Zhang Jiuyuan's Cultural Literacy

Mr. Zhang lived in the birthplace of sage Confucius and was deeply influenced by Confucian culture. Since childhood and youth, he has often wandered between Confucius, temples and forests, seeking the inspiration of sages and laying the foundation for his art. On holidays, weddings and funerals, people often voluntarily write Spring Festival couplets or elegiac couplets for their neighbors, which are quite popular among neighbors. In order to standardize, he also went to China Painting and Calligraphy Self-study University and Tianjin Painting and Calligraphy Correspondence College for further study, and was personally taught by the professor of Painting and Calligraphy College, which won its essence. Li Shu tablet, regular script Yan style, two kings of running script, seal cutting Han style. Because the method, the essence is high-end, and unremitting efforts have laid a solid artistic foundation. Calligraphy works have participated in many provincial and ministerial art exhibitions, and some of them have been collected by art galleries and art groups. In recent ten years, his running script "Lian Deng Ya Tang" has been collected by friends from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Korea and Japan. Some of his works have also been included in the famous works of China's fine arts and calligraphy. Since studying in Beijing, I have been studying official script and seal cutting with Cui Xiangming, and my talent has been improved. At the same time, I learn regular script from Mr. Yong Yang and Chinese painting from Mr. Liu Cunhui. At Chaoyang Cultural Center, I was also praised by Mr. Wang Xiaju and Mr. Liu Bingsen. Since the beginning of the new century, I have been like a duck to water, visiting famous teachers and friends all over the world. I improved my art and gradually formed my own free and easy style of combining rigidity with softness.
