 不久前，中国著名书法家李海峰先生为湖北希望工程第三界慈善晚宴专门创作的书法作品《黄鹤楼送孟浩然之广陵》，一举拍出71.8万元，创下了湖北省当代书法作品拍卖的最高记录。该作品四尺整张，可谓蕴气藏精，字字珠玑，“二王”风骨凛凛再现。整幅作品，线条清婉，清远萧散，结体严谨，用笔舒缓疾弛有度，是近年来书法艺术界里众多书法作品中难得一见的佳作。

这幅作品的艺术美，一览无余地流露出创作者的人格魅力，这使我再一次对李海峰先生萌生了强烈的敬仰之情。

宛若游龙，惊若飞鸿

常言道“心正则笔直”、“书如其人”。李海峰先生的书作，起落缜密、技艺精妙、枯瘦有致，有着他对中国书法艺术独有的阐释和演绎，内含一种特有的气度和精神。书法艺术的最高境界是意在笔先，李海峰先生的书作，是在豪放中释放一种空灵。

不难看出，李海峰先生的书法作品是具深厚的艺术功底的。其作品在表现形式上，雅俗共赏，能为大众所接受。在艺术风格上，具有正大气象，自然中透着刚健、朴素中溢出清新。

更难能可贵的是，李海峰先生的书法，博采众家之长，成功地完成了从书法奴隶到书法主人的转变。从其书作我们可以看到，作为一名书家，李海峰先生着墨浓淡相宜，枯瘦与圆润交相辉映，行草相间，布局错落有致，完全进入了一种空灵的境界。仔细品味其书作，一股富有质感的艺术清新之美袭面而来，可谓是宛若游龙，惊若飞鸿。

在他的艺术世界里漫游，仿佛置身于一片斑斓的梦幻之境，绚烂之极，奇妙之极，经典之极。掩卷吟咏，生无限感慨，令人如痴如醉、欲歌欲舞！

甘于淡泊、心境清虚

书法不是简简单单地写个字，而是一个人文化修养的体现，一个人的人品、素养都能通过书法表现出来，如果一个人只会写字，那只能说他是一个写字匠。书法不仅仅是“技”，是“艺”，更是“道”，尺幅天地，构建的是书写者的精神家园。

古代的众多书家在书法艺术领域构建了一座后人永远也无法逾越的高山，而他们多是淡泊名利，更有甚者遁入空门。现代社会浮躁泛滥，德艺双馨造诣的书法大家少之又少。只有甘于淡泊、心境清虚的人，才能在学习书法的过程中不受名利的诱惑，从而静下心来刻苦钻研，进而获得更高的书法成就。李海峰先生算是一位。

先生乐善好施，经常将自己的作品慷慨赠人，不同于现下那些铜臭萦身的书家。他还经常参加一些慈善活动，真可谓是“大爱无疆，大道无垠”。

清代书法家刘熙载有名言曰：“书者，如也;如其学，如其才，如其志，总之曰如其人而已。”书法艺术反映的是一个人完整的内心世界，是其学识、才情和志向的综合反映，这就决定了书法创作不可能通过某种单一的活动去实现，而要求书法家把全部心灵都投入到自己的作品之中。也正是由于书法家对创作的全身心投入，使得书法艺术与其他艺术相比，更能充分透彻地表现书法家的人格。

　　“书为心画”，“意在笔先”，书法作品是书家人格及修养的具体呈现。书家文化素养的深浅，往往决定了其书法品位的高低。中国书法史，是一个重视文化、重视品味的历史。历代的书法大家，均不是以“书”立身，而是以他们的学识、修养、文才、著作而论。人们总把人品、书品与文品结合起来评论书家。俗话说：心正则笔正，心刚则气雄。李海峰先生在中国书法美学、书法理论上良好的学养，成就了他凝重笃实、儒雅潇洒的书风，构成了他书法艺术的灵魂和生命。从他的书法作品中，不难觅到那种淡泊、清虚、无为、坐忘之境界;可以品出无限壮阔、无限雄浑、无限空灵的意蕴。

师出名门，不断超越

一个真正的书家应该对技法勤学苦练、朝夕钻研，是应具有独到的欣赏能力及敏锐鉴别能力的。扎实的书法基础要经过长时间的临帖和研习才能斩获。先生不到十岁就表现出了对书画艺术的浓烈兴趣，并开始勤奋临习。他于1979年9月入伍，受到军旅文化的熏陶和多位书法名家指导，研习书法。多年来广泛涉猎历代碑帖，尤喜二王、米、苏之书风。近年来，在王羲之、米芾、启功等诸多书法大家的经典作品中汲取营养，悉心钻研，因而其书法从理论到技法上都有了飞跃的突破，融各家精髓于一体，形成了自己的风格。先生尤其擅长行书、草书，行、草书作品运笔流畅，法度严谨，动静相依，错落有致，真可谓是飘逸中不失苍劲，大气中透出秀美。

后来先生进入清华大学学习，并取得艺术博士学位。这个阶段的学习对其成功是有决定性作用的。在恩师启功、欧阳中石、李毅华的悉心指导下，他形成了章法娴熟、技艺独到、力透纸背、隽永流畅、笔墨浑厚的书法风格。也因此，李海峰先生被书法界誉为“行书王子”。

