To be the "ferryman" of Chinese calligraphy and classical culture going overseas
-- Guo Chunxing, a calligrapher in foreign languages

I had come to visit Guo chunxing with the expectation of digging a shovel of coal, hoping to crack the mystery of Chinese writing in foreign languages. Later, when it came to traditional culture, I felt that I had struck a "gold mine".
First, tai Chi internal Dan gong
"China's traditional culture is extensive and profound. The I Ching, medicine, painting and calligraphy, Tai Chi and martial arts are all interconnected, and philosophy is behind them. To spread Chinese culture internationally, there must be something real with Chinese characteristics." Guo Chunxing said. It is difficult for a TCM practitioner to become a good TCM practitioner if he does not understand the Book of Changes, huangdi's Internal Canon and Treatise on Februaries. At present, Guo chunxing has been appointed as a 10-year visiting professor by "Greater Toronto College of Chinese Medicine".
Guo chunxing met Mr. Meng Kai, chairman of international Tao Culture Association, at the First Chinese festival in Germany. Mr. Meng is a TCM doctor from Wudang Mountain, China. He has been running TCM clinics in Germany for nearly 20 years. I know from the business card that Guo Chunxing is the president of Liaoning Zhangsanfeng Historical and Cultural Research Society. I have to ask the accompanying personnel of the Consulate general to arrange a dinner for Guo Chunxing before he returns to China. The meeting was arranged at a clinic he opened in a wealthy district. He said that in Germany, traditional Chinese medicine charges more than western medicine and benefits better, and he received many requests for acupuncture, massage and Taoist tai chi to treat diseases.
(Guo Chunxing met with Meng Kai, Chairman of International Daoist Culture Association in Germany)
Guo teacher asked him: "What is the Taoist tai Chi internal dangong?" He said, "The main thing is that you can cure diseases with the original energy. The highest state of qi is that it can be 'quiet, extremely vivid', which ordinary people cannot practice. Guo chunxing suddenly remembered that during the qigong boom in China in the late 1980s, he also practiced standing piles every day. One day suddenly his whole body shook up, covered with sweat, he was startled. After the demonstration to his family and friends, all said that evil, resolutely refused to practice, he had to give up. Decades had passed, so he humbly wanted to show Chairman Meng Kai what he had done. About 10 minutes silent piling, mobilize the vitality, the whole body spontaneously shake. Chairman Meng's eyes were straight and speechless for a long time. At last, he quickly asked him to take the credit. Shaking his hand tightly, he said excitedly, "This is the highest level of Taoist tai Chi internal Dan gong, which is called 'spontaneous qi Gong'. I only know the theory, so far I have not met anyone who has practiced successfully, including myself. Come to Germany and make money with me. I'll give you the presidency." Guo declined because he did not understand German.
After returning to China, Guo intensified his theoretical research on Taoist tai Chi. Finally I realized that this was a kind of skill named "Wenshi School", also called "Longyin School" and "Yinxian School" by Yin Xi according to Lao Zi's "Tao Te Ching", which was passed down to Zhang Sanfeng of the sixth generation. It's hard for anyone to do that in this impetuous age. Mr. Liu Jinxi, the 90-year-old master of "Xiao Zhou Tian Nei Dan Gong", had never seen this kind of gong either, but Mr. Liu found him many ancient books on this method.
On his second visit to Germany, he gave chairman Meng Kai copies of the "Yin Fu Sutras" written by The Yellow Emperor xuanyuan, the "Hundred-character Monument" written by Lv Dongbin, and the "Rootless Tree" written by Zhang Sanfeng, etc. He also talked about many so-called "masters" at home and abroad who "falsely spread false achievements". Mr. Meng felt the same way. When he knew guo Chunxing also studied "Tai Chi, sword heart method", created the song "Tai Chi", planned "Tai Chi charm" interstudio gymnastics by shenyang Federation of Trade Unions and the city tai Chi association in the city to promote, very admire. Since then, they became intimate friends. Since Guo Chunxing really did not want to be president, he hired him as "vice chairman of the International Daoist Culture Association and president of zhang Sanfeng Cultural Research Institute". And look forward to Guo Chunxing one day can come to Germany to jointly promote tai Chi internal Dan health culture.
