A micro-review of the books written by Chairman Tang Yunlai of the Tianjin Calligraphers Association

Hanbing/Article

? As Mr. Tang Yunlai, a disciple of the master of Chinese studies Wang Xuezhong, is famous for his poetry and calligraphy. His calligraphy style contains hardness, softness, and lofty ideals. From an aesthetic point of view, it should be in harmony. We know that the aesthetic categories of harmony and implication are a very high quality in the eyes of ancient connoisseurs, and they also contain a kind of philosophical interest.

? "Laozi" said: If you use it when the Tao rushes, it may not be full. Wang Bi noted: Use it in a rush, and you can never run out of it; use it fully to create reality, and the reality will overflow in the aesthetics of calligraphy. Chonghe has the character of emptiness and peace, dilution and implication. Brother Yunlai's calligraphy exudes peace and tranquility. Calm and smooth, round and vivid yet quiet and simple.

Brother Tang inherited his family studies from a young age, studied poetry, and diligently painted and calligraphy. Later, he studied under the master of Chinese studies Mr. Wang Xuezhong. He also received guidance from masters of calligraphy and painting such as Sun Qifeng, Sun Kegang, Wang Songyu, and Gong Wang. He also dabbled in calligraphy such as Yan Lugong, The writings of Mi Fu, Wang Duo, Fu Shan and others were later studied carefully in Mi Shu. "Selected Works" says that Yunlai takes Mi Fu Shuhan as his sect. "Shuhan" here naturally refers to ink marks. Mi Fu, one of the four masters of calligraphy in the Song Dynasty, excelled in calligraphy in various styles, and his highest achievement was in running script. Yun Lai's achievements in running script are also very outstanding. "History of the Song Dynasty" said Mi Fu: "Especially wonderful in calligraphy, calm and flying. Calmness and flying are two opposing styles. Mi Fu has both, because of his independent calligraphy personality. Tang Yunlai's running script is full of Mi Fu Fu's steps, and his intelligence and diligence, have created his own style.

His style of running script lies in winning over others and blending in with the free and easy school and the elegant school. < /p>

Mr. Tang's brush strokes form an elegant and elegant style in the upright, pitched, turning, and upsetting styles, with a calm and joyful style. The structure is open and closed freely, and the composition is novel and free. , with a long tassel of energy, like the waves of the sea, the majesty of the mountain. From a single character perspective, each character has its own style. Viewed as a whole, it looks left and right, echoes back and forth, and the whole text is balanced and full of energy, just like a knight holding a sword. He is not only handsome and heroic!

Mr. Tang not only has his own style of calligraphy, but also has extensive research on ancient poetry. He also likes to compose his own poems. Whenever he has a poem, he writes it orally or writes it with a steady rhythm. He is also good at calligraphy, such as the "Jibei Xiongguan" of the Huangyaguan Great Wall and the plaque on the Liuhe Pagoda in Hangzhou, which is one of his handwritten "Ten Scenes of Jinmen".

Attached is the original text and appreciation of the poem

? "Looking at the Mountains"/Du Fu, Tang Dynasty

How is Dai Zongfu, Qilu is still young

The Good Fortune Bell. The sky is beautiful, the yin and yang are cut off at dusk.

? The clouds are rising in the chest, and the birds are returning to the canthus. p> Poetry Appreciation

This is what Du Fu, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote about looking at Dongyue Mount Tai.

The poem uses "looking" as the title, praising Dongyue Mount Tai and praising the magic of nature. I hope that one day I can reach the top of the mountain to express my ambition.

The first two sentences describe the height and greatness of Mount Tai. First, I write about my admiration for it, and then about its magnificence across Qi and Lu. Magnificent. The third and fourth sentences describe the magical beauty of Mount Tai and the majestic image that can separate day and night. The fifth and sixth sentences describe the endless clouds in the mountains, and the last two sentences describe the sight of Mount Tai and the climb to the peak. It expresses the poet's ambition to not be afraid of difficulties and dare to climb, showing his perseverance and lofty political aspirations.

Among them, "will be at the top of the mountain and see all the small mountains" is the most famous one. The famous saying has been widely recited by people for thousands of years.

