Chen Zhongkang's precise use of the ancient thesis penmanship is his thousand hammers and hundreds of hammers, and it is also the most touching place. As for innovation, it should be the experience of life and the perception of art, and in time, it will certainly shine more brightly. Chen Zhongkang's words look comfortable and cheerful, natural and timeless, which can be described as the wind and clear air. Today we bring you Chen Zhongkang's book "Orchid Pavilion Preface".
The structure and brushwork of the two kings were naturally formed by their writing posture at that time, including the Han Dynasty Jian Shuai. Now they are all crouching on the table to write, and if they want to write the penmanship and structure of the two kings, it is inevitable that there is a suspicion of fabrication. Xiaobian believes that the calligraphy of the second king is difficult to break through, and it is very successful to inherit it well. I think there are two reasons for the inability to break through, one of which is that there are a few people who can reach the realm of Wang Xizhi's tan belly and self-sufficiency; this kind of freedom is not something that anyone can achieve. Second, everyone talks about "breakthroughs" or shallow tricks that stay on "skills", and the more they try, the more vulgar they are! It's full of some strange hustle and bustle, not into that realm, everything seems pretentious! The biggest problem with the so-called calligraphers today is not technical but academic.
The success of calligraphy requires full confidence, firm forward, and hard work; it also needs to judge the hour and size up the situation, cultivate obscurity, and use the opportunity wisely. Nothing can be done in one fell swoop. If you want to be strong, you must learn to hide fish and turtles. Only thick accumulation of thin hair can make a splash. Understand that the effort in the morning is not successful in the afternoon, nor is it a seed that is immediately reaped. It is necessary to continue to pay and pay again, in order to be fruitful and full of harvest.
