On the afternoon of June 2nd, 2065438+0/KLOC-0, in the spring auction of Poly Contemporary China Art Day held in beijing asia hotel, Mr. He, the great calligrapher of Jinmen and honorary president of China Laozi Painting and Calligraphy Institute, reached a new high with a 6-foot regular script "Ailian Shuo".

Poly Auction Company is one of the three most influential auction companies in China (Poly, Guardian and Hanhai). Since its establishment five years ago, Poly Auction Company has been tirelessly exploring the "boutique route" and has been widely recognized by the industry. This time, the auction level has been greatly improved again, and the works of famous contemporary masters such as Wu Guanzhong, Huang Yongyu, Fan Ceng, Jia Youfu, Wang Mingming, Jiang Hongwei, He Jiaying, He Tian Jun and Shi Hu have all been auctioned at the same time.

As early as July 26th, 20 10, Mr. He 10 meter regular script Di Zi Gui was successfully auctioned at the price of 10.9 million yuan in Sanxitang, Tianjin. Since the publication of 20 1 1 Poly Spring Auction Catalogue, He's works have attracted wide attention. On the afternoon of June 2nd, the matinee of "Contemporary China Art" was originally scheduled to be filmed in spring at 13: 30, but it had to be postponed for nearly 30 minutes due to the continuous influx of people. The 2000 square meters hall was packed, and many artists and collectors had to add seats or stand on both sides of the hall. When the auctioneer reported the beginning of No.643 work, Mr. He's six-foot regular script "Ailian Shuo" appeared on the electronic big screen on both sides of the auction platform. The starting price is 60,000 yuan. After 9 rounds of bidding, the hammer finally fell at 654.38+ 10,000 yuan. Average price per square foot is 65,438+0, 670 yuan.

He is a proud disciple of Liu Bingsen, a great calligrapher. From 1982, I followed for 24 years, and I was carefully taught by Mr. Liu and made a true biography for him. His works have been selected for four national exhibitions organized by China Book Association, including more than 30 monographs, and have been burned in forest of steles, gallery of steles or cultural resorts in 26 provinces.

He is currently honorary president of China Laozi Painting and Calligraphy Institute, vice president of China Painting and Calligraphy Institute, member of China Calligraphers Association, director of Tianjin Calligraphers Association, vice president of Tianjin Couplet Association, consultant of Macao Calligraphers Association, consultant of Japanese Calligraphy and Taoist Spring Society, president of Grand Canal Painting and Calligraphy Institute, and honorary chairman of Tianjin Wuqing Federation of Literary and Art Circles.

Distinguished professor of Tianjin Normal University, etc. In the industry, it has the reputation of "the first person in regular script in China". Ou Yangxun, a great calligrapher, called regular script "vigorous and powerful, unique in structure, with a pen in place". Elegant and exquisite structure, with charm. The great calligrapher praised He's calligraphy before his death: "There are not many people in the calligraphy world who can write so well. Moreover, truth, grass, official script and seal script can all be mastered, and it is impossible to write it like this without decades of efforts.

People in the collection industry said: In less than a year, He's 6-foot regular script Ailian Shuo was successfully auctioned for 654.38+10,000 yuan, indicating that Mr. He's works have huge appreciation space. Some connoisseurs who don't want to be named said: Mr. He lacks experience in auction, and excellent works like Mr. He are rare in China. The starting price should be set at more than 20 thousand yuan per square foot anyway. In this way, it is expected to exceed 40 thousand yuan per square foot. During the journalism career of 3 1 year, from reporter to newspaper editor-in-chief, my career sensitive moment reminded me that I must write something, otherwise I will be uneasy for a lifetime.

First place, I really dare not. Because He Houtian is not only my predecessor, but also my head and teacher. But due to the special requirements of news reports, we have to call them by their first names.

