Key words for 2018: brave, tough, polished, grateful. Don't forget the beginning, and move forward.
I want to record some beautiful mood diary in this beautiful morning, let the beauty stay forever, let life continue to enrich. 2018, walking on the road of seal carving, the more seal the more wonderful.
At the end of 2017, I attended the seal carving study organized by Prosperity Society, and I was fortunate to hear the course of Prof. Du Yanping, who is a member of Xilun Seal Society. Mr. Du Yanping's course was in-depth, wonderful and vivid, quite unique, and benefited a lot. He led his disciples to explain the history of seal carving and the different styles and systems of the Warring States seal, Qin seal, and Han seal one by one, teaching how to appreciate and read a seal correctly. After that, Mr. Du explained how to use the knife by demonstration, single stroke, double stroke, and the use of the knife at the turning point, and the in-depth explanation made us all enlightened. Even those of us who had never come into contact with seal carving from zero point instantly entered the world of seal carving and felt the infinite charm of seal carving. Mr. Du personally supervised us to hold the knife and practice, the whole second half of the class was so quiet that we could only hear the sound of time flowing, we all devoted ourselves to seal carving, printing, punching, topography, and were all very busy and happy. We shared with each other the small flutter, the small fortune and the small joy of the work coming out. Thanks to Mr. Du Yanping. We are grateful to Mr. Du Yanping and Mr. Ma Yubao, the master of Linsha. Learning is enjoyable, and sharing is happy. The road we walk together is not long. In the classroom of Linshe, there is a flow of knowledge and the joy of harvest. From time to time, there will be the sound of sand sand sand rushing knife, the students that are fully focused on the demeanor, expression and action were Mr. Li Shenkong with a SLR a frame, leaving a period of good memories.
Through the study, I started from scratch I y fell in love with seal cutting, no one.
Through the study, I learned about the history of seal carving, the development of seal carving, the techniques of seal carving, the essentials of seal carving and seal carving schools, as well as seal carving tools and materials, and how to appreciate the seal carving works. I bought a seal bed, lapis lazuli, red stone, carving knife and other tools in Linsha, especially learned how to carve a seal, carve a border and topography ......
Through the study, I learned that seal carving is the combination of calligraphy and engraving to make seals of art, which is a unique art form of Chinese characters. Seal cutting emerged in pre-Qin Dynasty, flourished in Han Dynasty, declined in Jin Dynasty, lost in Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty, revived in Ming Dynasty, and revitalized in Qing Dynasty. It has a history of more than 3700 years.
Suddenly understand, seal carving and calligraphy are compatible with each other, each other integration and promotion. And all the arts have *** nature and characteristics, are compatible *** birth. In the carving knife and stone friction moment can also go to feel a kind of penmanship, as the brush on rice paper penmanship.
It turns out that seal carving is divided into Zhuwen and Baiwen. Frankly speaking, I prefer Zhuwen. I like Zhuwen better. Because Zhuwen is more light and beautiful. The white text is relatively red and heavy and ancient. Just as there are thousands of flowers, each has its own beauty.
Through this seal carving study, y realized: "any art, need a thousand times of hammering to go deeper, are not a cluster, a day of quick success. Without the accumulation of precipitation over time is ultimately floating on the surface, in the form, and can not get the right solution and the true meaning of it. And the deeper you go, the more awe, the deeper you love, the more you feel the vastness and depth of the sea". I think of Mr. Fandeng's "Deliberate Practice" and his explanation of the law of 10,000 hours that I heard in the Fandeng Book Club. Maybe there is no such thing as a "genius" in this world, and the achievements of geniuses are basically achieved through constant and unremitting efforts and day-to-day practice. Maybe that's why "water drips through stone". I remember the famous Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto once said: "I never believe in what lazy reasons, I aspire to the freedom of hard work and efforts to achieve a broader life, that freedom is precious, valuable; I believe in the law of 10,000 hours, I do not never believe in the sky falling pancake inspiration and waiting for the achievement. Be a free and self-disciplined person, live seriously by the determination of inevitable realization". Yes, like Mr. Du said that his family has a mountain of stones, and he used to carve more than ten squares a day for many, many years. I believe that he also paid the time, self-discipline, research and polishing, only to become a master of seal carving let us worship.
