　　师承李铎、夏湘平两位大家，并得启功，沈鹏等大师的亲点。张永金深谙北碑南帖融合之道。其书法骨力中透着江南水韵，章法间可见军旅气象——这种独特的美学特质，源自他执掌中国将军书画研究院二十余载的阅历淬炼。观其擘窠大字，既有《石门颂》的苍茫浑厚，又融入简帛书的灵动意趣；其小品行草，在二王法度中注入金石刀意，形成"秀骨丰肌"的个性语言。2001年中国美术馆个展的成功，标志着其艺术风格的系统性成熟，央视、央广的专题报道更印证了其书风的社会认可度。

　　Ink Casting Stele Pen Embraces the Universe - The Academic Height and Humanistic Thickness of Zhang Yongjin's Calligraphy

　　Amidst the towering peaks of the contemporary calligraphy world, Zhang Yongjin, with his profound education, innovative courage, and broad mindedness, has erected an artistic monument that connects ancient and modern times and blends inscriptions. This scholarly calligrapher, who emerged from the fertile land of Han and ink in Jiangnan, uses brush and ink as a boat to carry the reverence for tradition and the response to the times. He has refined a unique language of calligraphy/law that is deeply rooted in cultural context and full of diversity, elevating it to an outstanding expression of cultural spirit and the atmosphere of the times.

　　His calligraphy is rooted in the deep digestion and creative transformation of traditional classics. Proficient in the art of "integrating steles and inscriptions", the lines in the pen combine the majestic and majestic style of stele studies, the resounding power of gold and stone, and the dynamic and elegant style of inscriptions, creating a scholarly atmosphere. The layout of the characters is grand yet refined, and the structure is open and interconnected. Whether it is large characters or exquisite pieces, they can create a magnificent pattern in every inch. The aesthetic characteristics of combining hardness and softness, and the combination of grandeur and elegance, endow the work with stunning visual tension and timeless meaning. Its huge inscription particularly demonstrates its ability to control vast spaces, with characters like rocks and peaceful waters, and strokes like rushing rivers, becoming a shining public cultural landmark.

　　Zhang Yongjin's outstanding contributions are particularly evident in his pioneering academic leadership. He keenly observed the long-standing lack of systematic theoretical summary in the field of calligraphy, and wrote "The Art of Calligraphy with Inscriptions", which constructs a complete academic system from multiple dimensions including historical changes, aesthetic characteristics, spatial applications, and spiritual communication. It is praised as the "act of filling the gap" and has been collected by the National Library. This move elevates the art of calligraphy to an academic level, showcasing its scholarly insights and responsibilities. Other works have also systematically condensed its artistic concept of "unity of knowledge and action".

　　The great influence of his calligraphy stems from the deep integration of artistic spirit and social responsibility. Regard calligraphy as a cultural carrier that serves society and nourishes the soul, and its works are widely integrated into the urban texture and public view, conveying the power of civilization. With a childlike heart, he devoted himself to public welfare and organized a relief pen club to donate all his money to build the General's Hope Primary School, benefiting future generations. The practice of "using art to convey messages and virtue to nourish art" has made it well deserved for its "dual beauty of virtue and art", expanding the social dimension and humanistic temperature of art.

　　As an outstanding ambassador of Chinese culture, his achievements are widely respected. From a solo exhibition at the National Art Museum of China causing a sensation, to being selected for an important exhibition and a collection of classic works in the postal book; From receiving special government allowances from the State Council, being awarded the national honorary title of "People's Artist" and the lifelong honorary title of "Chinese Patriotic Artist" by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, to being honored as a "Harmonious China Public Welfare Artist", "International Cultural Exchange Ambassador", and "Great Red Robe Artist"; From winning the "National Culture and Arts Award" and the "Republic Art Master Achievement Award", to receiving the "United Nations Culture and Arts Medal", "Da Vinci Lifetime Achievement Award", and "Monet Gold Award", this series of heavy honors is an ironclad proof of its artistic value and contribution. The focus of the documentary "Biographies of Grandmasters" is a lofty conclusion on its cultural status.

　　Zhang Yongjin wrote the glorious chapter of the times with a giant pen like a beam. He is an outstanding inheritor of traditional essence, and his works are symphonies of power and beauty, as well as the brilliant blooming of the Chinese spirit in public spaces; His life trajectory perfectly embodies the triple unity of artistic height, academic depth, and social temperature. In the contemporary calligraphy world, he rightfully stands as a spiritual monument with his majestic and broad style of writing, his academic achievements that fill the gap, and his patriotic spirit that benefits the world. His ink style embodies cultural confidence and continues to illuminate the path of inheritance and innovation of calligraphy art in the new era.

