"National Calligraphy and Seal Engraving Works Exhibition" held every four years

Due to the high standards, the selection of works is strict

Known as the "Olympics" of Chinese calligraphy circles

1,074 works were admitted to the exhibition, with an admission rate of only 1.90%


Interview site of the 12th National Calligraphy and Seal Engraving Works Exhibition

Only 251 works were shortlisted in the regular script group

It can be said that it is quite difficult to enter regular script into the exhibition.
And Tang Kai in regular script
The Ou Kai script among Tang Kai scripts is even rarer.


Anyone who studies calligraphy knows that it is difficult to write in "European style"
The difficulty lies in not being able to describe the ruggedness of European style
and the unique temple atmosphere
Therefore, in previous national exhibitions, there are very few works that use European style to enter national exhibitions.
Some people even say that the judges are deliberately making things difficult for "European Sports"

Instead of saying that
It would be better to say that the European body is too perfect.
It’s so perfect that you’ve been working hard for decades
The next stroke of the stroke moves slightly.
Even people who have never practiced calligraphy can see the fault.
Not to mention the already dazzling judges

Ouyang Xun took the dangers of regular script to the extreme
It is difficult to learn and enter the exhibition
It makes sense

But there is such a young man
Go ahead to dangers
In the past 12 national exhibitions,
I just relied on my standard European Kai script to successfully enter the exhibition.
Let’s take a look at the works first


The author’s name is Li Qinhui
He is a post-80s generation from Zhejiang
According to the author's own statement, he has been writing Ou Kai for ten years.
Ou Kai's representative works are "Inscription on Liquan of Jiucheng Palace", "Huadu Temple", "Stele of Yu Gonggong" and "Huangfu's Birthday".
Wrote it all over

Before he prepares his work
I have a clear understanding of Ou Kai
For example, although European sports are two kings and one series,
But the source of the method is the Sui Dynasty stele version.
It also has the characteristics of official script

The European style writing is much neater
Very few people write vividly and with charm
There are many beautiful strokes
There are very few interesting writings

Of course we have to reach this point
It can't be done in a short time
Not only does it take time to accumulate, but you also need to learn from other calligraphy styles.
to nourish, penetrate and learn from

Works submitted by Li Qinhui to the 12th National Exhibition

Li Qinhui’s work in this exhibition is an eight-foot screen
(70cm*240cm) The full text is 1068 words,
3.6cm square grid, belongs to Chinese regular script
If nothing else, just make grids on such a big piece of paper.
They are all testing people, if you are not careful,
All efforts will be wasted

Judging from the works in the exhibition
The author takes "Jiucheng Palace" as the keynote,
Incorporating the brushwork of Er Wang and Chu
Increase the agility of your work

Whether it is Tang Kai or European style
In fact, it is the same as other calligraphy styles.
Write that no one can surpass you
It’s not far from entering the exhibition.
It can be said that it has pointed out the way for the majority of regular script lovers.

This author proves with strength

Of course Ou Kai can enter the national exhibition.

It’s just that Tian Kai’s group definitely won’t be able to join.

Many people mistakenly believe that Tian Kai is Ou Kai.

I even think it’s better than Ou Kai

This is extremely embarrassing


Finally, I encourage you with a passage written by Ni Sumen in the Ming Dynasty in "On Calligraphy":

"We must choose one of the ancient masters as the sect leader, with a certain gate and a firm foothold.

Indulging in it day and night, I must make sure that my brush strokes are similar, so that people can immediately know that they are the direct descendants of this Dharma by looking at them. Even if someone criticizes me and slanders me,

I just don't move for it." Keep moving forward, and over time your mind and hands will respond accordingly.
