In today's book world, regular script is facing a relatively embarrassing situation. Throughout the previous national exhibitions, the probability of winning the regular script is very small, and the quality of the award-winning regular script is not too high. I believe that no one will reject such a consensus. However, in 2013, in the first national regular script exhibition, we saw some different regular script works, among which Xu Chaojiang's works were the most prominent. As a person who is famous for his regular script "Yi Zhan", his writing is very individual, his personality is very distinct, thin and skinny, and slightly "Qi Gong Body" penmanship. Next, let's take a look at his calligraphy works.
When Xu Chaojiang learned calligraphy, he took Ouyang Xunkaishu as his ancestor, and in his long-term practice, he integrated the aesthetics of the times and the brushwork of Lu Zhongnan's Kaishu, forming a new look. His regular script is both rigorous and gentle, presenting a fresh and natural atmosphere. His calligraphy is amazing, inheriting the ancient method and skillfully integrating the brushwork of "Qi Gong style". His lines are exquisite, his dots are fine, his relationships are harmonious and stable, and they are closely connected with each other, full of freshness.
Xu Chaojiang's works undoubtedly have a certain help and influence on our aesthetics. In today's environment where regular script is neglected, it is very gratifying to see such excellent regular script works. In the same way, his writings give a sense of freshness. What are your views and opinions on Xu Chaojiang's calligraphy? Feel free to share your views and insights and discuss them together.