Or push the time to the spring of 1979. At that time, I had just joined the army and was a soldier in a tank division outside the Great Wall. At that time, He, the deputy section chief of the Cultural Section of the Political Department of the Division, somehow knew that a recruit named Su Qingjie could write a script (afterwards, I learned that the troops went to Henan to pick up soldiers, and he asked them to pick up one who could climb the grid). At that time, Beijing Armored Forces wanted to run a creative class. How was it organized? After less than three months, I was sent to Beijing to study.

Shortly after the creative class, He, who was supposed to be the section chief of culture, went to the publicity section as the deputy section chief because of publicity and cultural merger. To this end, many people have complained about him, and they all think that the propaganda section chief must belong to him. But he relished the deputy section chief: "If I really want to be a section chief, do I still have time to write and draw?"

It was because He Tian Jun went to the Publicity Section that I had the opportunity to work directly as a reporter in the Propaganda Section of the Division under his recommendation. The time is1September, 979.

Because of my close relationship with He Laoshi, I naturally learned a lot about this teacher. At that time, he participated in the first calligraphy exhibition of the whole army, often published poems, essays and novels in newspapers and periodicals inside and outside the army, and became a dual member of Shanxi Calligraphers Association and Shanxi Writers Association.

Now, I have been separated from my teacher He for 28 years. Looking back at my teacher He's footsteps will not only give me more enlightenment, but also give more people more enlightenment.

He, whose real name is Tandong, 1945, is from Wuqing, Tianjin. His ancestors in Tian Jun were well-known "big families". Later, although his family came down, his ancestors left many books and calligraphy and painting, which had a deep influence on him. When I was a child, the calligraphy and painting in my room changed almost every year. Especially in winter, when the children's family don't want to get up early, they will lie in bed and look at the calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall. If he watches too much, it will inevitably be affected, and then he can't help but write and draw at the bedside. Seeing that he was interested in calligraphy and painting, his father took out a copybook and a set of Mustard Garden for him to learn and teach him to write and draw. He was only five years old in Tian Jun that year. At the same time, his father also taught him to recite "Saint Amethyst", "Hundred Family Names" and "Thousand Characters". By the time he reached school age, he had memorized those ancient poems. When he was eleven or twelve, his neighbors began to let him write and draw.

When He 19 years old, the army went to Wuqing to recruit soldiers. When the retired cadres visited his home, they saw calligraphy and painting hanging everywhere in his home. When he asked his father who wrote and painted it, his father pointed to Tian Jun. When a political commissar named Lai heard about it, he went to the door in person. When he got home, he saw his words and paintings, and immediately shocked the political commissar named Lai, saying that he had found a rare talent. When he left, the political commissar surnamed Lai saw several portraits of "Marx and Engels Mao" hanging on his wall and asked his father, why is the portrait of your great man bigger than that bought by our army? Father said it was painted by Tian Jun. The political commissar thought that the portrait of the great man was well painted and very similar, so he took it to the army with He. Although the military doctors of the receiving corps reported to Lai's political commissar that he was physically unqualified, was a third-class soldier, was not qualified to be a soldier, and had "problems" in his ancestors, Lai's political commissar still did not show any sense of superiority.

He Tian Jun is lucky. Fortunately, he met a good political commissar named Lai who was not bad to him. After the training of recruits, the Beijing Military Region held a training course on artistic creation. At that time, only a dozen people were recruited, and the political commissar Lai recommended him. After the training course, he was left in the office to write and paint full-time. This is equivalent to providing him with a platform for professional practice of painting and calligraphy. In this way, he did it 17.

198 1 He moved back to Tianjin. He wanted to continue his major, but he was assigned to the propaganda department of Wuqing. He Tian Jun, who was brilliant but didn't want to be an official at all, soon became the vice minister of propaganda department, then the standing committee member, the propaganda minister and the deputy head in charge of cultural and educational work. It was an era of "moving where you need it". Whether you like it or not, as long as the organization needs it, you can't and can't refuse it. But he knows better than anyone: he can't have so much energy, painting, calligraphy and politics. It's like having your cake and eat it. But to make him give up painting and calligraphy creation completely is undoubtedly to make him give up his life.

