The work is in the clumsy, the magic is in the life, and the victory is in the instability

To paraphrase the present, Shen Zengzhi is a model of lifelong learning: when he worked in the Punishment Department, he read through ancient and modern laws; when he was the prime minister of state affairs, Yamen Zhangjing, in order to deal with Russia, he read the history of Liaojin Yuan to the sky. There was once a Story of Shen Zengzhi's version of "Li Baicao's Commandment to Frighten the Barbarians".
Shen Zengzhi wrote the first volume of the Mongolian Source Stream Notes
Originally, the Russian envoy Kasini sent the "Tang Que Special Service Monument", "Turkic Ga khan stele", and "Nine Uighurs receiving the Sacred Literature and Divine Martial Monument of The Holy Literature of Vijay Khan" contained in the Russian Ratluf's "Mongolian Atlas", and the Russian envoy thought that it was impossible for Chinese to study these three steles, so he intended to study the Chinese of learning.

Shen Zengzhi's "Linwei Stele Calligraphy Screen"
Wang Guowei's famous passage "The Seventy Birthdays of Mr. Shen Yi'an" carried Shen Zengzhi to the heavens.
Wang Guowei rarely praised anyone, and after Shen Zengzhi's death, Wang Guowei even wrote in the bang lian: "He is a great poet, a university person, and a great philosopher, and he is a great philosopher, and he is a little bit of a man who speaks in his heart; for the filial piety of the family, for the pure subject of the country, for the world's foresight, a mourning for himself, and a cry for the world."

For Shen Zengzhi, learning is already a matter of self-amusement, so he rarely writes about it. Wang Guowei, however, was a man with a heart, and he recorded the contents of the conversation between the two of them, and wrote a monograph with his own opinions. Through his interactions with Shen Zengzhi, Wang Guowei not only read some rare ancient books from Shen Zengzhi and edited poetry manuscripts for Shen, but also through chat, he was inspired by many things and directly contributed to the writing of some academic treatises. Wang Guowei's "Interpretation of Erya Grass, Wood, Insects, Fish, Birds, and Beasts" was completed on the basis of the chat between the two.
Not only is the attitude toward writing different from most people's, Shen Zengzhi's calligraphy emphasizes writing with the heart, rather than simply writing the zigzag.

In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, when most of the scholars were studying the stele and depreciating the post, Shen Zengzhi melted the stele in a furnace. As Hu Xiaoshi commented: "The former is different from the ancients, from the ancients, and can develop the ancients; the latter is different from the comers, always come, and can enlighten the comers." ”

His disciple Wang Yu often recalled: "Shen's writing speed is extremely fast, the power of the next pen is also very heavy, and his turning finger is the most flexible, sometimes even the pen tube lies upside down on the paper." This avoids the drawbacks of slippery slopes. Shen Zengzhi's calligraphy often reflects the clumsiness and frustration of the Han stele, the lines are thick, the breadth is free, and it appears in place in the "instability", which is in place, as Zeng Xi said: "The work is in the clumsy, the magic is in the life, and the victory is in the unstable." Therefore, Sha Menghai listed him as a figure in the "Theory of Theology" in the "Nearly Three Hundred Years of Calligraphy", believing that he had "suddenly penetrated the mysteries of calligraphy".
Eight words of affection
Epitaph of Wu Yanfu
Wang Xuan often divided the evolution of his teacher Shen Zengzhi's calligraphy into two stages: before the age of sixty, "for Sun Aiting's "Zheng Wen Gong Monument", there were very few changes"; after the age of sixty, "the real accumulation of strength for a long time, once the epiphany, it was empty, and the changes could not be reversed".
Shen Zengzhi's "Cursive Wang Xi's Thesis Fan"
In the eyes of calligraphy critics, the calligrapher's word seeking the law, the painter's word seeking fun, the scholar's word has the taste of the book, the epigrapher has the golden stone qi, and the thesis scholar has a moist and plump texture. But only Shen Zengzhi's words are both, and he is good at its beauty.

After the Xinhai Revolution, Shen Zengzhi was frustrated with politics and began to live in seclusion in Shanghai, immersing himself in the study of various kinds of learning, although Shen Zengzhi did not have too many monographs on a certain discipline, many of his views and opinions were recorded in Shen Zengzhi's various manuscripts, diaries, and annotations.
Shen Zengzhi's "Lishu Pingdan Qingfeng Seven Words"
One of the things that has to be said is that the above-mentioned Shen Zengzhi has a collection of 300,000 volumes, and there are countless precious Song and Yuan periodicals, local chronicles, documents, etc., plus Shen Zengzhi's various inscriptions, which are even more numerous, which also adds a lot of difficulties to sort out Shen Zengzhi's relevant materials.
Shen Zengzhi, as a giant in the late Qing Dynasty, had the merit of opening up the sect in epigraphical cursive, thanks to his in-depth study of many disciplines. From Shen Zengzhi's body, it can be seen that today's calligraphers are limited to the study and exploration of calligraphy skills, while ignoring the study of education and the study of other disciplines. The one-sidedness of calligraphy for the sake of calligraphy has caused today's calligraphers to lack inner open-mindedness and nobility of personality. In this sense, this is also one of the important reasons why Shen Zengzhi should not be forgotten today.
