The theory of intelligent relativity

Author chenxiaojiang

Zhoushaojian, a frequent visitor to the national exhibition , He is a famous calligrapher , Many people have seen him , More people have seen his works .

As a big guy , He has a lot of labels . however , I have seen his words before 、 Its person 、 After understanding his calligraphy story , It popped out of my mind , Just one thought —— People like zhoushaojian , see little of .

Why do you say that? ？

First , Of course, because he is a rare artist .

This year, 4 End of month , Zhoushaojian was named a member of the regular script Committee of the Chinese Calligrapher Association , Besides , He has also won the literature and Art Award of Hunan Provincial Government for two consecutive years , The middle span is eight years , In terms of calligraphy, only 12 People were selected , He took it alone 2 Time .

And from 15 Years ago , Won the National Exhibition Award for the first time —— After the first prize of the national calligraphy exhibition commemorating the 400th anniversary of Fu Shan's birth , Zhou Shaojian is out of control , Won the excellent award of the 10th National Calligraphy and seal cutting exhibition in succession 、 The third Lanting Award nomination Award 、 Excellent award of the 4th National fan calligraphy exhibition 、 The 7th Lanting Award for Chinese calligraphy and other national awards . these , Of course, it is only one of his many awards , Otherwise it would not be called “ Frequent visitors to international exhibitions ” 了 .

Works are exhibited or awarded , For Calligraphers , Naturally, it is highly recognized by the industry . But for zhoushaojian , These are not the most important , Compared with , Constantly climbing the peak of calligraphy is . According to him “ My calligraphy is still on the way , Far from forming .”

You can think of him as modest , But when you understand what calligraphy means to him , You will understand that this is not humility , But decades of constant pursuit . This is another reason why I think he is very rare —— Zhou Shaojian's calligraphy road , Itself is a super inspirational story , It's hard .

1972 year , Born in a poor rural family in Taoyuan, Changde, Zhou Shaojian , When I was a child, I often had one meal a day . I'm afraid he won't think of , One day, I will become a famous calligrapher in the provincial capital . After all , The distance between them is really not small .

Say nothing of , During this period, I also experienced the loss of my father when I was young （11 At the age of , Zhou's father died of illness ） Such a sad experience —— Lose the pillar of the home , Also let the poor families , Become more difficult , The later development of Zhou Shaojian , Also had a significant impact .

The year of the high school entrance examination , Zhou Shaojian got a good score far beyond the admission line of key high schools , But his family could not support him to go to high school 、 take the university entrance examination , You can only go back and ask for the second place , Apply for free teacher training （ Changde normal school ）.

The gap between ideal and reality , Let the young Zhou Shaojian who can't beg , It's depressing . Zhou Shaojian recalled that , While waiting for the result of the high school entrance examination , I'm just like a girl in love —— Afraid of him not to come , And afraid he'd mess around . Wait until the results come out , But more unwilling .

What do I do ？ Too helpless , Zhou Shaojian had no choice but to use a pen to solve his worries —— During this period , He took out his brush , I have written all my textbooks , It's farewell , Maybe it's also a freshman , But Zhou Shaojian at that time may not have realized , But the foreshadowing has been buried .

Many years later , He told me , That should be an important incentive for him to embark on the road of calligraphy —— In many people's eyes , Climbing the peak of calligraphy is endless hardships , But zhoushaojian said “ Life is hard , But calligraphy did not bring me hardship , It brings me only happiness and comfort .” I think , This is also his later decades “ Sit still ” An important reason for .

This kind of begged but not depressed , It still continues after Zhou Shaojian went to normal school , Just a little relieved .

Enter normal school , He saw the first calligraphy book in his life —— Middle school students' calligraphy ; The normal school has a calligraphy class every day —— Yes 40 Minutes to write , But there is no teacher guidance ; In the second year , Introduction , He met Mr. Chen Guoan, a famous calligrapher in Changde , See more works of famous artists , It greatly broadened Zhou Shaojian's horizon .

here , Zhou Shaojian's talent for calligraphy , Also began to show . In the big character competition of the first term of normal school , Zhoushaojian won the first prize , And for six consecutive semesters .

I didn't ask about winning the first place in six writing competitions in a row , What it means to him , But one thing is for sure , calligraphy , Then he began to take root in his heart , Become his lifelong dream .

however , The gap between ideal and reality , Once again, he poured a basin of cold water on Zhou Shaojian .1990 After graduating from normal school in , Zhou Shaojian opened a long 13 Years of rural teacher career , Four schools , Bishop's language , And teach art . In these years , He was burdened with heavy teaching tasks （ The highest time is a week 34 lesson ）, I don't have much time and energy to study calligraphy , This became his greatest depression .

Why melancholy , Or calligraphy —— In the calligraphy competition between teachers and students held in the education system of Taoyuan County , Zhoushaojian also won many awards , This is a rare sweet comfort in the depressed years .

