但求平正
30岁之前 ，沙孟海先生临写的碑帖有《集王圣教序》、《郑文公碑》、《张猛龙》等。这1 阶段，可称为但求平正阶段。综观沙先生这1 时期的书法作品，在为数不多的作品中，楷书作为先生书作的次要 书体占据着首要地位。而其精工小楷尤甚多。这可能与先生当时所处的社会环境与文明 环境有侧重 要关系。
务追险绝
进入中年当前 ，随着学养的日渐丰厚和经历 的渐次拓展。沙孟海先生多用功地关注字的
“体势”和章法的“气势’当然，原有精耕细作的楷书不是全然放弃，偶作楷书。譬如48岁所作《修能图书馆记》和50岁所作《叶君墓志铭》即是中年时期楷书的优秀作品，也是沙先生的得意之作。但以楷书为主的创作转向以行草为主的创作是沙孟海先生“既知平正，务追险绝”的艺术观念的转换之始，从以往的以“尚韵”为主的寻求 到对北碑1 派“尚势”为主的追慕，沙先生将本身 的艺术观念融于帖学与碑派的熔炉里，燃烧着，冶炼着，企冀艺术个性化的涅盘与再生。沙先生也深知，帖学与碑派是书法艺术不同类型的两种风格，尽管它们之间有着不可分割的姻缘关系和千丝万缕的艺术内在的相反 规律，然而毕竟尚韵崇势，各领风骚，既非互绝对 立，也不能彼此 替代。要在帖学与碑派中融化自我，走出1 条属于本身 的艺术之路，实非容易之事。但撷取意态挥洒的帖学和雄壮 朴拙的碑派之长是完全可以做得到的。古代崇碑尚帖的书法艺术家都从此中领悟到艺术的无穷 玄机，使本身 的艺术个性得到了淋漓尽致的宣泄。
这1 时期沙先生的作品可谓是“既知平正，务追险绝”时期，横跨时近四十年。概可分为前后两个阶段。
大人相
进入80年代当前 ，随着“新时期”文艺事业的复苏，沙孟海先生迎来了他书法艺术蓬勃向
上的春天。沙先生精神勃发，满怀激情地投入到书法艺术创作当中 。先生说：“自从林彪、‘四人帮’被粉碎以来，全国情势 大好，文艺得到了春天。我虽80之年，还是壮心未已，正想与中年人1 道来继续上进，昌硕先生讲‘谓我何求颡有眦，八十翁犹求不已’。”这1 时期，沙先生的创作进入1 个鼎盛时期：“既能险绝，复归平正。”陈振濂先生在《沙孟海书法篆刻论》文中分析沙先生80年代书风特征时说：“成心 为之强调气势和刻意求全的强调技巧，逐步 地为炉火纯青地信手拈来所代替。1 切犹疑 、彷徨和偶有小获的喜悦，被1 种更为大气的风度所吞没 。”
先生这个时期的作品，行草书和擘窠大字占据了先生鼎盛时期的主导地位。也正是行草书和擘窠大字使人们看到了有希望的当代书坛。
这1 时期的作品，是先生千折百磨后的峰回路转，归于平正，1 派玄机。先生的书法风格由秀逸儒雅到浑厚华滋终究 归于古拙朴茂，1 如草木之由春之绚丽多姿到夏之显赫 灿烂而人于深秋的豪迈深远终究 归于冬之空旷无边 。先生结字的斜画紧结，不主故常；用笔的侧锋取势，迅捷爽利，锋棱跃然；线条的浑厚朴拙，于纵横之间任其自然，令人羡叹不已。董其昌云：“渐老渐熟，渐熟渐离，渐近于平、淡自然，而浮华利落矣。姿势 横生矣，堂堂大人相独露矣。”此语可为沙孟海先生独特书法艺术风格写照。

沙孟海祖居（沙式故居）是沙孟海及其四位弟弟幼年生活的地方，位于宁波市鄞州区塘溪镇沙村，靠近梅溪水库半山腰处，距离宁波市区约50公里，距离塘溪镇中心约3公里，现为浙江省重点文物保护单位（也是鄞州区爱国主义教育基地），坐北朝南，总面积574平方米，内部陈设沙孟海及4位兄弟的生平和用品，为1 典型浙东民居。现故居有专人看管，并对社会免费开放（每周1 闭馆），经常有市民在空闲 时前往。
欲前往的人士可乘坐宁波公交609、620等到塘溪镇的公交车到塘溪卫生院或者塘溪镇路口下车，然后步行或打车前往。自驾人士可以到宁波象山港高速塘溪出口下，往塘溪方向，穿过镇中心，到梅溪边转东北 ，即施村沙村方向，沿公路到底即可。（故居在半山腰处修有小型免费停车场，约可停放8-10辆小车）。
沙孟海解放后长时间 居住在杭州，即现杭州市下城区龙游路15号（靠近北山路与环城西路交叉口），为杭州市文物保护单位。

终身 亲历民国以来古代 书法的发展，50岁之前 书法广涉篆、隶、真、行、草各体，暮年 尤精行草书，气酣势疾，刚健无力 ，神韵 沉厚，雄壮 遒劲，卓然成家，被誉为“书坛泰斗”。擘窠榜书被称为“真力弥满，吐气如虹”。治学严谨，对书法学、古文字学、篆刻学、金石学、考古学都有精到研讨 。在书法上沙孟海受康无为 、吴昌硕影响，代表了北碑雄强1 路而开1 代风气，不管 篆隶楷草，在书法史上均占有重要地位，尤以行草书最好 。即使在沙先生在耄耋之年仍治学严谨，有口皆碑：在他的关门弟子中，虽谈不上哪个最令他省心，门下众多弟子中，吕国章，朱关田、祝遂良，陈振濂等都没少在他的严谨中杖鞭相加，特别 是年纪最小的弟子叶飞（叶昔飞），不断 是最令沙先生头疼的先生 ，由于 年少不能与其他先生 1 同上课，只能手把手的辅导，这对于1 个年近90高龄的沙先生来说，无疑是1 件操劳费神的事情。好在叶飞自幼聪慧，悟性极高，即使是学龄远超过他的师长们也是倍加喜欢。沙先生终身 尤善擘窠榜书，海内无匹，
