"I write brush characters"——Talk about the calligraphy of the writer Chen Zhongshi

Shaanxi writers I like Chen Zhongshi, Lu Yao, Jia Pingwa. Someone summed up the writing styles of the three writers in one word: Chen Zhongshi - dry, Lu Yao - neither dry nor rare, Jia Pingwa - rare. 19 years ago, Lu Yao left "Life" and "Ordinary World" that shocked my youth and died young. I used to love Jia Pingwa fanatically, but as I grow older, I prefer works, people and names. Chen Zhongshi.

Since ancient times, Chang'an literati are versatile. In recent years, Chen Zhongshi's calligraphy has become more and more popular. Recently, People's Literature Publishing House published a new edition of "White Deer Plain", and the title of the book was inscribed by Chen Zhongshi himself. As a collector who likes literati calligraphy, I pay close attention to him and have his calligraphy in my collection.

Chen Zhongshi has admitted many times that his calligraphy is only a passing calligraphy, and he has never fantasized about being a calligrapher. "What I write is brush characters, not calligraphy. Calligraphy is a published literary work, and brush characters are students' compositions arranged by the teacher. I am very clear about this!" More than ten years ago, the novel "White Deer Plain" caused a sensation at home and abroad. In the name of Mu De and Yi Shuangxin, there was an endless stream of people seeking calligraphy from Chen Zhongshi. Chen Zhongshi, who is kind and hospitable, was "forced" to study calligraphy. "My friends like my brush calligraphy, that's why they like my books first. At this level, I want to keep a piece of calligraphy written by you, that's it."

Chen Zhongshi's calligraphy is simple and vigorous, with strong muscles and bones, correct fonts and strong brushwork. The strokes are meticulous, the thickness is equal, there are no ripples, and there is no dry brush. Mr. Chen Zhongshi's handwriting looks simple and unpretentious at first glance, but when read carefully, it is simple on the outside and beautiful on the inside, soft on the outside and strong on the inside. Like the posture of the writer himself, unhurried, coming from daily life, true, authentic, honest and clear. Can fully bear the word "faithful".

In recent years, the phenomenon of literati calligraphy and painting has been quite controversial in the painting and calligraphy circles. With the rapid development of the market economy, some writers and artists "concurrently" took up the errands of calligraphers one after another. The artistic level has not increased a bit, but the price of Runge has been rising in comparison, and the elegance of literati calligraphy has changed for some people. . In this regard, Mr. Chen Zhongshi has his own unique opinion: "Many writers and artists have begun to use brushes to write. I think this is not a matter of interest or a problem of retouching fees, but a kind of inheritance of traditional culture. Holding a computer in the left hand and a writing brush in the right hand to inherit our culture, this is the most direct combination of modernity and tradition, and it is a new landscape at present. Prosperity. No matter how the works in this exhibition are written, they at least provide an opportunity for communication, appreciation and mutual appreciation.” As for his calligraphy works, he said modestly: “I am a writer who writes with a brush. , that is, the level of writing with a brush.”

A few years ago, Mr. Chen Zhongshi retired honorably from the post of chairman of Shaanxi Writers Association. Calligraphy has become a wonderful way for him to nourish his mind and body. He once summed up four sentences: "Washing the pen, adjusting the ink, relaxing the four bodies, predicting the shape of the characters, and concentrating the mind. The air is focused on the holographic movement, which is endlessly pleasing to the eye and the eye." With a calm mind, Chen Zhongshi is diligent in composing, studying books happily, being straightforward, and even a teacher of literary friends. He would resolutely reject his friend’s heavy retouching fee, saying: “It’s a joy to make friends with literature, how can we treat it as a business? Money may buy other things, but it cannot buy health, friendship and happiness.” !"