Guo chunxing feels that it doesn't really matter who the tai Chi master is. Learn with who of course very key, and learn the key or want to see their own understanding. Guo chunxing has learned a variety of tai Chi techniques, and they all have their own strengths, some of them are masters. When I studied the culture of Zhang Sanfeng, I found that he sat in a cave for a long time when he was practicing inner alchemy. When he went outside, he saw birds and snakes fighting, and suddenly got inspiration, so he invented Taijiquan. And Tai Chi is in "Heart and Da Tian qi (Qi) full". Now many taijiquan practitioners, if they are not just behind Zhang Sanfeng in their moves, the gap is in Dantian Qi. He put forward the idea of "There is no fixed law, but my mind is the law. One law cannot be established and all laws are integrated".
Ii. The BOOK of Changes is not easy
Guo Chunxing asked me: "Do you know the hero Xia Minghan?"
"Of course I know that. 'Beheading does not matter, as long as the party is true, kill Xia Minghan, and later people', there are small text ", I replied.
Guo then tells a story about the connection between calligraphy and the BOOK of Changes. Xia Minghan's nephew is Liang Dujing, who lives in Taiwan. The old man was nearly ninety. This patriotic old man is an internationally famous master of architectural design, who is his friend without age. He still keeps in touch with him on wechat every day.
In the fall of 2014, Mr. Liang visited Shenyang Longemeng, where Guo Chunxing was holding an Exhibition of Chinese Calligraphy in English. Mr. Liang suddenly understood his calligraphy, ecstatic, immediately wrote a paragraph of English for Guo Chunxing to write. Mr. Liang was very excited when he saw the work: "Originally English can still write like this! Very Very good!" . In the evening, he did not allow others to accompany, and guo Chunxing alone deep chat.

When he learned that Guo Chunxing was a visiting professor of I Ching, he had to use the I Ching theory to explain the reasons for the success of the two parties. Guo Chunxing had to use his understanding of the "Qimen Dun Jia" theory and the difference between "tao and art", told him "to serve the people, committed to the national prosperity is the way", "to personal official vow is a small art", the reasons for victory and defeat both god and someone. Mr. Liang was very concerned about the time of reunification and hoped to see it in his lifetime. Guo Chunxing told him that "the time has not come, the reunification of the motherland is sooner or later." Let him live well and be sure to see this day. Mr. Liang was very gratified, after returning to Taiwan, he also sent the route of arranging foreign Chinese calligraphy exhibition around the world and the "contact map" list of receptionists composed of his students around the world.
Once Guo Chunxing gave a speech on the same stage with Mr. Geng Rongshui, a famous current affairs critic in Fujian province. After listening to Guo Chunxing's speech on "How to apply the wisdom of the BOOK of Changes", he was very surprised. Later, Guo Chunxing went to Taiwan for a trip. Mr. Geng hosted a banquet and also invited Mr. Liang. Through the dinner conversation, they did not expect the mainland traditional culture could revive so quickly. They said that only traditional Chinese culture is the common "root" of compatriots on both sides of the Straits.
Mr. Chen Zhonghua, founder of Daqingshan International Tai Chi School in Rizhao, Shandong province and overseas master of Chen tai Chi, first encouraged Guo to write English and Chinese calligraphy. He was a classmate of Wu Xiuping, Guo Chunxing's wife, in the Foreign Language Department of Shandong University. He was also the first person to ask Guo Chunxing to write "Do as You would be done by! When preparing for the construction of daqingshan International Tai Chi Square, he asked Guo Chunxing to write "Welcome Friends from Afar!" Carve the Old English sentence into stone.

Later, in the "Yongling Cultural Creative Park" in Fuxin National Coal Mine Park, Chen Yongling, chairman of the board, carved more than 20 Pieces of Guo Chunxing's English and Chinese calligraphy on 15 boulders. Among them, "Forgive Forgive" was posted online and received more than 1.5 million hits a day.
Chen Yongling, chairman of the board, was very farseeing. After knowing that Guo Chunxing understood the Book of Changes, he specially bought many ancient stone rollers from the countryside and made them into the "64 hexagrams ancient shaking table". The audience was curious to watch and unconsciously learned the BOOK of Changes.

I remember the first time I went to Germany for the "China Festival". On the afternoon of the last day, before the closing ceremony, a lady came to Ask Guo chunxing for a piece of calligraphy. She was holding a copy of the "64 hexagrams and Surrounding area" and said what she wanted in French to the translator, who looked confused and quickly asked for help. Soon eight interpreters gather around and they all try to guess what the woman wants.
