金马开新岁，艺桥通四海

虽然常常看张文瑞的书法，却素未谋面，但透过其字，对他也应有几分了解，所谓“字如其人、如其志、如其学”是也。张文瑞“充乎于内，动乎于外，见乎其字”的风神外溢而引起了观者的共鸣。

张文瑞是一位“非著名”的书法家，说其“非著名”是因为他没有“誉满书坛”“百年之笔”之名气，也可以说张文瑞是一位“草根”书法家，但他却是一位典型的实力派。

Although I often read Zhang Wenrui's calligraphy, I have never met him before. However, through his calligraphy, I should have some understanding of him. The saying goes, 'The calligraphy is like the person, the aspirations, and the learning.'. Zhang Wenrui's wind spirit of "filling inside, moving outside, and seeing his words" has resonated with viewers.

Zhang Wenrui is a "non famous" calligrapher, said to be "non famous" because he does not have the fame of "renowned in the calligraphy world" or "century old pen". It can also be said that Zhang Wenrui is a "grassroots" calligrapher, but he is a typical powerhouse.

张文瑞自幼就喜欢书法，有幸的是张文瑞上学之前曾得到当地一位“老学究”的青睐，在“老学究”的指导下，扎实临帖、认真读帖。小学阶段，由于毛笔字写得漂亮，老师格外关注张文瑞，还常常给他“开小灶”。在老师的不断表扬和鼓励中，激发了张文瑞学习书法的兴趣，进步很快，书法艺术的种子也深深埋藏在他的心田。后来，由于多种原因，张文瑞并没有考取专业书法学校，但书法艺术的种子则在心中生了根，发了芽，并伴随着人生的跌宕，经历过百般磨砺，茁壮成长了起来，直至枝繁叶茂。

精专久长，延绵春秋，如今，张文瑞真、草、篆、隶、行皆有涉猎，尤以行书、行草书最善，偶尔也写榜书，其榜书以行书、行草书为基，能酣畅淋漓、气势磅礴，在此不过多解读，仅以其行书、行草书窥豹一斑。

从张文瑞的行书、行草书之中，可以看到张文瑞有着深厚的书写功力，那是百炼成钢的肌肉记忆，也是对多家字体、多种风貌积学厚养之后的融会贯通，主要表现于章法、字法、笔法等“书法之法”，并升华为“书法之艺”。

首先，看张文瑞的章法，虚与实，相生相合；浓与淡，交相辉映；干与湿，乍合乍离，笔画裹毫挥运，章法形散神聚，一派天机。秀逸处，隽永而灵动；典雅处，疏朗而潇洒。点画、线条、字体，或飘逸或洒脱或老辣或恣肆，统合一体，融成精妙，字里行间充盈着张力，仿佛呈现一种化境状态，那种化境状态是传统书法与现代书艺的结合，是书法神韵与心性情感的交融，更是修为、学养、技术、艺术的高度统一，挥洒自如，潇潇洒洒，仿佛若隐若现着哲学的意涵，如画、如舞、如诗，似儒、似道、似禅，却又不尽然，还有真意，欲辨却忘言，不能言其状，唯有品读，让人神游，唯有细观，让人遐想，余味无穷，妙不可言。

Zhang Wenrui has been fond of calligraphy since childhood. Fortunately, before going to school, he was favored by a local "senior scholar" who guided him to diligently write and read calligraphy. In primary school, due to his beautiful calligraphy, the teacher paid special attention to Zhang Wenrui and often "opened a small stove" for him. Through the continuous praise and encouragement from the teacher, Zhang Wenrui's interest in learning calligraphy was stimulated, and he made rapid progress. The seeds of calligraphy art were deeply buried in his heart. Later, due to various reasons, Zhang Wenrui did not get into a professional calligraphy school, but the seed of calligraphy art took root and sprouted in his heart, accompanied by the ups and downs of life, went through various hardships, and grew strong until it became lush and flourishing.

Having been refined and specialized for a long time, spanning the Spring and Autumn period, Zhang Wenrui has now delved into various fields such as calligraphy, seal script, clerical script, and cursive script. He is particularly skilled in cursive script and cursive script, and occasionally writes imperial edicts. His imperial edicts are based on cursive script and cursive script, which can be vivid and majestic. Without further explanation, only his cursive script and cursive script can reveal a glimpse of the world.

