Shen's evaluation

If art works are the materialized form of human's essential strength, then calligraphy works show the skills, talents, knowledge and cultivation of calligraphers as the main body of creation. Because, when pen and ink lines are used as life words of emotional symbols, they will inevitably be traced back to the differences in calligraphers' mind, temperament, character and tolerance, which are all related to the level of rational speculation and learning. Only by strengthening theoretical research and study in many ways can we finally improve the philosophy from artistic intuition to theoretical consciousness, reduce blindness and contingency in creation, deepen the cultural connotation of works, and improve the taste and style of art. Therefore, calligraphy, together, is intelligent and knowledgeable. Throughout the history of calligraphy, from Preface to Lanting Collection, A Draft for the Sacrifice of a Nephew, to Song Sijia's post, from Ming and Qing calligraphy to the ink of modern celebrities, all his own works, which are "beautiful but unintentional", are bound to make the rhythm of change fit perfectly with the rhythm of poetry. In a sense, calligraphy is an aesthetic creative activity of cultural people and a complex spiritual labor. The taste, style and artistic conception of calligraphy are based on skills and nourished by learning. Therefore, Su Shi lamented: "There are poetry books in the abdomen." Great calligraphers in ancient and modern times are mostly scholars. This special cultural phenomenon in China's calligraphy history can explain the importance of learning and cultivation in calligraphy creation.

With his profound traditional culture, Shen consolidated his achievements outside the book. He is good at literature and history and appreciation, especially poetry. His poetic style, like his books, is solemn, grand, elegant and refined. Many of his works are poems written by himself. "The melting of poetry in calligraphy art is reflected in the improvement of calligraphy taste. The rhythm and lyricism of calligraphy certainly play a virtuous role in the pure poetry of calligraphers. " Seeing the combination of Shen's poems and books, pondering the wonderful changes of his lines and reading the elegant artistic conception of his poems can be described as the beauty of flowers and algae. After this double scrutiny, I entered an artistic realm of spirit, ink, mind and poetry, but I also felt that there was a breath in the cloud, which was the spirit of stone and book, the spirit of boldness and integrity. There is also a kind of Shen Feng, which is mountain style, gentleman style and scholar style.

China's calligraphy history is a history of inheritance and innovation. Only in this way can the art of calligraphy flourish. Wandering in the long river of calligraphy development in China, we are proud of countless ancient calligraphy masters who are full of reform and innovation spirit and have made outstanding achievements, such as Li Si, Zhang Zhi, Wang Xizhi, Zhang Xu, Yan Zhenqing and Huai Su, and are also proud that Shen and other generation of stele masters can rise in the calligraphy field for a hundred years.