It is worth mentioning that , Although in normal school 、 He has won awards in the calligraphy of teachers and students in the county , But Zhou Shaojian has not received formal calligraphy guidance , Only , It's just childhood , Walking around with a neighbor who is good at writing , I've seen “ Writing a good hand will be respected ”. I met in junior high school “ The first pen in the village ”、 Because I taught my father 、 My sister and brother taught themselves again , More care for teacher Zheng , It's just more or less influenced .

until 1999 year , Zhou Shaojian meets the famous calligrapher zhangxiliang （ At that time, he was the chairman of Taoyuan calligraphic Association ）. In zhoushaojian's words ,“ Teacher Zhang is a noble person in my life , Led me to the road of calligraphy .”

Zhang Xiliang's influence on Zhou Shaojian , It is far more than tutoring in calligraphy creation 、 On site demonstration, etc , It also includes spirit 、 Value pursuit 、 The influence of artistic ideas —— 100% investment in calligraphy 、 Strict self-management, etc .

Under the wise eye and careful guidance of zhangxiliang , Works of Zhou Shaojian , Begin to walk out of Taoyuan County 、 Walk into the provincial works exhibition 、 National works exhibition . Zhou Shaojian has accumulated talent , Start on a bigger stage 、 Keep blooming , This also makes more people realize Zhou Shaojian's talent , And brought him greater opportunities .

From this point onwards , Calligraphy that once only brought joy and comfort to Zhou Shaojian , Began to change his fate .

2003 year , Zhou Shaojian goes out of work 13 The countryside in , Zhangjiang primary school transferred to the county . Still teaching , But not the same as before —— This time, , He is a full-time calligraphy teacher .

If I met zhangxiliang , Let zhoushaojian go wider and wider on the road of calligraphy , Then transfer to Zhangjiang primary school as a full-time calligraphy teacher , Let Zhou Shaojian be fully liberated —— Start having enough time and energy “ Write ”. So , The school also gave him a calligraphy room , There is also a certain amount of office funds every year —— Pen, ink, paper and inkstone 、 And the opportunity to study outside . these , It is considered precious by Zhou Shaojian

2010 year , Zhou Shaojian went to the Calligraphy Institute of the Chinese Academy of art to study , Full time off-duty study . This training trip , It has brought great impact and improvement to Zhou Shaojian's calligraphy concept and creative skills .

According to Zhou Shaojian , The Calligraphy Academy has gathered calligraphy elites from all over the country , Have calligraphy creation 、 Top teachers in teaching and other fields , Although sometimes they don't write for a few days , But that kind of harvest is incomparable —— You may suddenly not be able to write here .

This time, , Zhoushaojian “ I'm full ”, until 2014 To 2015 year , Zhou Shaojian felt that he had digested some , But more could be “ It takes a lifetime to digest ”.

2012 year , Zhoushaojian made another important decision , Under the strong encouragement of Mr. Yongkang, a senior collector , My family moved to Changsha , Change again —— Become a full-time calligrapher , Devote yourself to the study of calligraphy .

Of course, I still don't forget him “ roots ”.2013 So far this year , Zhou Shaojian served as a tutor in zhangxiliang calligraphy workshop , This led him to a bigger stage . The workshop often invites famous calligraphers from all over the country to give lectures , At the same time, it also brings together many calligraphy elites inside and outside the province , This is like... For zhoushaojian “ Fish into the sea ”.9 Years of teaching and learning grow together 、 Thinking collision , Also let Zhou Shaojian's calligraphy further , Zhoushaojian said ,“ In recent years , After absorbing nutrition in many ways , I am more and more free now ”.

In addition to serving as a tutor in the workshop , In recent years , Zhou Shaojian goes back to Taoyuan every month to give lessons , Also continued in Guangdong 、 Jiangxi and Yueyang in the province 、 changde 、 city in Hunan 、 Shaoyang 、 Yongzhou, etc , Continue to carry forward excellent traditional culture , Strive to cultivate calligraphy talents . This kind of learning has been successful 、 Remain true to our original aspiration 、 Back feeding Society , It is also the third reason why I think it is rare .

As for Zhou Shaojian's calligraphy , There are enough famous experts' comments , I won't go into details . Interested friends , Now there is a great opportunity to observe it on the spot ——7 month 2 On the afternoon of Sunday ,《 I am here today —— Zhoushaojian calligraphy exhibition 》 It will open in Changsha Art Museum , The scale and quality of this calligraphy exhibition , It's also rare , I believe it can make your eyes full .

It is worth mentioning that , This exhibition is named 、 Inscriptions, etc , It all comes from zhangxiliang's hand . Think of ten years ago , Held in the China Art Museum 《 I was gone —— Zhangxiliang calligraphy exhibition 》, Can't help but make people feel , This is probably the continuous inheritance between Chinese calligraphy art and Hunan Artists ！
