3. Qigong.

(19 12 ~ 2005) China modern calligrapher, calligrapher and writer. His calligraphy, with rigorous structure, clear and vigorous strokes, different styles, harmonious subject and object, beautiful and elegant, has distinct personality characteristics.

He advocated learning from the calligraphy of the ancients, and believed that stone tablets should be carved with knives. After years of weathering and erosion, it is not easy to see the original appearance. Ink can show how the ancients used pens and ink. Ink can be natural and flexible. He even thinks that when looking at the tablet, you should look at the nib through the blade.

He spent half his life learning to write instead of using a knife. He also refuted the ancient saying that "calligraphy is based on pen, and writing should be studied hard", paying special attention to writing. When you think the structure is right, the posture will naturally appear. After painstaking research, he came to the conclusion that the center of gravity of each word is not in the middle, but on the left or above.
