Who writes well, Guo Moruo or Qi Gong?

Guo Moruo is mainly a writer. He is good at writing poems and has attainments in calligraphy. Qi Gong is a calligrapher, and his main achievement is calligraphy. But if anyone writes well, it depends on personal preference. Of course, I personally prefer the latter and pay more attention to it. Let me tell you something about the characteristics of their calligraphy.

Guo Moruo is good at cursive writing, and takes "turning back to the front, turning backward into a flat one" as the key to writing eight characters, which shows the creative spirit of heavy lines and bold strokes. Guo Moruo's early knowledge of epigraphy, his later integration of epigraphy, and his later independence showed his passionate and romantic style, forming Guo-style calligraphy that was popular in China. Guo Moruo was exiled to Japan in his early years, and his calligraphy style has not yet formed, but his free and easy calligraphy with true temperament also shows the style of Jin and Tang people. When he was in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Guo Moruo returned to China and wrote for the Anti-Japanese War. His poetry creation was often combined with calligraphy, which contained profound cultural background and national spirit of self-improvement. The characteristics of his calligraphy are gradually becoming more and more popular: there have been changes in font structure, brushwork, rules and regulations, etc., and the style is both rigid and soft, or subtle and gentle, or vigorous and high-spirited, which has also become a prelude to Guo Moruo's calligraphy maturity. In the end, Guo Moruo's calligraphy became mature, his style became stronger, his creation became more vigorous, and the "Guo Style" gradually formed. Guo Moruo's calligraphy style is full of vigor and vitality, with new development in form and content, and the originality of style shows passionate romantic style, forming the "Guo Ti" calligraphy that is popular in China and becoming a model of scholar calligraphers in the 2th century.

The main achievement of Qigong lies in calligraphy, and he created his own "Qiti". Qi Gong studied a lot of inscriptions, and his calligraphy works, no matter banners, album pages or screen couplets, can show beautiful rhythm and far-reaching artistic conception, which is called "Qi Ti". The painting style is rigorous in composition, vivid in technique, bright in color and long in charm. It is especially good at mountains and rivers and bamboo stones, which is very interesting in traditional literati painting.

Most people learn calligraphy by writing "Jiugongge" or "Mi Zige", and focus on the center of the grid. Qi Gong's character, the center of gravity is not in the traditional Mi Zige's center, but in the four corners not far from the center. He adopts a division method that is more in line with the glyph structure, that is, the "five-three-five" unequal division initiated by him. This glyph has a large component of up, down, left and right, and a small component in the middle, instead of the "nine equal divisions" like "nine squares", and calculates the proportional relationship between them, which is in line with the so-called "gold" And as far as I know, there is a preview of the original calligraphy in the autumn auction in December. If you are interested, you can pay attention to it.
