蘭亭雅聚活動紀實

2016年4月3日週日下午，Boston 地區書法愛好者組織「蘭亭雅聚」，在Framingham Mc Auliffe Branch Library，舉辦了一場中國書法中有關「讀帖」的專題演講及研討活動。

臨帖，是通往書法殿堂的單行道。只有踏踏實實完成好，才有可能達到“我書意造本無法，點畫信手煩推求”的狂肆境界。可是書法愛好者在大量的臨帖過程中常常產生一些困惑，譬如“離形離神”、“臨其形易摹其神難”、“形似而神遠”等等……總是走不出徒有其表的桎梏，甚至形似的也不盡人意。問題出在哪里？

清代書法家包世臣在《藝舟雙楫》中說：先能察，後能擬……察在擬之先。而此處的「察」，就是讀帖。一本名家好帖，就猶如一位好先生。此先生說“字外無法，法在字中”，要你自己主動去請教，就是「讀帖」。

蘭亭雅聚的此次活動，就是特別邀請了來自山東菏澤的職業畫家、資深書法愛好者宋濤先生進行專題演講：《讀帖在書法研習中的重要作用及臨寫漢隸的幾個小體會》。

宋濤先生是專業從事油畫、水彩畫和雕刻創作的。但他十幾歲就開始研習書法，自柳、顏、歐始，經王氏父子，一路上行至漢隸、帛書和甲骨文，謹記欲成就書法之業“不可無宗主

，必不能有門戶”之古訓，刻意向史前書法藝術中尋根法。對漢隸有專攻，曾親自到長沙的馬王堆體察漢簡。他的夢想是有朝一日走出大師陰影，自成風格。

宋濤先生沒有山東人的高大。一雙不大、總隱在鏡片後的眼睛，笑起來幾乎看不見眼珠，我抓了半天才拍到他眼神里露出的靈氣。他愛笑，臉上總是洋溢著山東人標誌性的純厚、樸實的笑意。幾次交道打下來，發現人更是爽直。

宋濤先生的演講，以大量的切身實例，深入淺出地分享了讀貼的意義、體會和經驗。強調了讀帖必需是認真細緻的讀，不僅僅是看，也不是欣賞。讀帖就必須對每一點，每一畫，每一行以至通篇認真細緻地讀，對其中任何細微的動作，勾畫提落都不輕易地放過。會把靜的字跡逐漸演繹，使它動起來。想像這些痕跡，是由何種動作形成的，在正確的想像中運筆，再重複這種動作來臨寫，才有可能與字帖逐漸合拍。理解得愈正確，愈容易合拍，就愈成功。比如他提到臨習漢碑時，由於墨跡刻在碑上要經過幾輪的翻版，再好的石工也不可能將墨跡的全部'信息'刻在碑上。所以臨習漢碑時就要充分發揮自己的想像力去揣摩筆者的墨跡。還提到要想真正讀懂貼，其實是要了解貼子背後的故事。所以，讀帖要仔細，從每個字的間架結構，到行氣、章法，最後是整篇的氣潤，不斷地讀，不斷體會，不斷臨習。這樣循序漸進，就必定會有事半功倍的效果。

宋先生的演讲，让大家频频颔首。王天齊先生會後說了一句能代表大家心聲的話：“宋先生的演讲本身就构成一幅自然美丽的书法，让我受益匪浅！”。

接下来，王天齊先生跟大家分享他賞臨《蘭亭集序》的寶貴經驗《王羲之「蘭亭集序」的創作要素綜合學術分析》，將讀帖的境界延展到帖外的更高層次，由形質到情性 。

王天齊先生是《亞洲藝術院》的創始人。酷愛書法，寫作、繪畫無一不通。早年研究昆蟲，手繪昆蟲練就了一手好筆法。 後經營房地產奠定經濟基礎，並開始收藏。收藏有馬遠的《松聲琴趣圖》，北宋黃居宷的《竹石花蟲圖》，范寬的《鄉居流川圖》，元趙孟頫的《夜馬圖》，明朱亮的《八仙圖》，清乾隆皇帝的《臨董其昌山水圖卷》，近現代大師黃賓虹的《溪山圖卷》，傅抱石的《對弈圖》，張大千的《潑墨山水圖》等等。他說，博物館、藝術院校、畫廊做的事他不做，專做他們不做的事。

他和大家分享了經過多年研究、挖掘與 《蘭亭集序》有關的人文、地理、宗教、哲學、文學和書法等背景信息。王博士曾經對王羲之故鄉山東的人文氣息做了詳細考察，又多次遊歷浙江紹興的越王山，府山、會嵇山，大禹陵、東湖等地。他說，正如美國亞洲藝術院院士、著名書畫家劉克勤先生評論的，對於《蘭亭集序》通常從書法欣賞上分析大家容易理解，從創新的角度就難多了！但只有熟悉各方面知識的人，進得去又走得出來的書法家，才能對種種問題分析得當和融會貫通。

