Liu Sun's Calligraphy Review
—— Brief introduction of Liu Sun's calligraphy and seal cutting
Yang Jiping
A few years ago, Liu Sun and Jia fell in love with each other because of their common interest in calligraphy. The struggle in his life and the tempering in his career are difficult and the result is gratifying.
Jia is good at seal cutting. His seal cutting technique is exquisite, his lines are clear, he is full of stone and calligraphy, and he is vivid and interesting. Different from pure fashion, her seal cutting method is smart and quaint, which is really rare. Its cursive script is simple, the grass is wonderful, the ink is rich, the lines are round and rich, and the ancient meaning is full. Its seal script is very interesting, but it is too fashionable to use it too much. If you pay a little attention, you can achieve more success.
Liu Sun's calligraphy is relatively relaxed. His relaxed pen and colorful stippling are similar to the elegant atmosphere of his wife Cao Zhang, but relatively more free and easy. His pungent style and bold brushwork show the unique massiness and simplicity in the depths of the mountains. As the saying goes, one side nourishes the other, the book is like a person, and the painting style is like a person. Calligraphy is a true portrayal of people, and this irrefutable truth is another irrefutable proof. Among the works he sent me, there is a small bucket "Smoke and Cloud Support", which is concise and flawless. The so-called less wins more. The simplicity of China's art won its spirit, and this work won its spirit with simplicity! Liu Sun's calligraphy has been enlightened and gradually drifted away, but the bookish spirit has never changed, which really won my heart. In contemporary calligraphy, there are many people who only seek form and profound and fresh connotation, but Liu Sun's calligraphy is rare. If we can make more efforts in reading, our books will be more durable and worth tasting.
I am glad to hear that they will hold an exhibition of calligraphy and seal cutting in their hometown of Jixian during the Spring Festival, so this passage is a congratulatory gift for the students. A few days ago, a disciple sent a petition to correct a poem, which could inspire Liu Sun and his wife. Now it is recorded here as the conclusion of this article.
Every year, there is no distinction between winter and summer.
I can't see home every year.
People who run all over the mountain are not old,
Just to see all the Chang 'an flowers.

The first time I met Liu Sun's brothers was in Saibei Barracks in the early spring of 1992. At that time, my new employee had just joined the company. I heard that an old-timer of the film group wrote calligraphy, so I went to see Li Xinchun. It was the Liu Sun brothers who opened the door to meet us. He is not very talkative, but he is very approachable. Looking around, there is a photo of Zhang greatly in the small dormitory of the film crew. There are many books, inscriptions, Four Treasures of the Study and a four-foot-square all-paper Mo Bao neatly placed in the box, which smells of ink ... A barracks where squares can be added in a straight line. I heard that I also like calligraphy. He was not good at talking, so he suddenly spoke. From his expression and eyes, I can feel that my brother has a special liking for calligraphy. After 10 years of communication, I have a deeper understanding of my brother's character and books.
Liu Sunzu was born in Jixian County, Shanxi Province, where there are outstanding people, Hukou Waterfall, Foge Temple and other places of interest and numerous inscriptions. He became attached to calligraphy in his early years, and his starting point was high, which was not unrelated. In middle school, under the enlightenment of Bai and Yang Jiping, he began to learn calligraphy seal cutting, and established the first folk calligraphy organization calligraphy seal cutting society in the county with Liu Xushan and other organizations. They used their holidays to learn calligraphy together, wrote Spring Festival couplets for the masses on the streets, exchanged and studied with their counterparts in the national printing society, and then took part in face-to-face study in the calligraphy class of Tianjin Amateur Painting and Calligraphy Institute (now Tianjin Shenzhou Painting and Calligraphy Institute), where they studied under Mr. Tian and Mr. Yan Baozhong.
1at the end of 990, he came to a certain unit outside the Great Wall of the Beijing Military Region with a pen and worked in the army for thirteen years. Engaged in film screening, news propaganda and audio-visual education for more than ten years. No matter what position he was in, no matter how difficult the conditions were, he never gave up his pursuit of calligraphy. 1994- 1996, reported to the calligraphy training class of the Calligraphy Training Center of China Calligraphers Association with the allowance accumulated by the army. Under the guidance of Zhang Xuguang, Ma Shida, Sun Xiaoyun and other famous artists, his calligraphy has made great progress.
