery. Mr. Rong Tie, a famous Chinese cultural scholar, painter, calligrapher, seal carver, stamp designer has inscribed plaques for many temples and famous buildings and other cultural relics in China.
Mr. Rong Tie's plaque works have the style of a master, with the pen seal against the pen in the center, hiding the edge at the beginning of the harvest, melt and press in the gentle, turn the square into a circle, the pen is heavy and stretched, the wonder of the ancient method of the strong and strong, there is the posture of the nine clouds and cranes, and there is no saber rattling. The lines are round, full, and calm, and they are thick and plump without losing their muscles and bones, such as printing mud and painting sand. The pen and the word, the upper are all covered and the lower is carried down, and the situation is reflected in each other; It seems that the words are plain, but they can stretch their strokes in the flatness. The overall style shows the freedom of excellent travel, calm and unhurried, broad and quiet, dignified and with a posture of expectation, condensation and scattered rhyme, rushing and with the god of kitsch, graceful and broad, majestic and simple, deep and generous wind and god interest, the grand atmosphere of the book, the first person to write the contemporary plaque.
Mr. Rong Tie's works "Nian Buddha Hall", "Three Holy Temple", "Anning Temple", "Daxiong Treasure Hall", etc., reflect not only a momentum, but also a cultural and emotional embodiment. The philosophical and cultural complexes of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism in China for thousands of years have always been chaotic in the minds of literati. "If you are good, you will help the world", and "if you are poor, you will be good alone", Mr. Rong Tie, as the deputy director of the Tibetan Department of Culture, has a great responsibility. The value of his calligraphy itself is naturally branded with the value of his life. In Mr. Rong Tie's works, we can also see such themes: Top Gun, Tranquility and Far-reaching, Iron Heart, Humility and Simplicity, etc., not so much that these words and phrases are inspirational legacies left by ancestors for thousands of years, but that Mr. Rong Tie expresses his integrity and mind in the way of calligraphy. For example, the plaque of "Ode to the Yellow River in the Hundred Years" is a rectangular horizontal plaque with gold characters on a brown background, and the size of the glyph naturally shows the rigorous style of Rongtie calligraphy, the body of the book is strong, neat and thick, which reflects the characteristics of the italic ethereal and sparse, concise and straightforward with the pen, the line quality is thick, the knot space is dense, the weather is harmonious, and each stroke of the book body is graceful with other strokes and the overall structural layout of the plaque, showing a strong and smooth appearance.
Mr. Rong Tie is in the creation of the plaque, and his success has a great inspiration and exemplary role for us. From his calligraphy, we can see Mr. Rong Tie's moral personality ideals of fairness and integrity, as well as his mental cultivation in communication with heaven and earth, which is the background reason why his calligraphy has personality strength. Ouyang Xiu commented on Yan Zhenqing's "Festival of Loyalty and Righteousness, as bright as the sun and the moon, its dignity and strength, like its strokes", Mr. Rong Tie's atmospheric and hearty brushwork, not only has its "reality", but also its "text", reflecting the Confucian "sincerity" thought, so Mr. Rong Tie's calligraphy must be natural and strong, such as mountains and rivers and water veins rushing, filled with the spirit of "Shi" that has been difficult to find for a long time.
