Achievement of the book realm to build the foundation of the contemporary

——Remembering the famous calligrapher Zhong Ruiting

Looking at the current book world, people always expect to create calligraphy from a multi-faceted artistic point of view, among which some people try to change the law and innovate, and some people try to integrate and reconstruct, but no one can truly understand the artistic essence and writing essence of traditional Hanmo, even if there is, it is only a very small number of existences. And this extremely bad phenomenon in the book world has directly led to the loss of the creative foundation and humanistic law that traditional Hanmo should have deeply possessed!

However, mr. Zhong Ruiting, a famous calligrapher today, faced with this double dilemma of calligraphy creation and development, he showed us a very appropriate and extraordinary personal art pattern! As a famous artist in the current book world, Mr. Zhong Ruiting's reputation can be described as famous, and his calligraphy is the highest in his own style, and he is also involved in hieroglyphic calligraphy and calligraphy, but whether it is cursive calligraphy or hieroglyphic calligraphy, his situation is nothing more than a literati style and scroll style that only belongs to Mr. Zhong Ruiting! It is said that God leads the book meaning, and the rhyme is unique!

Feng Wu, a sage of the late Ming Dynasty, once said, "Therefore, the book is mysterious and mysterious, and it will be worthy of divine encounters, and it cannot be strived for; Cleverness must be realized in the heart, not in sight!" Looking at Mr. Zhong Ruiting's many works today, you can find that his books are well versed in this wonderful way! Especially the grass, completely with the heart and the pen, with the love and ink, the pen line dot painting, sometimes in the free rich and fluent, sometimes in the jian in the super easy, gesture ink rhyme, sincerely consistent! Not only that, on the basis of maintaining the tradition of the Erwang context, Mr. Zhong Ruiting has given him a deep personality style, but this is by no means a disorderly change of customs, but a sublimation and reconstruction of the traces of innocence!

At the same time, in the creation of pictographic calligraphy, Mr. Zhong Ruiting also showed us his high degree of understanding and self-implementation of the fusion of imagery, a piece of horse ink, not only deep in the appearance of the external image, but also often overflowing with the high quality of the inner connotation, the horse shape in the work is made of brushwork and style, and with the ink rhyme to see the weather, the image of the horse is more vivid and flexible, and the strength is equal! Such a high work, it is indeed a common appreciation of elegance and customs!

Achievements in the book realm, the foundation of the contemporary. As a calligrapher, the depth of his attainment is not based on how much pen and ink skills he has, but on his soul absorption and accumulation of traditional culture and the afterglow of the ancients! Today's Mr. Zhong Ruiting is just such a famous Hanmo master full of traditional cultural heritage, in his own calligraphy creation history, Mr. Zhong has always maintained a scholarly mentality, aiming to be firmly rooted in tradition and deeply absorbed in the ancient sages, and it is precisely because of this that his many calligraphy works will have that distinctive book spirit! By not seeking to hear, but seeking self-purity, only the wise work, self-transcendence!
