Episode 165 Love for Tingjiang

Freehand pen and ink

Tingjiang ink stone carries the charm of thousands of years of literati pen and ink, let us have the honor to find her long-lost face in the Hakka mother river Tingjiang, the blend of ink and ink and the blank space to show the pen and ink heart, let us dream back to the Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties in the poetic mist, a glimpse of the Chinese literati ink painting on the landscape, figures, flowers and birds of the past, and once again practice the spiritual contract and dialogue with the sages and masters.

The charm of the brush and ink created by the Tingjiang ink stone on the theme of landscape reflects the wet characteristics of the landscape: it creates a flat, lofty and far-reaching composition on the stone surface.

"Get out of the way, occupy the two compartments" is a way of composition from near and far: between the two mountain passes, a small road winds towards the valley, through the valley and disappears in the distance, if there are characters in the middle, the empty valley foot, into and out of the mountain, Shi and hidden, the Zen of entering and coming out of the world is generated between the mountain and the people, the mountain is no longer a mountain in the real sense, it is the spiritual sustenance that penetrates into the inner world of people.

"One body and two wings" is a compositional method from high to far-reaching: the middle peak is abrupt, and then the gentle transition from the hills on both sides to the distance on both sides.

The lines of the wheel corridor are interspersed according to the "pattern locks", if there are flowing springs and waterfalls between the peaks and mountains, the concept of Renshan Zhishui is implied in it, and the woods on the top of the mountain in the clouds are generated with the size of the "rice dots" and "mixed points", and the colorful ink of green, indigo, blue, black and ink shows the distant obstacles of the reckless and graceful.

The layers of the mountain are clearly defined by clever colors.

The characteristics of the landscape in the ink stone of the Tingjiang River allow us to see the brushwork and shadow of the "Four Yuan Families" in the heyday of landscape painting.

In terms of the technique of applying the lines of the figures, Tingjiang ink stone is mainly based on both large and small freehand.

"Away, draped, pointed, and stroked when you see the lack of time, if the pen is only one or two, the image has been answered."

Thick ink and thick brushstrokes with large freehand meaning: the characters are innocent and clumsy, the face is blank, the myopia is reactive, and the farsightedness generates images; The wide sleeves of the pine robe are mostly seen in Zen characters, walking, standing, lying, kneeling, sitting between the Zen machine of gradual enlightenment and epiphany, if you smile clearly and transparently, you can highlight the inner world of the characters with a smooth shape.

The freehand is formed with a fine, smooth and dynamic "wrestle".

Character image: cloud sideburns hanging hair, Eguan Bo belt, clear bones and beautiful body, clothes flying, clothing patterns and body movements together, reflecting the Central Plains clothing culture and the Southern Dynasty celebrity culture, maids and Taoist characters are the majority.

The pen and ink taste of Tingjiang ink stone on flowers and birds is mainly small, and there are ink halos of different sizes on the stone surface, the big ones are flowers, and the small ones are buds; The points, dragging, chopping, and whisking on the calligraphy gestures constitute the branches and leaves, and the intermittent cloth of the extremely similar Wei tablet calligraphy is sparsely distributed. The branches and leaves are filled with moss dots, and the petals seem to have a moist ink color, and these free dots can also form new images independently.

The flowers, grasses, fish and insects, and birds among the flowers on the stone surface are written in a hurry: the flowers are still there in spring, and the birds are not surprised. "The brushwork is cold and simple, giving personification and symbolic spiritual transmission.

Birds and beasts are forever fixed in the pulse of the heart.

Book by day

The ink rhyme of Tingjiang ink stone not only has such rich expression and tension in the painting, but also the condensation in the brushwork is not inferior.

The white characters are like the black and white rubbings engraved on the stele, the black characters are like the famous Mobao, the black and white fonts are in the middle of the grass, the front and the side are blended, and the stiffness and softness are combined.

Black letters: enamel, water-flowing enamel paste.

