Since Wu Changshuo was placed in the Republic of China, Huang Shiling naturally became the last seal engraving master in the Qing Dynasty.
Huang Shiling is 20 years younger than Zhao Zhiqian and 5 years younger than Wu Changshuo, and the reason why Wu Changshuo returned to the Republic of China is because Wu Changshuo lived an older life, and Huang Shiling died before he was 60 years old, which is a pity. If he can live to be the same age as Qi Baishi, it is estimated that his achievements will be greater, which shows that if an artist wants to achieve greater artistic achievements, health is also very important. Nevertheless, Huang Shiling's achievements can still be called the level of a master.
Huang Shiling (1849-1908), the character Mufu, a mufu, the late yishan people, tired sorcerer, etc., Huang Shiling was born in Yixian County, Anhui Province, Wudu Huang Village a family of scholars. It should be noted that he was born in Anhui, and he was born into a family of scholars. We should also remember that in my previous article about He Zhen, I mentioned a sentence that Zhou Lianggong said in the "Biography of the Indians": "Since He Zhongchen succeeded Wen Guobo, and the seal was returned to Huangshan together, and over time Huangshan had no seal, not without an imprint, and the lady could be a seal." "After He Zhen appeared, most of the national seals and one vein of learning were classified as anhui Huangshan one vein, and after a long time, no one in Huangshan would not engrave the seal.
Huang Shiling spent his childhood in such an atmosphere: soaking in the environment of seal carving.
At that time, all the "seal science books" in China were mostly from Xin'an, which was beyond the reach of his county. "As far as Huang Shiling's eyes can see, everyone is an Indian, and the books are all seal-engraved books, and it is impossible to think that they are not affected."
Of course, Huang Shiling's seal engraving also originated from his seal book, because he was also a great calligrapher in the end.
Huang Shiling also experienced war later, and there was no Indian in that period who did not experience war, because the land of Shenzhou under the rule of the Qing government was trembling in the war of the Taiping Rebellion, and all the Indian scholars like Zhao Zhiqian, Wu Changshuo, and Huang Shiling were not immune to the poison of military disasters.
Old rules, Huang Shiling's life I wrote a special article before, you can find it, today we still mainly talk about the works:
Ji Box Auditor, since we look at his first square seal, there should be such an impression that Huang Shiling's works have a strong Jijin style. Like the fine carvings on exquisite metal utensils, this side is like this, and at a glance, you can feel the ancient breath coming from the face, like facing an ancient artifact on one side.
Lianfu, or also saw the square fold font of the Zhejiang school of Ding Jing, also saw the long lines of the lower part, and even saw the steep beauty, but the lines of Huang Shiling were smooth and exquisite.
At the beginning of the literacy troubles of life, this square seal is the seal of Huang Shiling, the red color of the herringbone and the full white meaning of other words, so that I can not forget for a long time, most of the own books 20 years ago, have been covered with this party seal has been read as a reading secretary.
Meaning farewell to the West Lake Man six years, the same as the previous seal, the dense place is airtight, the sparse place can run horses, although the New Year character only occupies a narrow vertical, but because the lower part of the blank, self-standing line, do not feel the bend, and more dashing, and the content of the printed text reflects, do not have a lot of sorrow rushed to the heart.
Shiling private seal, I have always thought that the bird and insect seal is needed to be completely free to control the knife method to dare to involve, in fact, not only the knife method, the hun yuan consistent chapter method, dense as the decoration of the metal pattern, are not overnight kung fu, look at such a seal, such as looking at the emblem pattern of an ancient tribe, exquisite, permeated with mysterious atmosphere.
Ten days to paint a water and five days to paint a stone, what a romantic painting career, if you do not have to consider your livelihood, delve into gold stone painting, it is really the greatest joy in life. This square seal, horizontal painting to the extreme, even the vertical pen water characters often used in ordinary days, but also master Huang turned horizontal, of course, this is not only the square of the Han seal, but also the influence of some Zhejiang school glyphs, and the chapter law, the taste of the Hui school is not light.
