In the history of the development of calligraphy, Zhang Jizhi is a calligrapher who cannot be ignored. His main contributions are: inheriting the calligraphy of the Tang Dynasty, and exerting Zen ideas into his calligraphy, using the pen flexibly and freely, and finally becoming a self-contained. Zhang Jizhi was good at list calligraphy and Xiaokai calligraphy, and made great contributions to the development of calligraphy in the Southern Song Dynasty. At present, many people have learned his calligraphy and have appeared and entered the national calligraphy exhibition, becoming a unique calligrapher.
After the rebellion of the Five Dynasties, most of the calligraphers of the Northern Song Dynasty lost the learning mode taught by the former population, because of the frequent wars, the literati put down the pursuit of calligraphy, coupled with the invasion of foreign tribes, but also made the literati dare not blatantly study and learn calligraphy, which had a great impact on the previous learning mode and method, so the Northern Song Dynasty led by Ouyang Xiu, Su Dongpo and others began to explore and learn calligraphy, that is, the calligraphy learning in the Northern Song Dynasty was completely self-taught.
But many people do not agree with this, on the one hand, conservatives, who hope to study calligraphy along the learning methods of their predecessors, and on the other hand, they are innovative, and the influence of the dispute between the two schools makes calligraphy an object of "crossing the river by feeling the stones". After the invasion of foreign tribes, the calligraphy of the Southern Song Dynasty was more difficult, and the foreign forces all hoped that the Han people would not learn traditional culture, and the literati only had what they had learned before, and they also had a special love for calligraphy, and did not dare to write during the day, and only secretly wrote under the lamp at night, so that the original withered calligraphy would have an impact again. In a word, the calligraphy of the Southern Song Dynasty has reached a very depressed point.
Zhang Jizhi was a famous calligrapher in the late Song Dynasty, good at large-character calligraphy and calligraphy, his calligraphy was greatly influenced by Tang and Zen thought, and his calligraphy masterpieces include: "Vajrapani Ruoporomi Sutra", "Shuhua Yanjing" and so on. Its calligraphy style is: the structure is rigorous and dignified, and the writing is hard with the pen, close to carving, without any sense of warmth and elegance. Some people call it the "Song ShuDian Army".
His basic brushwork mainly includes:
1. Seal pen. His calligraphy works are written with a seal brushwork on the pen, especially his large-character works, the writing is calm and steady, and the use of seal brushwork makes the dot painting majestic and heavy, and has a positive atmosphere;
2. Xiao Kai uses the brush stroke method. The horizontal paintings of xiaokai calligraphy are mostly based on lifting brushes, while other strokes are mainly based on pressing pens, which increases the contrast relationship in calligraphy;
3. The penmanship is dangerous and fierce. The danger comes from the treatment of the pen, and the positive side of the writing is used at the same time, especially in the treatment of skimming and folding, the side pen is mainly used, and the effect of the spicy Cang Yong is more of a center stroke;
4. Be bold with a pen. This is the most obvious brushwork in Zhang Jizhi's calligraphy, without hesitation or hesitation when writing, with a confident pen, and the courage to move forward, the effect of this writing method adds to the strength of calligraphy.
Zhang Jizhi was an innovator who turned the tide in the late Southern Song Dynasty, revitalized the art of calligraphy, and spent his life changing the declining style of calligraphy, and he was famous for a while, and had the reputation of "Song Shudian Army".
