Zhang Kunshan was active in domestic book circles earlier. In the early 1980s, his works were selected for the National Book Fair and the International Calligraphy Exhibition held in Henan. Since then, he has participated in a series of authoritative exhibitions 100 sponsored by China Calligraphy Association, and won many awards in some influential national calligraphy competitions. He has published monographs such as Zhang Kunshan Calligraphy Collection, Zhang Kunshan Calligraphy Art, Zhang Kunshan Calligraphy Theory and Zhang Kunshan Calligraphy Collection. , and wrote and published nearly a million words of calligraphy works, with wide influence. As a representative of military calligraphers, he was elected as a calligrapher of China Calligraphers Association for four consecutive years from 199 1. Deputy Director of Appraisal and Rights Protection Committee of China Book Association, national first-class artist; Enjoy the special government allowance of the State Council.
Zhang Kunshan's calligraphy is characterized by simplicity, elegance, strangeness and acrimony. Simplicity is the core of his calligraphy creation, which is manifested in his elegant, mellow and quaint works. His understanding of tradition is based on the inheritance and classicality of calligraphy, and he thinks that only by writing "ancient" calligraphy can we appreciate and show the true meaning of calligraphy. The great atmosphere lies in the spirit and tension of his calligraphy patterns. His works have an open mind and an open structure. Compared with the details, he pays more attention to the layout of the article and even the ideals and emotions expressed in his works, and has no intention of reflecting the leisure state of mind of the literati. It is more emotional activities to mobilize and inspire people's spiritual world, which makes people feel quite excited and emotional after blasphemy. As for Si Qi, it is his profound understanding and interpretation of traditional calligraphy. Strange is strange and easy, arrogant is broad-minded. Strangeness is spirit, rhythm and emotion. The work presents a vivid shape, black and white, bowing left and right, dark and dry, forming a rhythmic rhythm. In particular, his bold use of dry pen and the strong contrast between black and white ink make the font lines jump and sublimate subtly. Zhang Kunshan believes that books are expensive but unfamiliar, and students can avoid vulgarity, greasy and frivolous. The so-called acrimony is the ideal pen of Zhang Kun Mountain, which is steady, sophisticated, old and spicy, and it is the trace of line operation to a certain extent.
Calligraphy as an art, excellent works always infect and enlighten future generations with its enduring vitality, and its magical charm seems to transcend the boundaries of time and space. Zhang Kunshan's works, whether full of great works or short essays, are both ingenious and in line with the interest of natural Taoism, which makes people intoxicated with a lofty, heroic and broad-minded aesthetic realm and is the expression and embodiment of classical aesthetics.
Based on the study of steles, Zhang Kunshan is good at five aspects: the complementary study of steles, extensive knowledge and comprehensive cultivation. His calligraphy and calligraphy have reached a considerable height. Guided by the concept of stele study, taking the creation of stele books as the source, and on the basis of classicism, he boldly borrowed and absorbed the successful experience of contemporary masters, and embarked on a road of personalized creation that only belonged to Bai Ji. He entered the grass with a monument, the cursive script was simple and dignified, and the road was vast; With the inscription into the seal, bronze inscriptions have more ancient meanings; Input official script with tablet, and the lines of official script are more convergent and vivid; With the tablet, regular script has a simple silence; When you use the tablet to enter the line, the running script will appear relaxed and profound. The epigraphy of Zhang Kunshan's calligraphy, especially the deep excavation of calligraphy itself and extensive dabbling in five calligraphy styles, effectively promoted the realm style of his works and created and cast a kind of epigraphy with the nature of epigraphy system. So his calligraphy has a new and rich connotation.
Zhang Kunshan's writing style and writing style have always been exploratory. He did not prematurely put Bletilla striata in a certain situation, but gradually and orderly adjusted his style on the basis of deepening the traditional connotation. He also disapproves of the leap-forward adjustment of personality style, aiming to influence and change the old style by learning from the ancients, so as to wash away the sick end of creation and make the work more perfect.
Zhang Kunshan's creative thoughts are active and rich. While going deep into the classics and eclecticism, he advocated that on the basis of inheriting the tradition, he should constantly increase the intensity of innovation and strive to climb a new level. We expect him to achieve a more brilliant future of calligraphy through more arduous creative practice.
