Learn and follow the rules and calligraphy to achieve good results - A record of the young calligrapher Liu Xueliang

Liu Xueliang, born in 1970, is from Yichuan, Henan Province. He studied in the calligraphy master's program at Luoyang Normal University and the Chinese Calligraphy Culture Research Institute of Capital Normal University. He is currently a member of Henan Provincial Calligraphy Association, a member of China Hard Pen Calligraphy Association, and a director of Luoyang Hard Pen Calligraphy Association. His works were exhibited in the "Ode to the Long March? Anhua Cup" National Calligraphy Works Exhibition, the 6th, 7th and 8th "Guanyinshan Cup" National Calligraphy Art Exhibition, the "Pinhantang Cup" 2nd China Hard Pen Calligraphy Open Competition, etc.; Won the gold medal in the 3rd Hanmo Jiuzhou National Photocopied Poetry, Calligraphy and Painting Competition, and the first prize in the Henan Province Primary and Secondary School Teachers and Students Calligraphy Competition.

Heluo land, the shore of Yishui, when the New Year comes, on the sixth floor of Yonghui Building, in a quiet place, the Yichuan County Calligraphers Association launches a five-person youth calligraphy exhibition. The fragrance of ink welcomes a new spring. The young calligrapher Liu Xueliang is one of the best.

After receiving a message from Xueliang on WeChat, it became a trip that just took off. Luoyang Opera House performs the dance drama "Guan Gong" for the first time. Those who are interested can come with it, and there are three people accompanying it. We have the same interests and hobbies, we teach in three schools in the same town, we love reading and writing together. The three sentences were kept close to the subject, going around and around, and finally found that they did not go around these topics.

What is the greatest joy of being a teacher?

Obtain the world’s talents and educate them.

But I found that this is really a false proposition. Those talents are either in the world or in other people's classes. But we always have to find our own happiness. Tired and happy.

Where is the happiness? Happiness is in the classroom. When the class is over, we discuss the present and the past and laugh about it for thousands of years. Create a scene so that students can immerse themselves in it and experience it deeply, so that the text can come into life and become one with the author. What you gain occasionally is beyond words, and the happiest person is to be a teacher. Xueliang said that he doesn’t know how much the students benefit from each class, but the one who benefits the most is actually himself.

Where is the happiness? Happiness lies outside the classroom. There are three or five people who share the same interests, and several people accompany the boy, chatting about heaven and earth, discussing books and teachings. The place does not distinguish between north and south, and it does not matter whether it is spring or autumn. Xueliang said, But if you are lucky enough to do this, you can also enjoy the happiness of Confucius.

Where is the happiness? Happiness is gained. At the end of the semester, although I did not work hard, I still worked hard. The children's good results were rewarded by the school and congratulated by colleagues. Xueliang said, feeling quite proud in his heart. Looking back on a semester's teaching, don't talk about methods, free-range style, large-scale Chinese, and Zhang-Cao style. How can it be limited to the classroom and a Chinese textbook?

Where is the happiness? Happiness is returning. Graduated students, by chance one day, will suddenly think of the Chinese classes they have taken in this classroom, the movies they have watched, the stories they have told, the calligraphers they have talked with, and the calligraphers they have practiced. Chinese characters, and the Chinese teacher who is least like teaching Chinese, and his excellent handwriting. Xueliang said that Chinese language should be a poetic teaching, and the way we walk should of course be a poetic dwelling, just like Zhangcao.

When you are happy, I am happy. I have been considered a maverick for so many years, and I have been living a little lonely in my own world. Who can understand me? Xueliang circled his fingers and said, like Guan Gong, there are three close friends. In response to the name of Mr. Yang Jiang's book - "The Three of Us".

This time we are a dream-chasing journey for literary and art lovers.

History is always surprisingly similar, almost like the cycle of life. I still saw the message on WeChat, and it was sent by Xueliang. It was another trip that just left. But this time he was going to Yanshi, Zhang Hai Calligraphy Art Museum, a famous calligraphy holy place in the country, where one of his classmates held a painting exhibition. There are three people traveling together, the three of us.

We come from the same remote mountain town, but three different villages. We are just calligraphy enthusiasts who doodle and chat for our own entertainment. Xueliang has been immersed in calligraphy for more than 20 years and is already a well-known young calligrapher in the local area.

What is happiness?

Do what you love best.

What is your favorite thing to do? One has to meet talented people and teach them. The breeze is bright and the moon is leisurely reading, Erye. The letter is painted in cursive script, which is Sanye. Xueliang said.

