The Life Pursuit of Calligrapher and Writer Zheng Wansheng

Zheng Wansheng, a calligrapher and writer, set foot on the western development in 200 1, settled in Urumqi with his daughter and worked in Nanhu Middle School in Urumqi. He served as director for 7 years, then as principal of Jason Wu School for 8 years, and retired on 20 15 ... In my eyes, he is not only an accomplished administrator in education, but also excellent in calligraphy and writing. He is China's prose. Member of China Calligraphers Association, Academician of Chinese Painting and Calligraphy Institute, Member of China Hard Pen Calligraphers Association, Member of Heilongjiang Calligraphers Association, Member of Xinjiang Hard Pen Calligraphers Association, Executive Dean of Nanshan Academy in Xinyu, Xinjiang, Vice President of Xinjiang Bogda Painting and Calligraphy Institute. ?

? Zheng Wansheng, nicknamed Northeast Tiger, is a Xing 'an layman. Born in party member, Heilongjiang. Graduated from the postgraduate class of Northeast Normal University, a senior middle school teacher. He loves calligraphy and literary creation. After he came to work in Xinjiang from the northeast, he published millions of words of literary works in newspapers and periodicals at all levels. At present, three works have been published, such as Yin in Northern Xinjiang, Lun Cong in Tianshan Mountains and Love in the West. Besides writing, Zheng Wansheng spent most of his spare time practicing and creating calligraphy with a brush and a hard pen. Influenced by his father and uncle, he studied the calligraphy styles of Yan Zhenqing, Liu Gongquan, Ou Yangxun and Su Dongpo since childhood, and then learned the calligraphy styles of Wang Xizhi, Huai Su, Zhang Xu and Zhao Mengfu. Finally, he is good at writing "Kai", "Xing" and "Cao", and can write "Zhuan, Li, Kai, Xing and Cao". Zheng Wansheng's calligraphy, on the basis of continuous in-depth study and research on ancient calligraphy, has learned from others' strengths and formed his own unique calligraphy art. His works such as small seal script, big characters and lists are peaceful, subtle, beautiful and natural, full of ancient style; His brushwork is natural and makes the turning point clear. His extensive collection of books makes his works bold, smart, smart and beautiful, which is quite rich in the cheeky calligraphy of Wang Xizhi and Zhao Meng. Many works have won gold and silver awards in domestic and international competitions. Many works have been included in the collection of works at home and abroad, and have been awarded the titles of "Chinese artists at home and abroad" and "outstanding Chinese artists". He is not only a calligrapher and writer, but also a famous collector. ...

Aim high and fight bravely. I think he has quietly integrated his love and knowledge of literature, respect and admiration for calligraphy art and artists into his work, study and amateur creation. As a calligrapher, Zheng Wansheng has his own artistic pursuit and calligraphy ideal. He has been posting since he was a teenager. He has studied many famous inscriptions and has his own understanding and feelings about China's traditional calligraphy. In his calligraphy, there are "young talents" who are good at verve and have the wind of Shen Xiong's carelessness. His brushwork is restrained, smart and steady, elegant but awe-inspiring; The knot is lingering, and the pen is beautiful and healthy. If the wind is rolling, the beauty is vigorous. In my contact with Mr. Zheng, I can appreciate his simple views and spirit. Before coming to Xinjiang, Zheng Wansheng was the executive principal of the Teacher Training School in Tailai County, Heilongjiang Province. He has a position, a house and a car. He retired early and came to Xinjiang. He said that he has a special affection for this fertile land of Xinjiang and an inseparable love for Xinjiang's songs and dances, cultural landscapes, customs and history. As early as the 1980s, when Xinjiang recruited teachers, he actively applied for the exam. As a result, because Heilongjiang refused to let people go, he lost an opportunity ... He said that the unique landscape and unique customs of Xinjiang deeply attracted him and made his dream of literature, creation and calligraphy burn again.

Zheng Wansheng loved literature since childhood, and his works frequently appeared in local radio stations and newspapers. He was a school director and a middle school principal. Later, he obtained an undergraduate degree from the Chinese Department of a university. After graduation, he was transferred to the county seat. He has served as secretary of county government, cadre of personnel bureau, organizer of county party committee, deputy director of county party committee office, director of CPPCC office, executive president of teacher training school, and graduate student of Northeast Normal University. During his 15 years in Xinjiang, Zheng Wansheng spent his spare time traveling all over the natural scenic spots in northern, southern and western Xinjiang. Beautiful pastures, majestic mountains and rivers, turbulent rivers ... all these have caused strong shocks in his heart again and again, not only making him feel that his life is worthwhile. The relaxed working environment and magnificent nature rekindled his dream of literature and painting, which had been silent for many years. He wrote more travel notes in one year than in the past ten years, and a considerable number of calligraphy works were circulated among the people and Tibetan families. ...

