The Third National Album Exhibition Creative Notes

Author Zhang Shu

▶︎

Before the album exhibition came, there was some excitement, the album can show the calm and elegance of calligraphy, and its decorative beauty coupled with the author's bookish atmosphere is very suitable for showing the text and quality of calligraphy. I am writing the small characters of the two kings and one way, and the style of writing determines a certain advantage in the display of the album. In recent years, in the case of the "Book Spectrum", the two kings are gathered in the grass, and the masters are numerous, it is quite difficult to make a breakthrough. With the mentality of focusing on participation, I can express my daily thoughts well in my works, and if I can exhibit it, it is an additional blessing, and what is more important is the down-to-earth accumulation and practice of every day of life.

Jia Dao's poem: "If you don't write poetry for a day, your heart is like a waste well." Writing a book is not like this, a large number of daily posts and creations, so that their understanding is more and more in-depth, the level of naturally greatly improved.

Life is like this on weekdays, as the ancients said, "Burn incense and sit quietly, and collect this heart." Clean and clean, having time to read, and being excited to get a pen to write his own disposition", painting, tea tasting, playing the piano, singing music. If you are quiet, you can read, and if you read, you will be reasonable, and you will not be busy with some things. The album exhibition works were only written in the last few days of the deadline, and there was no deliberate preparation of many, just like daily study of calligraphy and painting, busy hands, careful to come.

Regarding the utensils, two weeks before the deadline, two albums were set to match the size, but they were 100 yuan and simple and simple. Two different kinds of paper were written, one was the old paper that had been put for more than ten years, there was no fire, just right. Cut into small notes, write slowly, some antique, very similar to the color of the poster, each piece is left a lot of white. Then I wrote a picture of West and Hemp Paper, which had the feeling of some residual paper, and it looked simple and elegant under the light. I posted it all in the studio in one go, compared the overall effect and cast a second book.

Now that erwang is popular, it is not easy to write with characteristics. Before writing the "Book Spectrum" has been round, and can not do the ultimate fine, writing "Self-Narrative" and feel that their lines are somewhat sleek, and then came into contact with the Ouyang Inquiry Book "Huadu Temple Stele" that if the feeling of fang ruo round, I want to add it. This album is basically based on the Ouyang Inquiry Book, the feeling of writing it as a line book, plus cursive to change the chapter, writing live Ou Kai, this is also an exploration of mine, I don't know if it works, some are different from some people who write the second king, this time good luck.

Because I wrote Erwang Xingcao and then wrote Ou Kai, the two styles that were originally incompatible together appeared abrupt, which was also a problem that I had always wanted to solve. The work is somewhat childish and has some shortcomings.

An exhibition cannot say anything when it is an encouragement to oneself. The road is long, there are too many disturbances along the way, some from the self, some from the outside.

Everyday writing

For example, you can sit down for three or four hours a day without touching your mobile phone, have no distractions, write or read, and see who around you has made much money, what activities you have participated in, what position honors you have obtained, what you have bought, you can not admire each other, you can not waver, you can not be surprised by your own exhibition awards, you do not lose your mind, you also have to eliminate the interference of some busy trifles in life and work, clearly perceive your position and direction, do not lose on the way to exploration, it is not easy to calm down and persist, you must observe things from stillness, To see people busy in idle places, only to have superworldly fun, when they are busy, they will steal idle, and they can take quiet in the midst of trouble, which is the work of settling down and establishing their lives'.

It is a good luck and honor to be included in such a large exhibition as the album exhibition, and it is also a great honor, and more effort is needed. The above experience is really difficult to see the Fang family, and I hope that the same Teachers and Friends will teach them.