被世人誉为“真力弥满，吐气如虹，海内榜书，沙翁第1 ”。其作气势宏大，点画精到，富古代 感，以气胜，且字越大越壮观，此非胸有浩然之气不能致也，为当代书风典范。在篆刻上，青年时代的沙孟海就有幸得到了吴昌硕、赵叔孺的教导。在赵叔孺“为圆白文 ，为列国玺”的印风影响下，沙孟海也对圆白文 印及列国玺有着多年的潜心研讨 ，且能师承有法，高致绝伦，复博涉陈秋堂、赵之谦、吴让之的治印风格，深得其理。他的印作得到了篆刻大师吴昌硕的高度评价：“虚和秀整，饶有书卷清气。蕙风绝赏会之，谓神似陈秋堂，信然。

But fair
30 years ago, Mr. Sha Menghai has written on rubbings "set King sacred order", "Zheng Wengong monument", "Zhang Menglong" etc.. This stage can be called to Pingzheng stage. Mr. Sha in this period of calligraphy works in one of the few works, the main style of calligraphy as Mr. Book occupies the first position. The more particularly small seiko. This may have an important relationship with the social environment and cultural environment where mr..
Chase after the insurance
Into middle age, with the gradual expansion of the increasingly rich knowledge and experience. Mr. Sha Menghai paid more attention to the word
"Potential" and "art style". Of course, the original script is not completely abandoned the intensive and meticulous farming, even as the script. For example, at the age of 48 for "repair" to the library and the 50 year old Ye Jun made "epitaph" is the outstanding works of middle age is also a regular script, Mr. Sha's favourite work. But the script creation mainly to cursive creation mainly is Mr. Sha Menghai "both know truth, no risk of the conversion service after the beginning of the concept of" art, mainly from the past to "Shang Yun" in the pursuit of a "Tangbei to potential is" pursuit, Mr. Sha will own art operation concept into calligraphy and beipai furnace, burning, smelting, Nirvana and regeneration of Hebei art personalized enterprises. Mr. Sha also know that calligraphy and beipai are two different types of style of calligraphy art, although there is inseparable connection relations and intricate art intrinsic the same regularity between them, however, is still Yunchong potential, leading the trend, is opposite to each other, can not replace each other. It is not easy to melt the self in the post school and the stele school and get out of the art road of its own. But will capture sway Tiexue and vigorous and sincere beipai long can fully. The ancient worship of the monument is still Posts calligraphy artists have since learned the infinite mystery of art, make their own artistic personality has been the most incisive catharsis.