The name of the elder brother's fasting is "Yeyizhai", which is in line with his calligraphy style. Brother falcon is diligent in calligraphy and never slackens. He began to learn calligraphy such as Jiucheng Palace Monument, Ode to Shimen, Urgent Chapter, etc. After that, he took Erwang as the Sect and never stopped learning ancient times. Proficient in original works, cursive script, official script and seal script, especially cursive script. His writing style is smooth and old-fashioned, free and easy with tension, traditional and unconventional, elegant and tasteful. Zhou Xinglian said: "I said that between pen and ink is enough to inspire people to forge ahead, and so is calligraphy." Meteorology is the overall style of calligraphy works and the synthesis of many factors. Every time I look at his temporary study and creative works, I will smell a new breath, which shows that he is writing with his heart. In his works, people feel a kind of literati's wild interest, fresh and elegant. Even if it is a post, he is trying to pursue his own interests, a kind of heartfelt tension and calmness. This is his great pursuit. In pondering middle school and thinking middle school, this is his cleverness and his uniqueness. His poems are widely collected and preserved, both elegant and vigorous by Wang Shu and broad and heavy by Yan Shu; Whether it's Wang Chong's charm or Wang Duo's vigor. His pen-writing and pen-running are steady and prudent, without a trace of persistence. Look at its structure, putting in gains, putting in gains, often seeking different interests, charming as a gentleman, humorous as a scholar, and remarkable points can be seen everywhere. He pays great attention to ink painting. A painting is colorful, unpredictable and full of energy, which always gives people endless reverie. His use of rules and regulations is often just right. Reading his books, he thinks that white is black, he has a degree of choice, black is not satisfied, and white is not empty. He knows that his creation is carefully planned.
People say words as they are, and the formation of his calligraphy style should also be related to his character, cultivation and temperament. He is my dear comrade-in-arms and dear brother. He is honest, kind and helpful. During his time in the army, his words and deeds always influenced and influenced me, which benefited me the most in my life. He loves the traditional culture of China. In addition to calligraphy, he also dabbled in poetry, painting, printing, music and photography. He was persistent in his work and never gave up easily.
I remember one winter, in order to write a news report, we used to ride bicycles across the frozen ocean beach for dozens of kilometers, risking personal attacks to shoot some ignorant farmers burning and destroying trees in the fields. I can't stand giving up halfway. I suggested going back and not filming, but he insisted on going. In this way, he trudged in the cold Yanghe water for four hours and arrived at the interview site, where he photographed first-hand information and successfully completed the interview task. When we came back, the trouser legs of the winter training clothes we wore turned into ice, but he was like a king who came back from victory, holding a developed photo in his hand, forgetting the hunger of not eating for a day, and devoted himself to writing a manuscript. In fact, because it is a calligraphy work, Brother Hayabusa can do it and has always had extraordinary perseverance. My favorite time is to sit quietly beside Hayabusa's brother with Xiao Ceng and Zhou Yan after work, quietly enjoying new books or listening to his wonderful flute. At that time, his deep eyes always gathered in the distance, and I was already intoxicated by his melodious flute.
My brother loves reading, but he is the most diligent about China traditional culture. His desk, his bedside, his luggage, there are always several books explaining words, book theory, Lao Zi, Zhuang Zi, Spring and Autumn Period ... In his words: porridge will be more fragrant when cooked!
My brother's calligraphy, which originated in the Sanjin Dynasty, is longer than that in the Central Plains. Harmony from his family is the root of his growing calligraphy. Jia, your sister-in-law's wife, is gentle in nature and noble in taste. She is also a hero in the book world. Her books are printed in a unique way. They became attached to each other at the calligraphy seminar of China Calligraphers Association, and they learned from each other and encouraged each other in Fly with Me. It is really a story of an era. Their calligraphy and seal cutting works frequently appear in important national calligraphy exhibitions and have won many national and military calligraphy awards. Their calligraphy works and biographies are collected by many calligraphy and seal cutting dictionaries or specially by art galleries and friends, and are regarded as treasures.
Last August, my brother and sister-in-law met at the Hukou Art Festival on the Yellow River. Although time flies, I haven't seen you for many years, and my love is stronger. What's the point of splashing ink on the banks of the Yellow River?
After the army changed jobs, my brother first worked as a director and cameraman in TV station, and then founded Henan Huayu Film and Television Production Co., Ltd. as an artistic director and director. He directed more than ten films and TV series. He learned a lot in the field of art, enjoyed it and gained a lot!
Brother Falcon sent me more than 50 photos of his carefully created calligraphy and seal cutting works. Looking at these works to be exhibited in my hometown gave me a refreshing feeling. Brother Falcon took out so many excellent works when he was not confused, and reported them to relatives in his hometown after leaving Jixian for more than 20 years. It is also the summary of his 20-year study career. It is really a great event in Jixian book circle. Grateful to take a song to congratulate him! Elegant is not high, please smile, Falcon.

Don't be confused at forty.
