Mr Kang Yin is honest and straightforward, and dares to speak his mind. Show sincerity to friends, while younger generations and scholars are persuasive. He attached great importance to the fine tradition of China's calligraphy art, emphasized the position of "Fa" in calligraphy art, and resolutely opposed madness, strangeness and wildness. He advocates that the innovation of calligraphy must be carried out on the basis of inheriting the tradition, and after a long and arduous exploration, listen to its natural changes. At the same time, we must emancipate our minds, think independently, and dare to take the road that our predecessors have not taken before, so as to write a new level. Mr. Kang Yin once wrote a poem "On Books": "The books written by the ancients are absolutely impossible and more fascinating. Nature will shine for thousands of years, and I will realize heaven here. " This is not only a true portrayal of Mr. Wang's hard work, but also a true portrayal of his decades of academic experience. It is clearly pointed out in Lun Shu that since China's calligraphy art has its own characters, it has reached the level of "unique theory" through successive generations of inheritance and innovation, and the carving of knives and natural erosion have added luster to calligraphy. It is in this "manpower" and "Excellence" that calligraphers explore mysteries. Regarding the writing of seal script, Mr. Kang Yin thinks that with the deepening of the study of ancient Chinese characters and the continuous emergence of new achievements, we should seriously study ancient Chinese characters, understand the laws of some Chinese character structures, broaden our horizons and correct old mistakes. We shouldn't be perfunctory because of the calligraphy craze in recent years, and make a big joke by "manipulating the version". He is very much in favor of the old man's famous saying "Learn from me as if I were dead", and often warns later scholars to learn from the ancients and directly copy ancient famous posts (seal cutting means learning ancient seals directly), taking recent NPC as a reference. You should also choose your favorite inscription to match your personality, ability and hobbies-or you can deliberately choose a template that is opposite to your personality and consciously correct and supplement your own shortcomings. And knowing ancient and modern places of interest can get twice the result with half the effort. The following is a brief comment on Mr. Kang Yin's seal script work Life in the Garden of Flowers and Moon in 1986. There are two kinds of seal script: big seal script and small seal script. In a broad sense, seal script mainly refers to the seal script before the pre-Qin period, such as Oracle Bone Inscriptions, Jinwen, Shuowen and seal script, which prevailed in six countries during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. After Xiao Zhuan, the prime minister of Qin Dynasty, Li Si, based on box books, deleted the complicated and simplified, changed the difficult and took the easy, and sorted out and unified the six languages. Its main features are: first, the pen is centered and rounded, and the strokes are mostly reverse, hidden and reverse; Secondly, the strokes are all round without square folding (only horizontal, straight, solitary and round, and there is no difference between point, stroke, stroke and hook); Thirdly, the structure of the book is pictographic, and it should stop evenly up and down; Fourth, the shape is square or long. The seal script of Dazhuan has a distinctive appearance, natural structure, irregular pursuit object and sincere and powerful strokes. As a daily font, seal script has long since withdrawn from the historical stage, but it is often regarded as a kind of calligraphy for people to appreciate. Mr. Kang Yin's seal script is written in the form of big seal script, with vigorous and free pen garden, rigid and flexible, rigorous structure, natural dignified, dense and well-organized, and different postures; Decent distribution everywhere, looking forward to love. Its characteristics:
(a) the pen is centered and the front is better.
