——Mr. Yu Zhibo, a famous calligrapher in China
The talent of young people by Poyang Lake
Charity Net News (Liu Yanhui) met Mr. Yu Zhibo. In the early snow of 2015, he sat down with Mr. Yu in the elegant room and listened to him talk about his calligraphy life in detail. Outside the window, the wind blows and the snow blows, the rain drizzles lightly, the new ink begins to open indoors, and the skirts of the clothes are dyed with fragrance. It is peaceful and peaceful.
It has long been known that Mr. Yu Zhibo is a powerful calligrapher with great influence in contemporary China. He is good at running script, clerical script and small regular script. Running script is dignified, beautiful, divine, and smooth. Cursive script is flexible and smooth. Official script is rigorous in structure and easy to stretch. In particular, the cursive list is powerful, grand, and full of charm. Moreover, in recent years, his works have won many awards in the national level painting and calligraphy exhibitions. His works and himself have been selected into more than 20 national level large-scale albums and classics, such as the Dictionary of Chinese Painters and Calligraphers (Contemporary Volume), the Classic of Chinese Painters and Calligraphers, the Classic of Chinese Painting and Calligraphy, the Collection of Chinese Art Classics, and the Contemporary Artists of China. Moreover, his calligraphy works are also widely loved by foreigners. He has been invited to exhibit in the art halls of Singapore, Malaysia, France, the United States, Canada, Australia and other countries for many times, and has been successively exhibited in Germany, France, Japan, Britain, the United States, South Korea, North Korea, Singapore, Czechoslovakia, Mauritius Experts and scholars from Pakistan and other countries, Hong Kong and Taiwan, as well as a number of cultural institutions have collected them. It is said that one of the four foot list book "Ma" was collected by Taiwan Ma Ying jeou, and many of the works were presented to foreign dignitaries and friends as gifts by the Chinese Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries and other foreign affairs departments. Now he is a member of the Central State Organ Calligrapher's Association and the People's Artists Association, a first-class calligrapher of the Poetry, Wine, Poetry, Calligraphy and Painting Academy of the Ministry of Culture, a director of the China Calligraphy and Painting Association, the vice president of the CCTV Calligraphy and Painting Academy, the vice president of the China Humanity Culture Research Institute, the vice president of Beijing Longtan Calligraphy and Painting Academy, and the executive vice president of the China Association of Elderly Calligraphers and Painters Art consultant of China Rural Art Association, Ministry of Culture.
Among contemporary Chinese calligraphers, there are many honors in one body, and the achievements are so outstanding that people suddenly admire him. I have privately speculated that Mr. Yu's calligraphy attainments can reach such a high level, and there must be famous teachers and scholars to teach him, so he can achieve such achievements.
When he heard this, he smiled blankly: Youcheng learned from his father for more than ten years, and after coming to Beijing with the army, he bought calligraphy. After decades of reading and pasting, he studied hard and practiced hard, and achieved some success. It is not self teaching, but a long-term collection and reference of ancient and modern masters' ink in practice. Then he slowly told me about his family and his youth. I was very moved by the diligent young people on the west side of Poyang Lake thousands of miles away.
Mr. Yu Zhibo was born on the west bank of Poyang Lake in Yongxiu County, Jiangxi Province in 1949. He said that his father was the most grateful person in his life, and his father was his first enlightenment teacher! When he was a child, he was strictly instructed by his father and received the enlightenment education on calligraphy, painting and music in his life. Although his family is in the countryside, his ancestors are considered to be local wealthy families and scholarly families in the countryside. My grandparents died young, and the customs of dancing and writing, practicing martial arts and playing the piano infected my young father. My father became a famous carpenter in the countryside after he became an adult. His excellent words were used in carpentry, which was amazing. He was also familiar with music, divination principles of the Book of Changes and martial arts routines, and was called a skilled craftsman by villagers. In order to inherit the legacy of our ancestors, my father carefully taught him as the eldest son, taught him by words and examples, and strictly required him to write, teach martial arts and instrumental music. Traditional culture has influenced him. Little by little, his family skills have infiltrated and infected him, making him have a very traditional farming culture, shallow literary cultivation, calligraphy, instrumental music, painting, and martial arts skills in his childhood. The traditional skills learned in childhood have benefited him all his life until today.
