Sun Boxiang is the winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Contemporary Calligraphy Pavilion Award, specializing in the research and creation of Weibei calligraphy, and his Weibei calligraphy style is unique, and he is known as the master of Weibei. His Wei stele works, which integrate the brushwork of calligraphy, break the vigor and vigor of Wei stele calligraphy for a long time, and form the smart and elegant style of Sun's Wei stele, which has been loved by many calligraphy lovers.
It is precisely that he fused the pen intention of the line of calligraphy on the Wei tablet, and obtained the agility of calligraphy, but it attracted the ambiguity of many Wei tablet calligraphy lovers, some people believe that when the ancients wrote the Wei tablet, it was written in accordance with the style of the Wei tablet, but when it came to Sun Boxiang, it seemed to be like a line of calligraphy, and like a regular script, these two types of calligraphy were fused together, and they were not related. Some people also say that he wrote Xingshu and Wei tablet together, which seems to be elegant, but it also lacks the naturalness of calligraphy. But some people think that I like Mr. Sun Boxiang's style very much, and he has activated the new writing style of Wei Bei, which looks very comfortable.
Wei stele is a kind of stone carving works in the Northern Wei Dynasty, mostly seen in epitaphs, steles, most of them are carved after Shudan, and some are carved by cutters directly on the stone, there are official and folk works, which makes many Wei stele works have the characteristics of "one stone and one style". Whether it is a folk or official inscription works, but they all belong to the regular script system of works, some people say that the Wei tablet is a transitional book style in the evolution period from official script to regular script, in fact, this statement also has a certain truth.
It is a kind of book style between regular script and cursive script, which is evolved from regular script, which is characterized by elegant and chic, natural and smooth, both practical and artistic. Xingshu is very popular with people in contemporary times, especially because it is very practical, and in terms of artistry, many calligraphers specialize in studying Xingshu and have also achieved good results. Its handwriting and practicality are also favored and sought after by many calligraphy enthusiasts, and it has a strong learner.
Although Wei Beibei belongs to the regular script system, with the characteristics and rules of regular script writing, and the line script writing is simple and fast, both practical and artistic, it stands to reason that the two belong to two completely different calligraphy systems, and it is very difficult to integrate them together. In contemporary times, calligraphers advocate calligraphy innovation, on the one hand, because of the need for calligraphy artistry, and on the other hand, it also reflects the innovation ability of a calligrapher. As a famous Sun Boxiang, his innovation is a strong representative, but also a witness of his personal ability, therefore, he chose to integrate and innovate in regular script and line calligraphy, and achieved his own calligraphy achievements, which has also been recognized by people.
In fact, as far as Xingshu is concerned, it can be divided into Xingkai and Xingcao, and in this regard, the ancients have already set an example for future generations. Line Kai, is biased towards regular script, and there is a way of writing the pen of the line, which is both regular script and line book. However, Sun Boxiang did not choose the fusion of Tang Kai and Xingshu, but the integration of Xingshu and Wei Bei and Xingshu, which can be said to be an innovation, because Wei Bei's penmanship and Tang Kai's penmanship are very different, Wei Bei has more square pens, and it is indeed difficult to integrate Xingshu, but Sun Boxiang's fusion feels very natural.
However, although his method of fusion seems to work theoretically, the fusion of glyphs and brushwork has not been recognized by many calligraphy enthusiasts, and some people think that the fusion of the two is far-fetched and lacks a natural feeling. But in any case, in the integration system of Wei stele and Xingshu, Sun Boxiang should be the first person to integrate Xingshu and Wei stele, which is completely different from the fusion of the best calligrapher Yu Youren. What do you think?