From Zhang Wenrui's cursive and running script, it can be seen that he has a profound writing ability, which is a muscle memory forged into steel and a fusion of multiple fonts and styles. It is mainly manifested in the "calligraphy techniques" such as composition, character, and stroke, and has been elevated to the "art of calligraphy".

Firstly, let's take a look at Zhang Wenrui's composition. The virtual and the real are interdependent and in harmony; Thick and light complement each other; Dry and wet, sometimes merging and sometimes separating, strokes wrapped in hair and waving, patterns scattered and spirits gathered, creating a heavenly mechanism. Elegant and graceful, timeless and dynamic; Elegant, spacious and graceful. Pointillism, lines, and fonts, whether elegant or free spirited, old and spicy or unrestrained, are integrated into a delicate whole, with tension filling the lines and lines, as if presenting a state of transformation. That state of transformation is the combination of traditional calligraphy and modern calligraphy, the fusion of calligraphy charm and emotions, and the high unity of cultivation, learning, technology, and art. It is free and easy, with a carefree and carefree style, as if the philosophical meaning is faintly present. It is picturesque, like dance, like poetry, like Confucianism, Taoism, Zen, but not entirely true, and there is true meaning. It is difficult to distinguish but forget words, and cannot express its form. Only by reading, can people wander and observe carefully. Human imagination leaves an endless aftertaste, indescribable.

其次，看张文瑞的字法，其结构、形态、姿貌，精神飞动，有对立，亦能和谐；骨法洞达，隽美之中，彰显着真功；意态奇逸，共性之中，又凸显着鲜明的个性，节奏感充沛，韵律感十足，乍一看，似有毛体书法的纵逸，又似有刘墉的圆润，细品，其变化多端的笔法、各尽其妙的字形，还似若带着《兰亭序》的隽永、赵孟頫的妍美、孙过庭的遒劲，字字珠玑，笔笔有法，又笔笔无法，有法与无法之间，气脉贯通，风神激荡。显然，这非轻率浮躁者所能达到的书写状态，更非“朝学执笔，便自夸其能者”所能达到的书写功力，而是融了多家之法，集了众体之学，经过几十年精修入境的锤炼，铸就了一家之貌的书法样式。

再看张文瑞的笔法，线条十分灵动，点画十分自然，入笔、行笔、收笔，或快或慢或收或放或开或合或疏或密，无荒率之气，更无浮躁之感，那刚与柔的交替、动与静的转换、那方与圆的辉映、欹与正的结合，无不挥洒自如，又恰到好处。说其点，如高山坠石、鲲鹏击水、长虹饮涧……皆不能言其真；说其线，似屋漏痕、似锥画沙、似折钗股……也不能道其妙，因为，一切都在情理之中，又常常出于意料之外，在情理之中的是法度，意料之外则给人一种意想不到的惊奇，很别致，也很高级。显然，那是张文瑞的独特风格，有别于传统，更有别于今人。

如果说章法、字法、笔法是张文瑞赖以名世的法度，那法度则恪守着主流，严守着正脉之道，而法度所蕴含的格调则更引人瞩目。当张文瑞以严谨而扎实的书法之法为基石，把人生感悟、生活情感、处世状态，以及所崇所养、所学所想统统融入书法之法，其书法之艺也就进入了佳境，实现法理互通、技艺生辉。无疑，这是张文瑞内蕴充实的自然外露，也是他一生追求的书法状态。

Secondly, looking at Zhang Wenrui's calligraphy, his structure, form, posture, and spirit are dynamic, with both opposition and harmony; The bone technique is profound and elegant, showcasing true skills; The style is unique and elegant, while highlighting distinct individuality within commonalities. The rhythm is abundant and full of rhythm. At first glance, it seems to have the vertical elegance of Mao style calligraphy, as well as the roundness of Liu Yong. Upon closer inspection, its varied brushstrokes and exquisite shapes are reminiscent of the timeless "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion", the beauty of Zhao Mengfu, and the strength of Sun Guoting. Every word is exquisite, and the brushstrokes have their own methods, but they cannot. There is a connection between the methods and the limitations, and the atmosphere is full of energy and spirit. Obviously, this is not a writing state that can be achieved by reckless and impetuous individuals, nor is it a writing skill that can be achieved by those who boast about their abilities just by learning to write in the morning. Instead, it integrates the methods of multiple schools, gathers the knowledge of various styles, and after decades of refinement and entry into the country, it has created a calligraphy style that embodies the appearance of a family.