This is the Han seal style, the chapter law, the grammar of the word are similar, but the knife method is not completely Han Indian style, there are traces of the later genre of knife method, the magic in the left side of the sick frame, just to the whole side of the dull seal breath.
If you don't think about it seriously, or think that this is the work of Wu Changshuo, no, this is smoother than Wu Changshuo's strokes, and it is also more playful than other masters of the Anhui School.
The golden stone obtained by Tsuen Sun is also a "stone" character, one on the side, one in the center, the long length of Huang Shiling is handled to borrow power from the border, and Wu Rangzhi's "between the escape Zen boiling stones" is centered in the middle, and the method used is to thicken, huang Shiling's stones are like falling stones in the sky, and there is a sense of falling down, so the upper horizontal has made a downward bend change. Wu Rangzhi arched horizontally above, and the stones swayed with the wind like gourds on high hanging vines.
I have been idle to make up for my life, a bit of Wang Guan's cleaning meaning, but because of the many curved pens, it is more dynamic than Wang Guan's quiet breath, which is of course the trick that Huang Shiling found from Ji Jin's text.
Xue cen hand shape, Cen character head, the last stroke of the character, all come from the ancient gold stone inscription, and the original square and rigid printing surface has become colorful because of this change, and the lower part of the Cen character, the upper part of the hand character, echoes each other, which is really interesting.
Yongshou Jiafu, like the first party seal, this is obviously still a golden stone script, not only a golden text, the border also uses a thick border, the style of the ancient seal, now we often use it, roughly with Huang Shiling to learn some of it.
Kunyou Annex, a look at the printing surface is reminiscent of the "Tianfa Divine Tablet", it can be seen that it is not only Qi Baishi who finds nutrition from this stele.
Ancient locust neighboring house, looking at this square seal, I thought that in addition to the Han seal, there was also Wang Guan, but Wang Guan would never do such an exaggeration of Huang Shiling's strokes, so along the way down Wang Guan was Lin Gao, Chen Julai, and Huang Shiling had become another faction.
Independent mountain people, the middle vertical of the mountain characters, the arch of the herringbone, the head of the monogram, the whole character of the standing character, and the whole print are filled with images of golden stone hieroglyphs.
We look at Huang Shiling's seal, vaguely each side has the shadow of the Han seal, but each side has his beating breath, he is in the Han Seal style of the seal, the most obedient Zhao Zhiqian, he said: "Zhao Yifu imitates Han, no seal is incomplete, no painting is not clean, such as jade people ruling jade, there is no discontinuity, and the ancient atmosphere is Muran, what a god." He believes that the erosion we saw in the late Han Andyin period is the reason for the passage of time, and the indians in later generations do not have to do damage treatment in the west.
Huang Shiling's creation has both the foundation of the Han seal, and the content of the Qin Quan's edict, and also the two Han Jijin characters, so it is not only the neatness of the Han seal, but also some danger and agility, so we will find a place that beats surprisingly in roughly every seal, which is different from Zhao Zhiqian in the same period, and Wang Guan, the predecessor of the Ming Dynasty, did not do this.
Li Yinsang, a student of Huang Shiling, once commented on the difference between Zhao Zhiqian and Huang Shiling, saying: "The study of sorrow is in Zhenshi, and the study of Yishan is in Jijin; the merit of sorrow is below Qin and Han, and the merit of Yishan is more than three generations." Indeed, Huang Shiling's seal carvings started from the Zhejiang school, shi chengwan school Deng Shiru, the integration of the two families of Anhui and Zhejiang, forming an independent style, its originality lies in the zhongding, coins, edicts, tablets, bricks and tiles and other words, each body is well-informed, uncomplicated, eclectic, and fused in one furnace, which is also the most prominent feature of the sect he founded, "Yishan School".
Qing Dynasty master, to Huang Shiling.
