Sha Menghai's Calligraphy in the Past 300 Years: "Calligraphy in the Ming Dynasty was extremely prosperous. Except Zhu Yunming, who is older than this article, the rest, such as Sun, are not in Dong Qichang. "
Zheng's book style in Ming and Qing Dynasties: "Zhang Ruitu absorbed the method of exposing the front, took advantage of the situation in the air, put pen to paper with the situation, moved his elbow to the right, folded the front tightly, and enjoyed both sides."
Zhong Mingshan's A Brief History of China's Calligraphy: "His calligraphy works are often exposed with pens, and the conversion pens are mostly folded and crossed with triangles. Although it is not like the garden force of the broken hairpin, it has a jumping and swinging posture. The heart is tight and tight, and it is more promoted. "
Chen Zhenlian's appreciation of calligraphy in past dynasties: Zhang Ruitu "rebelled against the traditional Wen Ya tenet, emphasized a strong sense of sharp jumping, abandoned the theory of hiding the head and protecting the tail, which has always been respected as a warning, and opened his eyes to future generations with his bold and unrestrained pen. This is not only a single technological change, but also a more concentrated expression of changes in aesthetic values. "
Chen Zhenlian s Three Poems on Zhang Ruitu in Ming Dynasty;
"In the anti-classical camp, his (Zhang Ruitu's) commitment is contrary to that of Xu Wei; He pays attention to the rebellion of brushwork, while Xu Wei intends to dissolve the structure. Only from such a comparative standpoint can we discover the historical value of Zhang Ruitu, who is irreplaceable. "
"And Zhang Ruitu's calligraphy, both in appearance and connotation, is very different from that of his predecessors. Sharp stippling and strange and stubborn glyphs constitute the main theme of the work; A strong sense of strength and surging momentum are refreshing. "
Xia: Our calligraphy is good at cursive script. His cursive script has studied Sun's Shu Pu and Su Shi's Zuiweng Pavilion. Calligraphy critics have always thought that he can get rid of fashion and find another way. Its regular script is like a cliff, and its cursive script is like a dangerous stone, which is very innovative. "
Shao Yong on Zhang Ruitu s Calligraphy Art;
Xu Wei and Zhang Ruitu have a strong rebellious consciousness in their subjective artistic thoughts, and they are opposed to relying on others in their creation. Although they advocated learning from the Wei and Jin Dynasties and getting rid of the "laws" of the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties, even if they studied the ancients, they stressed that they should not rely on the ancients, oppose following the ancient laws, and emphasize individuality and originality. In actual creation, they boldly broke through the traditional norms, sprang up suddenly and created a new situation. The Wei and Jin feelings expressed in their works are not so gloomy and literary, but bold, showing a kind of personality strength and emotional shock. Followed by Huang, Ni, Wang and others inherited Xu and Zhang's calligraphy thoughts, which completely stopped Xu Wei's non-ontological tendency. At the same time, they cleaned up Zhang Ruitu's excessively sharp calligraphy style, restored Zhang Ruitu's destruction of' Fa' to the nature and development direction of traditional Fa, and pushed the personalized calligraphy style of the late Ming Dynasty to a new stage, thus forming a complete personalized calligraphy style of the late Ming Dynasty. "
Introduction to Liu Zhengcheng s Calligraphy Art;
"The most striking feature of Zhang Ruitu's calligraphy is that the stippling is arranged one word at a time, and then the traditional circle brushwork is replaced by the side flip, so that the level and length of each word are separated, resulting in a sense of rhythm of shock and fracture, which makes the brushwork bursting out and imposing, coupled with the continuous' one book', forming an endless momentum. This can be explained by the artist's tortuous life experience, his separation from politics and personality, and his inner contradictions, conflicts and bitter spiritual feelings. Zhang Ruitu has a strong pen power, especially good at writing masterpieces, and his momentum is awesome. "
