Author information

He has published more than100000 words, and his works include Learning Book Fragments, Passing Pictures and Clouds, Desert Poetry Collection, Damo Calligraphy Art, Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra and so on. , and edited some supplementary books. Calligraphy together, Fazong presented two kings, next to weeds, Zhang moved to Shimen, and it was better to be a simple silk and return to the plain. Contemporary book predecessors also appreciate his pen and ink; A hundred-year-old master of Chinese studies wrote "The Art of Damo Calligraphy" by himself, and Mr. China Calligraphy Association, a famous calligrapher, happily wrote "The Art of Damo Calligraphy". Since the 1990s, he has participated in nearly 100 exhibitions of calligraphy activities at home and abroad, and organized many charitable exhibitions and donations for the poor and disaster-stricken areas. 20 13 Shandong education TV documentary "desert unification" was produced and broadcast. At the beginning of 20 14, I went to the United States for cultural exchange with the Shandong delegation. The works "One Dragon" and "A Horse" were collected as official gifts by Nixon Library and Beverly Hills. The director of Nixon Library and the director of tourism in Beverly Hills personally took over the works at the collection ceremony. Three months later, they formed a mayor's delegation to China.

Publish a work
A collection of Damo calligraphy art works, a trip of Damo calligraphy to the United States, learning books and fragments, and passing pictures through the clouds.
Artistic feature
Damo calligraphy is good at cursive script, and the stippling lines are simple and vigorous, not flattering the secular, unique and unique, neither unconventional nor grandstanding. Everything he said is true, and there must be a reason. Zhang Xu and Huai Su in ancient times, as well as Lin Sanzhi, Yu Youren, Wang Suichang and Shen Peng today, are eclectic, rich in knowledge, excellent in character and learning, and have accumulated a lot of money, and they have their own opportunities to correct their mistakes. When they are in a hurry, they become ups and downs in their writing, and they are depressed by Feng Yu. They have both the weight of traditional calligraphy and modern aesthetics. The so-called ancient times were not good, but today is different. Desert is valuable in the current impetuous book style.
Artistic feature
Discretion: There are no flowers, moons and terraces in the treasure.
Calligraphy became attached, and he studied with Xiang Xian calligraphers Rong and Ma Ershi. From the beginning, catching up with Wei and Jin Dynasties, Fazong offered two kings, waded in weeds, and moved to Shimen with Zhang. It was still good to be simple and ancient, and returned to simplicity. I didn't know to put down the law until I was thirty. Self-condition: it is best to make it have quality, no words, and no rhetoric. Since then, he has been specializing in cursive writing for more than ten years, and all the leaks of broken hair are at the end of the pen; Wind and thunder stirred from the bottom of my heart. Contemporary calligraphy predecessors such as Shen Peng and Zhong Shi also praised his pen and ink; Zhang Hai, chairman of China Calligraphy Association, wrote the Collection of Damo Calligraphy Art for him. Zou Dezhong, a famous calligrapher, wrote the inscription "Damo Calligraphy Studio" and his calligraphy works. Since the 1990s, he has participated in nearly 100 exhibitions of calligraphy activities at home and abroad, and organized many charitable exhibitions and donations for the poor and disaster-stricken areas. His works have been collected by the heads of the Central Military Commission, many memorial halls, exhibition halls and major institutions in Korea and Japan.
To analyze the connotation of Da Mo's calligraphy, we should first trace it back to his cultural structure. He dabbled in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, especially the thoughts of Laozi and Zhuangzi and the spirit of Zen had a great influence on his calligraphy. He used a pen to inject the corresponding relationship between existence and non-existence into lines-in his words, the charm of lines depends on the connotation of calligraphy spirit. What he embodies can never be clearly expressed in a form or meaning. "You can't do anything if you don't do anything", and no intention can express infinitely many meanings. Appreciating the art of calligraphy in the desert conveys to us the fusion of his spirit and culture, which is boundless and vigorous, leisurely, old and vigorous, unpretentious, unable to be interpreted one by one, and more meaningful. Look up, this is the calligraphy and spirit of the desert.
