——A Brief Introduction to Mr. Li Yuandong’s Calligraphy Art
Western Chinese
Mr. Li Yuandong is one of the famous contemporary masters I have always paid attention to. There are two reasons for paying attention to him: one is the direction and pattern he represents in contemporary Weibei innovation; the other is his achievements and height in big-brand creation.
The stele was flourished since the Qing Dynasty and was vigorously promoted by Kang Youwei and others. It has flourished for more than a hundred years and has emerged in many famous masters. From Zhao Zhiqian to Sha Menghai, from Zhang Yuzhao to Li Shutong, there are diverse styles and unique styles. It has become a major calligraphy art school that is invincible to the calligraphy of calligraphy, which also shows that the stele studies do have inexhaustible artistic resources. However, since the late century, the study of epigraphy seems to be silence, with few great people and new styles coming out. In the past forty years, the calligraphy name is Revival. However, compared with the enthusiasm of calligraphy and the achievements made in seal and clerical studies, there is not much new inspiration in stele studies, and there is less creation in copying. Only Mr. Sun Boxiang can be regarded as the one who has established himself in the world. The most accomplished calligrapher of his successor is Mr. Li Yuandong.
Mr. Li Yuandong inherited his teacher and used “Shiping Gong” and “Zhang Menglong” as the basis, and used the clumsy and thick square brush as the style tone to express a melancholy charm. This is like the Wei stele masters since the Qing Dynasty, such as Zhang Yuzhao and Zhao Zhiqian.Wu Changshuo, Kang Youwei and others set aside. But Li Yuandong showed his own characteristics on the basis of his master. There are mainly three aspects:
First, Li Yuandong’s approach is not limited to “Zhang Menglong” and “Shiping Gong”. It is not difficult to see that he has also practiced many Northern Wei tombstones and calligraphy of scriptures. The diversity of learning makes his brushwork richer. Based on the square pen, it uses some elements of a round pen. Reduce the severity of the pen with the side tip and increase the harmony of the pen with the center tip, making the lines in his pen heavier and richer tension and connotation. Although this is also reflected in Sun Bolao’s writing, Li Yuandong is obviously more conscious, bolder, and more effective.

Looking from the horizontal, it looks like a ridge and a side, with different heights and heights.
I don’t know the true face of Mount Lu because I am in this mountain.
——The words come from Su Shi’s “Inscription on the West Lin Wall”, which Xi Jinping quoted in articles such as “Escape from Poverty, The Light of Eastern Fujian – A Brief Thought on Cultural Construction in Eastern Fujian”
Second, Li Yuandong’s Wei stele is unconventional, lively and lively, with no changes, showing a clear tendency to be in running script. The aesthetics of contemporary calligraphy are influenced by many aspects, showing a trend of breaking traditional barriers and integrating various styles into reference. For example, the cursive transformation of seal script and clerical scripts, etc. The Cinema in history was based on practical needs. They are all regular script. How to integrate this style of calligraphy with other styles such as cursive script is an important topic facing contemporary calligraphers. Looking at the contemporary calligraphy world, many people have made useful explorations in this regard, and Li Yuandong is one of them. It is worthy of praise that Far East can accurately grasp direction and measurement with its profound skills and keen insight. Therefore, although his Wei stele has a strong sense of cursive style, it makes people feel just right and will never lose the characteristics of Wei stele.
Third, the Weibei calligraphy in the Far East has a very distinctive personality. This fully reflects the artistic concept of Far East writing about the heart with calligraphy. Although the Far East has profound skills, his calligraphy creation does not have the twists and pretentiousness of deliberately expressing his skills, but a kind of freedom to express his mind and hands, forget about both things and oneself. Everything is like flowing clouds and flowing water, and it will naturally be natural. This is a very high state.
Mr. Xuyu proposed the concept of “Jin Kai” a few years ago. What is Jin Kai? Of course, everyone will have different understandings. But I think that using regular script to promote personality and subjective spirit should undoubtedly be the main meaning of regular script. I think Mr. Li Yuandong’s Weibei calligraphy can be said to be a style of Jin Kai!
