Ink rhymes and fragrance - Li Qiujiang's calligraphic life

Walking into Li Qiujiang's calligraphy studio is like entering the temple of art
.
Looking around, the walls are covered with calligraphy works in various forms such as couplets, naves, banners, and bucket squares
.
On the special calligraphy creation table, a row of brushes of different specifications hangs, emitting a burst of ink fragrance, and in the middle is an unfinished four-foot whole calligraphy work, which is a kind of uncontrolled idyllic realm
.

In his own space, Li Qiujiang enjoyed the time of leisurely strolling, quietly relaxing in the tranquility, and leisurely and self-satisfied in the aroma of
tea.

Li Qiujiang is a native of Gaomi, Shandong, graduated from primary school and has been working as a farmer ever since
.
At that time, with the childishness of childhood, he went out of the school gate to accompany the
fields.
During this period, he learned to write hard pen characters by himself, wrote a beautiful pen character, and obtained a membership card
of The Shandong Hard Pen Calligraphers Association.
After that, he turned to brush calligraphy, love han ink, swinging the book of diseases.

Look back
.
Li Qiujiang said with great emotion: "Learning calligraphy is a long artistic journey, we must be diligent and sincere, choose one or two of our favorite posters and ancient classic inscriptions, start from the strokes, repeatedly copy, painstakingly study, absorb the strengths of famous artists such as Liu, Ou, and Yan, in order to touch the bypass, combine what they think and feel, and constantly innovate, and finally write their own works
.
" ”

Li Qiujiang's veins flow with the blood of Shandong people - heroic but careful, rough and warm
.
His calligraphy works are like his people, Qingxiu does not lose the elegance of the literati, ethereal does not lose the kindness of the people, the wielding does not lose the reality of being a person, the unrestrained does not lose the character of the subtle, and the publicity does not lose the rigor
of the matter.
He expresses the ideals in his heart with delicate brushwork and rigorous conception, and every stroke shows his kindness, sincerity and gratitude
for his works.

Over the years, Li Qiujiang has learned new things from the past, his pen has not stopped working, he has mainly practiced calligraphy, the beginning and end of his strokes, the reflection belt is pressed, all of them are decent, not exciting, little by little, calm and stable, which is rare and valuable
in today's more impetuous book world.
Wang Zongsen, vice president of the All-China Federation of Calligraphers and Painters, commented on the above works: "This calligraphy can be done, and there is a certain foundation
.
Line pen strength ("medium" word vertical pen) and hand bowl force, starting and falling pen skills can be
.
At least 10 years of skill
.
”

At the same time, Li Qiujiang is also studying "Zhou Yi", his favorite "Zhou Yi" famous quote "Tianxingjian", which means: the movement of heaven (that is, nature) is strong and strong, and correspondingly, a gentleman should also be like heaven, strive for self-improvement, be strong and strong, and never stop; The earth is thick and smooth, and the gentleman should thicken his virtues and accommodate all things
.
It can be translated as follows: a gentleman should run like a celestial body, even if he is upside down, he will not be indomitable; If you are a gentleman, the measure of receiving things should be like the earth, and there is nothing that cannot be carried
.
This famous saying is the two spiritual lifelines of traditional Chinese culture, and it is also the spiritual source and source of strength of the Chinese nation that is endless and proudly standing in the forest of the world's nations, and the meaning of Li Qiujiang's works is very good
.

Li Qiujiang believes that innovation is the life of calligraphy art and the source
of the development of calligraphy art.
Over the years, he insisted on inheriting the tradition, integrating his own calligraphic thinking and elements, not being affected by the wind of the times, not trapped by fame and fortune, and insisting on taking his own path
.
After years of practice and precipitation, his calligraphy works are full of a quiet and indifferent, free and flowing literati style, dot painting with fine brushes, compact and symmetrical knots, and rigorous
rules.
Li Qiujiang said that he will continue to work hard to carry forward the essence of traditional Chinese culture and contribute to the inheritance of Chinese calligraphy
