Calligrapher Huang Zhong's 24 solar terms.
Text |Xiao Feng.
Huang Zhong's calligraphy, the lines are elastic and tense, showing handsomeness and aura, and conveying the meaning of vast and ancient clumsiness in the unpredictable, ethereal and elegant. Sometimes the pen is unrestrained, sometimes dignified, sometimes soothing, sometimes deep. It seems to be careless, vertical and horizontal, but in fact, it is confident, showing its subtlety and open-mindedness in the naïve romance, showing the rare simplicity and majesty of contemporary calligraphy, graceful and heavy pen and ink taste. Ancient teachers and innovation complement each other; Flesh and blood are interdependent. Its personality is distinctive, flowing water, bold and magnificent, and the pen and ink are old and spicy, all revealing the profound cultural heritage and the simple feelings of Shandong people.
Life is like the four seasons, spring is born, summer is long, autumn is harvested, and winter is hidden. Teenagers are busy reading and studying, and young and middle-aged people are busy with their families and careers. When you retire, don't be confused, have more free time, you can regain your hobbies, live a quality and pursuit of old age, have a positive driving force for the society, and drive the better development of social culture.
Calligrapher Huang Zhong is 75 years old this year, and he still works every day. Feeling the 24 solar terms, the most brilliant pearl in the history of Chinese farming civilization, I selected 24 ancient poems with seven quatrains (corresponding to the 24 solar terms), together with Beichen, crape myrtle, Big Dipper, and 24 solar terms, and wrote them together to show everyone.
China has a history of 2 million years of human history, 10,000 years of cultural history, and 5,000 years of civilization. It is hoped that through the display of calligraphy, more Chinese people can learn more about the excellent traditional culture and enhance the cultural confidence of Chinese. Let us brave the wind and rain and forge ahead. ■
