Five-word couplet of insect calligraphy style weaving running script
Drunk songs, Tian She drinking, laughing and reading ancient books.
At Sang Ma's age, Mi Hui's career is getting newer every day.
Yu Youren (1879- 1964), formerly known as Bo Xun, was named Sao Xin. Shaanxi sanyuan people. He once joined the Guangfu Association and the League. He founded Shenzhou Daily and served as the second minister of the Ministry of Communications of Nanjing Provisional Government, the commander-in-chief of the national allied forces in Shaanxi, and the president of the audit institute and the supervision institute. 193 1 was founded in, and 1936 compiled a standard cursive script, which had a great influence. Yu Youren cursive Song Zhengqi and Yu Youren Mo Xuan were published.
Probably not many people will doubt the special position and historical role of Yu Youren's calligraphy in the history of modern calligraphy development. People have done a lot of research on the calligraphy of this famous calligrapher. Due to the limitation of space here, we have to discuss the most important issues for the author first.
In the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, there were two most important calligraphers who could be classified as vigorous or masculine, that is, Wu Changshuo and Yu Youren. As we all know, the world of calligraphy in this period is still the world of calligraphy for steles. Although the strong guns of foreigners have shaken the national self-confidence of some people in China to a certain extent, they have fundamentally failed to change their national pride of being ambitious and brave in fighting and their national spirit of strengthening the country and strengthening the species. When Yu Youren was born, he generously served the country, joined the army in politics and ran for the revolution, leaving an admirable legacy in a special social and historical period. This is the difference between his life path and others. In other words, early Yu Youren belongs to social politics rather than art, and these extraordinary life experiences and turbulent social history will have an impact on his calligraphy career. Although Yu Youren did not belong to poetry and books in his later years, history still made him an accomplished calligrapher and an influential poet.
It seems that the evaluation of Mr. Yu Youren's calligraphy art cannot be divorced from this historical framework. As far as art is concerned, what is the main contribution of Yu Youren's calligraphy under the shadow of the concept of stele study? Generally speaking, I can't talk about Yu's calligraphy without mentioning "standard cursive script". Under the historical conditions at that time, Yu Youren found an artistic way to popularize calligraphy by popularizing and standardizing cursive script. This kind of goodwill-oriented cultural concept may be rooted in the folk soil of traditional art, because the "four standards" he put forward at that time-easy to know, easy to write and accurate to be beautiful-are not all artistic categories. It should be noted that the popularization of "standard cursive script" was of positive significance at that time. Even in today's book industry, calling on people to "standardize" the articles of association is not out of date. However, when we evaluate an artistic idea and creative practice, we often fall into a "strange circle": from the artistic point of view? From a social and cultural point of view? "Standard cursive script" advocates standardization and standardization, and its purpose has positive social and cultural value, as if the value of artistic perspective is much weaker. Because art can ignore scientific problems. Some people may say that at least the "standards" that require reform are good. Of course, scribbling is astronomical, not cursive. Starting from "cursive script", everyone has a relatively stable standard "cursive script" in mind, even if each post is different. It is still within the big "standard" that people can finally read, otherwise they will be placed outside the "cursive" art. In this sense, "standard cursive" does not have much artistic aesthetic significance, so it is not nonsense. It must be emphasized that we are not opposed to the "standard" of "cursive script"-we should play football within the scope of international standards, otherwise "scoring goals" will be useless. The standardization of written law should not be a three-dimensional object with diverse styles. They have contradictions, but a clever calligrapher wants to unify this contradiction-show his skills in the limit. This is the problem of "standard cursive script" from the perspective of artistic ontology. In fact, since Mr. Yu Youren advocated the standardization of cursive script in 1930s, the development of calligraphy is still evolving according to its own laws. Yu Youren, as an artistic idea, basically failed.
However, as a calligrapher, Yu Youren succeeded. He deeply understood the tradition of stele study and creatively inherited the calligraphy of stele study, at the same time, he opened up a new aesthetic vision of stele study calligraphy and created the magnificent face of "style calligraphy". He inherited the legacy of Zhao, He, Yang Shoujing, Kang Youwei, Shen Zeng, Wu Changshuo and other calligraphers, and had a distinctive personality. Zhang Yuzhao's affectation and misunderstanding, Li Ruiqing's prudence and inability to imitate Mande's vision, and Kang Youwei's appearance have not left too many bad influences on the right-hand regular script. He accepts their aesthetic views, but not their practical theories. Yu Zhi participated in three generations, studied the Six Dynasties, and "wrote poems by imitating thirteen schools", which melted into the profound epitaph and finally established his own style-heroic, fresh and simple northern elegance. Yu Youren began to write regular script, and closed the pen to report the complexity. He controlled the complexity with simplicity, and was straightforward and full of ideas, which can be described as a profound understanding of the "post method". This "slipperiness" in brushwork not only proves that he is a master who understands the beauty of brushwork, but also embodies his aesthetic ideal of combining boldness with boldness in the ordinary. Although his brushwork is crazy, straight and simple in appearance, its connotation is quite heavy and rich, and it is a "return to simplicity" after "gorgeous pole", which reflects extremely profound aesthetic interest and artistic appeal. "It is difficult to talk about peace", and Yu Youren's pen is well deserved. In terms of text structure, his Epitaph on Tongbei Cliff is also unique, with ingenious tailoring and a unique dementia. Odd and positive alternate, density alternate, opening and closing, releasing and changing means, showing the tempering craftsmen of "post-ripening" and "post-ripening". The consistency between this brushwork and the structure is enough to show that Zhang Ming's "simple interpretation" is based on the traditional aesthetic feeling and the comprehensive strength of ancient people's skills-artistic courage and artistic ability. As far as the above characteristics are concerned, we have reason to think that he is a giant of calligraphy with two aesthetic styles of inscriptions, and we can also think that he is a great man who has opened up a new pattern of instant calligraphy.
The compatibility of the gas lattice and the exquisiteness of the expression embody the aesthetic characteristics of Yu Youren's calligraphy: elegance, magnificence and naturalness.
In the search for the beauty of calligraphy brushwork, structure and artistic conception, Yu Youren formed a really difficult style of stele. It is the humanistic background, personality temperament and cultural accomplishment of historical society, which combines the tradition of calligraphy with the tradition of calligraphy. Yu Youren's cursive script is also unique, and its brushwork is like brocade wrapped in iron, which is verve and ethereal, elegant and smart. In this calligraphy style with a limited number of buns as the main body, Yu's thin writing style directly led to the mistakes of ancient cursive script. Its own aesthetic value and its influence on the later development of calligraphy were unmatched by others in the early 20th century, and it was also one of the few calligraphy towns in the whole 20th century. The meaning of "writing" in Mupei's calligraphy is perfect. He is a transitional figure in developing the beauty of calligraphy of the tablet school and created a new aesthetic style of combining calendar with four.