Instead, we must seek our own government. In addition to doing government affairs wholeheartedly, why have to put down your paintings and spend the rest of your time on calligraphy? Because it takes too long to create a painting. Calligraphy can be opened in an instant. Since then, He has served as deputy minister or minister, deputy district head or vice chairman of China People's Political Consultative Conference. For 29 years, no matter how busy he was at work, he never stopped working and never stopped pursuing calligraphy.

Fortunately, in the late autumn of 1983, the famous calligrapher Liu Bingsen returned to Wuqing. Hearing the news, He Tian Jun was overjoyed and hurried to ask for advice. That night, he talked about composition and style from the posture of holding the pen, and was asked one by one at night 1 30. Mr. Wang also specially set the body for him and chose two posts for him, one is the epitaph of Diao Zun and the other is the epitaph of Cui. Since then, He not only improved his calligraphy attainments, but also forged an indissoluble bond with her husband. In the next 24 years, Mr. Chang often gives careful advice and is handed down by Mr. Chang, who is also his teacher, friend and brother.

Before entering the world of books, He started with Liu Ti. He couldn't put it down more when he had the opportunity to specialize in calligraphy creation. He posted everything he could find, Yan Zhenqing copied the most, and he also learned the "Two Kings" (Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi). Huang Lin listened to the sword, and he has been studying Huang Tingjian's handwriting for ten years. Because he couldn't buy posters in the 1970s, he copied everything he could collect in Tian Jun overnight. To this day, he still keeps these pillars several feet high. "Those who learn from me will die as if they were born". He Tian Jun, the famous saying of a sage, cannot but be remembered. But he knows better that only on the basis of deep learning can we change from form to spirit. Therefore, he attaches great importance to the statutes of calligraphy, does not seek the wonder of calligraphy, and advocates the pursuit of the beauty of calligraphy in progress. Because of this, his calligraphy works are mainly based on Yan and Liu, and adopt the essence of Europe and Zhao, and skillfully integrate the elements of Weibei, Weibei and Beijing. It not only has the charm and statutes in the previous book style, but also is not bound by the ancient law. At the same time, it breaks the rules, is dignified and rigorous, but it is just a painting of its own. Its structure is broad and majestic, its strength is vigorous and its spirit is awe-inspiring, its density is dense and its charm is vivid. Its beauty lies in "the point is like falling rocks, the painting is like Xia Yun, the hook is like a bow, the image is vertical and horizontal, and the state is low". No wonder some calligraphy critics want to call He's calligraphy "He Ti".

If Tian Jun is forced to draw a conclusion about his calligraphy, it is: follow the traditional school, constantly sublimate himself, constantly transform himself and constantly improve himself in the process of tradition. As for the extent of his own calligraphy, or whether he has formed his own style, he thinks that others should comment, and he can't decide for himself. Others think that your handwriting is capable, that is, it is capable, that is, it must be recognized by the whole society. He said: "All artists are professionals, but the people they serve are outsiders. If outsiders recognize your handwriting, it proves that your handwriting is recognized. History is the fairest. All the works of painters and calligraphers left in history have beautiful fonts. If China people spoil and deceive the world, it will definitely not spread. "

Of course, he Tian Jun is modest. In the words of contemporary master Wei Bei, "Mr. He's calligraphy is extremely profound in form and quality, and he believes in temperament. He has been in the pool for decades, from ancient times to the present, based on the regular script of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and traced back to the tablet of the Northern Dynasties. He devoted himself to the study of seal, official, line and grass, and made outstanding achievements with his own style. His calligraphy is rigorous, vigorous, solid and free and easy. His beauty includes fortitude, and Park Mao-chung is bold and unconstrained. He has the charm of Han and Wei Dynasties, the charm of Tang and Song Dynasties, and the flavor of the times, giving people a simple aesthetic feeling. " After reading He Laoshi's regular script "Tea Classic", I believe it is true by comparing Sun Lao's evaluation.

