Excerpt from the internet, without my verification, for reference.

Zhou Huijun? (1939—), a native of Zhenhai, Zhejiang. Chairman of Shanghai Calligraphers Association, Vice Chairman of China Calligraphers Association, Vice Chairman of Shanghai Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and First Class Artist of Shanghai China Painting Academy. Now he is a consultant of China Calligraphers Association. ?

1962? Take part in the calligraphy class of Shanghai Youth Palace. He studied under the famous calligraphers Shen, Gong and Weng Kaiyun. Learn regular script Ou Yangxun, Yan Zhenqing, Chu Suiliang, Shangbei Monument; The cursive script began in Song Sijia and can be traced back to the "two kings". To celebrate Mi Fei's "Shu Su Tie", the running script was selected for the first Shanghai Calligraphy Exhibition held by China Calligraphy and Seal Cutting Research Association in Shanghai. Its book style is vigorous, smooth and lively, and it has its own style. Good at regular script, especially cursive script. His books are valued by Yilin for their profound skill, strong personality and outstanding style.

Since primary school, she has loved Minangong alone. The artistic character of Mi Fei's Shu Su Tie, with its changeable brushwork, dense white cloth and deep inside, touched her heart and made her excited. On the basis of the word "mi", she later went to the Northern Wei stele and Han bamboo slips, then returned to the Jin and Tang Dynasties, and then to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and finally formed her own style.

Zhou Huijun's calligraphy style: he is good at regular script, especially in cursive script. He lived in Mi Fei, from the Jin and Tang Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and learned from others. Its cursive pen is bright, imposing, vigorous and excellent in composition; His seal script is full of interest in cursive script, and his brushwork is sharp and vigorous. His brushwork is bold and elegant, and there is a stubborn atmosphere between the lines. ?

Zhou Huijun is a creative calligrapher. The perfect combination of reason and passion makes her works full and three-dimensional. Her calligraphy works give people the shock and impact of the soul, the rhythm of jumping and prancing, and the unexpected shape, which makes people unforgettable. Her calligraphy works are vigorous, ethereal and elegant, all of which show that she has freely entered the realm of "innovation" on the basis of inheriting tradition.

What best reflects Zhou Huijun's calligraphy style is her cursive script. Take the cursive "Wen Tong Shi" as an example. "The class is full of new narrators, pink and fragrant. I will always love you sitting here silently. Katsumi is an infinitely ordinary person. " The whole poem is 28 words, with a bright and magnificent pen, vigorous stippling and bold writing. There is a stubbornness in speech that refuses to give in to fate. It is this stubbornness that shows her character, her mentality and her calligraphy skills.

So, what are the characteristics of her calligraphy?

In short, her calligraphy has two characteristics: first, the pen is bright, and second, the composition is wonderful. Zhou Huijun doesn't pay much attention to the pen and the pen heart in his book, but he "should be skillful in lifting and reaching the realm of being smart in all directions and outstanding in five aspects". Therefore, her pen is like an array of horses, dripping and carefree, and her brushwork is bright, clean and vigorous, which is very Mi Fei's "Chinese calligraphy" flavor. But slightly different, long paintings are often full of twists and turns, with a sense of valley. This is one of them.

Zhou Huijun's book emphasizes "knowing white and hiding black". In the article "Journey to the Book Road", she said: "Words are composed of stippling, and blank is also a part of words. Only when the virtual and the real live together can they become works of art. Therefore, in her writing, she pays special attention to the layout of composition, and strives to "know the white and keep the black" and "live with the virtual and the real", so as not to let the words and lines be bland, and always combine the big and the small, the thick and the thin, the right and the edge, the long and the short, thus generating momentum and strength in strong contrast and forming a vivid picture from the scattered division of black and white. This is the second one.

It is precisely because Zhou Huijun's cursive script is lively, cadenced, dripping with joy, wonderful in composition, strong in contrast and vivid in charm that his style is outstanding, vibrant and full of energy, which is well received.

Besides cursive script, Zhou Huijun's seal script is also worth appreciating. Her seal script is often full of interest in cursive script, and her brushwork is sharp and vigorous. Her brushwork is bold, elegant and elegant, which is similar to that of Gu Zhuo. Her composition and layout are also unique, which shows that she attaches importance to the "big impression" of her works.
