Seeing Ding Jinyu's cursive and lishu, it seems that through the ups and downs of the lines and the magnificent style of writing, we can see the awesome and respectable process of self-motivation and self-restraint, because there is a persistence that likes to be promoted to love and immersed in it, the sweat and painstaking efforts of hundreds of steel, and also the sour, sweet and bitter life perception and the attitude of the unity of skills.

Guan Ding Jinyu's calligraphy, whether it is a huge work, or a small piece, even if it is a list book fused with grass and affiliation, all give the viewer a super shocking power, as if with unparalleled penetration, breaking the limitations of time and space, impacting the eyeball, tapping the subconscious aesthetic instinct, and then stimulating the deep emotion of calligraphy aesthetics.
Ding Jinyu's calligraphy, the overall advancement, the momentum of the flying. In the layout of the chapters, the virtual and real changes, opposites, can maintain harmony; when the lines are rigid and soft, they are free and unrestrained, dashing without losing the law; in the process of combining points and surfaces with static movement, they are ever-changing, dangerous, and show the skill of majestic and noble. Lines, points, faces, and chapters reflect each other, as if there is no heart but a god shape, turning, turning, side, picking, pulling, condensing the critic's eyes of "long live the dead vine", "array of clouds", "snakes and water"... Eternal is full of thickness, subtle surging power, quiet and majestic, such as the vast, heroic... They are not enough, strong, bold, broad, harmonious, simple, lush, and cannot be true.
Calligraphy is picturesque, but also love, also scenery, the words are full of emotions, between the dot paintings, refracting the open chest, profound learning, that is the style of pouring out the heart, but also the realm of spiritual exchange between heaven and earth.
Cursive "Will Enter the Wine" excerpt from Don Li Bai
Ding Jinyu's calligraphy must not be the height that can be reached by bowing down under the door of many contemporary masters, looking forward to the fashion, his calligraphy is determined perseverance, hidden desire, the profound skill presented, and relying on the profound skill to freely produce a high-level artistic posture, with style, charm, sparkle, and charm.
In the impact of the economic wave, most calligraphers will go to Qin Twilight Chu to find a "shortcut", however, Ding Jinyu has been indulging in deep meditation for many years, tracing back to the traditional families, deeply studying the power of modern times, occasionally visiting several top contemporary masters, and then, chasing the rainbow with a pure heart, for decades without interruption, there is the joy of willow and dark flowers, there is the transformation after the struggle, and finally the calligraphy art of living alone is born on the road, full of Li Bai's heroism and excitement, Du Fu's emotions and realms, Tao Yuanming's pastoral attachment and pastoral zeju show their skills and condense life.
Cursive "Bu Operator Yongmei" Mao Zedong poem
Ding Jinyu copied the stele, thousands of times into the tradition, thousands of times jumped out of the ancients, to me write my heart, the gods will be the meaning of the sages, to comfort me, into the way of the first Confucianism, he brewed the "ink fragrance", but also drifted out of the deep alley.