The calligraphy entrusted to He really has the unique charm of being steady but not strange, old but not withered, moist but not fat. It is also rigid and soft, when it is heavy, it is light, or virtual or real, not irritating, and blending. This leading calligrapher praised He's calligraphy before his death: "There are not many people in the calligraphy world who can write so well. Moreover, truth, grass, official script and seal script can all be mastered, and it can't be written without decades of hard work. Especially cursive, calligraphy and cursive, I really see kung fu. It seems that there are many calligraphers who attach importance to tradition. "

It is an indisputable fact that He's calligraphy is "well written" both inside and outside the circle. Otherwise, his works will not be selected for the first calligraphy exhibition of the whole army, the fourth national calligraphy exhibition held by China Calligraphy Association, CCTV will not record special programs for him, and many media will not hold calligraphy lectures for him. His calligraphy would not have been engraved in the forest of steles, stone corridors or places of interest in Shandong, Henan, Hebei, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Guangxi, Sichuan, Xinjiang, Tibet and other 265,438+0 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, and his calligraphy would not have been included in more than 30 monographs and collected by many art galleries and museums at home and abroad, and he would not have been repeatedly invited by Liu Bingsen and other calligraphers to visit Japan as a scholar. Otherwise, in August of 1999, Mr. Zhao Puchu wouldn't have made such an evaluation of He's calligraphy: "Spring blossoms, and the old man is proud of the spring breeze", and he took illness as a gift.

Throughout the history of calligraphers who can leave traces, all poems, paintings and prints are outstanding. There are so few people coming out of the closet in today's book world. In the final analysis, it is the lack of rich cultural background. He, who was born in a scholarly family, is an outstanding representative in this respect. His extensive reports not only surprised outsiders, but also often surprised colleagues in the circle. While devoting himself to practicing inkstone, he loved classical literature, poetry and songs. At the same time, he has a deep research on drama, folk art, music and art, especially ancient poetry, which has a deeper skill. There are more than 2000 ancient poems. As distinguished professor of Tianjin Normal University, he has talked with many provincial and municipal leaders about calligraphy, classical literature and ancient poetry, and is especially good at Pingshui rhyme. His lectures are broad but not miscellaneous, humorous and simple, which often makes those provincial and municipal leaders can't help applauding.

To really understand He, we should not just calm down, but savor Selected Calligraphy, Learning Essentials of He Calligraphy, Hundreds of Poems Written by He Zi, Fifty Poems Written by He Zi, Buddhist Sutra of He Amitabha, Regular Script of He Tian Jun and so on. Besides Zhao Puchu, Qi Gong, Han Meilin and Liu Bingsen, who else can you find in China's book circle?

When I saw my teacher He again, it was the early summer of 20 10. As the deputy director of China Laozi Cultural Development Public Welfare Fund Management Committee, I want to organize some famous calligraphers from all over the country to carry out a public welfare activity in Laojunshan. Unexpectedly, a phone call in the past, He Laoshi is full of answers. However, I know He, a teacher who is over 60 years old, is busier and busier now than when he was in office. As a member of China Calligraphers Association, director of Tianjin Calligraphers Association, member of Chinese Poetry Association, vice president of Tianjin Couplet Association, member of Tianjin Federation of Literary and Art Circles, vice president of Tianjin Old People's Calligraphy and Painting Association, consultant of Guilin Liangjiang Yanhuang Painting and Calligraphy Institute, consultant of Macao Calligraphers Association, consultant of Japanese Calligraphy and Taoism Spring Society, dean of Grand Canal Painting and Calligraphy Institute, honorary chairman of Tianjin wuqing district Federation of Literary and Art Circles, CPPCC, vice chairman of Tianjin wuqing district, distinguished professor of Tianjin Normal University, etc. But for public welfare activities, he can.