Nowadays, Zheng Wansheng's good handwriting, with "atmospheric layout, beautiful lines, stretched fonts, vigorous brushwork and flying spirits", always wins the house full of lewdness, and his calligraphy works are widely circulated. He said, "Calligraphy is like a long river, flowing forward vigorously, and the road to calligraphy is endless."

? As a calligrapher and writer, Zheng Wansheng has his own understanding of calligraphy art. In his view, the nationality and uniqueness of calligraphy can not be expressed in the external form, but more importantly, it should conform to the spirit and concept of China traditional culture, that is, combining rigidity with softness, combining reality with reality, complementing yin and yang, and being harmonious and unified. Do not pursue extremes, do not engage in strong stimulation, do not impress others, and work hard on inheritance, just like a cup of green tea, the first taste is not wonderful, the better the product, the better the taste. In calligraphy, the spirit of traditional culture not only requires calligraphers to work hard at the skill level accumulated in calligraphy for thousands of years, but also requires calligraphers to have extensive knowledge. More importantly, through continuous study, edification and melting, the spirit of China traditional culture is infiltrated from the depths of thought. On the basis of profound Chinese studies, learn the connotation of various calligraphy and lay a solid foundation in literature. ...

With this foundation, we will not be driven by the interests of Jianghu calligraphy, forget the interests, pursue excitement, and break away from the foundation of China culture ... and we will not be shaken by the impact of other ideological trends. He opposes Jianghu calligraphy, and advocates the organic combination of traditional excellent culture and reality. It is the pursuit of calligraphy art in past dynasties to innovate on the basis of inheriting tradition with innovative national art. Zheng Wansheng started with the study of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy and studied all kinds of inscriptions, especially Zhao's calligraphy art. He often takes this as the main direction of research, innovates in inheritance and forms his own style. Zheng Wansheng believes that inheriting tradition is not only about inheriting traditional skills and pen and ink, but more importantly, based on the spirit of traditional culture. "Innovation" can't be just a formal innovation, but on the basis of constantly understanding the process of excavating traditional culture in modern China, it forms its own unique aesthetic view with both traditional foundation and spirit of the times, and explores a calligraphy language with both * * * and individuality by combining the practice of calligraphy and painting creation.

? Indeed, Zheng Wansheng's calligraphy pursues a realm. As an educator, he often integrates honesty in calligraphy into school management. He is also a writer and essayist. He often expresses his feelings in his prose and blends into the artistic conception of calligraphy. In his spare time, he learned more about all kinds of excellent inscriptions, paid attention to the times, life and people's livelihood at the same time, maintained social stability and national unity with practical actions, and sent calligraphy to schools, enterprises, troops and southern Xinjiang many times ... In September of 200 1 year, he went to southern Xinjiang to send calligraphy to minority students and give calligraphy lessons to students. He stayed penniless for half a month. Received high praise from Uighur students and parents ... After retirement, he was still employed as a calligraphy teacher to teach students calligraphy ... He absorbed nutrition from China's philosophy, history, literature and other art categories and constantly explored new forms of calligraphy, so his work style always seemed to change, sometimes because of the accumulation of learning, sometimes because of the inspiration of text content, sometimes because of the change of mood, and sometimes because of some inspiration. People's works give people a shock and feeling.

Since engaging in artistic creation, he has won nearly 100 awards, large and small, in various domestic competitions. Outstanding awards include:

In March, 2003, his works won the first prize in the 4th National Exhibition of Educational Achievements in Art, Calligraphy and Photography for Teenagers.

4 gold medals, including the calligraphy and painting contest;

In the same year, he was hired as an academician by China Hanmo Painting and Calligraphy Institute and China Painting and Calligraphy Research Association, a director of China Painting and Calligraphy Art Research Association, and an outstanding artist in China.

From 2009 to 20 16, his calligraphy won the 18 Gold and Silver Award in the national competition, and his deeds were repeatedly publicized by the media, and some of his calligraphy was collected by domestic museums ... On 20 17, Zheng Wansheng was invited to participate in the "Joint Exhibition of Timur and Dawamat's Poetry and Painting; In the same year, more than 30 great calligraphy works by Zheng Wansheng participated in the painting and calligraphy exhibition "Commemorating the 80th Anniversary of the National Anti-Japanese War" held in Yan 'an Revolutionary Memorial Hall. On June 20 19, Zheng Wansheng was invited to participate in the calligraphy and painting exhibition celebrating the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and many calligraphy works were collected by Yan 'an Revolutionary Memorial Hall.

? One-step calligraphy is full of charm, and the pen is full of ink.

We believe that on the land of Xinjiang, Zheng Wansheng will graze his spirituality and sublimate his art on the fertile soil of traditional calligraphy. He will carry forward the traditional art of the Chinese nation, practice the socialist core values, write more and more beautiful calligraphy works, serve the people, serve socialism ... write a more brilliant life with a pen ... The wood of calligraphy art of the son of the black land will surely radiate dazzling light in the northwest border and even a wider space. ...
