Many people's first impression of Lin Zhimian is the identity of the Xinhai revolutionary, in fact, in addition, he is also a calligrapher in the Guangdong book world to open a new method of calligraphy, but all along, his identity as a calligrapher has always been hidden by the former. If we only talk about the influence of contemporary calligraphers on the Guangdong book scene, Lin Shi surpassed a large group of professional calligraphers. Why do you say this, because Lin Zhimian's Hanli calligraphy can be described as unique, and at that time it had the reputation of "Linbei Zhimian".
Lin Zhimian's Lishu did not fall behind the Qing Dynasty Lishu, but directly took the Fa Han Wei, and combined the strengths of various families to adapt, eclectic, not limited to one stele and one family. His calligraphy is rich in bones, strong and free, with Deng Shiru's Gang and Wu Rangzhi's softness, and he has become a family of his own. It is said that Wu Changshuo once lamented that "the future life is terrible", and Jian Jinglun also said that "Mian Jun did not dare to ask the subordinate"...
Lin Zhimian's Lishu became famous in Guangdong and was known as the "Giant of Lingnan Lishu". There are countless learners who follow the trend, and even the Lishu in the Guangdong book world at that time can be described as a situation of unique flowers. After his death, although many of the Scholars of Cantonese Scholars studied under Wu Zifu, and some of them were even his disciples from the third and fourth lineages, if traced back, they were indirectly influenced by Lin Zhimian's influence.
However, Lin Zhimian was very short after all, and there were few calligraphy works handed down in his life, coupled with the later suspected Liao case, long prison, so now people do not know much about his calligraphy, or even rarely mentioned. But this does not negate his achievements in calligraphy (especially lishu).
Back to the main topic, let's enjoy the calligraphy works of Lin Zhimian of "Linbei Zhimian" together——
Lin Zhimian (1888-1934), whose ancestral home was Zengcheng, Guangdong, later moved to Shilong, Dongguan. In the spring of 1910, he left home for Hong Kong and joined the League through Hu Hanmin's introduction, responsible for propaganda affairs. During the Guangzhou New Army Uprising, Lin Zhimian sold his property to fund the revolution, which was praised as a feat of "destroying the family and serving the country", and helped Sun Yat-sen many times in his revolutionary journey, and was later imprisoned for suspected Liao case.
