His calligraphy undoubtedly left a deep impression on me. It was a style that blended "chic" and "elegant", which made me feel as if I saw the style of a literati and an artist. And this brilliant calligrapher, at the age of 90, continued to write epitaphs for others even on his deathbed.
He is Wen Zhengming, an art master who is praised as the master of poetry, calligraphy and painting in the Ming Dynasty!
After Zhao Mengfu, Wen Zhengming became a bright star in the literary world of the Ming Dynasty after the Yuan Dynasty with his unique artistic style. He absorbed the mellowness of Zhao Mengfu, the rigor of Ouyang Xun, the elegance of Erwang and the vigor of Huang Tingjian, forming a unique style of calligraphy. His calligraphy is gentle and vigorous, and it is both strictly in accordance with the law and full of vivid fun. Although his calligraphy lacks majestic momentum, it skillfully integrates the charm of Jin and Tang calligraphy, showing a different kind of beauty.
The calligraphy of Wen Zhengming is inlaid in the Spring Festival couplets, which adds some fun. It is neither too upright to appear deliberate, nor too sloppy to be illegible. Every stroke and stroke is full of rhythm and rhythm, as if telling ancient stories and legends. The beauty of this calligraphy is not only a visual enjoyment, but also a touch of the soul.
In his pen, every word seems to be given life. Through the lightness, heaviness, slowness and urgency of his brushstrokes, he vividly expresses the form and charm of each word. Whether it is calligraphy, regular script or cursive script, he is able to master it with ease, showing his outstanding artistic talent and profound cultural heritage.
When appreciating Wen Zhengming's calligraphy, we can not only feel his elegant temperament and extraordinary talent, but also appreciate the profound and unique charm of traditional Chinese culture.
