Zhang's achievements and honors

He began to learn Chinese characters at the age of 6, and devoted himself to studying and specializing in regular script for more than 60 years, forming his own unique artistic style, which is suitable for small, medium, large and running scripts, and has a shocking artistic charm. He is known as "the first regular script in China" and has the reputation of "three generations of leaders and a generation of calligraphers".

His works have been presented to many heads of state and politicians as national gifts for many times. Some praised it as "Calligraphy is in China", and some still hung in the bedroom, winning glory for our country. In the lecture hall of China People's Political Consultative Conference, a huge character inscribed by Mr. Zhang hangs, which is well received by many audiences.

He has published more than 20 Copybook for calligraphy books, such as Deng Xiaoping's Speech on the Southern Tour, Songs of Chinese Righteousness, San Zi Jing, Hundred Family Names and Thousand-character Works. He wrote the world's largest Guanyin statue monument in the South China Sea. The lowercase silk version of Sun Tzu's Art of War won the Guinness Best Award.

Recently, the reporter visited this venerable old artist. Although he has repeatedly said modestly that he is just a "calligraphy lover", from his persistent artistic pursuit and great artistic achievements, we deeply feel that the older generation of artists are rigorous in their studies and open to the world. His works have become a model of contemporary regular script, and have been presented to many heads of state and politicians as national gifts for many times. Talking about his recent plans, Zhang said cheerfully that when he was better, he began to write the Diamond Sutra in fist-sized characters, 100 meters long, as big as a wall of the Silver Valley Art Museum.