Simple and clumsy, strong and powerful, with Wei and Jin demeanor. Looking closely, it is even more charming, rough and unobtrusive, elegant and not soft, simple and smooth, with pen and ink to draw the heart, relaxed and heavy-vigorous and delicate. As far as its artistic style is concerned, although it is a mixture of "chapter" and "present" methods, it does not fall into its complicated mortar, connecting the past with the future, and makes me grow branches and leaves. It has a strong artistic personality and won the essence of calligraphy "winning with God". This is even more valuable among young calligraphers. You must see this person, this person is just like this word. Casual and sincere. Simple clothes are straightforward, knowledgeable and elegant, humble and easy-going, sincere and kind. The desert likes to make friends, make friends, learn from the ancients, and be good at poetry and songs. Only calligraphy art is its passion, and it is regarded as its lifelong pursuit. People who are not tired of material desires must have an open mind and a free and easy heart. This simplicity and persistence itself have mastered the "pure self" of calligraphy art, which is particularly valuable in today's wave of "money worship". Every mature artist will have his own personal understanding of art and mature expression of personal language, so will calligraphy. Deserts are eager to learn, familiar with ancient and modern historical thoughts and calligraphy genre theories. Bo Gu has many talents, all of which I use. It has gradually formed an artistic theoretical system based on traditional values and focusing on "mind, behavior and Tao". Adhering to the artistic essence of "painting the heart with books, expressing emotion vividly", it fully shows self and non-self in techniques and shows the artistic personality of "beauty is not limited to form".
On a cultural shirt, the works of "returning to one" in the desert book are printed, which left a deep impression on the viewer. This "unification" is not another "conversion". In ancient times, there was the name of Zhang Zhi in Han Dynasty, and Qing Shitao's theory of "one painting". Form and thought convey a philosophical thought. "To one", to one yuan, is the avenue. Taoist unity of heaven, earth and man; The Doctrine of Mean and Harmony in Confucian Ethical Ontology: The universal unity of color space transformation in Buddhism is for great beauty.
"Unity" is also the pursuit concept of Damo's calligraphy creation. His cursive script is neither fish nor fowl, and he thinks that there is childlike innocence in heaven, and that the hidden machine will follow the sky, and the salty will do evil. Starting from this ideal, great efforts have been made outside the desert characters, and the knowledge of literature and history in my mind has been filled like building blocks; The heart is wrapped in philosophy, and the law of human relations seems to have been set up a lot by propaganda. He reads posts, likes books, and knows well. He seldom plagiarizes and focuses on one or two styles. Strong understanding, knowing why, there are many famous modern calligraphers as their role models. Xu Shengweng said: "I have been studying smearing for decades, and I have made my own achievements. I have never been a teacher and I live in a family. " Sha Menghai said: "I am lazy to learn calligraphy on weekdays, and I am exposed to ten cold." So is the desert.
Seeing is believing: In one go, Long Xiang falls every day and falls to the ground.
Writing a book in the desert, hanging your elbow and lifting your wrist, grasping your fingers and holding the tube, vertical up and down, writing a long snake with a pen, dry and smooth, calm, carefree, in one go, wonderful. Look at the waterfall, the shower is pouring down, Changhong hangs like a seal script, and rivers flow into the sea. As Mr. Qi Gong said, "Writing is like chaos, writing is like a cliff." Desert respects modern cursive writers Yu Youren, Wang Suichang and Lin Sanzhi. Yu Youren once said: "Don't stop writing, don't put pen to paper, be natural, be fast, be light and be beautiful." The desert does not pretend, but makes it self-sufficient; Lin Sanzhi said, "If you eat leaves and spin silk, bees gather flowers and make honey. What about leaves? Silk also? Flower also? Honey. Chaos is one, returning to nature. " Pen and ink are thousands of years old moss, painting is long live black rattan, let go of writing, straightforward and messy, unintentional and brilliant. Whenever I hold a pen, the situation is the same as that of Master Hongyi. "The calligraphy and painting, brushwork, brushwork, structure, charm, even a tablet, a post, and a faction that most people pay attention to are eliminated and will never be tempted. Therefore, the words written by corrupt people can be regarded as a model. " Exactly: a good book must have a good eye, and common diseases are often wasted. Light ink calligraphy, light and thick, solid and clear.
