Zhang Yu's comments

Jade Yuan Hidden in Dragons ―― On Zhang Yu's regular script.

At the Eighth National Exhibition, Zhang Yu won the grand prize for her regular script, and recently published a monograph on regular script. Zhang Yu is the kind of honest person who speaks calmly, even in matters of great joy and great sorrow. Therefore, when he sent his block letter copybook Inscription of Ningguo Century Plaza to the editorial department, I was surprised at his high writing style. At the same time, it is the first time to see this name, which shows that the calligraphy world is really hidden dragon and crouching tiger. During the next few meetings, he mumbled, so I know that this person is good, not because he is the leader of a large state-owned enterprise, but because he makes people feel the power hidden in the source and the open-minded state. Zhang Yu adopted the method of "one family" as Liang Qichao said. The Chu characters in his works are calm and shrewd, and they see merit and sex. Gradually, they are neither easy nor flying, which is the most difficult thing in regular script writing. People learn regular script in order to learn the law and seek its stability and prudence. But after a long time, it is easy to be captured by its neat nature, and it lacks some warmth and agility, as if all ministers holding water boards are unsmiling. Therefore, over the years, it is very important to look at regular script, its regularity and its spirituality. Learning Jin and Tang Dynasties is a kind of knowledge, but in fact Kincaid injected the meaning of flowing water into regular script, but that kind of relaxed and casual still exists. On the other hand, Tang Kai comes from Weibei, and its purpose is to establish a law and determine a norm. Therefore, Chu Suiliang was the only calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty who entered the mode by writing. Song people inherited this tradition and it was a way to return to the golden mode. It seems that there is nothing wrong with using "meaning" to include Song books, so later generations say that Song books are better than Tang books. Mainly pay attention to the existence of the secret and real interest in regular script. It is from this perspective that the value of Changyu's regular script is unique. He took Tang Kai as the body, Song Kai as the use and Kincaid as the god, and created for more than 30 years. Its sincerity is really admirable. Focus on regular script, not focus on heart, deep chest, pen out. Once you shoot, you will be outnumbered. Seeing Zhang Yu's regular script shine at the moment, I feel refreshed.

Zhang Yu inherited the ancestral system and was especially ingenious in writing. Even small movements reflect the movement of the pen gesture, linking seemingly unrelated and independent words. In addition, I ran ahead and stopped smoothly in front, full of joy. This book is neither slow nor slow, and it is difficult for a master to do it. Therefore, Zhang Yuzhi's books have a leisurely style, a beautiful taste and a quiet realm. Su Dongpo believes that the written words should have the flavor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which is the result of both technology and Taoism. Skills are diligent, and roads are idle. Technology is luck, Tao is thinking, and dialectical combination can produce fine products. This is how Zhang Yu proved the artistic value of his works. Although Zhang Yuzhi's book is taken from the Songs of the South, after more than 30 years' operation, the face of the Songs of the South has been washed again and again, and it has its own style. I think Zhang Yuzhi's regular script will be even better, and it will stand out.
