In the contemporary book world, some calligraphers have turned the writing of Chinese characters into calligraphy art, and suddenly opened up the distance with traditional calligraphy. The so-called relationship between writing and calligraphy, in their eyes, is the difference between traditional and innovative. In the eyes of ordinary people, the calligraphy is a person who writes very neatly and very beautifully, which is the real level of calligraphy, and even some people think that the level of calligraphy depends entirely on how well it is written.
However, contemporary calligraphers do not like to write neat and neat calligraphy, because in their eyes, those calligraphy that are "like operators" are not calligraphic artistry at all, and only when the relationship between the size, thickness, integrity, and density of the characters is arranged very well, it can be regarded as the artistry of calligraphy. Therefore, many calligraphers often look for some books with interesting writing interest in history to discover, explore and innovate. For example, Zeng Xiang and others found the meaning of calligraphy for themselves from some works of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and also became a special symbol of their own calligraphy style.
Liang Pei first graduated from Nanjing Normal University and the Central Academy of Fine Arts, studied under Wei Tianchi, Ma Shida, Qiu Zhenzhong, Wang Dongling and other teachers, good at the research and creation of Weibei calligraphy and cursive calligraphy, his works have won awards in the National Calligraphy Competition, and many papers and works have been published in calligraphy magazines and newspapers. His teacher, Qiu Zhenzhong, said: "Liang Peixian has an excellent sensitivity to calligraphy, visual art works, and poetry. Wang Dongling said: "Pei Xian immersed himself in subordination, taking his broad and old age, hair as grass, the weather is wide, and the penmanship is free and clear." ”
The above two gentlemen gave full affirmation to Liang Peixian's calligraphy, mainly involving two core issues: one is that Liang Peixian's calligraphy has a strong visual art, just like poetry, it has a certain sense of rhythm and rhythm; second, Liang Peixian's calligraphy starts from Han Li, and the expression method on Han Li has a positive atmosphere, and the penmanship is also very free and natural. In short, both of his mentors believe that Liang Peixian's calligraphy works have a full degree of artistic expression.
So, what is the visual art of calligraphy?
Visual art is a feeling that calligraphy works give people a sense of the senses. In today's terms, it should be a plastic art with a sense of form and a sense of wholeness. This is the main feature of contemporary calligraphy works. However, calligraphy works are not only visual works of art with a sense of form, which is completely insufficient. When Liang Peixian created calligraphy works, there were two other elements involved: one was the meaning of Chinese characters, and the other was the line ability of pen and ink.
For the meaning, as mentioned earlier, this is another basic idea of contemporary calligraphers looking for calligraphic expression. Liang Peixian's Kaishu, which is based on the Fa Gaogu, did not start with Tang Kai, but took Han Li as the foundation and made great efforts in the Wei Monument. We know that in the history of calligraphy, the Wei Stele came from the Lishu, which is a transitional calligraphy, which has the function of carrying on the upper and lower levels, and is also a kind of calligraphy that opens the Tang Dynasty. Liang Qixian's efforts in the Lishu were to lay the foundation for better writing Wei Yuan.
The ability to draw is a fundamental skill that any calligrapher must have. Even if the work has a sense of picture and visual sense, if it lacks the expressive ability of pen and ink, it is only a superficial kung fu. As his teacher said, Liang Peixian had worked hard in Hanli during his school years and had undergone four years of rigorous training. Liang Peixian's calligraphy works, the line quality is very thick, this is due to the long-term study of Han Li, like the "cone painting sand" with a golden stone atmosphere, indeed wrote the Han Majestic Style of the vast atmosphere.
The next step is the talent cognition and expressive ability of the work, that is, the artistic expression method. In Liang Peixian's calligraphy works, as a southerner, he not only gives the beautiful atmosphere of the works, but also fully displays the Zhengda atmosphere and profound atmosphere of Han Li, and uses his own learning, cognition and emotion to participate in the creation of art, making the works impressive and lamentable.
However, for calligraphy enthusiasts, some people think that as a graduate student, the script is written like this, because the letter is really not easy to write, it is not easy to learn, and now many people who can't write well go to the sword to take the side, and make some strange works say that they are works of art, which is really difficult to identify. Some people believe that those so-called artists, even if the works are written well, no one will learn it, and such works are difficult to pass on in history, after all, the works that can be handed down before are all good-looking, such as Wang Xizhi's characters are beautiful, and Ouyang Qian's calligraphy is even more beautiful.
