Zhangzhi calligraphy

Zhang Zhi's A Book is "written in one stroke", "like flowing water, plucking hair, getting involved from top to bottom, or borrowing words from above, making odd shapes on and off, and covering all the meanings". This is an incisive summary of a book by Zhang Huaiguan in Shu Duan. At the same time, he spoke highly of Zhang Zhi's cursive script as "the head of sages" and thus became the "head of cursive script". Zhang Zhi's cursive script has brought unparalleled vitality to China's calligraphy art, becoming famous all over the world for a time, and scholars are like a cloud. Wang Xizhi worships Zhang Zhi and has been learning from him for many years. He always thought that his cursive script was inferior to Zhang Zhi's.

Huai Su, the master of Weeds, also benefited the most from Zhang Zhi and Zhang Xu. Sun, a master of cursive script in the Tang Dynasty, also mentioned many times in his Book Score that he studied Zhang Zhi's cursive script all his life.

Zhang Zhi was born in a noble family, but he was "young and ambitious, and diligent in learning ancient times". He didn't care about fame, refused to be called up by the court many times, and devoted himself to studying. His fighting spirit of "learning from one pond, making the pond full of ink" has become a well-known anecdote in China calligraphy circle. Wang Xizhi once said respectfully that Zhang Zhi "learned from a pool, and the water in the pool was full of ink, so was I." There are 20 poems about Dunhuang monuments sung by predecessors, including Ode to Mo Chi: The ancients used seal cutting elements to make Zhang Zhi wonderful. The sage of grass is immortal and famous for a while. Shu Jian watches birds, studies ink and dyes fish. I am eager to be by the pool, and I am happy to talk about poetry.

In this way, Zhang Zhi was indifferent to Li Rong and worked hard to reach the first peak of calligraphy art in China.

His ink has been treasured by the world for nearly two thousand years, and every inch of paper has remained. His ink has five posts and thirty-eight lines in Chunhua Pavilion, which is cherished and studied by calligraphers of all ages. Therefore, the artistic spirit of Zhang Zhi's calligraphy still flows vividly in the blood of China's calligraphy. Zhang Zhi is also the pioneer of calligraphy theory, and he has written five books "Pen Xin Lun", but unfortunately it has long been lost.
