192 1 year, Chen Yulong was born in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, which is known as the "gateway to Jinling", and was influenced by the culture and history of the ancient city since childhood. At the age of five, he entered a private school to receive enlightenment education, learning from Fayan and Liu. For eight years, he wrote a book in block letters and a book in block letters every day, and the pool was endless. After leaving private school, Chen Yulong entered a private primary school and then entered the famous Yangzhou Middle School in Jiangsu Province. Unfortunately, shortly after he entered junior high school, the Japanese invasion shattered his learning dream. Chen Yulong left his hometown and went to southwest Sichuan and Yunnan. During his exile, he worked as an apprentice, trainee and employee, carving wax boards for people and preparing for hardship. However, "life is also difficult, and life is also lucky." In the mountain city of Chongqing, Chen Yulong met Mr. Xu Xueyuan, a veteran of Wuchang Uprising, a famous educator and calligrapher during the Republic of China, and joined the school as a teacher. During the conversation, Chen Yulong mentioned his teacher Xu Xueyuan many times. He said that his days in Chongqing had the greatest influence on his life and learning calligraphy. His understanding of implicit calligraphy and his thought of "cultivating morality by learning" were deeply influenced by Xu Xueyuan. Later, Chen Yulong moved to Peking University, where he worked with the old headmaster in Ma Yinchu for several years. Wind and rain made him spread virtue and fragrance, and his knowledge and calligraphy were influenced and edified by him. During his decades in Peking University, Chen Yulong has made great achievements in history, literature and calligraphy. He is a scholar, essayist and artist, which are not comparable to ordinary people. As a great master, the infiltration and extraordinary experience of 50 years' university teaching also add a lot of color to Chen Yulong's unique book style.
1979 Spring, "Yanyuan Painting and Calligraphy Society" came into being at the initiative of Zhao, Li Zhimin and Professor, with the support of the vice president. After the death of the pioneer President Li Zhimin, Professor Luo Rongqu temporarily acted as the principal. After the death of Professor Li and Professor Luo, "Yanyuan Painting and Calligraphy Society" was reorganized as "Peking University Painting and Calligraphy Society" on June 27th, 1996, which belongs to the Art Education Committee. It's a fine day today. It's sunny after the rain, sweeping away the gloom and gloom of the past few years. New and old members gathered together and praised this grand event as a "revival meeting" for Yanyuan's calligraphy and painting career. Looking forward to the future, the prospects are broad and infinitely wonderful. Chen Yulong, a 75-year-old man, was elected president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association.
During the period of 1985, Li Zhimin and Chen Yulong led a delegation of calligraphers from Peking University to visit Japan, visit Osaka Xiangfeng Academy, and meet with Ms. Dongpa wellhead. Chen Yulong, a senior calligrapher, wrote The Soul of the Book Hurriedly Returning to the Mountain-Reading Li Zhimin and Mourning the People, which was published in the 6th issue of Literature and History Magazine in the same year. Chen Yulong also wrote "Spring in the Yanyuan Garden is strong, and you are helpless and pitiful alone", recalling two experiences of traveling together, one was 1985 and Li Zhimin and others, for a period of double ten days; The first trip was to Xinjiang with Li Zhimin and Liu Bingsen in the autumn of 1993, which lasted for half a month. These two return dates are August 3 1. On the way home, Chen Yulong and Li Zhimin met: "I hope to make a third strong patrol in my lifetime, either going north or going south." Li Zhimin went to Beidaihe for a holiday, picked up a stone and brought it back to Chen Yulong with a note: "We bought wine and Bai Yunbian in the moonlight in Dongting. This stone is a landscape painting with the moon and water. Please don't carve it. " Mr. Chen is very happy. He first put the stone in the frame of the living room, and then gave it to Mr. Zhou, a world-famous collector of strange stones and director of the Thailand Museum of Strange Stones, for permanent display. In addition, Chen Yulong also spoke highly of Li Zhimin's heavy brush-and-ink calligraphy art in Journal of Peking University (Philosophy and Social Sciences Edition) No.4 1997 "Historical Review and Prospect of Peking University's Calligraphy and Painting Activities" and Guangming Daily 1998 on May 3.