Since the revival of calligraphy,Cursive script has achieved great achievements, with many famous masters emerging, and its styles are diverse. Especially the cursive script, known as the “crown pearl of calligraphy art”, are many outstanding famous artists. There are two examples of cursive script: one way is to take Zhang Xu as the priest, use the pen to lift and press, and open and close; one way is to take Huaisu as the teacher, and pave it purely with lines, and the center is dominant. Huaisu has many criticisms in history and theory, which is called “different and savvy”. However, Zhang Xu rarely criticized him along the way. What is a bit regrettable is that most people who write big scripts in contemporary times are the patriarch Huaisu, while fewer people who follow Zhang Xu are, because Zhang Xu is more difficult along the way. Mr. Li Yuandong’s cursive script belongs to Zhang Xu’s journey, and is composed of Sun Guoting, Huang Tingjian, and Wang Duo. Sometimes he uses some square brushes of Wei steles, so his cursive script is very rich. Looking at his works, they are full of unrestrained spirit of Dionysia, but their use of the pen to lift and press and turn are meticulous, and every stroke is in place, without any vagueness. Mr. Liu BabaylanMr. Zhengcheng said that the cursive script in the Far East was between Wang Duo and Yu Youren. This evaluation has some truth. It can be said that his cursive calligraphy is as strong as Wang Duo, and his pen is as steady and solid as Yu Ren.

Explanation:
Meeting with Eight Min (East Yue) and singing together, and the same boat as the Mo Forest.
The snow brings the firewood and the article is interesting, and the sunny farms and rain makes the arts and the paths to read.
It is hard to break the fragrance of love, but I have long been holding the reputation and dreaming.
The pen is written on the piano and the hill needs to be (law) ancient, and the love is connected to the sea and dai year by year.
Weibei and Dacao are two completely different styles of calligraphy. To combine the two, the difficulty can be imagined. But Mr. Far East advanced to the point of difficulty and successfully combined the two, and his style was very unified. Its Wei stele has obvious grass-like characteristics, lively and lively; while its large grass is made of pens that are solemn and vigorous, like painting sand in the cone, and has a strong Wei stele interest. The combination of the two is so perfect and natural, I think it is related to the character of the Far East. Truthfulness, simplicity, generousness and grandness are the two prominent characteristics of Far Eastern personality. In his works, it is expressed as a unique personality style that is both simple, thick, bold and elegant.
Mr. Li Yuandong is by no means a craftsman calligrapher who can only write (although there are many such calligraphers at present). He has a very deep traditional cultural foundation. The Far East sent me his ancient poems Komiks“I was surprised after reading it. His poems not only have lofty ideas and fresh styles, but also have very strict rhythms, and the rhythms are very standardized. What is particularly commendable is that the poems are elegant and novel in wording and sentences, and are also very appropriate and precise in terms of use of all kinds, and are considered to be superior among contemporary calligraphers. Because it is well known that people like Li Yuandong receive less traditional education, many famous calligraphers, and even calligraphy theorists who are good at academics show their fears when writing ancient poems. And Far East can achieve such accomplishments, it must be the result of hard work and self-study. I once said: Chinese characters and traditional culture are the two cornerstones of calligraphy art, and calligraphers who lack one will not be qualified calligraphers. We are delighted to see that Li Yuandong was born in the first place. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Cinema‘s life has reached a good level in both aspects. Appreciating his calligraphy and evaluating his poetry, I can’t help but admire the contemporary calligraphy world for such a high level!
Mr. Li Yuandong is not only an outstanding calligrapher, but also an excellent calligraphy organization worker. He has been in charge of the Guangdong Calligraphy Court for many years, and has initiated and organized many large-scale calligraphy activities with wide influence in the country, which has been unanimously praised by the national calligraphy community. At the same time, he has repeatedly invited contemporary famous artists to Guangdong to give lectures and preach, bringing the latest calligraphy information, academic dynamics and aesthetic concepts to Guangdong, which has benefited Guangdong authors a lot, thus promoting the cultivation of Guangdong calligraphy talents and the development of calligraphy industry. At the same time, Far East is also enthusiastic about public welfare and actively participating in and promoting calligraphy to serve the society. Using calligraphy as a medium, he has made a lot of contributions. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>CinemaGood relationships made Guangdong’s calligraphy charity exciting, thus winning the widespread respect of the society.
Liu Xizai’s “Book of Calligraphy” says: “High rhymes and deep affection, firm and grand spirit, and one cannot be written. “He also said: “The books of wise men are warm and mellow, the books of heroes are calm and determined, the books of abnormal scholars are successful, and the books of talented men are beautiful. “The book in the Far East is both a talented man and a beautiful and beautiful person, and is only a masterpiece of high rhyme, deep affection, strong and noble character. With its unique personality, it stands well in the contemporary book forest!