This is my open-minded and wise teacher He, and this is the calligraphy master He who is still "not following the autumn wind" after 28 years respectively.

(Reporter Su Qingjie reports from Tianjin) On the morning of July 26th, an auction with the theme of "Promoting Chinese Studies, Let's Work Together" was successfully held in Sanxitang Artists' Gathering Area in China, located in wuqing district, Tianjin. China famous calligrapher Mr. He's 65,438+00-meter regular script Di Zi Gui was won by Tianjin Yugang Thermal Insulation Material Co., Ltd. at a price of 65,438+009,000 yuan. After the auction, Mr. He said that all the proceeds from the auction will be used for public welfare-publishing the book A New Interpretation of Disciples' Rules and related activities. This book is edited by Mr. He, a Chinese financial writer and a member of Tianjin Writers Association, as an introductory copybook for students and beginners. Mr. Wang Chun, the head of Ruiping International Auction House Co., Ltd., also said that he would not accept auction commission and make his own contribution to promoting China culture.

He is a proud disciple of Liu Bingsen, a great calligrapher. From 1982, it has been followed for 24 years and has been carefully taught by Teacher Liu.

He is currently vice president of Chinese Calligraphy and Painting Institute, member of China Calligraphers Association, director of Tianjin Calligraphers Association, vice president of Tianjin Couplet Association, vice president of Tianjin Old People's Calligraphy and Painting Association, consultant of Macau Calligraphers Association, consultant of Japanese Calligraphy and Daoquan Society, president of Grand Canal Calligraphy and Painting Institute, honorary chairman of Tianjin wuqing district Federation of Literary and Art Circles, vice chairman of Tianjin wuqing district CPPCC, and distinguished professor of Tianjin Normal University. In the industry, it has the reputation of "the first person in regular script in China". Ou Yangxun, a great calligrapher, called regular script "vigorous and powerful, unique in structure, with a pen in place". Elegant and exquisite structure, with charm. The leading calligrapher praised He's calligraphy before his death: "There are not many people in the calligraphy world who can write so well. Moreover, truth, grass, official script and seal script can be mastered, and it can't be written without decades of hard work. " Liu Bingsen is full of praise for He: "Many of my students have become famous, but I can't help but say what is the best." First of all, he praised his couplet "The Moon is Full of Water, Yun Qi is Tianshan Mountain" and said, "This word is well written and capable!" Later, when I saw what Wang Wei's "Cheng Wei Qu" was written in the conference room, I stopped to enjoy it in front of the words and gently recited: "It's raining, the dust is flying, and the guest house is green and willow-colored; I advise you to drink more wine. It makes no sense to go to Yangguan in the west. " While reading it, he asked, "What does the person who wrote this word do? His calligraphy is impressive, his basic skills are solid, and he writes well (from the book "Leaving the Footprints of Great Men in Wuqing")! " Wang Xiuhua, general manager of Tianjin Yugang Thermal Insulation Material Co., Ltd., the successful bidder, said: Sinology is the root of China culture and the soul of the nation. "Benevolence, courtesy, wisdom and faith" is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation and a classic of Confucianism. Disciple Rules is easy to understand, rhymes smoothly, has a simple style and thorough reasoning, and has had a certain influence in the history of education in Qing Dynasty. Today, more schools and enterprises are learning the culture of disciple rules and practicing the spirit of disciple rules. Mr. He, who is over 60 years old, is a famous calligrapher in China, the vice president of the Chinese Painting and Calligraphy Institute, and a visiting professor of calligraphy and poetry in many universities. For a month, he has been able to seriously create and write disciple rules. As the insulation pipe manufacturer with the largest production scale, the most advanced equipment and the strongest production capacity in China, he has the responsibility to make some contributions to promoting Chinese studies. Although it costs 10.9 million, I can collect Mr. He's ten-meter regular script, which is worth it! It is worth more students and calligraphy lovers to learn the classic of Chinese studies "Disciples Rules" while studying!
