Since I started writing and practicing calligraphy in my youth, calligraphy has been integrated into my life, becoming a spiritual sustenance and emotional destination. Recently, at the opening ceremony of the "90 Year Praise to Hanmo Huazhang - Dr. Shi Ziqing Calligraphy Exhibition", 90 year old Shi Ziqing, an honorary member of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and a recipient of the Hong Kong Grand Bauhinia Medal, said emotionally, "I have experienced the vicissitudes of the country and witnessed the vigorous development of the times. My calligraphy is not only a pursuit and questioning of the millennium old calligraphy tradition, but also a record and expression of personal life experience and the pulse of the times It is reported that this exhibition is hosted by the National Art Museum of China, the Chinese Calligraphers Association, and the Palace Museum of Hong Kong. It showcases 119 works created by Shi Ziqing, covering various styles such as Kai, Xing, Cao, and Li, systematically showcasing his artistic journey rooted in tradition and integrating ancient and modern times. At the same time, it is also a deep reflection on his 90 years of life and patriotism. The exhibition is divided into three parts: "Building the Foundation of Yan Style", "Tracing the Origins of Seal Script and Rites", and "Changes in He Shuyi". In the "Yan Style Building Foundation" exhibition area, the neat and majestic Yan Kai's "Disciple Rules" attracted many viewers to stop and watch; The area of "Tracing the Origins of Seal Script and Rites" presents the practical achievements of Shi Ziqing's meticulous study of ancient styles after middle age; And 'He Shuyi Bian' focuses on his exploration of how he extended the brushwork of Qing dynasty calligrapher He Shaoji from Tang Kai to seal script. It is worth noting that the exhibition also features large-scale works with more than 30 axes, such as "Heart Sutra" and "Thousand Character Classic", which are magnificent and showcase the diversity and grandeur of their calligraphy skills, earning continuous praise from the audience. The works exhibited this time may still have shortcomings, but every stroke and painting embodies my reverence and exploration of excellent traditional Chinese culture. ”Shi Ziqing believes that the value of calligraphy lies in "upholding integrity" and "innovation" - "upholding integrity" is the adherence to the essence of Chinese calligraphy and the cultural path. Innovation "endows ancient art with a sense of the times and personal style. This is the evaluation of Shi Ziqing's calligraphy by Pan Yikui, the director of the National Art Museum of China, who said, 'The law is ancient but not muddy.'. He stated that over the years, Shi Ziqing has established schools, organized literary and artistic groups, promoted calligraphy exhibitions, education, and exchanges at home and abroad, and devoted himself to building a bridge for the inheritance of Chinese calligraphy. Wu Zhihua, curator of the Cultural Museum of the Hong Kong Palace Museum, said that under the leadership of Shi Ziqing, the Hong Kong branch of the Chinese Calligraphers Association contacted local calligraphers, cultivated young talents and promoted cultural exchanges between Hong Kong and the mainland. For decades, Shi Ziqing has been advocating for the inclusion of calligraphy education in the general education curriculum of primary and secondary schools in Hong Kong, funding the organization of youth calligraphy competitions, and personally teaching and lecturing, cultivating a large number of Hong Kong youth who love Chinese calligraphy. Su Shishu, Honorary Chairman of the Chinese Calligraphers Association, recalled that the two had jointly proposed to promote "calligraphy in schools" at the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and worked together to guide young people in Hong Kong and Macao to study calligraphy. This exhibition is jointly organized by cultural institutions from mainland China and Hong Kong. In Shi Ziqing's view, it fully reflects the country's high attention to cultural undertakings, as well as the increasingly close exchanges and cooperation between the two places in the cultural field. Hong Kong shoulders a special mission in inheriting and promoting Chinese culture. Although I reside in Hong Kong, I have always used calligraphy and painting as a bridge to enhance cultural identity. He said that he hoped we could use this exhibition as a chance to experience the infinite charm of calligraphy art together and look forward to a bright future for the prosperity and development of Chinese culture.