The ink color change of desert books is also a major feature. Throughout, there are inscriptions and inscriptions in light ink, which are not interesting and self-adaptive. The casual improvisation of cursive script requires highly abstract rational elements, and attention should be paid to irrational catharsis when using it. The desert is familiar with Laozi and Zhuangzi's thoughts. Zhuangzi said: "Those who start from the right and don't feel uncomfortable must fill it with the right." Smooth paper, smooth ink, smooth people, smooth! Smith! In short, structure is the foundation, brushwork is the soul, cold and lofty, pay attention to "white cloth" and understand Bai Mo's defense. Some scholars have said: "Ignoring the wonderful creation of' white cloth' is a misunderstanding of calligraphy art". "Cloth white" is to improve the whole, achieve the excellent composition of the whole work, extend the style and skills inside and outside the words, and organize the beauty with dots and lines.
Appreciate Damo's calligraphy works, such as looking at pictures, feeling the flowing water of bamboo forests and flying clouds on the top of the mountain. The desert is a person with temperament. Reward him for "knowing" good structure, being clever but not deliberate, being clumsy but not hurting elegance, and being taciturn.
Zhihu Times: What is upstairs in Haicheng is really fun, and what is false cultivation in the ivory tower.
Knowledge is cultivation. The desert poem says: "It's really fun upstairs in the sea market, and it's fake to cultivate one's morality in the ivory tower." He has a kind heart and can blame himself. "He once wanted to dominate the sky because of his ambition, but he was not only incompetent, but also ashamed to be a man."
His words impressed us deeply: the charm of lines lies in infinity. People are amazed at the infinite thoughts in the desert. These ten words sum up the beauty of China's calligraphy. Yes, China's calligraphy art is actually the art of lines! This line, from the publication of the book Turo beyond the River, has continued to this day, sometimes soft and sometimes hard. But it is soft in the middle and hard in the middle, and it also contains connotation, writing the development history of Chinese civilization. With the development of history today, I believe that the desert will be able to stand at the height of the times and constantly create thoughtful calligraphy works to show people the charm of calligraphy.
The law of the development of world humanistic art tells us that any humanistic thing has periodic similarity in the long river of historical development, and so does calligraphy art. Originated in Qin and Han Dynasties, it was written in Wei and Jin Dynasties. After the heyday of the Tang Dynasty and the fine-tuning of later generations, the calligraphy art in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China has been precipitated for nearly a thousand years, which is the beginning of ZTE. The development of modern calligraphy art has ushered in a new development peak. At present, on the basis of the rapid development of social thought and material conditions, the Chinese nation is once again at a glorious beginning, and literature and art will usher in a brand-new development period.
Carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future, and may the desert ride the wind and waves and gallop thousands of miles in the tide of national rejuvenation; On the road of art, there are thick and thin, which will eventually become a vein; Leave your own strong colors in the bright long river of the development of national traditional culture!

Single element Chinese characters
China characters are hieroglyphics at the earliest, and the characters are pictorial. The process of its gradual simplification is also the process of its gradual abstraction and the process of its gradual expressionism. With this simplification, his writing gradually changed from practical to freehand brushwork. Wen Yiduo said, "Writing is not a tangible thing like painting from the beginning, so it can develop to that transcendental realm without being imprisoned." Wen Yiduo's transcendental realm is the calligrapher's reflection on the life of the universe. The so-called word is the painting of the heart. Cursive script is undoubtedly the best embodiment of this abstract writing meaning. Grass describes mood, emotion and spirit. The elegant and flying lines are the sparks that calligraphers collide with pen, ink and paper in their understanding and thinking of the universe and life. The so-called "Xing Han put pen to paper and shook the five mountains".
