Qi Gong's best calligraphy work is Preface to Lanting. When it comes to calligraphy, I'm afraid that the first thing that many people can associate with is Wang Xizhi, especially Wang Xizhi's Preface to the Lanting Pavilion, which is highly praised by calligraphers of all ages. Preface to Lanting is also a heartfelt pursuit, and it has become one of calligraphers' calligraphy posts, and Qigong is no exception.
The preface to the Lanting Collection of Qigong Edition looks very comfortable, which is perhaps one of the most brilliant places of Qigong, and this kind of running script is also the highest realm of Mr. Qigong.
Characteristics of Qigong Calligraphy Works
Mr. Qi Gong visited ancient famous posts and won the essence of traditional calligraphy. Qigong regular script stippling is not very particular about frustration, and it is written easily and naturally; The structure is acceptable, but it is lively, casual and vivid with the stippling and structure of regular script. Qigong regular script was greatly influenced by Zhi Yong and Zhao Mengfu.
An obvious feature can be seen from Qigong's calligraphy, that is, slender and tough, which is just in line with the aesthetic thought of the ancients that "books are expensive but thin and hard". Many people naturally compare his thin and hard calligraphy with Song Huisong's thin and golden style. Although Qigong's calligraphy is thin and hard, its stippling is moist and elastic, so it is thin but not withered, elegant and charming, all of which are unfamiliar to the viewer.
Qigong pays attention to the structure of characters, and the length, size and thickness of glyphs can be born from characters, and the proportional relationship is very appropriate; Especially for characters with many strokes, pay special attention to the arrangement of stippling, and the position and proportion of each part in the structure of the whole character can be just right, coordinated and safe, which is satisfactory.