Literary works
Chen Yulong wrote an article entitled "Wonderful Sacred-Praise of Calligraphy Art in China", which has been circulated in the calligraphy circle. The article says that the study of calligraphy must be improved to the aesthetic level; The study of aesthetics must rise to the height of philosophy and be cultivated with strong knowledge.
"Cultivating morality by learning" is a precious wealth left by Mr. Xu Xueyuan, Chen Yulong's mentor at that time, and it is also a belief he has firmly believed and adhered to for decades. At the beginning of learning calligraphy, you may pay more attention to skills. To master the basic language of an art, learning skills are the prerequisite. But after a little in-depth, cultivation rose to the first place. A person can't be by going up one flight of stairs in calligraphy without considerable cultural accomplishment. Without moral cultivation, no matter how high the art is, he will be spurned.
As far as cultural accomplishment and moral accomplishment are concerned, Chen Yulong himself is undoubtedly a model of calligraphy. Chen Yulong is a scholar, focusing on history, literature and calligraphy. In historiography, Chen Yulong has been engaged in the study of Indian zhina for half a century, edited several influential monographs, and made remarkable achievements in the history and culture of Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, as well as the history of Sino-Vietnamese, Sino-Cambodian and Sino-Lao relations. He is a famous expert on Indian zhina history in China. In literature, Chen Yulong showed his talent as early as when he was a student. His articles are fresh and beautiful, giving people beautiful enjoyment. The collection of essays "Heaven and Earth are Righteous" was selected as the first collection of "Unknown Literature Collection" of Peking University Centennial Celebration. It is also his preference for history and literature that has laid a profound cultural accomplishment for Chen Yulong. Every word in his pen is integrated with the traditional accumulation and profound understanding of history and art.
Chen Yulong's Calligraphy Works
Calligraphy comprehension
Chen Yulong said that a calligrapher should not only write well, but also pay attention to calligraphy theory. We should combine the art of calligraphy with calligraphy theory, and walk on two legs to complement each other. China's ancient painting theory includes Sheikh's "Six Theories", which concisely expounds the aesthetic characteristics of Chinese painting. In the process of learning calligraphy, Chen Yulong put forward the famous "five senses" of calligraphy, namely, three-dimensional sense, rhythm sense, hazy sense, space sense and times sense.
Chen Yulong believes that the "three-dimensional sense" emphasizes that calligraphy should pursue the sense of dignity of structural modeling, which is vigorous, vigorous, magnificent and full of flesh and blood, and is the backbone of calligraphy art; The "sense of rhythm" focuses on the momentum of the pen, and it is necessary to combine rigidity and softness with movement to make the calligraphy image dignified, refreshing and fascinating; The "hazy feeling" focuses on artistic conception and verve, and it should be profound, distant, subtle and subtle, with a hidden spirit at the bottom of the pen and full of vitality; The "sense of space" focuses on the layout of calligraphy, which should be broad and ethereal, with white as black, black and white complementary, and the trend of Guang Chuan as square silk; The "sense of the times" emphasizes seeking change and innovation, and should be based on tradition rather than being conquered by the ancients, and learn from others.
achievements of art
At the opening ceremony of the calligraphy exhibition of Chen Yulong's eightieth birthday, Zhang Tongyin, a famous calligraphy theorist, said that Chen Lao's calligraphy really reached the state of "old and vigorous, and people and books are old".
People and books are ancient and full of lofty sentiments, and every word he writes shows Chen Yulong's skill and profound knowledge for many years. Ma Zhonghua, who once interviewed Chen Yulong, said that Chen Yulong's works seemed careless at first glance, and when he carefully appreciated them, he began to feel boundless and vigorous.
He wrote the words "Han Yi Shen Fei". The word "John" fluctuates around, and the original words are very dynamic; The word "one" leaves space at the bottom and upper side of the word, which is dense and orderly; "God" put pen to paper, stood tall and vigorous, and propped up the whole word; The word "fly" is connected with the reality, which seems to be broken. The backhand treatment at the pen receiving place is more powerful and verve, like an eagle spreading its wings. These four words were later presented as gifts to South Korean President Kim Dae-jung. "
Calligraphy was presented as a gift to South Korean President Kim Dae-jung.
