Calligraphy creation is the best example of paying attention to the balance of yin and yang, and it is also a concentrated display of the laws of yin and yang in Taiji.
He wrote three big characters "Yunmeng Mountain", a famous scenic tourist area in Henan. In Yunmeng Mountain, tourists all praise this good handwriting. The author first interviewed him and wrote a manuscript. Unexpectedly, calligraphers did not start talking about calligraphy creation. He first talked about the culture and principles of Zhouyi. In his eyes, China's calligraphy is like this: lines are the life of China's calligraphy and painting, culture is the soul of China's calligraphy and painting, and the Book of Changes is the core of China's cultural core. The three complement each other and cause and effect each other, so that the calligraphy written has a magical charm.
In fact, calligraphy and Zhouyi are inextricably linked and related. Li Junfeng said that the Book of Changes is the head of the group classics and the source of the avenue. It describes the changes of everything in the world with two opposing elements of yin and yang, which is rich in content and covers a wide range. It's about astronomy, geography and personnel. Zhouyi covers all aspects from natural science and social science to daily life and human behavior. The author asked: Is the Book of Changes related to calligraphy? Mr. Li Junfeng believes that: 1. Calligraphy steles (steles are yin and posts are yang); Second, the length of the line (in the gossip of Yin and Yang, the long line is Yang and the short line is Yin); Third, the knot can go in and out freely (accept it as yin and release it as yang); Fourth, the pen and ink are thick and light, (thick is yin, light is yang); Fifth, the composition is quite dense, (sparse for yang, dense for yin); Sixth, calligraphy works (white rice paper is yang, thick ink is yin) ... The symbols in Zhouyi Bagua, one horizontal yang is yang, which is equivalent to the horizontal line of calligraphy, and the two small horizontal lines are yin, which is equivalent to another dotted line of calligraphy. Calligraphy composed of yin and yang is really creative.
In his study and studio, I saw that when he was creating calligraphy, he combined speed and pressure to achieve a balance between yin and yang, a clear distinction between primary and secondary, and openness. He said that if calligraphy is not like this, it will cause: the lonely yin is not born, and the lonely yang is not long. How can I write calligraphy well? Actually, Cang Xie, the ancestor, said, "The change of the poor world is like writing in the palm of your hand, the sky is like rain, ghosts cry at night, Long Yin". The myth and religious consciousness he accumulated in the process of creating Chinese characters made each Chinese character have a special symbolic function, which laid an objective foundation for the emergence and development of China's calligraphy art, so the real growth and maturity of calligraphy could not be separated from the thinking and science of Zhouyi.
One life two, two lives three, three lives everything. It is on this basis that calligraphy is transformed into skillful brushwork and structure, and finally various calligraphy styles are written. Today, Mr. Li Junfeng conveyed his latest experience on the relationship between the "master" of divination in Zhouyi and the "master" pen in calligraphy creation. He said that in ancient times, everyone thought that although all desires were good, there must be something, such as painting, hooking, picking, wearing and brushing "masters", such as beautiful stones and jade, which made people play and could not be famous; In an article, although all desires are good, there must always be one or two words, such as fish and birds. Phoenix thinks itself to be the "master" and makes people play with it. It is impossible to say that this method of Zhong and Wang is perfect. The theory of "master divination" in Zhouyi has something in common with calligraphy. This similarity is the "master" theory in calligraphy. With the "Lord" writing, there is a center. Just like painting a landscape painting, the main peak must be determined first, and the rest (such as structure, layout and momentum) can be supported. Try to read the word, because with that heavy stroke, that is, the "main pen", the whole word appears calm and distinct, with charm. Look at the word again, the long cross in the middle holds the whole word like a rafter, as steady as Mount Tai. The main pen is like the eyes of a poem, the main theme of music and the protagonist in the movie, which shows the importance of the main pen. The "master pen" is also like the "divination master" in a hexagram, which defines the whole hexagram. If there is no "master" in the word and no "diviner" in the divination, then you are not a gentleman or a minister, and your discipline will be chaotic. (Yang Dufenhe)