艺术无止境。对于书法艺术大家来说，他像夸父逐日一样，在不断追求完美。总在夜阑人静之时，他独自审视自己的作品，并自己为自己挑刺。他的每一次进步都是在对自己作品的一次次自我否定上，突破自我并走向更高的艺术境界的。

正是这份痴情和执着，成就了他如今这番令人敬重的艺术造诣和境界。

我们坚信，一个能把艺术视为生命一部分而永恒追求的人，是一定能创造奇迹、进入艺术最高殿堂的！

Commentary articles

Not long ago, Mr. Li Haifeng, a famous Chinese calligrapher, dedicated his calligraphy work "Yellow Crane Tower Sends Meng Haoran's Guangling to the Third Philanthropic Dinner of the Hope Project in Hubei Province". He snapped 718,000 yuan in one fell swoop, setting the highest record for the auction of contemporary calligraphy works in Hubei Province. The whole work is four feet long. It can be said to contain the essence of gas. The word "two kings" is an awesome reappearance. The whole work, with clear lines, clear distances, precise structure, ease and relaxation with a pen, is a rare masterpiece in the field of calligraphy in recent years.

The artistic beauty of this work shows the personality charm of the creator at a glance, which makes me once again have a strong admiration for Mr. Li Haifeng.

Like a dragon swimming, like a flying hero

As the saying goes, "Heart is straight and straight", "Book is like its person". Mr. Li Haifeng's calligraphy, with its meticulous rise and fall, exquisite skills and delicate leanness, has his unique interpretation and deduction of Chinese calligraphy art, which contains a unique atmosphere and spirit. The highest realm of calligraphy art is to write first. Mr. Li Haifeng's works are to release an empty spirit in bold and unconstrained.

It is not difficult to see that Mr. Li Haifeng's calligraphy works have a profound artistic foundation. In the form of expression, his works are appreciated by both elegance and vulgarity, and can be accepted by the public. In terms of artistic style, it has a positive atmosphere, which is full of vigor, simplicity and freshness.

What is more valuable is that Mr. Li Haifeng's calligraphy has successfully completed the transformation from a slave to a master of calligraphy. From his works, we can see that as a calligrapher, Mr. Li Haifeng has entered an empty realm with appropriate ink intensity, thin and round, alternating rows and grass, and scattered layout. Carefully savoring his works, a fresh beauty of art with texture attacked us, which is like a dragon swimming and a great surprise.

In his art world, wandering, as if in a colorful dreamland, gorgeous extreme, wonderful extreme, classic extreme. Cover up and chant, live with infinite emotion, make people like drunken, like singing and dancing! 

Be willing to be indifferent and clear-minded

Calligraphy is not simply writing a word, but the embodiment of a person's cultural accomplishment. A person's character and accomplishment can be expressed through calligraphy. If a person can only write, it can only be said that he is a writer. Calligraphy is not only "skill", but also "art", but also "Tao", which is the spiritual home of the writers.

Many ancient calligraphers in the field of calligraphy art have built a mountain that can never be surmounted by future generations. Most of them are indifferent to fame and wealth, and even escape into the empty door. In modern society, impetuosity is rampant, and few calligraphers have achieved both virtue and art. Only those who are willing to be indifferent and have a clear mind can be free from the temptation of fame and fortune in the process of learning calligraphy, so as to calm down and study hard, and then achieve higher achievements in calligraphy. Mr. Li Haifeng is one.

Mr. Hu is kind and generous. He often gives his works to others generously, which is different from the current bronze-smelling calligraphers. He also often participates in charitable activities, which can be described as "boundless love, boundless avenues".

Liu Xizai, a calligrapher in the Qing Dynasty, has a famous saying: "The calligrapher is like this; the scholar is like his talent, his will is like his person in a word." Calligraphy art reflects a person's complete inner world and a comprehensive reflection of his knowledge, talent and ambition, which determines that the creation of calligraphy can not be achieved through a single activity, but requires the calligrapher to put all his heart into his works. It is precisely because of the calligrapher's wholehearted devotion to creation that the calligraphy art can more fully and thoroughly express the personality of the calligrapher than other arts.

"Calligraphy is the heart painting" and "the intention is to write first". Calligraphy works are the specific presentation of the personality and accomplishment of calligraphers. The depth of the calligrapher's cultural accomplishment often determines the level of his calligraphic taste. The history of Chinese calligraphy is a history of attaching importance to culture and taste. Calligraphy masters of past dynasties did not stand on the basis of "books", but on the basis of their knowledge, accomplishment, literary talent and works. People always combine character, books and works to comment on the writer. As the saying goes: the heart is regular and the pen is correct, the heart is strong and vigorous. Mr. Li Haifeng's good academic attainment in Chinese calligraphy aesthetics and theory has achieved his dignified, elegant and unrestrained calligraphy style, which constitutes the soul and life of his calligraphy art. From his calligraphy works, it is not difficult to find the realm of indifference, emptiness, inaction, sitting and forgetting, which can produce the meanings of infinite magnificence, infinite vigor and infinite emptiness.