In this study of seal carving, I had the honor to meet the "fairy sister". Her beauty is exquisite and delicate in her bones. Her beauty has reached a new height. And her painting and calligraphy are also beautiful to a new height. The fate and companionship of being in the same room also made us form a deep friendship. I believe more than ever that there is a magnetic field between people. Talking into the wee hours of the morning every night is proof enough of this. In fact, appreciation between people of the same sex often feels pretentious. But I like to be friends with beautiful and talented women, I also appreciate the excellent women from the heart. If beauty is born, while talent needs to be polished and practiced later. And women with such qualities are worthy of appreciation and respect. And only in this way, people appreciate each other, each other's achievements and witness each other the world will become more and more beautiful, and women will have a truly big pattern and long-term vision. Stand high, in order to see far. Only by standing tall can we see far. Only by enjoying a more beautiful scenery can we embrace a more beautiful life. At the same time, I was also fortunate to have met Team Leader Chang and Team Leader Dawei. There are also Chunzhi, Xiaoling, Dafu, the wind in the hair, sister Fulan, and other brothers and sisters whose names I can't recall. The fate of life is marvelous. I wanted to thank her for all the help she gave me in the Seal Script Group, but I didn't know where to start. Mr. Dawei, the leader of the group, was like a shy boy with few words. When Mr. Ma set up a long banquet for everyone, he silently moved a chair from another table to ours and sat down with everyone, still without saying much. In fact, there are times when words are superfluous and actions speak louder than words. He and the permanent team leader for all of us to pay all the members have witnessed ****. Always "willing to be a child cow". Grateful thanks. These warm encounters in life. Chunzhi sister quiet as a white lotus, there is not much language, but this is a quiet woman but the "belly with poetry from the Hua", but wrote the stone drums of the old pale spicy, ancient breath. Hanging on the white wall of the third floor of the Linsha, it made me worship infinitely. Goodbye to Xiaoling, still like a string of wind chimes in the summer wind, swaying with the youthful and invincible splendor, brittle and lovely. There was also the dignified and studious Sister Fulan, the multi-talented Dafu, and the fashionable and beautiful Wind in the Hair, etc. We had a great time at the classroom banquet. We talked freely at the classroom banquet and became like a family. We took photos together. I couldn't help but write a poem: "The cold wind outside the window, indoor ink fragrance, LinShe brothers and sisters, tonight we gather together", as a souvenir. There are also Xinxi, Yue and Jia from other parts of Shandong. There is also a soft like a wisp of wind of the small octopus, and peony fairy Lulu, the examination gave me a lot of help. If you give me a drop of water, I will return it with a spring of water. I thought what should I use to repay the Peony Fairy? She gave me the precious rice paper. The humorous Mu Ge, the gentle Mr. Huang, the handsome Mr. Zigang, and the elegant Mr. Zhang Shuhan worked so hard for everyone. Everyone was so beautiful, so handsome, so good, and worked so hard. Isn't this the best incentive? In fact, I just came here to learn seal carving, but I gained so many heavy and innocent friendships, and valuable spiritual strength. May I ask the Prosperity Society, why I just want the spring breeze, but you give me the whole spring?
The road we walk together is warm, thanks to all of you along the way. Thank you for taking care of me and tolerating me. Every morning at the small table, the cup of warm soybean milk and white eggs. I'd like to thank you all for your help in carrying my suitcase and heavy objects. Helping me to serve food, I have nothing to lighten up, rather than like traveling. Calligraphy examination, the creative part of the inexperienced, we helped me to collect words until the early hours of the morning. All of these things have become beautiful imprints in my life. There was also Sister Zhang from the Chinese Calligraphy Association who guided me hand in hand, giving me encouragement and strength. All this is warm and sweet.
Under the guidance of the senior master, several masters of Shandong Linsha have highlighted their talent for seal carving, their creative talents have welled up, and their works have been recognized and praised by Mr. Du.
At the end of the daytime seal carving study, Mr. Ma went out of his way to take evening classes. He gave a comprehensive explanation and guidance on the five styles of seal scripts, namely, seal script, line script, regular script and cursive script. Especially how to read posters for in-depth analysis. I am grateful to Mr. Ma. We are grateful for the warmth of the Linsha family.
In Beijing, I missed the first snowfall of this winter. I heard that goose feather snow drifted up in my hometown, fluttering, covering the village, white streets, white fields, white inside.
Beijing, is a place to pursue dreams. Being on the road is always a state of mind. Every time we go from Yasha to Linsha, the president is always all sorts of weird and brings us endless joyful time. Time moved slowly with a little song "Chengdu", while walking and singing, also put his hand into the pocket of his pants, we sat down at the door of the tavern and talked about calligraphy and life. It was as if we had become a child, a child who couldn't grow up, a child who was pursuing his dreams. The simpler it is, the more vivid it is.
On the night before we left, we celebrated the "perfect end of seal-carving training". Mr. Ma made a gesture that brought tears to everyone's eyes. As for what kind of action, the end of the teacher agreed to keep it a secret for the time being. Haha. With tears in their eyes, everyone sang the Prosperity Society's song in unison, and the military song took up chopsticks as the commander-in-chief. The atmosphere of the scene high to the climax, everyone raised their glasses and sang, singing and dancing, this is a joyful night. Finally, we all sang in unison unforgettable night, the song around the beam ......
Five days of training soon came to an end, there is a lot of reluctance in the heart. I am grateful to Mr. Du, Mr. Ma and all the students, and I am grateful for the warm encounter in this cold winter. Beijing, Songzhuang. Linsha. The place where dreams begin.
When I returned home, Mr. Wu made a warm meal for me. In the living room, my daughter hung a huge gouache painting of herself to welcome me, in which a little girl stood on a high cliff looking forward to her mother's arrival, and the wind blew her long hair and kissed her cheeks red. In the white space of the painting was written in childish penmanship, "Welcome home mother" - love you baby. Instant tears. Love is everywhere. I think we love each other y and wonderfully. We **** grow up together and witness each other. I want us all to be the girl who runs for her dreams in the sunshine. I think I have to keep inputting to better output and give my daughter the highest level of love and companionship. Love is not only giving, but also influence, subtle influence. And a kind of teaching by example. A short separation is for better companionship, higher quality companionship ......
Thanks to the seal carving gifted me inch after inch of quiet time. Let me at the end of the year in the trivial anxious, let me in the body of the flood is about to explode, let me in the countless feel lonely night, let me in the face of life have to face the helplessness of the time, so that I instantly quiet, more thinking, accept imperfect self, and can be quiet to pass the time. It is a constant reminder to me that as a practitioner of calligraphy and seal script, I must learn to polish, to be round, to be square in the round, and to be round in the square. To learn to think, to learn self-discipline, to insist on kindness, bravery and sincerity, and to learn to hold on to a pure land within. I think this is more beneficial to me than my carving out a side of a favorable work.
2018, do not forget the beginning, move forward. The more I carve, the happier I will be!
