Recently, Mr. Li Guisheng, a master of Duanzhou inkstone carving, made a special trip to Guangzhou to visit the famous calligrapher Song Aiming. In Mr. Song's studio, the two masters jointly learned the similarities between Duanzhou inkstone carving and traditional calligraphy art, and exchanged the characteristics of the four famous inkstones, Duanyan inkstone, She inkstone, Taohe inkstone and Chengni inkstone, and how to distinguish the authenticity.
It is reported that Master Li Guisheng is a member of the Guangdong Provincial Precious Cultural Heritage Protection Talent Pool, and is also a famous Duanzhou inkstone carving master. The Duanzhou inkstone he made is highly sought after in the market.
At the same time, Mr. Song Aiming is also a well-known calligrapher and is quite influential in the calligraphy world, especially Mr. Song's official calligraphy can be called the contemporary "Song Li". At present, he is a visiting professor at the Academy of Arts and Design of Tsinghua University, a visiting professor at the Art Department of Heilongjiang University of Finance and Economics, and the executive vice president ......of the Macau Chinese Calligraphy and Painting Association
During the exchange, the two masters discovered striking similarities between Duanzhou inkstone carving and the traditional art of calligraphy. They believe that there are similarities in the need to pay attention to detail, the pursuit of perfection and excellence in the creative process. This similarity is not only reflected in the use of skills, but also in the cultural connotation.
Subsequently, the two masters also went deep into the four famous inkstones - Duan inkstone, She inkstone, Taohe inkstone and Chengni inkstone. They point out that each precious ink material has its own distinctive characteristics.
Finally, when discussing the perfect combination of Duanzhou inkstone art and calligraphy art, the two masters reached a consensus: we should start from improving the design level, and pay attention to strengthening the excavation and integration of cultural connotation, and "endow traditional Chinese cultural elements into design products", so as to promote the development of China's traditional cultural industry to a new height.
Overall, this meeting not only deepened the understanding of the knowledge and skills of the two masters in their respective fields, but more importantly, promoted the agglomeration effect of knowledge resources across industry boundaries through dialogue, which has positive enlightenment significance.