專題演講和分享之後，大家對書帖的臨、讀，又討論分享了各自的體會經驗， 宋濤、齊雅明、宋向陽等又現場揮毫為大家做了學書臨習的展示。

下午2：30 到5：00，活動不得不結束了。兩個半小時的時間仍然讓大家意猶未盡，就如同書法的修習永無止境。

Lt. Governor Polito Announces New Policies Targeting Human Trafficking in Recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness Month

Lt. Governor Polito Announces New Policies Targeting Human Trafficking in Recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness Month

New State Police unit, updated DCF intake policy to target trafficking

BOSTON – In recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month, Lt. Governor Karyn Polito today announced new policies to target human trafficking in the Commonwealth led by the Massachusetts State Police and Department of Children and Families (DCF). Joined by Governor Baker and members of the administration, Polito introduced the formation of a Human Trafficking Unit within the State Police, and improved interagency coordination and communication between the State Police and the Department of Children and Families, will allow Troopers to better assist local law enforcement officials in investigations. Additionally, as part of the administration's reforms at DCF, sexual exploitation and/or human trafficking is now a reportable condition regardless of whether the perpetrator is the caregiver.

"Our administration is pleased to announce these critical reforms during Sexual Assault Awareness Month and Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Month to target the drivers of trafficking and do more to keep our children and communities safe," said Lt. Governor Polito, chair of the Governor’s Council to Address Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence. "The council will continue working with law enforcement and community leaders to identify more ways to eradicate this epidemic, and we look forward to more collaboration with Attorney General Healey and the legislature on future efforts to end human trafficking in the Commonwealth and beyond."

"The buying and selling of human lives is an abhorrent practice that is still taking place in Massachusetts, and we owe it to those who find themselves unwilling participants in it to take steps to stop it," said Governor Baker. "I’m pleased to have the State Police and DCF work collaboratively to implement and create new tools to increase reporting requirements and target trafficking for juveniles as we work to rid our Commonwealth of this abominable scourge."

  

“Creating a dedicated Human Trafficking Unit within the State Police will enhance interagency cooperation and communication with the Department of Children and Families and assist law enforcement officials at all levels with their investigations of this terrible crime,” said Public Safety Secretary Dan Bennett.

“Protecting children in our care is a significant priority. This is another example of the Department of Children and Families strengthening its policies and furthering its commitment to child protection and safety.  We are now able track reports of suspected human trafficking among youth," said HHS Secretary Marylou Sudders.

“I am proud of DCF staff leadership on a federal grant that engages law enforcement and providers in proactively identifying and supporting children who have been trafficked,” said DCF Commissioner Linda Spears. “A collaborative approach is crucial to protecting children from these predators and meeting the unique needs of youth who have been victimized.”

“One of the most important priorities of any police department is protection of the most vulnerable members of society,” said State Police Colonel Richard D. McKeon. “This unit will be an important part of our broader mission to protect the Commonwealth’s children and teenagers.”

A new Human Trafficking Unit within the Massachusetts State Police has been created to specifically target trafficking cases involving juveniles age 18 and under, and will coordinate their efforts with the Department of Children and Families. While playing a supporting role with local police in smaller cases, the Human Trafficking Unit will collaborate with local law enforcement on the investigations of larger trafficking cases. Detective Lieutenant Pi Downsbrough will lead the team of three (3) other State Police Troopers.

A key change to DCF's new protective intake policy spearheaded by the Baker-Polito Administration is that the victimization of a child through sexual exploitation and/or human trafficking must be immediately referred to the District Attorney, regardless if the person responsible is a caregiver or not. With the support of a five-year federal grant awarded in 2014, DCF is partnering with county-based Children's Advocacy Centers to establish multi-disciplinary teams (MDTs) to respond to DCF referrals. MDTs are now operating in Suffolk, Hampden, Bristol and Barnstable/Dukes Counties, with the remaining counties coming online by fall 2018. The grant also provides training and technical assistance to each county, the MDTs, and youth-serving organizations, and assists with updates to DCF policies to include human trafficking and the needs of victims and at-risk youth.

According to the National Human Trafficking Resource Center, over 1,300 human trafficking calls have been reported in the Commonwealth since 2007—and a majority of cases involve the sex trafficking of adult females.  This statistic does not account for cases that are underreported, which continues to be a major challenge for law enforcement and state agencies, like the Department of Children and Families, as they seek to identify the drivers of human trafficking in our state.  As reported by the Support to End Exploitation Now (SEEN) Coalition, a program that partners with public and private agencies for child victims of commercial sexual exploitation, 70 percent of their referrals involve DCF as child welfare is identified as a risk factor for children who are victimized by trafficking.

