Features: The "Cui Suiliang Yan Holy Teaching Order" written by Zhang Yushu is characterized by its dynamic and lively brushwork, graceful and subtle curves. The interwoven silk threads and mutual responses are truly miraculous, revealing Zhang Yushu's profound foundation in calligraphy. Although Cui Suiliang's script is technically regular script, it carries the essence of running script, allowing Zhang Yushu to infuse it with a sense of dynamic beauty. Combined with Zhang Yushu's strong modeling skills and realistic style, he successfully captures the flowing and effortless elegance of Cui Suiliang's calligraphy.
As we all know, the hallmark of running script is "moving between stillness," like a clear stream flowing gently and steadily, moving where it should and stopping where it cannot. Thus, the ancients described running script as: "Running script is neither cursive nor regular; it deviates from squareness and embraces roundness, existing between the extremes. The spirit soars freely, transcending and wandering gracefully. It adapts to circumstances, following the path of convenience. Like the wind and rain scattering, it blooms with, enriching the brushwork. In the midst of testing the form and momentum, it is truly the epitome of elegance."
Among regular script, Cui Suiliang best embodies this flowing beauty. Zhang Yushu not only accurately grasps the characteristics of Cui Suiliang's calligraphy—such as its detailed brushwork, distinct structure, natural elegance, and harmonious balance of motion and stillness—but also maintains adherence to rules and conventions, demonstrating mastery in all eight principles of calligraphy. His brushwork is lively and dynamic, making this a rare and exceptional work.
Zhang Yushu's collection serves as a bridge for beginners, offering significant value in understanding the mysteries of the "Cui Suiliang Yan Holy Teaching Order."
