In his decades of artistic practice, Liu Zishan has been diligent in thinking, brave in exploration, advocating tradition, and at the same time insisting on innovation. He has long insisted on combining writing, enlightenment and practice, taking profundity, acquisition, melting and transcendence as his own mission. He has been pursuing a majestic and vigorous masculine calligraphy style for decades. Liu Zishan's calligraphy has all five styles, and is especially famous in the calligraphy world today for his regular and cursive scripts that are strong, thick, grand, and artistically distinctive. His regular calligraphy styles of Yan and Liu focus on the steady and inherent rhythm of the brushstrokes, and the thickness of the strokes varies in order to create a solemn and solemn atmosphere in the form. His practice of regular script is not a deliberate imitation, nor a simple copy of the original calligraphy. Instead, he incorporates his own understanding, reveals his inner temperament, and expresses his own thoughts. Therefore, he can transcend the flat and wash away the sweetness and tackiness. , forming a realm of regular script that is solid in flesh and blood, magnificent in spirit, and complementary in movement and stillness. In the multifaceted world of inheritance and development, tradition and modernity, Liu Zishan has always followed a path with profound and intertwined traditional origins. His writings have long been immersed in Deng Shiru and He Shaoji, and can be traced back to Huaisu's legacy. His works have the strength of Liu Gongquan and the momentum of Yan Lugong, as well as Huaisu's wild and unrestrained style and the majesty of the valley, which are expressed with soft brushwork. Rigid, slow in and out steadily, in the rhythm of the lines, there is movement in stillness. If you taste it carefully, its lines are like iron wrapped in cotton, and the elasticity and tenacity are hidden in the strokes. Liu Zishan is also unique in his technique of using the brush: the tip of the brush holds ink fully, he moves the brush slowly but with urgency, and seeks stability in the urgency. He controls the speed in a moderate way and never deals with every stroke rashly. In terms of the way he uses the pen, he mainly uses the center forward and uses both forwards. From his point of view, it is true that the center must be guarded when using the front, but if only the center is guarded, it will not be able to adapt to the changes in calligraphy art. Therefore, when writing, he sometimes leads from the center, sometimes uses the side to gain momentum, sometimes advances with all fronts, and sometimes uses both side and center. In terms of composition and structure, he pursues the continuity of the spirit and rhythm, retracting and verticalizing, and verticalizing and capturing. Under the agitation of momentum, force and energy, he circles and reflects the belt, forming a strong visual tension.
