　　Bian Baohua: Grace Concealing Great Depths, Ink Concealing Inner Strength

　　Elegant in diction, fragrant with ink, calligraphy has long been the expression of one’s inner thoughts and the reflection of one’s temperament. Now, we look at Bian Baohua, styled Shouhe and also known as the Master of Yangxin Hall. Born into a family of scholars, he received rigorous training from a young age, developing a deep passion for calligraphy, and has never ceased practicing. Since his youth, he harbored noble aspirations, exuding a natural charm and energy, with calligraphy as his lifelong companion. His art is imbued with vigor, and his spirit is ever-present in his work.In his pursuit of calligraphy, he encountered esteemed masters such as Zhang Hai, Shen Peng, Li Duo, Liu Bingsen, Ouyang Zhongshi, and Tong Wei. He received their teachings with devotion, drawing upon a wide range of influences. He embraced the techniques of the Jin and Tang dynasties and grounded his work in the strength of the Qin and Han dynasties, eventually forming a style that is both ancient and robust, yet graceful and flowing.

　　Bian Baohua's calligraphy is proficient in all four styles, with a particular mastery of semi-cursive and clerical script. His semi-cursive writing is plain yet elegant, displaying vitality amidst refinement, and strength within its dignified structure. It strikes a balance between rigidity and softness, making it appreciated by both connoisseurs and the general audience alike. In the vast and profound realm of art, Bian's distinctive style stands out, leaving an ink-filled fragrance that merges ancient charm with modern sensibility, allowing his works to naturally unfold like a scroll. His semi-cursive brushstrokes are graceful without force, exuding a distant elegance. With flowing and dynamic strokes, his work possesses strength and beauty, reminiscent of the "Two Wangs" (Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi), embodying freshness and spontaneity. His clerical script draws from the Qin and Han dynasties, marked by powerful strokes, flexible lines, and a leisurely grace. His work carries an ancient, solemn atmosphere, with a well-balanced composition. He has meticulously studied the classical inscriptions of the Stone Gate, Yi Ying, Zhang Qian, Mount Hua steles, and the Han wooden slips from Wuwei, emulating them with deep understanding. By merging the ancient and modern, Bian has created a style of his own, achieving a high level of artistic distinction.

　　In large script, his strokes are bold and solid, the structure robust and imposing, with strict composition balanced by subtle innovation. His works convey a harmonious aura that brings peace to the viewer's heart. Modest and refined, with a noble spirit, Bian is both deeply learned and highly talented. To refine his craft, he selects the masterpieces of ancient sages, diligently practicing inscriptions, comprehending the mindsets of the ancients; he explores poetic elegance, seeking inspiration from their profound ideas. His art is pure and tranquil, cultivating the power of dragons and tigers, embodying the poised strength of drawn swords and tense bows. His writing conceals grace within simplicity, strength within composure, harmoniously balancing strength and gentleness, appealing to both refined and common tastes. With a mind embracing mountains and rivers, his pen evokes wind and clouds, an achievement that is not the result of mere momentary effort.

　　Calligraphy is said to reflect the person, as the ancients proclaimed: "The virtuous are gentle, the valiant are firm, the unconventional are agile, the talented are elegant." Thus, calligraphy mirrors the character, its lines reflecting the soul. Bian Baohua, enlisting in the year of Bingchen, served the nation for twenty-eight years, his resolve tempered by military life. With a refined aspiration towards calligraphy, he practiced diligently, excelling in both cursive and clerical scripts. His talent is outstanding, his temperament gentle, his perseverance unwavering, devoted to tradition without being constrained, innovating without deviating from the essence. After his military service, he expressed himself through ink, seamlessly merging the strength of martial discipline with the grace of literature. The essence of his calligraphy lies in its spirit. Bian’s works, rooted in temperament, adhere strictly to the rules, yet exude an ancient charm, expressing deep emotions without apparent effort, revealing refined sentiment without pretense. The ancient principle of "expressing one's true feelings, shaping one's joy and sorrow" aligns perfectly with his approach. Bian's calligraphy, deeply grounded, brims with the fragrance of books and the resonance of stone carvings. This profundity comes from his extensive study of the past and his assimilation of myriad influences, drawing nourishment from poetry, literature, music, and painting. His heart is attuned to calligraphy, exploring the elegance of classical poetry and the charm of traditional arts, his mind embracing the mountains and rivers, his brush wielding the wind and clouds. He understands the essence of ancient methods and comprehends the balance of stability and change, achieving mastery through comprehensive cultivation and synthesis.

