The more than 60 works in this exhibition cover the five masterpieces of true, grass, li, seal and line, reflecting the integration of Mr. Xuan Jiaxin's calligraphy; high ancient elegance, ancient and modern; majestic and exquisite, calm and ethereal. Xuan Jiaxin's oracle bone writing, not imitation, but the use of scattered plates and cursive brush strokes to change the ancient people's method of drawing gourds in the same way, carried out artistic improvement, not only preserved the basic characteristics of the oracle bone glyph, thus enriching the change of glyphs, increasing the penmanship and charm of the oracle bone calligraphy, rich in the atmosphere of the times. When he wrote the big seal and the small seal, he increased the thickness and lightness of the pen and ink, and the font structure was established by his aesthetic standards, and the creative changes were made, which was refreshing and revealed a fresh breath in the simplicity. Xuan Jiaxin's Lishu, on the basis of the Han stele, also refers to the Qin and Han Jian and the inscriptions, and also integrates the artistic conceptions of the Qing dynasty Zheng Gukou, Yi Bingshou, Jin Nong, Chen Mansheng, and He Shaoji. It has both a dignified and elegant and simple and thick feeling, forming a quaint and unique style.

Xuan Jiaxin's calligraphy, from Tang Kai to spy on Wei and Jin, integrates the characteristics of the Northern Monument, and is both strictly disciplined and not law-bound, especially the square brush of the outer extension, giving the dot painting a strong and vigorous rhyme. Xuan Jiaxin's grass, born in erwang, Zhang Xu's "Four Ancient Poems", and Huai Su's "Self-Narration Post", turns and draws threads, echoes up and down, and looks left and right, although it is not ostentatious but moving. On the basis of "Urgent Chapter", "Ode to the Teacher", and "Ping Fu Ti", Xuan Jiaxin's Zhang Cao absorbed the fluent and convenient writing method of Sun Guoting's "Book Genealogy", which was rich in change in structure, simple, dignified and subtle, with many strokes, although the strokes were relevant, but there was a degree of law, and the characters were independent and introverted. Horizontal, pinch, dot painting more than the waves, the whole breath is simple, warm, calm and painful, vertical and horizontal nature. The pen is strong and strong, the change is unified, its character knot is slightly flat, the words are not involved, the round pen is circling, the pen pursues rich pen and ink changes, although the pen has a short dew, but the overall is still introverted and gentle, and there is a seal legacy. In terms of the styling beauty of the ancient Wenqi characters, he was ingenious and established a very different custom of his own chapter grass. All this is not only due to his neutral, peaceful, gentle and frugal nature, which is no different from the courtesy of laymen, but also a unique personal style gradually formed in his art without deliberately building on personality. His works do not have a strong visual impact, but they give people a harmonious and brilliant spiritual appeal. Mr. Xuan Jiaxin's unique aesthetic concept of calligraphy, the concept of calligraphy that keeps pace with the times and the diligent pursuit of culture have made Mr. Xuan Jiaxin famous at home and abroad.
Xuan Jiaxin exhibits calligraphy on the spot
Mr. Xuan Jiaxin said: "Changzhou is an important town of Jiangnan culture. This time when I came to Changzhou, a humanistic atmosphere swept over me. Mr. Gong Zizhen, a famous thinker and poet of the Qing Dynasty, praised Changzhou for 'the famous people in the world have tribes, and there is no such thing as Chang Pi in the southeast'. This is a true portrayal of the phenomenon of a considerable number of celebrities gathering in Changzhou, which reflects the historical outlook and reality of Changzhou's large number of celebrities and cultural prosperity. Mr. Liu Haisu, Mr. Xie Zhiliu and Ms. Wu Qingxia, who are familiar with the Haipai calligraphy and painting, were all born in Changzhou. This calligraphy tour exhibition can be held in Changzhou, but also hope to receive the "aura" here, so that Changzhou's "humanistic atmosphere" gives me more inspiration and creative passion. Therefore, I hope that all my friends will criticize and correct my works and teach them.