She kept talking, tapping her upper tooth against her lower tooth. No matter how much she repeated the gesture, the translators around her remained confused.
Guo chunxing saw this and understood that the lady's "upper teeth tapping lower teeth" was an action of one of the hexagrams in the BOOK of Changes, so he drew the "Shan Lei yi hexagrams" with a brush. The lady nodded repeatedly. Guo then drew a hexagram and wrote "Yi" on the bottom of it. He wished her to "take care of her life" through the translator. He also wrote "Yi Dao" and gave it to her. The woman bowed deeply and gave Guo a long, warm hug.
The next year's Chinese Festival had just begun, and the lady had brought along a group of her friends. Pointing to Guo Chunxing, he told the translator with a thumbs-up: "Mr. Guo is not only a calligrapher, but also knows the Chinese Book of Changes. He is a superior man." It turns out that this lady and her friends who are studying the BOOK of Changes from France came to visit Mr. Guo, a distinguished scholar from China. Of course, everyone got a satisfactory work, kept praising "this is not calligraphy, is the Book of Changes, Chinese culture", while saying the thumbs up.
"Nowadays, many people with insight in the world are studying the BOOK of Changes as a priceless gift from our ancestors," Guo said with a sigh. On the contrary, in many public occasions in China, I dare not mention that I study the BOOK of Changes. People often equate the book of Changes, which studies the law of development and change of things, with feudal superstition and fortune-telling. This is really a big misunderstanding. As a matter of fact, the concept of "following the rules of nature and uniting man with nature" is the inherent survival concept of Chinese civilization. The Chinese Academy of Social Sciences has incorporated the BOOK of Changes and forecasting into its full-time teaching system, recruiting doctoral students in 2019. The Learning Power Platform and CCTV are also featured." I said, "Take your time. The I Ching is heating up."
Guo chunxing said a significant number of students who actually study the I Ching in China are in the president's class. He has taught for many years in the EMBA class of Liaoning University and the "Master class of Sinology and I Ching" of Century Talent Business School of Northeastern University. The course is themed as "Revealing the Secret of the Magical I Ching and Enlightening the Wisdom of Life", and let everyone truly understand the wisdom of I Ching through the yi Number of plum blossom. Understand the relationship between "tao and shu", break superstition, don't be deceived.
I asked him how many I Ching apprentices he had now. He says he hasn't formally accepted apprentices because he doesn't want to be called 'master,' which is a heavy title. "Those who make changes do not anticipate, and those who cultivate virtues do not occupy. Good deeds are the best feng shui, and modesty is the core of the 64 hexagrams. "My life is in me, not in heaven." He spread the wisdom of the I Ching in order to keep students from being cheated, so he was very popular among students and was awarded the title of "Outstanding Entrepreneurship Mentor of 2017" by the Shenyang municipal government.
Guo chunxing asked me: Do you know why 5G is being resisted by some countries? "It's a combination of politics and marketing," I say. He said, "LET me use the BOOK of Changes to explain it to you."
Lest I should not understand, he wrote the following: This is because the number "5" in the eight trigrams is xungua (also called wind, which also represents wood), and the letter "G" in the eight trigrams is "7", and the letter "G" in the eight trigrams is gen (also called mountain, which also represents earth). When the five and seven are stacked on top of each other, they are called "Fengshanjian gua", which resembles "a big tree on a high mountain". Political reasons aside, the product itself is envied by the industry. In the huagua, there is an image of "fire and water have not been assisted", which means that there is a meaning of "the heart cannot do things, and the upper and the lower are not unified". If we don't strengthen internal management at this time, we are sure to get into trouble in the future. As a result, a friend in Germany told him that individual personnel of a 5G company in Germany really behaved badly. Sometimes in the restaurant to eat swagger, loud, noisy, the presence of foreigners dislike. So hopefully someone will kindly remind them of their leadership. Therefore, Guo chunxing discussed with relevant personnel and wanted to give them a lesson in the name of presenting the calligraphy as a gift, as well as a kind reminder. Later, the video and calligraphy were presented to the company leaders together with relevant personnel. The leader was said to be grateful after seeing the video and calligraphy, and humbly accepted his kind reminder.
