When we talk about calligraphy now, it is natural that we cannot avoid contacting the Calligraphers Association. Although there are a large number of book associations at all levels in various places, people are still more likely to rely on the Chinese Book Association. Today's Chinese Book Association can be said to be "mixed reputation", but it is still inevitable that many calligraphy enthusiasts want to join it, which may seem contradictory, but I think most people can understand the reason. Today we want to share the works of Shu Tong, the first chairman of the China Book Association.
People who are familiar with Shu Tong's works know that his calligraphy is very distinctive, and even Chairman Mao praised him as "a calligrapher of the Red Army and a pen in the party"! Shu Tong's characters start from the "two kings", take Yan and Liu Zhikai as the basis, take the strength of each family, make the strength of the circle, use the work of the Tibetan feng, allude to ingenuity, create a unique style, known as the "seven and a half minutes" book! That is, one point each for seal, li, kai, line, grass, yan, and willow, and half points for He Shaoji. It has a strong originality. For this reason alone, no contemporary calligrapher can match. The famous "China Anti-Japanese Military and Political University" school plaque is actually written by Shu Tong.
Some book friends said that Shu Tong's words are "round and vigorous, soft and rigid; natural and smooth, not conventional; learning from the past is not muddy, melting the ancient and the present, calling it calligraphy everyone, which can be described as worthy of the name." Ordinary people, those with shallow skills cannot understand its mysteries; those who are narrow-minded and restrained in their manners cannot lead their open-mindedness. However, some people said that when they heard shu Tong's word, their scalps were numb, and from 58 to 61 years, they made the Shandong people miserable and miserable, and after making an easy review, they hid in the book association and became the chairman of the book association. From this point of view, there always seems to be a very delicate relationship between "calligraphy and being human"! But in any case, it was the big family of revolution that trained Shu Tong into a generation of calligraphy masters.