Looking back on the past, Mr. Yu Zhibo sighed: "It can be said that because of the cultural influence of my hometown and family and my father's words and deeds, I received the enlightenment education of traditional culture, calligraphy, instrumental music and painting imperceptibly when I was young. Although I first learned literature and ink in my childhood, I showed more understanding and spirituality in instrumental music, calligraphy and painting than my peers when I was at school. I was often invited to appear or participate in every wedding, couplet writing, playing and singing and other matters in the village. Not only is it very popular with teachers, but also people from far and near often praise it, so my father is full of pride and pride! "
He said that he clearly remembered that, because of his father's instruction, the school teacher was surprised by the random writing of brush characters in the brush and big characters class in primary school. What he was always proud of was the red circle full of affirmation from the teacher in the brush and big characters homework book. Often praised by his teacher, he was also more encouraged. He became more and more fascinated with writing brush words, and seemed to find his own interest. It was a pity that in that era, the countryside could not get the copybooks used by the current supply and demand scholars for copying, so he was clever and tried to collect beautiful fonts for copying. He copied the words written by the teacher on the blackboard, on the tombstone in the field and on the door couplets of red and white weddings in the countryside into his notebook as calligraphy stickers. He also used local materials to make his own brush with rabbit hair and dip pen with bamboo. He often used the ground and slate as paper and twigs and bamboo poles as pens to practice writing. After years of hard work, he not only wrote beautiful calligraphy, but also wrote a variety of artistic fonts that he saw very realistically, which made everyone even more amazed.
Remembering that time, Mr. Yu Zhibo was very moved. He said that his childhood was so simple. The praise and affirmation from his family, teachers and fellow villagers became his motivation to practice calligraphy diligently, which laid a solid foundation for his calligraphy career: "I really appreciate my family, my father, my teachers and fellow villagers!"
He said that when he went to middle school later, it was at a time of ten years of turmoil in China, and schools were closed. Chairman Mao's quotations, big character posters and slogans were posted everywhere. Because his words and paintings had a good foundation, he was transferred by the school and the countryside to work on the wall newspaper and slogans. This was what he was interested in, and he loved it His neat and smooth handwriting was left on the poles and in various places where he could write inscriptions!
Not only that, influenced by his father's words and deeds and his music teacher, he also knows a lot about instrumental music, such as erhu, flute, suona and harmonica. He has become the backbone of the rural literature and art propaganda team. He often plays, performs, plays and sings, and has a variety of skills, making his youth life colorful.
In retrospect, he smiled at me a little sheepishly and said frankly: "In fact, I didn't know that this was calligraphy for many years in the countryside. I just knew how to write brush characters and big characters. The concept of calligraphy came to the army later, and gradually realized that this was calligraphy and art."
Yu Bobo, a calligrapher, is enthusiastic about public welfare and has been seen at many public welfare activities at home and abroad. Not seeking fame and wealth, always keeping a low profile and being modest. The relevant departments of the Ministry of Culture gave high praise to his calligraphy and painting works, which cost tens of thousands of yuan per square foot, and issued certificates. This also has a very high position in the contemporary calligraphy world. His calligraphy works have been collected by celebrities in the business and political circles at home and abroad. His calligraphy works are displayed in many important organ auditoriums in China, and his calligraphy art level is highly respected and appreciated by peers in the industry. Speaking of this, Mr. Yu said modestly that the price does not represent the level, but depends on one's preference. The appreciation level of this work depends on the status in the hearts of collection lovers, as long as you like it!