　　The ancients stated: "Character precedes calligraphy, classical methods are the foundation, diligent study is the path." Bian's aspirations are lofty, his temperament serene, and his brushwork naturally imbued with an ancient charm. His works, at first glance, appear simple and harmonious, but upon closer examination, reveal profound depth, like orchids in a secluded valley, their fragrance subtly permeating the air. Viewing his calligraphy is like feeling a gentle spring breeze through the forest, delicate yet distinct; savoring it is akin to observing the reflection of the autumn moon on water, calm yet spirited. The essence of his work lies beyond the literal meaning, its rhythm and spirit permeating the paper, leading to an inexhaustible source of enjoyment.

　　Observing Bian Baohua’s calligraphy in quiet contemplation, one finds his strokes graceful, like clouds rolling over water, appearing and disappearing seamlessly. The essence of cursive lies in its speed, and Bian has mastered this subtle art, his skill evident in the pressure and lift of his brush. The interplay of rapid and slow movements is like lightning and wind, occasionally revealing streaks of white, like snowflakes lightly falling, sometimes showing the sway of willows in the breeze. His brush moves with the freedom of a bird in flight, sometimes pausing, sometimes continuing, with emptiness between strokes suggesting hidden meanings, and connected lines conveying substance. His expressions are varied, yet the spirit never leaves a trace. His dots and strokes are linked, like threads pulling shadows, creating beauty between the lines. His light hooks, faintly visible, flow like a mountain stream winding its way down. His brushwork is continuous, like clouds drifting with water, naturally forming reflections. Occasionally, sharpness appears, like a stone lying silently in a ravine, restrained and unpretentious. The structure of his characters contains silent strength, revealing robust energy within softness. His strokes rise and fall like dragons and serpents, each character infused with strength and profound meaning, not bound by form, but with subtle resonance between the visible and the invisible. His work combines the precision of regular script with the spontaneity of cursive, adhering to strict methods yet retaining freedom, simple yet lively. His style is rigorous yet spirited, elegant yet rhythmic. More regular strokes yield solemnity, while more cursive strokes produce freedom, the spacing harmonious, the pauses measured. Viewing his brushwork is like watching a mighty river flow, waves spontaneously forming, calm like a mountain when still, changing like clouds and wind when in motion, profound and enduring, with lingering charm. Even without seeing the form, one can sense its essence; without tracing its path, one grasps its spirit. In his work, distant emotions are conveyed, the atmosphere deep and vast. Such a realm cannot be reached easily; it is the true essence of calligraphy.

　　Bian Baohua’s clerical script is as grand as a rainbow spanning the sun, as straight as a sturdy pine reaching the clouds, with pauses and fluctuations, like hidden thunder containing latent power. The heavy starting strokes resemble a dragon gathering its force; the light ending strokes, like a goose’s tail, are gentle and graceful, as if the wind is moving the clouds. In the smooth flow of his brush, strength and softness are harmonized, the beginning and ending of strokes transform like the movements of Tai Chi, stable yet dynamic. The square turns are like rugged stones, the wavy strokes like meandering rivers, the interplay of void and solid, yin and yang complement each other. The break in the line still contains intention, the cessation of force still holds rhythm, like the great river flowing east, unstoppable in its momentum. The strokes move like stars scattered across the sky, their brightness appearing and fading in silence. The connecting strokes are like threads pulling dreams, weaving through the entire piece. His characters are stable yet surprising, their robustness hiding elegance, rustic yet refined, solid yet full of spirit. Observing his clerical script is like ascending a lofty mountain, grand but not intimidating; approaching a deep abyss, serene but not dark. Simple in form yet rich in meaning, concentrated in intention yet expansive in spirit, it is truly a landscape painting in calligraphy, with natural strength and inherent grace. The viewer, immersed in this realm, feels as if transported to ancient times, savoring its endless charm, lost in deep contemplation.

　　Ink and brush must adapt to the times, and the art must carry the legacy of both ancient and modern. Bian Baohua, with rigorous scholarship, harmonizes poetry and calligraphy, selecting renowned works from the past and present, imbuing them with grand, lofty spirit and elegant charm. Whether softly reciting or stating aphorisms, his characters flow with the resonance of a zither, the lingering notes circling and echoing, never fading. The fragrance of ink permeates his studio, and the brilliance of his brushstrokes glows. Eschewing superficial glamour, his style embodies unpretentious elegance; avoiding ornate words, his work exudes natural clarity. Sixty years of silent dedication, his art has reached its zenith, and his life has become ever more radiant. Bian Baohua, combining martial and literary skills, balancing strength with grace, with both virtue and artistry, stands out in the calligraphy world, navigating the sea of art alone, his brilliance shining forth.