One sword in thirty years
"Bao Jianfeng from honed out, plum blossom incense from the bitter cold". It turned out that guo Chunxing's calligraphy background came from his tutor. His mentor is a veteran, veteran mentor in the strong Hong Yang Sinology team of teachers, gave him rich sinology nutrition. For more than 10 years, the team has performed more than 10 classics such as Tao Te Ching, Analects of Confucius, Book of Songs and BOOK of Changes on the stage by chanting. After the program was broadcast on CCTV 4, it was included in the cultural column "Learning Power".
He is the author of the BOOK of Changes and has also witnessed the creation of other works. In 2017, the recital of "Light of Wisdom" from the BOOK of Changes was finally performed on the stage. Dozens of team, more than 10 years, more than 10 classics! This has to face how many ups and downs, how much perseverance, to adhere to the completion. I can't even think about it. It takes ten years to sharpen a sword.
Guo chunxing said he became a member of the Liaoning Calligrapher's Association in 1988 and has won many awards in and outside the military. If there is no Chinese calligraphy foundation, it is not good to write calligraphy in foreign languages.
原来郭春兴《感悟易经六十四卦诗词》在2011年就被《国际名人大典》收录并写成了书法被人收藏。将来他准备找人翻译成外文传播到世界各地。由他编剧的《戏说八卦》小品,曾在海南某次海峡两岸和14个国家人员参加的会议上演出,受到了广泛好评。聊到这里才知道,原来郭春兴为了学习编剧和写小品曾拜原辽宁文联副主席、原中国曲艺家协会副主席崔凯老师门下,2007年2008年辽宁和北京电视台春晚由郭东临主演的小品《电梯》都出自他手。他还曾获过东三省小品大赛一等奖。还有八部小品曾作为沈阳音乐学院南校区辅导教材。他还写过40多首歌词。《最香莫过家常饭》曾在辽宁电台作为每周一歌播放过。《太极》歌曲上了中央电视台。
“原来你这个‘摆渡人’,在‘小船’上承载了不少东西啊”!他说“但愿这艘书法小船能搭载上我这十多年下功夫研究的易经和太极,让凝聚着人类智慧的中国经典文化不断走出国门。其实我从离开部队的那一天起,就琢磨着能用什么方法让中国文化走向世界?只是一直没有找到合适的方法而已。”我看到了他的文人情怀和巨大的责任感,这才是十年磨剑、锲而不舍的根本力量。我似乎从走近到更进一步走进了郭春兴。我默默想着,同样身为文化工作者,我能做点什么呢?那就还是先改口吧,从亲切的“大哥”改称充满尊敬的“老师”。

It turned out that Guo Chunxing's Thoughts on the Poems of the sixty-four Hexagrams of the BOOK of Changes was included in the International Celebrity Ceremony in 2011 and collected in calligraphy. In the future, he plans to have people translated into foreign languages and spread around the world. His sketch of "Gossiping" was performed at a conference in Hainan attended by people from across the Taiwan Straits and 14 countries, and was widely praised. Chat to know here, the original Guo Chunxing in order to learn scriptwriting and writing sketches had to worship the former Vice chairman of the Liaoning Federation of Literary and art, the former Vice chairman of the Chinese Song and Art Association Cui Kai teacher under the door, in 2007 2008 Liaoning and Beijing TV Spring Festival Gala by Guo Donglin starred in the sketch "elevator" from his hand. He also won the first prize in the three Northeastern provinces sketch contest. There are also eight sketches as the south campus of Shenyang Conservatory of Music tutoring teaching materials. He also wrote more than 40 lyrics. "The most fragrant than a home-cooked meal" in Liaoning radio as a weekly song played. The song tai Chi was broadcast on CCTV.
"So you this' ferryman ', in the 'boat' carrying a lot of things ah!" He said, "I hope this calligraphy boat can carry the I Ching and Tai Chi that I have been studying for more than 10 years, so that the Chinese classical culture, which embodies the wisdom of human beings, will continue to go abroad. In fact, SINCE the day I left the army, I have been thinking about how to introduce Chinese culture to the world. I just haven't found the right way." I have seen his literati feelings and great sense of responsibility, which is the fundamental strength of his perseverance for ten years. I seem to have walked into Guo Chunxing from close to further. I thought to myself, as a cultural worker, what can I do? Then I'd better change my name from friendly "big brother" to respectful "teacher".
