Wen 丨 Jing Song
One
Calligraphy does not have standards many times. There is no standard in all art. Seeing mountains and rivers, having a heart and no heart, subjectivity always plays a big role. It is said that the beauty of the face, the size of the facial features the proportion and distribution closer to the average, the more beautiful. The so-called public face is the most beautiful. Words are also like this in many times, mediocre, the audience is wide. Didn't Xu Wei say: Gao Shu does not enter the vulgar eye, and those who enter the vulgar eye are not Gao Shu. Shen Yusuo's calligraphy, let alone the public, is not necessarily appreciated by professionals. But if calligraphy really wants to look at it with an artistic eye, it still needs a little personality, insight, and differences to be interesting. It's all public faces, so just the photocopier.
Two
There is also a saying that "words are expensive because of people" or "words are passed on by people". Celebrities, that is, influential, communicative, his words and deeds, his gossip, his trivialities, can be concerned by the public and relish, his words are naturally easier to be seen by people, and it is natural to be known and liked. Of course, many cultural celebrities, whose minds, temperaments, and learnings have their own differences or superiority, are easier to spread and more affirmed. Many times, the word is indeed attached to the person, like his skin, like his gossip, like his characteristics, even with the appearance and spiritual qualities of his soul, in short, part of his life. Looking at calligraphy in this way, calligraphy is more high and mysterious, it is not only the art of line ink color, but also the symbolization of personality, forever living in the Chinese cultural map.
Three
Li Bai said, "Only the drinker keeps his name", in fact, many people rely on the name of the word for eternity. Countless people who have lived in this world, including everyone, also have a universal human nature. Joy and sorrow, eating and drinking Lazar, this has been the case throughout the ages. In one lifetime, the grass and trees are autumn, the vast majority of people are gone, disappearing, there is no trace, only a small number of people will have imperial hegemony or singable deeds, but most of them have been tampered with by historical interpretation, and their faces are completely different. Only some people's words have survived in their true form, and the dot paintings are still the same, and the charm is like a charm. The bright moon has not changed, as if the ancients are still there.
Four
The more he writes, the better he gets, he constantly finds himself, he constantly polishes himself; the more he writes, the more vulgar he writes, drowning in the ruts of the ancients.
Five
As soon as many writers pick up the brush, they become boring, scribbling and scribbling. This is because he does not have the aesthetic of calligraphy and does not know what is a good word. With the ignorance and fearlessness of a layman, he hoped to get closer to calligraphy. Because there is no guidance of talent, he is arrogant in front of the common word for a while, thinking that the pie of calligraphy will fall from the sky, and the next moment he is very humble and humble.
Six
From an antique, you can sometimes see the information of the maker. Is he passionate, or peaceful? He is healthy and strong, or thin and sensitive; he is confident and free, or he is trembling and rigid. Just like a dish, it will reveal the mood and physical condition of the chef.
Seven
Anything that gives people spiritual and sensual pleasures will ultimately be legitimate. Like writing, like art, like travel, like tobacco, alcohol, sex, same-sex marriage, and narcotics. What is harmful is not these things themselves, but the flooding and loss of control of human nature.
Eight
Antique artwork pays attention to a "road part". Things with a high road share are also available for collection and play, and things with a low road share are also garbage no matter how expensive they are. Just as the beggar becomes the helper, he is still a beggar.
Nine
Good bamboo carvings are not carved with knives, but grown out of bamboo, such as Anzhi's works; the beauty of women is opened from the inside of the body, not made of foundation and scalpel, such as... Or not.
Ten
It is shameful to judge the times and society in terms of one's personal circumstances. Hitler didn't persecute me, but I still think he's a demon. But I regret to see that some people think that this is the best time because they have made a little money. If you find a gold dollar in a dung pit, I hope you don't think that the dung pit is heaven.
