何绍基学政四川及其回腕执笔书法风格形成的文化渊源

Can Unscrupulousness be Tamed:Stylized Pen craft of He Shaoji's Calligraphy

咸丰二年至五年,何绍基为四川学政。在四川的三年多时间里,何绍基书法艺术完成了由成熟向风格定型的转换,完成了一个质的飞跃。究其实,主要基于其执笔方法的转变,也就是从"猿臂"的观察进而强化"回腕高悬"的执笔法并将其固化。固化回腕执笔,是何绍基在四川的一大收获,也是奠定其晚年书风的主要技术手段。这一执笔法的形成与其在四川任学政这一职位的经历与情感变化有着密切的关系。失官之后的峨眉、瓦屋之游,令其"猿臂翁"之自号不仅有着自身与动物对应的物象依据,更隐含着其对于贬官的无声回应。何绍基并非故意要违背生理规律,而是顺应自身的身体条件与心理需要,以自己实际的身心状况为基础,自然选择了回腕执笔法。

From 1852 to 1855,He Shaoji was assigned as a procurator in Sichuan. During the three years,He Shaoji made a great progress in his calligraphy style which might significantly attributed to changes upon pen craft. Inspired from ape arms,he initiated and stylized a special writing method,which was a worthy gain and also established his calligraphy style in his old age. We could infer that this writing method has an intimate relationship with his special experience and feeling in Sichuan. When degraded,he visited to Emei Mountain and Wawu Mountain,and then he tagged himself ＂ape-arm old man＂ which not only was his self-portrait but also was a positive response to degrading. He Shaoji was not against physiological law on purpose,by contraries,he just humored his own psychological needs,thus naturally chose the writing methods.