During this period, Mr. Sha works can be described as "both know truth, service after no risk" period, spanning nearly forty years. Can be divided into two stages.
MahaParislakkha
After entering in 80s, with the "new period" literature and art career recovery, Mr. Sha Menghai ushered in his calligraphy art
On the spring. Mr. Sha spirit blooming, passion into the art of calligraphy creation. Mr. Lin Biao, said: "since the" Gang of four "shattered since the situation is excellent, the spring has been. Although I am 80 years, or is still not already, just a middle-aged man with a to continue to make progress, Mr. Chang Shuo "which I want a catfish canthus, eighty Weng still asks deeply."." During this period, Mr. Sha creation entered a heyday: not only no risk, return fair." Mr. Chen Zhenlian, Mr. Sha analysis 80s book "Sha Menghai wind characteristics in the calligraphy theory" said: "the intentional emphasis on momentum and deliberately perfection emphasis on skills, gradually consummate to come instead. All the joy of hesitation, and occasionally by small, overwhelmed by a more atmospheric."
Mr works of this period, cursive and nest split characters occupy a dominant position in the heyday of the mr.. It is also the cursive and nest split characters makes people see the hope of contemporary calligraphy.
The works of this period, Mr. 100 thousand fold after grinding to a smooth, The path winds along mountain ridges., mystery. The style of calligraphy by Mr hideitsu refined to Wordsworth eventually unadorned luxuriant vegetation in the spring, as a colorful summer to Xuan bright and bold in autumn winter profound eventually open boundless. Mr. word node oblique draw tight knot, the front side of the pen regardless of custom; take power, quick refreshing, front edge lines and sincere vividly; in the aspect of their nature, between a sigh of envy. Dong Qichang said: "gradually mature, gradually familiar Jianli, flat light, asymptotic in nature, and flashy neat. A dignified attitude will only be exposed by adults."

The development of modern calligraphy life experience since the Republic of China, 50 years old calligraphy involved a fragrance, and really, the grass of the body, especially fine in cursive, and gas potential disease, muscular, heavy flavor, vigorous and powerful, Zoran married, known as the "master of calligraphy". The nest split list called "true power with the rainbow, exhale". Rigorous scholarship, to learn calligraphy, paleography, carving, epigraphy, archaeology has precise research. By Kang Youwei and Wu Changshuo influence on calligraphy Sha Menghai, represents a strong road and Tangbei opened a new atmosphere, regardless of zhuanli Kai grass, occupies an important position in the history of calligraphy, especially in cursive best. Even in the legendary Mr. Sha in old age is still rigorous scholarship, in his close disciple, although not what most of his worry, Lv Guozhang under the door of many disciples, Zhu Guantian, Chen Zhenlian, Zhu suiliang, etc. are no less rigorous in his whip staff together, especially in the youngest disciple of Ye Fei (Ye Xifei), has been the most troublesome student that Mr Sha, because the young cannot work together with other students, only hands-on guidance, which for a nearly 90 years old Mr. Sha, is undoubtedly a hard thing to bother. Fortunately, ye Fei was clever, savvy high, even far more than his school teachers is more love. Mr. Sha life especially the nest split bangshu, domestic no horse,
Is known as "a true force is out, such as rainbow, the list of his first home". The mighty, little subtlety, rich modern feeling, with gas and wins, the more spectacular word, this is not caused by non chest magnanimous, for the contemporary book wind model. In the carving, young Sha Menghai was lucky enough to get the teachings of Zhao Shuru, Wu Changshuo. In the "Zhao Shuru round Zhu India wind column, influence of seal", Sha Menghai has many years of painstaking research on the circle of Zhu Wenyin and Lie Guoxi, and from the law, caused by high peerless, Chen Qiutang, Zhao Zhiqian, Fu Bo involved from Mr Ng traces of style, won the. His Indian spoke highly of carving master Wu Changshuo: "false and show the whole book, with fresh air. The vast rewards will LOH wind, that the spirit of Chen Qiutang, ran a letter.