? "Dwelling in the Mountains in the Dark"/Wang Wei of the Tang Dynasty

? After the new rain in the empty mountains, autumn comes late. /p>

? The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring flows upstream.

? The bamboos are noisy and return to Huannu, and the lotus leaves are floating on the fishing boat.

? Let the spring fragrance rest at will, and the king and grandson can stay.

Poetry Appreciation

This poem describes the fresh, quiet, tranquil and beautiful dusk scenery of autumn in the mountains. It should be a beautiful pastoral poem of the Tang Dynasty. The Wangchuan Villa where Wang Wei lives is at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, so it is called Mountain Residence. After an autumn rain, the autumn mountains are clean and refreshing. It was almost dusk, the sun was setting and the moon was rising. The pine forest was quiet and the stream was clear. Huan Nu returned and the fishing boat followed. Such a beautiful autumn scene, elegant and interesting, can make the princes and grandsons be intoxicated and forget the worldly affairs.

This pastoral poem embodies the poet’s noble feelings and pursuit of the ideal state in the poetic and picturesque atmosphere. The two middle couplets of the poem both describe scenery, but each has its own emphasis. The chin couplet focuses on describing objects, and the fragrant things are used to clarify the ambition; the neck couplet focuses on people, and the people are harmonious and political. At the same time, the two complement each other. Spring water, green pines, green bamboos, and green lotus can be said to be the portrayal of the poet's noble sentiments, and they are also the environment for the poet's ideal state!

Specifications of the work: 68x138cm, approximately 8.2 square feet, new work by Bingshen.

? Appreciation of the opening words of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms

"Linjiang Fairy"

Ming/Yang Shen's words

The rolling waters of the Yangtze River pass eastward, The waves wipe out all the heroes. Right and wrong, success and failure turn around in vain. The green hills are still there, and the sunset turns red several times.

The white-haired fisherman and woodcutter on the Nagisa River are used to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. Happy reunion over a pot of wine. Many things in ancient and modern times are all discussed in a joke.

? The book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" puts this word at the beginning of the volume, which is the finishing touch of Mao's revision of "The Three Kingdoms". As the opening chapter of the novel, it plays an important role in outlining the main points. It can be described as majestic and lofty in artistic conception.

In the poem, the river is surging and the waves are splashing, sweeping away all the events of the past and turning them into a surging tide; right and wrong, success and failure are all gone, and history will always keep moving forward; the mountains are evergreen and the rivers are ever-flowing. Autumn moon and spring breeze; wise men show their indifferent and detached greatness while drinking and laughing. This is exactly the ideal personality pursued by the author.

This is a poem that chants history. It expresses the emotions of life by narrating the rise and fall of history. It is bold and implicit, high-pitched and profound. Judging from the whole word, the tone is generous and tragic, with endless meaning, and it is soul-stirring to read. While making us feel desolate and tragic, it also creates an atmosphere of indifference and tranquility, and reflects the lofty artistic conception and profound philosophy of life. The author explores the eternal value in the rush and precipitation of history, and searches for the profound philosophy of life between success and failure. He has a sense of the rise and fall of history and the ups and downs of life, reflecting a noble sentiment and broad-minded mind!

The three paintings of Tang Lao shown in the summary are his new masterpieces. It can be said that famous poems and beautiful words are a perfect combination. This is also a fine collection that I have recently selected from many of Mr. Tang's works.

In fact, when collecting and investing in calligraphy, we must not only consider the level of the work, but also the connotation of the work. A famous poem will add glory to the work, which is called "literary beauty", which will give the collection activity a soul. , which is also a high-grade collection. These two calligraphy works are both masterpieces by the great poets Du Fu and Wang Wei of the Tang Dynasty. While appreciating Teacher Tang's calligraphy, we can also feel the touching poems of the ancients and learn many things and philosophies of life. We learn from such things as "Hui Dang" From the top of the mountain, you can see all the small mountains at a glance", "The bright moon shines on the clear spring among the pines, and the clear spring flows up the stone", "Many things in ancient and modern times are all discussed in a joke", which have been passed down through the ages. Spiritual perception.

? ? Carry forward the quintessence of the country, beautify life, enjoy art, and benefit friends with fidelity.