In 1995, he graduated from the Fine Arts Department of Luoyang Normal College and was assigned to return to his hometown to teach in a junior high school. Later, he also went to several primary schools.

Going around and around, I am always on the front line of education, showing off my youth, hoping to occasionally enlighten some students and benefit from it, but I can't forget it, feel complacent, and cherish it. After so many years, students may have forgotten all the knowledge they have been taught, but what they will always remember is an unexpected gain from a classroom, a heart-to-heart conversation, a careful guidance on calligraphy practice, and a life-long useful lesson in their lives. something.

From 2009 to Gu Yuan Elementary School, I suddenly had a lot of free time. This primary school is adjacent to the temple. Every morning, the bells are heard along with the sound of sutras, and the drums follow the Buddha's call in the evening, making me feel peaceful. Thinking about my own life, although I have been on the road of calligraphy, I have searched high and low, and I have found something occasionally, but it is nothing more than a small success. Just like the Hinayana Dharma, it is difficult to save oneself, so how can one save others? Only when an adult reaches oneself, one can become a person. Every day, I spread my scrolls and practice calligraphy, and inspired the teachers in a small school to learn to write. I don’t ask for how good my writing is, but I hope that if I am willing to pick up the pen, I will always improve through the influence of my ears and eyes. The students looked surprised. When the teacher came to demonstrate, they seemed to be interested in calligraphy. Being happy alone is not as good as being happy together. The happiness in life is nothing more than this.

In 2010, he became the chairman of the Caochuang Town Education Calligraphy and Painting Committee. When a person practices calligraphy, his heart is chasing after his hands, he realizes in his heart, improves himself, and benefits from education; when he leads a teacher in a school to practice calligraphy, everyone grows, and the teachers and students in a school benefit; when he leads a teacher and students in a town to practice calligraphy, word, more people will benefit.

By 2013, 8 schools in the town have become Luoyang City Calligraphy Characteristic Schools, and 2 schools have become Henan Province Calligraphy Characteristic Schools. By 2014, Gaoshan Town Fenjin Mining School was upgraded to a national-level experimental school with calligraphy characteristics. Every year, a town-wide calligraphy competition is organized for teachers and students, and more than 2,000 works are participated in and exchanged for improvement. Of course, many teachers and students participate in more advanced competitions, and all receive well-deserved rewards, including many at the national level. of exhibitions and awards. There are 2 members of the provincial calligraphy association, 8 teachers have become members of the provincial hard-tipped pen calligraphy association, and 3 teachers have become members of the national hard-tipped pen calligraphy association.

The creek is cheerful, the river is smooth, the river is thick, the river is deep and wide, the sea is broad...

When you step out of yourself, what you see is A primary school; when you walk out of a primary school, you see a town; when you walk out of a town, you see further. Observe, think, and take a long-term view. Even in the current state, you can still see tomorrow. At that time, I suddenly realized what Dacheng is, what Mahayana is, what happiness is, and what happiness is.

This is a pilgrimage for calligraphy lovers.

Good news always comes quietly at a certain moment. Xueliang has won awards, again and again, at the provincial level and at the national level. It’s rare for the three of us to get together again, and it’s rare to be both online and free on WeChat at the same time.

When you become a member of the Chinese Calligraphy Association, what will be your greatest joy?

The books are written into the years, stay together and stay safe. Xueliang replied. Don’t forget your original intention.

In the earliest days, I practiced alone behind closed doors, but later I learned to ask the people around me for advice. In 2005, he entered the First Normal University and learned calligraphy from Mr. Ouyang Zhongshi. He also studied calligraphy at the postgraduate level and studied various styles. Later, he went to Beijing and participated in a calligraphy improvement class. Under the guidance of a master, he began to dabble in the study of Zhang Cao, "Seventeen Posts", "Ji Jiu Zhang", "Ode to the Master", "Pingfu Post" and slip calligraphy. He caught up with the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Later, he studied "Yue Yi Zhang" diligently in Suo Zhengxi. In inheriting the tradition, we learn from the ancient and transform it into the ancient, learn from the ancient and always make the new, learn the changeable structure of seal script and official script, and follow the strong calligraphy style of zhangcao.

A cup of fragrant tea and a column of fragrance allow the music to spread far away and bring the mind back to ancient times. A piece of paper on the desk allows you to express freely, and a piece of paper can travel through thousands of years of history. The long river, anchored in a poetic calligraphy hut, is Jiyunxuan. Its owner's surname is Liu and his given name is Xueliang.

It is a blessing to be a good scholar because he has rules to follow.