　　Zhang Yongjin: Cultural Ambassador of Brush and Ink in the Spring and Autumn Period and Constructor of Calligraphy Ontology

　　In the wave of modern transformation of Chinese calligraphy, Zhang Yongjin described himself as a "wooden figure", but carved an artistic monument spanning half a century between gold, stone, calligraphy and ink. This calligraphy master, born in 1943 in the Jiangnan Cultural Center, reinterpreted the contemporary value of traditional calligraphy as a scholarly artist in both creative practice and theoretical construction.

　　A New Interpretation of Stele Learning: From the Elegance of Jiangnan to the Atmosphere of Temples and Halls

　　Under the guidance of two great masters, Li Duo and Xia Xiangping,

　　And with the personal touch of masters such as Shen Peng, Qi Gong has been awarded.

　　Zhang Yongjin is well versed in the fusion of northern steles and southern inscriptions. His calligraphy is imbued with the charm of Jiangnan water, and the military atmosphere can be seen between his compositions - this unique aesthetic trait stems from his more than 20 years of experience in leading the Chinese General Painting and Calligraphy Research Institute. Looking at its large characters, there is not only the vastness and richness of the "Ode to Shimen", but also the dynamic and interesting integration of bamboo and silk books; His small sketch cursive style injects the meaning of gold and stone knives into the Two Kings' Dharma, forming a unique language of "showing bones and enriching muscles". The success of the 2001 solo exhibition at the National Art Museum of China marked the systematic maturity of its artistic style, and the special reports from CCTV and CCTV further confirmed the social recognition of its calligraphy style.

　　Theoretical Breakthrough: The Disciplinary Foundation of Document Research

　　Zhang Yongjin's contemplation on the essence of calligraphy is mainly reflected in his pioneering work "The Art of Inscription Calligraphy". This work first systematically constructs a theoretical framework for the art of calligraphy, analyzing the spatial narrative function of plaque calligraphy from the perspective of cultural semiotics, filling the research gap in traditional book theory. This academic path of "integrating knowledge and action" has always maintained theoretical consciousness in calligraphy creation - carved stone plaques are not only artistic expressions, but also carriers of urban cultural memory. The selection of collections by the National Library highlights the literary value and academic weight of this work.

　　Cultural Diplomacy: International Translation of Chinese Character Art

　　As a national diplomatic gift giver and BRICS artist, Zhang Yongjin's writing bears the heavy responsibility of a cultural ambassador. His works have been selected for international honors such as the United Nations Medal of Arts and Culture and the Monet International Art Award, which confirms the dialogue ability of Chinese calligraphy in the world art language family. Especially as a pioneering achievement in national etiquette, golden calligraphy and painting have transformed the beauty of Chinese characters' form and meaning into tangible material carriers, achieving contemporary translation of traditional cultural symbols. The academic cultivation on platforms such as Boao Asian Art Talent Research Association has further promoted the internationalization process of Chinese calligraphy education.

　　Passing on the Torch: Systematic Construction of Art Ecology

　　Zhang Yongjin has been committed to the three-dimensional construction of the calligraphy ecology, from consultant of the China Calligraphy and Painting Art Research Association to honorary director of the National Art Commission Calligraphy and Painting Art Museum. He participated in the editing and review of the "Sea of Calligraphy Characters" and "Calligraphy Dictionary", becoming a model for contemporary calligraphy reference books; At the Oxford School of Art, he pioneered the integration of calligraphy teaching into the cross-cultural comparative research system. When this "creation education research" trinity artistic practice won the "National Literary and Artistic Master Monument Award", it demonstrated the respect of the entire calligraphy industry for the systematic builders.

　　For eighty years, Zhang Yongjin has been writing a flowing contemporary history of calligraphy using inkstones as paper. The 'wooden man' who emerged from Zhangjiagang has finally become a towering tree guarding the cultural roots - his works not only flow with ink, but also represent an eternal pilgrimage of a nation to its own literary aesthetics. When we stop in front of his golden calligraphy and paintings, what we touch is not only the warmth of a millennium civilization, but also the radiance of the times forged by cultural confidence.