Separately, with the support of a five-year federal grant awarded in 2014, DCF is partnering with county-based Children's Advocacy Centers to establish Multi-Disciplinary Teams (MDT) to respond to DCF referrals. MDTs are now operating in Suffolk, Hampden, Bristol and Barnstable/Dukes Counties, with the remaining counties coming online by fall 2018. The grant also provides training and technical assistance to each county, the MDTs, and youth-serving organizations, and assists with updates to DCF policies to include human trafficking and the needs of victims and at-risk youth.

The budget proposal put forth by Governor Baker in January includes funding in the Executive Office for Public Safety to create domestic violence prevention training programs for local law enforcement and a best practice toolkit for cities and towns. The Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 budget proposal also includes an additional $200,000 over FY 2016 to fund the annualization of four domestic violence specialists brought on in FY 2016, as well as a $93,000 increase over FY 2016 (to $4.5 million) for the Department of Public Health's Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) and Pediatric SANE Program.

State Officials Celebrate Agriculture Day at the State House

April 5, 2016 Declared “Massachusetts Agriculture Day”

BOSTON - April 5, 2016 –Today, state agriculture officials, farmers and students celebrated Agriculture Day at the State House. A collaborative effort between the Massachusetts Promotional Board, Massachusetts Farm Bureau Federation and Federation of Massachusetts Farmers Markets, Agriculture Day brought farmers and agricultural organizations together to showcase locally-grown food and farm products they produce across the Commonwealth and to have their voices heard by legislators about issues affecting the agricultural community.

“By strengthening our agricultural sector, we are working towards healthier communities and a stronger economy,” said Governor Charlie Baker. “I encourage all Massachusetts residents to support our local farmers and food producers and purchase Massachusetts grown and produced products whenever possible.”

In recognition of the day, April 5, 2016 was declared “Massachusetts Agriculture Day” and honorary citations were presented to the Eastern State Exposition (The Big E) in recognition of their centennial celebration, and Norfolk Country Agricultural High School in recognition of their 100 year anniversary. 

“Our administration is proud to support the Commonwealth’s agricultural sector that produces nutritious fresh food all year long, while taking care of the environment and preserving open space,” said Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito. “By declaring April 5, 2016 as ‘Massachusetts Agriculture Day,’ we hope to recognize and raise awareness of the importance of our many farmers and food producers.”

“Agriculture Day is a great opportunity to discuss issues specific to the agricultural industry, which is a vital part of the state’s economy and provides clean, healthy food to Massachusetts residents,” said Energy and Environmental Affairs  Secretary Matthew Beaton. “The current continued growth of farms and movement towards buying locally-sourced ingredients will help the Commonwealth’s citizens lead a better, healthier lifestyle.”

There are approximately 7,700 farms in Massachusetts maintaining almost 523,000 acres of open space. These farms employ some 28,000 workers and contribute about $492 million to the state economy. Massachusetts is ranked fifth in the United States for direct market agricultural sales.

“I feel privileged to be joined by the Baker-Polito Administration to recognize and celebrate our farmers and food producers today,” said Department of Agricultural Resources (DAR) Commissioner John Lebeaux. “Together with many of our agricultural partners, we gather to recognize accomplishments, identify challenges and prepare for a successful growing season.”

Agricultural Day awards were presented to State Representatives Keiko Orrall (R-Lakeville), Ann-Margaret Ferrante (D-Gloucester) and Stephen Kulik (D-Worthington).

“Our farmers work from sun up to sun down and deserve to be supported and celebrated in the Commonwealth,” said State Representative Keiko Orrall (R-Lakeville). “I am honored to receive an Agricultural Day award and will continue to be a strong advocate for the agricultural community.”

“As the daughter and granddaughter of fishermen, I have often times felt a kinship to our farmers. We should honor those who harvest and produce the food that feed our families and our Commonwealth,” said State Representative Ann-Margaret Ferrante (D-Gloucester). “I am truly humbled to be recognized for my efforts to elevate the status of farming and fishing families and small businesses, those whose industry built and grew our Commonwealth, for without them, we would lack the very basics of well-being, nourishment, health and security.”

“Today, we celebrate the long-standing tradition and dedication of Massachusetts farmers and food producers who work to meet the increasing demand of consumers for more fresh, local and nutritious foods,” said State Representative Stephen Kulik (D-Worthington). “This year, I am honored to receive the Agricultural Day Award along with Representatives Ann-Margaret Ferrante and Keiko Orrall.”  

“Massachusetts Farm Bureau Federation is pleased that the Baker-Polito Administration has recognized today as Agriculture Day,” said Massachusetts Farm Bureau Federation President Edward Davidian. “The energy and excitement surrounding our industry at the State House is infectious and we are looking forward to a productive year working with our growers and state representatives to strengthen and maintain our agricultural heritage.”

For the concluding reception in the Great Hall, culinary students and instructors from the Assabet Valley Regional Technical High School Culinary Arts & Hospitality Management Program prepared and presented a “Taste of Massachusetts” menu, using products donated from approximately 40 farms and food producers across the Commonwealth.