Looking at Zhang Wenrui's brushwork again, the lines are very agile, and the strokes are very natural. The strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes, strokes. Speaking of the key points, such as falling rocks from high mountains, Kunpeng hitting water, Changhong drinking from streams... none of them can be said to be true; Speaking of its lines, it's like a leaky roof, a cone-shaped sand painting, or a folded hairpin strand... but it's not as wonderful as it seems, because everything is reasonable and often unexpected. What's reasonable is the Dharma, while what's unexpected gives people an unexpected surprise. It's very unique and sophisticated. Obviously, that is Zhang Wenrui's unique style, which is different from tradition and even more different from modern people.

If Zhang Wenrui relies on the principles of composition, character, and writing style to establish his reputation, then the principles adhere to the mainstream and strictly follow the path of the righteous pulse, and the style contained in the principles is even more eye-catching. When Zhang Wenrui takes rigorous and solid calligraphy techniques as the cornerstone, integrating his life insights, emotions, social status, as well as his admiration, cultivation, and learning into calligraphy techniques, his calligraphy art enters a state of excellence, achieving mutual understanding of legal principles and shining skills. Undoubtedly, this is the natural manifestation of Zhang Wenrui's rich inner content, and also the calligraphy state he pursued throughout his life.

放眼当代书坛，一切都太浮躁了，浮躁地让所有人都没时间面对内心，更没时间放飞梦想，即便名气很大的书法家也都追逐利益了，也都快餐式、机械化了，但总有一些恒心驻守者处静心于深邃之中，得大道于心源，踔厉奋发，追逐着崇高。张文瑞就是其中一员，他对书法的那股韧劲儿诠释出一种独特的精神，闪烁着光芒，充盈着魅力。这一切皆因喜欢，因为喜欢，张文瑞不怕投入精力，因为喜欢，张文瑞写得纯粹、写得真诚、写得深入，他把别人用在觥筹交错、高谈阔论上的时间统统用于写字，他写出了风姿独秀，也看到了曙光。

行文至此，笔者不由想到“高手在民间”这句谚语，而张文瑞就是这句话的验证。在众多东奔西走、四处走穴的书法家之中，不排除有高手存在，但民间也一定有高手。在藏龙卧虎的民间，纯粹而真诚的书法家鲜有机会走进大众视野，所以未能走入寻常百姓家，也未能名扬书坛。但是，因为“心中有足乐”，即便不欲人知，他们对书法的热情也丝毫不减，并为此“毕其功于一生”。毫无疑问，张文瑞就是一位“民间高手”。好在随着新媒体的不断发展，“民间高手”张文瑞被发现，其历尽千帆的求索过程也随之被大众知晓，他的艺术也因真挚情感而出圈、成为爆款，受到大众的热烈好评。

Zhang Wenrui's calligraphy work "Nanxiangzi · Dengjingkou Beiguting Youhuai · Xin Qiji"

Looking at the contemporary world of calligraphy, everything is too impetuous. Impatience leaves no time for anyone to face their inner selves, let alone pursue their dreams. Even famous calligraphers have pursued profits, fast food style, and mechanization. However, there are always some perseverers who remain calm in the depths, find the great path in their hearts, and work hard to pursue the sublime. Zhang Wenrui is one of them, and his perseverance in calligraphy interprets a unique spirit, shining with light and full of charm. All of this is because of liking. Because of liking, Zhang Wenrui is not afraid to invest energy. Because of liking, Zhang Wenrui writes purely, sincerely, and deeply. He spends all the time others spend on toasting and talking big on writing. He writes with a unique style and sees the dawn.

At this point in the writing, the author cannot help but think of the proverb 'experts are in the folk', and Zhang Wenrui is the validation of this sentence. Among the many calligraphers who wander around and explore various places, it cannot be ruled out that there are experts, but there must also be experts among the common people. In the folk culture of hidden dragons and tigers, pure and sincere calligraphers rarely have the opportunity to enter the public eye, so they have not been able to enter ordinary households or become famous in the calligraphy world. However, because they have full joy in their hearts, even if they do not want others to know, their passion for calligraphy remains undiminished, and they have dedicated their lives to it. Without a doubt, Zhang Wenrui is a 'folk expert'. Fortunately, with the continuous development of new media, the "folk expert" Zhang Wenrui has been discovered, and his extensive search process has also been known to the public. His art has also become popular and popular due to his sincere emotions, receiving warm praise from the public.
