He is a close friend of Ning Ge's news front for decades. We have participated in the selection of works of the National Prefectural And Municipal Newspaper Journalism Award together, and we have walked into the Great Hall of the People together to participate in the awarding activities of national outstanding works. Although Mr. Jin Zhu is 3 years younger than me, he is more accomplished than me, and he is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He is a "three-habitat journalist" who combines writers, photographers and calligraphers, and is known as the "three brushes" of the press. He is a member of the Chinese Writers Association, the China Photographers Association, the China Hard Pen Book Association, the vice president of the China Dishi Newspaper Calligraphy and Painting Artists Association, the vice president of the Fujian Straits Minsheng Calligraphy and Painting Institute, the dean of putian honest calligraphy and painting, and the visiting professor of Putian College...

Han Zhang's ancient quality, and the time Shu roll
——Appreciation of Zheng Jinzhu's calligraphy works
Shi Feng (Famous Critic of Calligraphy and Painting)
Yu Shinan of the Tang Dynasty once said in the "Treatise on the Essence of the Pen", when he wanted to write a book, when the audience listened to it, he was desperate to concentrate on his mind, and his heart was righteous and harmonious, then it was in line with the magic, the mind was not right, and the book was oblique; the ambition was not harmonious, and the words were upside down! Now from the calligraphy works of the calligrapher Mr. Zheng Jinzhu, we can feel his heart and righteous moral style! At the same time, as a calligraphy master who is deeply rooted in the seal, Mr. Li's classical cultivation and pen and ink attainments have also reached a very deep realm, and those works created by Mr. Seal Li are even more well-known in today's book world!
Zheng Jinzhu engaged in calligraphy and seal engraving in his spare time. Seal book patriarchal shiguwen and Qing Dynasty Wu Changshuo, Wu Rangzhi and other families. Calligraphy creation pays attention to the power of the pen, with the appearance of the gods, the hand to chase the heart, and strive to avoid rigidity. The seal book is elegant, sophisticated, rigorous, park mao xiongjian, dignified and old; his works of lishu advocate Liu Bingsen's knot body and chapter method, tibetan bone wrapping tendons, including literary quality. Giving people a sense of power, or smooth, or round, or bright, or old, or strong, or gentle, is enough to show the strength of Mr. Li's pen. He is especially good at creating "tiger tails" and dry pen seals, which are very distinctive. He is a "four-habitat" figure who combines writers, photographers, calligraphy artists and senior journalists.
Looking at today's book world, there are many works of seal books, but if you carefully appreciate them, you will find that most of the seal works are not enough charm, ancient rhyme is not deep, some works are even more chaotic, completely out of the classical rhyme, this kind of at best can only be called "writing", how can it be called "calligraphy"? The reason for this situation is that most of the book-learners have not attached importance to tradition and classics, and some people have not even laid a good foundation for tradition, so they have gone to the so-called unique path and made their own antiquities. If you ask such a book, how can his works enter the country?! And in this kind of book atmosphere, there are still righteous people, they adhere to the ancient and legal creation path, the work to eat the tradition as the goal, but also to analyze the tradition as the source, now Mr. Zheng Jinzhu is one of them!
Brushwork plays a key role in a work, and if the brushwork is not deep, the glyph is not perfect. Therefore, if there is no deep pen and ink foundation, then all the cultural foundations and creative moves cannot be perfectly displayed, and finally become a paper talk. Therefore, today, in admiring Mr. Lishu's works, we can still see his solid calligraphy skills, and what is different from Lishu works is that Mr. Lishu's works are integrated into some of his own personality and charm. Mr. seal, the penmanship is sometimes curved and vigorous, rigid and soft, sometimes stable and stable, condensed and measured, the use of ink is more determined according to the momentum of the seal pen, the rapid length of the pen, the ink is then wet and thick, the two can be described as complementary, reflecting each other! In terms of knots and chapters, Mr. Is still seeking the elegant and generous side, the overall seal body is rarely seen in the shape of left low right high, and how deep it is in the middle, the knot body is also loose and tight, with extraordinary charm!
Mr. Jin Zhu's other book style is a book, and I can also sigh at the excellence of his penmanship! His calligraphic works are especially used in the ancient Yu rhyme and the hole of strength, and the brush line can be sent in calm and elegant, and the simplicity is strong. Coupled with Mr. Wang's perennial artistic skills and cultural accomplishment, his calligraphy works show a strong sense of modernity and literati spirit! The pen and ink are handsome, the lines are good, the classics are attached, and the book world is reproduced!
Looking at Mr. Jin Zhu's seal works, he is not satisfied with imitating Deng Shiru, Wu Changshuo and Liu Bingsen step by step, but well admires and absorbs the artistic essence of them, through his own continuous tempering, the characteristics of the stele such as pen and knot character are familiar with the chest, and then digest it into his own style, forming his own unique artistic language, so as to strive to complete the transcendence of the predecessors.
