Guangming Daily Art Organizing Committee Expert Jury Comments:
Chinese contemporary art master - Zhang Zhiquan
The ancients practiced calligraphy, the secret book is penmanship, the mystery of penmanship obtained, either to meet a famous teacher, through the hand-taught inheritance of the heart and to get, or genius endowment, all over the tablet, secretly enlightened and self-passed. Zhang Zhiquan's calligraphy with a wonderful pen, thousands of changes, Shen and Yi correspondence, coarse and fine thoughts, interspersed with correct, astringent, through the perfect scheduling of the center and the flank, flip and hinge, one breath can be done, can also suddenly accumulate momentum, can be sick and sick, need to be slow and slow, through the smooth and astringent mutual push, so that the calligraphy lines have the rich form of natural Vientiane, guide it like a spring, suddenly like a mountain, hanging needle dew, thunder and stone! The beauty of calligraphy and images mentioned in the calligraphy is fully presented in his brushwork, and Sun Guoting can be described as a thousand years of pen and ink bosom friends.
This shows that Mr. Zhang Zhiquan's calligraphy, is the essence of the penmanship of the cultivation of the achievement, the penmanship, thanks to his diligent pursuit of the past dynasties, regular script to repair the face of the willow muscles and bones, but also means the soft elegance of the Zhao body, and then chase forward, is based on the two kings of calligraphy side into the line of the line of the slurry to hit the water on the basis of the construction of their own pen luck to write the virtual and real calligraphy philosophical system, so that the calligraphy in the vigorous shaping, the fusion of elegant and elegant book atmosphere, is not only we usually casually talked, but may not be able to get the "rigidity and softness". His calligraphy is full of strength, but does not lose the quality of the texture of silk satin, it is precisely because of the delicate movement of the silk and the power of the iron cone painting sand through the back of the paper at the same time has been perfectly shaped, this is the ultimate expression of the true skill of penmanship!
Zhang Zhiquan's Wei tablet calligraphy, the first impression is the original essence of the original tablet, the pen is vigorous, the strokes are like cutting, so the texture of the old tablet is like the texture of the old tablet, which is the reason why the Wei tablet has its shape. Looking at it again, his calligraphy is further contrasted with the original monument, and there are many new images worthy of aesthetic contemplation. The inscription is engraved, although it is vigorous, it is inevitable that it will be sluggish. Zhang Zhiquan wrote Wei Monument, and began to respect its shape, but the details of the law are varied, the penmanship is manifested in a square shape, and then the roundness is subconscious, so the writing of Wei Monument has been very well improved and strengthened, and the pen and ink meaning of calligraphy is more distinct, and the rhyme is vivid, which is the spirit of writing, not the stiffness of depicting the monument according to the stele.
His calligraphy is all repaired, and his achievements are Wei monuments. Wei stele is an important link in the process of official calligraphy, and its position in the history of calligraphy is quite important, so those who can achieve great achievements in calligraphy must be refined and deeply cultivated on Wei stele. It is also based on this understanding that the Qing Dynasty arose the style of stele learning, which became the path of calligraphy cultivation along with Tixue. It's just that Wei Bei in the contemporary calligraphy is difficult to learn, and the penmanship is endless, and it is difficult for anyone to be like Zhang Zhiquan's predecessors, who are talented and determined to learn from the stele and cultivate the Zhengda atmosphere of Wei Bei.
Zhang Zhiquan, pen name: Zhiquan, also known as Liangyi Zhai, practiced martial arts during his teenage years. He studied under two famous martial arts masters, He Guang, a fourth generation Bagua Zhang master from Louzizhuang Village in Beijing, and Mr. Zhang Ziheng, a third generation Bagua Zhang master from Shenzhou, Hebei (a closed door disciple of Master Cheng Dianhua). A few years later, he studied calligraphy under the guidance of Professor Lv Yunfeng from Beijing Institute of Technology and Mr. Xu Lincun, a librarian at the Cultural and Historical Museum, to learn running script, clerical script, and Wei steles, with a particular emphasis on Wei steles

Comments from the Expert Jury of the Guangming Daily Art Organizing Committee:
Zhang Zhiquan, a giant of contemporary Chinese art
The secret to ancient Chinese calligraphy was the technique of brushwork. The intricacies of brushwork were either obtained by encountering famous masters and passing on the teachings of the Heart Technique, or by being gifted with the ability to read inscriptions and understand them in secret. Zhang Zhiquan's calligraphy strokes are wonderful, with countless changes, corresponding to heaviness and ease, with coarse and fine attention, interweaving and blending, with a mix of illness and astringency. Through the perfect coordination of the center and side forwards, flipping and hinge rotation, one can complete the stroke with one breath, and can also suddenly accumulate momentum. If one is sick, they will be sick, and if needed, they will be slow. Through the mutual promotion and rotation of smoothness and astringency, the calligraphy lines are fully formed in a natural and diverse form, guiding them like a spring, stopping them like a mountain, hanging needles hanging in the air, and thunder rushing towards the stone! The beauty of calligraphy objects described in the book manual is fully presented in his brushwork, and he can be said to be a close friend of Sun Guoting's brush and ink for thousands of years. This indicates that Mr. Zhang Zhiquan's calligraphy is a cultivation achievement that fully embodies the essence of his brushwork. The success of his brushwork is due to his diligent pursuit of ancient calligraphy. Regular script, with its beautiful appearance, willow tendons and bones, also embodies the soft and elegant style of Zhao's body. Moving forward, he builds his own calligraphy philosophy system that combines luck and virtuality in his strokes, based on the stroke technique of the two kings' calligraphy, which involves turning the oar and hitting the water in the middle row. This allows calligraphy to be shaped in a vigorous and vigorous manner, The blending of elegance and elegance in books is not only something we can talk about casually, but also a balance of strength and softness that we may not necessarily achieve. His calligraphy is full of strength, but it does not lose the texture of silk. It is precisely because of the delicate and flowing reflection of the ribbon and the penetrating power of the iron cone drawing sand on the back of the paper that it is perfectly shaped. This is the ultimate expression of the true essence of brushwork!
The first impression of Zhang Zhiquan's calligraphy on the Wei stele is the original quality of the stele, with powerful and sharp strokes, resulting in a texture similar to that of an old stele. This is why the Wei stele takes its shape. Looking again, his calligraphy further contrasts with the original monument, and there are many new images worth aesthetic contemplation. The inscription on the monument, although majestic, is inevitably stagnant. Zhang Zhiquan wrote the Wei stele and respectfully honored its shape, butThe method of meticulousness often undergoes changes, and the brushwork is based on square and rounded strokes, with rounded strokes as the underlying meaning. Therefore, the writing quality of Wei steles has been greatly enhanced, and the brushwork meaning of calligraphy is more distinct and vivid. This is the spirit born from writing, rather than the hardness of depicting steles based on them.
His calligraphy has been extensively studied, and his achievements are outstanding on the Wei stele. The Wei stele is an important link in the process of the transformation of clerical script into regular script, and its position in the history of calligraphy is quite important. Therefore, those who can achieve great success in calligraphy must carefully polish and deeply cultivate the Wei stele. It is precisely based on this understanding that the trend of stele study emerged in the Qing Dynasty as a path for cultivating calligraphy alongside calligraphy calligraphy. However, in the contemporary literary world, Wei steles are difficult to cultivate due to their intricate brushwork. It is difficult for anyone to have the talent and determination of Zhang Zhiquan's senior to deeply study and cultivate Wei steles with a strong and upright atmosphere.
