Features: Examining Zhang Zhizhong's creations becomes even more precious. He calmly studies calligraphy, creates, and reads, without getting involved in any (frivolous) circles. As he himself says, fame and fortune are like spring green and autumn frost—they won’t come until the right time. I’ve always believed that artists should not treat their creations as mere business, because the soul cannot be sold. In fact, what cannot be sold is not just the soul. For those who wield the brush, abandoning tradition and classics without reason is no less than selling out calligraphy. And for the current calligraphy scene, selling out tradition and classics would leave us with nothing. Fortunately, there are still those who firmly uphold tradition and classics, holding onto purity tightly in their hands and hearts, preserving it within. They show us the inheritance of pure calligraphy and the pure beauty of calligraphy. Zhang Zhizhong is one of them.