The font is round and full, the silkworm head starts with the pen, the pen moves in the center, and the swallow cut ends, showing the feminine ink rhyme of hiding the head and tail;

White characters: silica-calcareous, joint-wrapped.

The font is rough and ribbed, Jin Ge axe, thunder and lightning, open the stele and crack the stone, showing the masculine ink rhyme of Wei Bei's vigorous and robust;

These precious Tingjiang ink stone characters are undoubtedly the inscriptions of ink paintings.

It is the "divine body" calligraphy that has been passed down from Chinese characters to the present day.

Natural ink

The road is paper, the ground is a book, the line is a pen, and the heart is ink.

This Chen Wenlong is really powerful, taking into account all aspects of the characteristics of the Tingjiang picture stone, if you don't have a certain calligraphy and painting foundation, it is still a little difficult to read the whole story.

However, perhaps Mr. Chen has already considered this, so he tries to explain each feature in detail and strive to make it understandable.

The following is to talk about how he likes to love stones, these listed stones, should be his treasures.

Occasionally, I get the best ink and stone products, I feel happy and unbearable, the night is quiet, I taste the tea and the stone alone, between the eyebrows, and the ancient and modern: look at the ingenuity of "Cao Chong Called the Elephant", watch the wonder of "Tang Flower Dance", surprise the courage of "Wu Song Fights the Tiger", the nobility of the sad "Daiyu Burial Flower", sigh the shortness of breath of "Hero Lu Bu", look at the tranquility of "Bright Moon in the Pine", read the tears of "Mother's Yin", travel to "Dongpo Red Cliff" Fuhua Chapter, talk about the infatuation of "A Chinese Ghost Story", listen to the emptiness of "Boya Fuqin", taste the fragrance of "Lu Yu Boiled Tea", and smell "Deep Valley Orchid" The fragrance, knowing the "Juvenile Leap Land", the subtlety of "Guigu Zhenren", the Bodhi of "Bodhi" of "Dharma Zen", the good day of "Seven Stars with the Moon", the elegance of "Lanting Liuzhen", the long-distance of "Mountains and Flowing Water", the lightness of "Dunhuang Music and Dance", the funny of laughing at "Bajie Daughter-in-law", the wild Yi of "Spring Creek Fish", the filial piety of "Dong Yongbaihuai", the feelings of visiting "Du Fu's Thatched Cottage", and the wild fun of "Wild Crossing the Boat" - up and down for 5,000 years, myths and legends, and character allusions; Scales, scales, hairs, feathers, kun, mountains and rivers are clear, and all kinds of flavors are mixed.

A spiritual Tingjiang ink stone is a condensation of a landscape, a life experience, a cross-cutting history, it shows the majesty of the mountain, the ethereal of the water, the change of the clouds, the beauty of the wind, and conveys the eternal information of the passage of time; It is a humanistic feeling that cherishes nature.

This kind of silica-calcium jade water stone without any artificial processing, its indisputable water stroke and thick pulp provide a real and reliable picture support for the black and white charm of Chinese literati ink painting: if the Yangtze River Danqing stone is a simple and beautiful lady, then the Tingjiang ink stone is a gentle and elegant Confucian.

It seems that Mr. Chen is also obsessed with love for stones, and his love for Tingjiang stone has risen to a literati feeling.

The government strongly advocates the establishment of a street of strange stone calligraphy and painting centered on Wazi Street, to promote the industry with culture, and to prosper the market with the economy.

There is reason to believe that Tingjiang ink stone can reach such a height: it has become the first choice of collectors at home and abroad, and it has become the bright moon in the heart of the desk.

It turns out that Wazi Street is going to be newly developed, Kowloon is the first time I heard about it, this is a good thing, as for whether the Tingjiang pattern stone can become the first choice of collectors, this is a good wish, the Tingjiang pattern stone does have this potential, but if the internal fight for the name, how to promote it?