(Tang) Sun said in Book Score: "John is not empty, there must be a reason." Mr. Kang Yin studied various seal script styles in the pre-Qin period, especially praised Shang and Zhou Dynasties and inscriptions on bronze, and won the essence of inscriptions on bronze. He flexibly applied the exquisite brushwork of bronze inscriptions to his seal script. From the works we appreciate, we find that his seal script is natural, vigorous and fluent, and his strokes are generally light, gradually heavier and naturally rising, such as "hanging needles", such as "flowers", "goodness" and "longevity". In pursuit of change, sometimes the pen is pressed on the front, such as the word "person", and each painting creates an entity with a three-dimensional sense of garden, showing the momentum and strength as if it jumped out of the paper. The ancients said that "the force penetrates the back of the paper" and "the pen does not float, but is engraved into the paper", and Mr. Kang Yin was deeply impressed. From the analysis of the stroke form of his seal script, we can achieve "the same flesh and blood" or "the same fat and thin", giving people a kind of "vigorous, simple and vigorous" momentum of the eagle fighting the sky. When I started writing, I absorbed the writing methods of Sanskrit chrome and Mao. Start writing lightly and collect lightly, and naturally things will change. His vertical strokes, regardless of whether the hidden front is advancing in reverse or the slippery front is slipping out lightly, can form a sense of stability and sureness, which has various beauties: the beauty of heroism, such as the beauty of the word "human" standing upright by Gu Song, and the beauty of the word "flower" standing upright by the eagle's mouth. Some of his horizontal pens are "straight", such as "the jade ruler is measured neatly" and the two horizontal lines in the middle of the word "garden"; Some "follow the body", or the pen is high and low, and it is high and low; Some start low and close high, such as "flowers, horizontal characters." Generally, the curved pen is not light and soft, but vigorous and straight, or like a strong man bending his arm, or like a black dragon winding, such as the words "goodness" and "longevity"
(2) flying, far-reaching artistic conception.
Zhang Huainan said in "Book End": "People who are sealed, pass on their physics and use it endlessly ... don't bear anything, think rationally and think from the heart." Kang Youwei pointed out in Zhou's "Double Bow Variant": "Clock setting and word playing are between square inches. Mr. Kang Yin deserves everyone to write. He is not only "reasonable, but also impressed". His seal script works sometimes win by fairness, paying attention to structural "balance and symmetry", such as the word "flower", and the vertical strokes are basically symmetrical. The middle of the word "Garden" is divided into five closed spaces, and the top four pieces are balanced and symmetrical, showing a kind of decorative beauty. Sometimes, in order to avoid the dullness in the middle of the plane, we seek risks in balance, so that the fonts are either positive or oblique, large or small, closely linked, patchwork and vivid. For example, the first three words of the work are slightly to the right and the last three words are slightly to the left. The vertical strokes of the word "flower" and the word "person" show a kind of dance beauty of "golden rooster independence". The word "flower" is like an eagle spreading its wings, and the word "person" is like a 100-meter race, which is a dynamic beauty. The word "garden" is like a bright moon, quiet and beautiful. The word "moon" does not adopt the standard arc, which makes it square and square, giving the viewer a sense of "lack of moon" and showing the beauty of simplicity and vividness. Extending the word "shou" has a far-reaching artistic conception, which means "shou", makes the word "shou" to the left, and makes it possible to live, which is the natural expression of calligraphers' feelings. In a word, calligraphers are superb with such diverse and beautiful images, giving viewers a dazzling and beautiful scene. By analogy, calligraphy and painting are homologous. Mr. Kang Yin has a high literary accomplishment and profound attainments. His painting art became quite famous in the 1950s. His meticulous paintings and western paintings have participated in many national exhibitions and published more than 2,000 works. In Mr. Wang's own words, "it is to write from the perspective of painting, so that calligraphy has the characteristics of abstract painting." He devoted himself to the study of ancient Chinese characters for many years and found dozens of structural laws of ancient Chinese characters, which have a deep relationship with calligraphy. He published three papers on the study of ancient Chinese characters. Most of the nearly 500,000-word "On Ancient Chinese Characters" to be published is written in small font. These papers enriched calligraphy theory and improved the art of calligraphy. His "Seal Canon" was edited by 1958, with a collection of nearly 4 1 10,000 square meters of ancient seals, including 100 kinds of ancient seals. According to the arrangement of dictionary characters and the order of ancient seal cutting times, it has more than 4000 pages (the first volume is already in printing). It took 28 years, and it was really painstaking. Mr. Kang Yin's seal cutting is very accurate, and his style benefits from the ancient seal printed in Qin and Han Dynasties, which makes him brave and vigorous. His Gu Zhuo is cool and spicy, which is deeply appreciated by the world. Recently, he sorted out his seals for many years, and the first seal, Dakang Yin Gao, with the seal of 120, will be published soon. I sincerely wish Mr. Kang Yin a long and healthy life, and more and better works will be published.
