Qian Dajun
People often use the term "gifted" to describe someone who is highly capable of learning in a certain field. So, is there a need for talent to learn calligraphy? Or is talent important to calligraphy? Some people think that talent is very important, they say that for example, doctors write every day, but there are not many well-written, and some people usually do not write much, but the writing is really good-looking, that is, the natural sense of pen and feel is better. The class representative believes that this is actually very one-sided. Because even if you write frequently, it depends on which aspect of its main pursuit -
Qian Dajun Seal Book
On the one hand, it is the pursuit of calligraphy itself, that is, the essentials of art such as dot painting, knotting, and chapters; on the other hand, writing is for practical purposes, and does not pay attention to the training and requirements of fonts, so it is not good to write for a lifetime. One of the reasons why most of the older generation of cultural people are very good at writing, because at that time, reading books had special calligraphy training, which is one of the reasons. For example, among the senior generals of the Republic of China, there are not a few who write good calligraphy, such as Sun Liren, Chen Cheng, Li Zongren and so on that we introduced earlier. Today, we are going to introduce the calligraphy of the famous Huangpu general Qian Dajun.
Qian Dajun was good at writing seal books, which can be said to be the biggest difference from the calligraphy of other generals. Although Qian Dajun's seal book was not the best in the Republic of China period, when viewed today, it can be said that it is not at all inferior to those "famous masters" of the China Book Association. His Zhong Ding seal book is calm and introverted, Juan Xiu is very strong, not a little ostentatious, and exudes a sense of elegance. Such a word is very consistent with his polite and rather ancient image temperament.
In addition, Qian Dajun twice invited his old classmate Chen Geng to chat and "drink tea" on the train twice, not only did not arrest him, but also sent Chen Geng 300 yuan when he left, which shows his sentiment and quality. Back to the main topic, let's continue to appreciate its calligraphy -
Qian Dajun (1893-1982), courtesy name Muyin, was a native of Wu County, Jiangsu Province. He was an instructor at the early days of the Whampoa Military Academy, actively participated in the anti-Qing and overthrow of Yuan in his early years, and later became one of Chiang Kai-shek's "Eight King Kongs" in the warlord melee, a general in the Army of the Republic of China.
