线,缠在心头
2019-02-14柴立梅
When I began to practice calligraphy by imitating the model works, I was told that I must stably hold the brush and keep the tip of the brush in the middle place when I was practicing, imprinting on the paper as if the pen point is about to penetrate through it. Only in this way can the lines be written in an eminent and textured quality. To make it feel in a good sense of quality, I worked very hard practicing writing the lines. No matter the long lines, short lines, thick lines or thin lines, they just stamp in my mind, twirling in my heart.
The inscription on the bronze ware, wavy and mottled, was telling the history with the great changes seen in the course of time. So, I tried my best to practice those works in order to get closer to them in various dynasties in pre-Qin period, Qin-Han period, Jin period, and even the following dynasties until the Qing period, yearning day and night only wish my lines are emotional.
The way of drawing the lines is the secret of the technique of expression of calligraphy. Lines have feelings to express the spirit of flesh and blood of human. Sometimes, the lines fast change with fluctuation. But no matter how changeable the lines are, the line in moms hands will be twirling over my heart for good. I will always love the strokes of lines and wish the lines I write down would have myriads of changes with my feelings.
少時,记忆最深的有妈妈的藤编针线笸筐。直径约40厘米大的匾子里搁置着小剪子、顶针、各种布头,还有各种色彩的线团线卷。时常在阳光下,坐在妈妈身边,看妈妈灵巧的手指穿针引线后,兰花指般将各色线穿梭于我们的衣物中,然后,有着舒适温馨……
稍长,喜欢戏曲,越剧京剧,跟着录音机学唱。旋律时而断,时而连,犹如线。欣赏程派唱腔如蚕丝,欲断欲连,独特优美的唱腔,也让我咿咿呀呀许久……
再以后,有了孩子。女儿养蚕,看一条条蚕吐着长长的丝……
于是,对线有了感觉,长线、短线、粗线、细线印在脑海中,缠绕在心间。
刚开始临帖时,被教导着要中锋用笔,即笔在行笔过程中稳稳地在线中心划出深深的轨迹,力透纸背。这样的用笔写出来的线才劲挺,才有质感。为了让这根线有质感,便左三圈地练,右三圈地转。
线有质感,还不行,还要有情感。线是有感情的么?有的。不然,历朝历代留下的法帖为何不是千篇一律的呢?为了笔下的线有情感,朝思暮想,试图走进先秦时期,靠近秦汉阶段,亲近晋唐宋元明清……
青铜器上的铭文斑斑驳驳的线,述说着沧桑的历史;秦小篆匀净的线,彰显着如玉的玲透;山体上质朴的线,散发着苍宇间赋予的山野气;还有书法史上留下宝贵的晋韵唐法宋意的铅字评述……
线如魔术师,旋转着、组合着、变化着。法国雕塑家罗丹有这样一段话:“一个规定的线通贯着大宇宙,赋予了一切陋的东西来的。”这是我在宗白华先生的《美学散步》(第167页)中读到的。“规定的线”含义是什么呢?我的理解是,规定是法则、程式,即法的规定性;若到了自由自在的境地当无法,便赋予那根线的美。
一位雕塑家谈线,对线深有感知。素描如书法一样亦为线构成,线的连贯、运用是否合适,在长线里最有表现;接着从整体结构把握,即空间的虚实和透视等,也是通过线反映事物的根本;再接着表现明暗关系,还是用不同的笔画出不同的线来表现;最后处理细节,被创造物是否给人一种物质感,让人能感觉到是皮的还是木的,等等。
线,真是表现方法的秘密。正如宗白华先生释说:“千笔万笔,统于一笔,正是这一笔的运化尔!”
线是有情感的,能表现骨肉筋血来!三国魏太傅钟繇说:“笔迹者界也,流美者人也……”一画之笔迹,流出万象之美,即人心之美,美是从“人”流出来的。没有人,则没有美,没有情感的人,笔下的线也将没有生命力。
妈妈手中的线,让我联想到张芝的势如鸿飞兽骇、云龙游天的线;王羲之的不激不厉、风规自远的线;张旭的“伏如虎卧,起如龙跳”的线;怀素的腾挪跌宕的细挺之线……而妈妈的这根线,永远缠绕在我心头!钟情于这根线,也祝我笔下划出的线富有情感地千变万化着……
