Xin Zhaokong-Introduction
Mr. Xin Zhaokong, whose real name is Yunjiu, 1945, was born in a scholarly family in the island city.
Mr. Zhao Kong's great-grandfather was a juren in the late Qing Dynasty. He is a household name in the countryside with his unique calligraphy art and rich knowledge, and is admired and respected by the villagers. His father was also a famous calligraphy master in Qingdao in his early days. He has contacts with Kang Youwei, a master of Chinese studies, and is a classmate of Mr. Gao Xiaoyan, a famous calligraphy master in the island city. Influenced and edified by his family, Mr. Wang loved the art of calligraphy since childhood and won many prizes in the early youth calligraphy competition in Qingdao. This is a true story.
Looking at Mr. Xin Zhaokong's calligraphy works, he is impatient without the slightest young people's self-confidence, but he has the confidence and calmness that he is used to watching storms on the cliff. His brushwork is full of self-confidence, fluent in pen and ink, natural and self-contained, without the disadvantages of affectation, lyrical and hearty, with a natural momentum and lofty meaning.
Mr. Zhao Kong learns from nature, attaches importance to life, attaches importance to traditional pen and ink cultivation instead of clay sculpture, dares to explore and keeps up with the times. Rich life experience and cultural accomplishment laid the foundation for his artistic path. Judging from the artistic conception of "harmony between man and nature" and "forgetting myself" embodied in his works, it is the materialization of the spiritual realm after the integration of subject and object that shows his strong culture and embodies his distinctive literati temperament.
