The fate between calligraphy art and Jiang Ze is natural. His parents were born in Class 1, South China in 1960s. His father is a well-known calligrapher in the province, and his mother can draw an elegant and colorful flower-and-bird painting. According to the traditional family concept, it can be said that it is a scholarly family. In this family atmosphere, how could he not like calligraphy? Jiang Ze studied calligraphy under the enlightenment of his father since childhood, and his strict statutes and "strict ancient" brushwork aesthetics laid a solid foundation for him. In China's traditional art aesthetics, art and technology are integrated. In Oracle Bone Inscriptions, "art" is the technology of transplanting rice by hand. Therefore, the "technical approach" must go through a rigorous technical training process in order to achieve the ideal state of "handy".
The brushwork is the aesthetic core of China's calligraphy, so Zhao Mengfu said that "it is not easy to use a pen through the ages". This seemingly simple form of expression contains complex psychological mechanism. "Getting the message" and "being handy" can't be achieved overnight. It takes a long process of gradual enlightenment to cultivate one's mind and cultivate one's nature. Therefore, Jiang Ze took calligraphy as a lifelong hobby with a normal heart, and adjusted his work and calligraphy creation to a certain edge of time and space, so that he could surpass himself and utilitarianism. Cover up some fashion interference and improve your language environment. He doesn't stick to a certain school or a certain style of calligraphy, but pursues the aesthetic spirit of traditional calligraphy, which is moderate and elegant, and looks forward to a spiritual release. Therefore, he can wander in the eternal artistic time and space, or trace back to the Qin and Han Dynasties, strengthen his bones and muscles in the stone atmosphere of Qin, Han and good kings, or go in and out of Wei, Jin, Tang and Song Dynasties to have a pen-and-ink dialogue with Zhong You, Wang Xizhi, Yan and Su Dongpo. The aesthetic style of "no provocation, no persistence, no care about teaching" gradually emerged in the national exhibition.
Jiang Ze is generous and enthusiastic. Do things methodically, decisively and concisely. Therefore, he can attract a large number of talented young people in Luo Zhi. His "Pingxintang" used to be an elegant gathering place for painters and friends. In 2006, everyone established the Changzhou Calligraphy and Painting Art Promotion Association and elected him as its president. This team is very cohesive and practical. In 2007, he planned and organized the "First Xincheng Cup Painting and Calligraphy Grand Prix", which made the art of painting and calligraphy an instant hit in Changzhou. No matter the scale, quality of works or social impact, it is unprecedented. Not only did it build a platform for cultural, artistic and economic interaction, but it also found a large number of new people in painting and calligraphy, which was well received by city leaders and fellow travelers. Even Gongda Yan, vice chairman of the China Calligraphers Association, and Song Yulin, president of the Provincial Academy of Chinese Painting, spoke highly of the event. Recently, Changzhou Painting School Research Committee was established. Jiang Ze takes the revitalization of local culture as his own responsibility, and will lead a group of people to carry out academic research and compile Changzhou painting school, aiming at excavating and sorting out Changzhou painting school represented by Yunnan Tian, inheriting and carrying forward excellent traditional culture, cultivating and supporting contemporary Changzhou painting school, and mobilizing the whole society to create new cultural business cards.
Judging from the 30-year history of contemporary calligraphy, the art of calligraphy is still in a confused stage. Although the so-called "visual impact" and "popular calligraphy style" can reflect the restless status of contemporary people, they cannot represent the level of calligraphy art. The development of calligraphy in just a few decades is only a drop in the ocean in the long river of history.