Eleven
Why is it said that jade is not a tool? Because there is something wrong with the jade. The problem caused the jade carver to work hard, resulting in the work. The original seed that is completely faultless is always just a stone.
twelve
Literature and art in the service of workers, peasants, and soldiers? Zhu Wen has a novel called "Do the People Need a Sauna", then you are a waiter in the public bath!
thirteen
The so-called character building is also a rip-off! It's not all about you, it's you! You you you, without you, how will life be? The moon knows your heart.
fourteen
To say that life is better than fiction is basically silly X! It's like saying that wine is not as good as rice, just like saying that losing oneself is greater than losing one's temper, just like saying that movies are all deceitful, just like saying that journalism can win the Nobel Prize in Literature.
fifteen
If you just tell me a story, then you are just a tongue-chewing ghost who loves to talk about Zhang's parent Li Jia short, not a novelist, let alone an artist.
sixteen
Many writers look like cadres, why is this? What did art nourish him?
seventeen
Sex is not art, but Spring Palace is.
eighteen
Is realism art? Art is the landscape of the heart, the reality in the mind, the flower on the other side, the dream of the love affair in the past life and the dream of the next life. The so-called simple in-depth life, reflecting life, is just an investigation report and a clumsy fool's photography.
nineteen
You are the flower in the water, the moon in the mirror, the reality in your mind, the scenery on the other shore, and the self on the other shore. It is the memory of the past life, the imagination of the next life, the psalm of vicissitudes, the eternal fairy tale, and the girlish heart on the strings. It's destruction, it's escape, it's sculpture on the beach, it's empty glass of wine, it's stone sprouting, it's overspeed. It is the blossoming of the four seasons, it is the night and the night, it is the flower is not the flower fog and the fog, it is the laughter of heaven, it is the back of hell. It is no teacher, no teacher, no necessity, it is cocooned and self-bound, and it is feathered dengxian. It is a pirate ship, it is a paper airplane, it is a hundred works of rivers and lakes, it is thirty-six counts. It is the authorities who are fascinated, it is only because of being in this mountain, it is for the people of Yi To get haggard, it is the wax torch that turns into gray tears and begins to dry. It is a smoke cloud on paper, it is the hometown in the dream, it is a winding path, it is suddenly cheerful, it is a three-life stone, and it is a cut plum. It is the beginning before you come and the end after you go. It is for you to burn to ashes, but you do not know who I love you.
twenty
The person who writes the novel is the fish in the flow of time. Flowing in time, going back in time, crossing in time, sinking in time.
twenty-one
Those trees, from the seed to the final trunk falling, first sprouted quietly, and the roots stretched silently in the ground. Grow upwards, grow in all directions, accept the sun and rain, and endure the wind and rain. When it blooms, it doesn't matter who can see it, it doesn't care if there is a fragrance, it just blooms, it just blooms. Maybe you smell your own incense, you see your own charm, maybe you are touched by yourself, and then wither.
twenty-two
Of all the things in the world, the most common is habits. Once it is stained with this thing, it is like a beautiful woman is infected with wind and dust, and the snow has degenerated into sludge.
twenty-three
Stone and calligraphy are the most eastern abstract art. It doesn't need to be like this like that. It rises and falls, it looks left and right, it pushes and half pushes, it wants to say and stops, it is careless and heavy, and it seems to be nothing. It was unexpected and reasonable. Although it was speechless, it was eyebrow-raising.
twenty-four
The heart of the ancients who looked at the landscape was the heart of the ancients; the heart of the ancients with the hearts of the present people, the ancients knew the hearts of the ancients who did not know the hearts of the present people. The landscape once pleased the ancients, and the ancients did not see the present landscape.
twenty-five
Lyrically with pen and ink, flirt with pen and ink, sing with pen and ink, and dance with pen and ink. Use pen and ink to say what no one has said, and what no one has ever said. We must make pen and ink complement each other with words, resonate with words, resonate with literature, and with literature you have me, I have you, you and I are not divided, you and I are one. Let the pen and ink go to reverie, use the pen and ink to invent, to explore, to fall in love, to steal love, to make love, to betray; to go into the empty forest, to go beyond the transcendent, to embrace the dust; to travel, to hide, to whistle, to silence, to meditate, to mischief, to hide and seek. Do everything that is possible, such as what literature has done, such as what literature has never done.