Desert is a man of temperament, good at cursive script. He doesn't regard writing as the ultimate pursuit of life. He has profound attainments in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and the lines in his calligraphy "Mo Yun" condense his thoughts on the life of Heaven. In recent years, Da Mo has gained a lot of experience in single-character calligraphy, which has become a major feature of his calligraphy. A single character in the desert is different from the traditional list book. Most of the books on the list are true, kind and official, paying attention to weight and strength. Most of the symbols in the desert are cursive, and he has brought the performance function of simplified Chinese characters to the extreme, which contains his ultimate thinking on life and the fate of all things in the universe. Nature is different from the so-called people who use paintings as books at present. This is a grandstanding complaint.
Desert single-character calligraphy, either ethereal, heavy or chic, allows viewers to taste life and feel the world in calligraphy aesthetics. Mo Yun expressed the unique characteristics of the desert with lines. They write books in thinking and feel in writing. Often a bald pen and half a piece of waste paper are connected together, and the book has a natural meaning. Satisfied works are often written inadvertently, and the "Yi Long", which is famous at home and abroad in the desert, was born. "Five years ago, or in a flash of inspiration, I suddenly had the impulse to create, and did not hesitate to spread out an eight-foot old paper that had been stored for decades. This is the birth of my' dragon'. " Xu believes that the source of China's artistic spirit is the emptiness, quietness and brightness of human mind. The desert often says, let go of worldly things and keep your heart. The two can be described as the same strain. The process of his writing is the process of life cultivation. His monologues are the key words of China's traditional culture. Tao, emptiness, law, Tao and nothingness are all heavy articles. In the early summer of 20 12, his mother was seriously ill with cerebral thrombosis, from which he had more thoughts and feelings about life and life. During my hometown, I accidentally wrote the words "empty" and "Tao", which is very excellent.
The monograph "Desert Calligraphy" is a work and a philosophical thought. But the desert is not divorced from the ontology of calligraphy, and there is no mystery. Its pen is completely central, and the tension of lines and the emptiness of blank space do not violate the basic laws of calligraphy. Words are born in ink, ink is born in water, and ink painting is the blood of words. The unique characters in the desert are very particular about pen and ink. The words "dragon", "longevity" and "horse" are often full of pen and ink, vigorous and radiant. The words "emptiness", "Tao" and "enlightenment" are often flowing, unconstrained and unconstrained, ethereal and light, with plain beauty, which is really interesting. The ancients said that there are four kinds of Chinese paintings, namely, the national image quality pays attention to interest, the national image quality pays attention to learning and cultivation, and the national image quality pursues gas field. Yipin advocates artistic conception, and Yipin is the best of the four. The unique calligraphy in the desert has its own beauty, which is called a product.
The first time I saw the desert, the single person was the birthday person he wrote. He was not charming, thoughtful and powerful, and his thinking about life was in vigorous but clever lines. Wu, a poet, wrote a poem entitled "The Word" Shou "written by Brother Guan Damo has a title", which deeply realized the three charms of unique calligraphy in the desert.
Taihua is magnificent, the clouds are flat, and there are old Antarctic stars on it.
I have been lying in the snow for three thousand years, and eating and drinking in summer reveals my peerless feelings.
When I helped Beidou get drunk, I even went to Kunlun to eat Yu Ying.
Whether the world knows its life, but should be the same as heaven and earth.
Empty pity Peng Zu not into the Tao, but envy pure Yang step heaven.
Andrew boiled stones and flew to Ping Zi. When will he clap Wei Shuqing's hand?
Look at the Chinese characters on my brother's wall today. There is no Inner Dan.
Natural and unrestrained can be Qi Nanhua, and innocence makes people think of Ying Ning.
The vitality gathers, the river and the sea rise, and the divine power strikes five times.
Leisure, like Peng Ling Island, makes you feel elegant and relaxed.
Sweep away everything in the world and meditate on your life.
In the book, there is a strange way to gallop through Fengbo, and the body is as evergreen as eight veins.
However, there is no need to read Huang Tingjing for nothing.
Once, I rode a crane in blowing sheng, and since then, I have flown to the ninth heaven.
Life is in harmony with heaven, and the desert "life" book is also.
