Li Shuping of Plum Blossom Seal Script

Chen Sanliang is recognized by people in the industry as a master of plum blossom seal script. Her original name is Li Shuping. Her ancestral home is Lijiazhai Village, Xindian Town, Huimin County, Shandong Province. She is the daughter of Li Jingjiu, who was elected during the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty. Li Jingjiu and his wife were murdered by the eunuch Liu Jin, and then she became anonymous and named Chen Sanliang. "Chen Sanliang" not only wrote well, but could also write plum blossom seal characters with both hands. At that time, everyone in the surrounding counties of Wuding was well-known. She was philanthropic and had an excellent reputation. She once adopted Chen Kui, a poor scholar, as her adoptive brother. She used her personal savings to fund Chen Kui's food and accommodation, and personally taught him reading and composition. Later, Chen Kui won the first prize. In his later years, "Chen Sanliang" used his savings to establish a "welfare home" and adopted many orphans. One of the children named Guo was particularly smart. "Chen Sanliang" not only taught him literature and literacy, but also personally taught him "Plum Blossom Seal Script". "Chen Sanliang" is a master of plum blossom seal script. After seven or eight years of careful teaching, this child has learned the true meaning of it. After growing up and leaving the orphanage, he used the plum blossom seal calligraphy skill he learned to walk around the streets and support his family by selling calligraphy, and passed down this calligraphy art from generation to generation. "Chen Sanliang" was 84 years old when she died. It was about three miles from Fuchun Yuan at that time to her cemetery outside Dongguan. Hundreds of people came to pay their respects to the funeral, all coming spontaneously. This child surnamed Guo not only personally attended Chen Sanliang's funeral, but also paid homage and swept the grave every New Year, which can be said to have fulfilled his filial piety. After his death, the deeds of "Chen Sanliang" have also been put on film, television, and theater stages, and have been sung to this day through Peking Opera, Pu Opera, Qu Opera, Henan Opera, Yue Opera, Hebei Bangzi and other operas. When the Guo family passed down "Plum Blossom Seal Script" to his twelfth generation grandson Guo Jingzhai and Wenshan, it was during the war in the Republic of China and the people were in dire straits, so he continued to make a living by selling calligraphy and painting. One year, Guo Jingzhai went to the streets of Qixian County, an ancient city in the Central Plains. He was hungry and set up a street stall for three days in a row. No one cared about it and he didn't make any money. In that era, people did not have enough to eat and no clothes to cover their bodies. How could they have the leisure and elegance to buy calligraphy and paintings and hang them at home to appreciate them? Guo Jingzhai, who had nowhere to hide that night, hid under the eaves of the Wang family's gate to take shelter from the wind and cold. He was actually frozen outside the door during the night.

Mr. Wang Congbin opened the door in the morning, only to find a middle-aged man huddled in front of the door, freezing and fainting. He hurriedly called his family, carried the middle-aged man to the bed, added clothes and quilts, made medicine and fed him. The middle-aged man slowly regained consciousness. Only when Guo Jingzhai woke up did he know the reason. After learning that the savior's name was Wang Congbin, he came from a wealthy family, attended a private school, and later became a local teacher. He was also a scholar. The two talked very speculatively. In order to repay Wang Congbin for saving his life, Guo Jingzhai decided to teach him the "Plum Blossom Seal Script" that his ancestors learned from Chen Sanliang. Wang Congbin was very happy after hearing this. He followed Guo Jingzhai every day to polish the post and study it with concentration. After half a year, Wang Congbin's plum blossom seal calligraphy skill had become superb and he could use it freely, so Guo Jingzhai said goodbye and returned home. Mr. Wang Hongjun was born in the early 1960s in a village in Qixian County, the ancient city of Suzhou. When Mr. Hong Jun was young, his father was baptized by the Cultural Revolution and was left penniless. In May 1980, he studied medicine on his own under the instruction of his father, and contracted 12 acres of land. However, he loved drawing and painted everywhere. The uncle Wang Congbin who lived across the wall was already an octogenarian, frail and sick, and his children were not around. Xiao Hongjun often helped the old man fetch water and sweep the yard, and went to the fields to harvest wheat and beans. He was very busy. Mr. Wang Congbin saw that Xiao Hongjun was talented and liked to write and draw. Finally one day, he pulled Xiao Hongjun into the room and said, "Hong'er, uncle, please teach you how to write plum blossom seal script." Xiao Hongjun I was dancing with joy and couldn't help myself. At this time, not long after the end of the "Cultural Revolution", Wang Hongjun, who was in the age of dancing spoons, formally worshiped Mr. Wang Congbin as his teacher and studied plum blossom seal script, which he wrote for more than thirty years. Wang Hongjun did live up to his uncle's painstaking efforts. Under the careful guidance of the old man, his calligraphy skills improved rapidly. Within a few years, he mastered the essentials of writing plum blossom seal characters, and took this exquisite art to the university, and then to the next level. Got to work. He is already a backbone policeman of the Suzhou City Public Security Bureau in Anhui Province.

He still takes some time off from his busy schedule to study calligraphy skills. Wang Hongjun's "Plum Blossom Seal Character" is based on the seal character, inlaying plum blossoms in the characters, so that the seal characters and plum blossoms are cleverly integrated into one, achieving the goal of "looking from a distance, they are flowers, and looking up close, they are characters, there are characters in the flowers, and there are characters hidden in the characters." The unique artistic effect of "flowers, flowers and characters blending together". He is determined to further study the plum blossom seal characters of "Chen Sanliang", constantly innovate, and strive to work within one stroke, between expressing feelings and dots, between applying beauty and flower branches, showing the beauty of wind, spirit and charm. Make greater contributions to carrying forward traditional Chinese culture and art and enriching social and cultural life. Shi Tao, a master of the Qing Dynasty, said that pen and ink should keep pace with the times.

Mr. Hong Jun humbly learned from the masters of the past, mastered the skills, was diligent and studious, focused on seeing a doctor, practicing calligraphy in his spare time, and farming when he was busy. For decades, he kept visiting the pond and bringing forth the new. He absorbed the essence of traditional plum blossom seal script and incorporated it into modern times. For aesthetic appeal, the awkward and difficult-to-understand seal characters are transformed into easily identifiable modern Chinese characters. The branches of plum blossoms are interspersed between the lines of the characters, and then the edges of the written seal characters are sparsely or densely decorated with plum blossoms from different angles, making the original look dull and monotonous. The plum blossom seal characters are becoming more and more graceful and graceful. In order to paint plum blossoms well, Mr. Hong Jun went deep into life. At the same time, he also drew nourishment from the traditional Chinese painting art, learning from the past but not from the past. Pushing the art of plum blossom seal script to its peak, his works of art are becoming more and more popular among people, and there is an endless stream of people asking for paintings.
