[Appreciation of works
Delin learns books, the path is broad, and the law is right. Based on the word Zhao, chasing the two kings, and also mining the indulgence of the Yellow Valley, and the thick and broad version of the Han Li tablet. The context of his learning Xi does not seek to be forced by a stroke, but to seek the penetration of reason and law. ......Delin's calligraphy in recent years has a unique purpose, abandoning prosperity, returning to plainness, pursuing simplicity and coldness, and quite having the interest of Buddhist calligraphy such as the Eight Great and Hongyi. Contemporary students of traditional Xi calligraphy, every one of the ancients, Delin from the traditional law to the ancient people's legal principles, integration of self-nature, innovation, unique style, this is a rare and valuable person. Compared with the various exhibitions in the book world, the so-called traditional calligraphy style of thousands of people, Jue Delin's books, are more and more strange and lovely. Delin calligraphy, the line quality is ancient, the pen has the house leakage marks, the wonder of the ink, the spirit of the ink, the knot is also in the ancient law, and every new idea, its style of writing has been quite mature. — Zeng Laide
He has his own unique pursuit of art and life. He is willing to give up a lot of worldly and prosperous things, and is willing to dedicate all his wisdom to art and the pursuit of beauty, which I particularly admire. From the pen and ink, we can see that he gave up many of the relatively superficial and fancy technical pursuits in the past, dared to give up those things, and then went deeper to pursue spiritual things. I think this is that he deliberately gave up the form and the technique, and pursued the level of God and the Tao. This precisely means that his art is moving towards depth, to a higher realm. - Ye Peigui
The calligraphy of the Jingyuan monks enters and exits Hongyi Road, and the teachers are hundreds of schools, which are self-contained, round and ancient, and quiet and quiet. There are many books in the rest of the world, but the net round book is enough, and the rest of the children are insignificant. - Chen Chuanxi
I heard the name of Delin early. Looking at his book, see Hongyi, see the Eight Greats, see the two kings, and see the ancient sages. Another view, the transformation of the Hongyi, the transformation of the eight, the transformation of the two kings, the transformation of the ancient sages. Look at it again, it is not Hongyi, it is not the Eight Greats, it is not the two kings, and it is not the ancient sages. Great.
1. The eight gods, the qi of the ancients, turned into their own internal force. Why?Zen heart is connected, Buddha fruit is the same way, ancient and modern will be connected, and I am sincere. Calligraphers, the body of the mind, the practice of the body. The end of the pen, from the finger end, the finger end is tied to the body, from the mind, born in the heart. The heart is wise, and there is no discomfort in the body, no smooth hands, and no unhappiness. When you want to write, you can move in your heart, your strength in your wrist, your line in your fingers, your front, and your paper. In the eyes of the viewer, you will know its spirit, understand its heart, move its feelings, feel its arms, and all be happy. — Chu Zhelun
Brother Delin is a teaching assistant of Shen Peng Studio and Zeng Laide Studio, and when his brother Gong Xiaobin studied Shen Peng's calligraphy creation class in 2011, he once said to me with emotion that Zhang Delin's calligraphy skills are extraordinary, and the most rare thing is that he is comprehensive, and all kinds of calligraphy have made great efforts, and he is precise and systematic. This is rare in the calligraphy circle. This kind of profound kung fu comes from his unremitting hard work and ...... all year roundLooking at its use of the pen, the edge is introverted, implicit but not revealed;Looking at its structure, there is no exaggeration and ingenuity, but it also implies tension;Judging its momentum, echoing up and down, looking left and right, but it is like an antelope hanging its horns, and there is no trace to be found. After it is written, the whole work is like a golden jade, not carved but natural, making people feel that there is no increase or loss, and one cannot be changed. Carefully inspect the source of the teacher's inheritance, I don't know where he is, and I don't know where he is, but it makes people feel that no matter from **to **, it is reasonable, just like the famous Zen saying, "From where you come, where you go". Brother Delin's calligraphy has the feeling of being a master craftsman, and it is close to his own artistic ideal - a Zen realm of returning to the basics, fresh and quiet, and joyful and free. It reminds me of the wit of Zen Master Huairang: "If you say that it looks like a thing, you don't hit it." Yang Wu
The Zen calligraphy of Master Li Shutong has always fascinated me, and in the face of his works, there is a sense of serenity and tranquility that "all turmoil ends here", which embodies a kind of static beauty. The calligraphy of Huang Tingjian in the Northern Song Dynasty is also full of Zen, but it expresses a different realm, spears and halberds, vertical and horizontal, reflecting a kind of dynamic beauty. Although this movement and stillness feel different, there is something common in the inner implication. 
Zhang Delin's calligraphy has skillfully selected and integrated the above two. In the past few years, his calligraphy was dominated by Huang Tingjian's grass and Wei and Jin styles, and the cursive writing was flying and flamboyant, and the dot painting was exquisite, magnificent, and very artistic. Xiaokai is quiet and calm without showing stagnation, and there are many subtle changes between the lines. Whether it is a large format or a small piece, it pays attention to the full expression of the inner spiritual temperament, rather than only shocking the world from the external form. In recent years, he has paid more and more attention to subtle and introverted things, so reflected in calligraphy, he gradually discarded those overly publicized and exposed factors, and naturally fully integrated the subtle and introverted elements in the calligraphy of Erwang, Yan Zhenqing, Huang Tingjian, Bada Shanren, Master Hongyi and others, forming his own unique artistic style. The biggest feature of his style is that the lines are concise but not slippery, the dot painting is fine and full of changes, the chapters are harmonious but not sluggish, and the atmosphere is ancient and intriguing. —Fu Defeng
Recently, I saw Brother Zhang's works, judging the two of them, no fireworks, introverted and ancient, quiet and simple, obviously has entered the realm of Zen Buddhism. Brother Delin is in the downtown and has a Zen Buddha state, which is impressive. Savor the style of his book, although the momentum of the imagery is gone, but there is a little more simplicity and tranquility, freedom and joy, which will make those who have experience be able to understand it. The transformation of this process is quite following the path of Master Hongyi. Books are the ones who draw the heart, which can be seen here. Brother Delin's calligraphy can be summarized as "凈" and "Yuan" (such as its legal name Jingyuan). "Clean" people, not dirty, never vulgar dust, the body is a Bodhi tree, the heart is like a mirror;Those who are "round" are thorough, round, gentlemen, and flexible. This is the perception of life. His calligraphy is transformed into dot painting, which is naturally clear and graceful, round and inward. The words are steady and less affiliated, and the lines are ethereal and coherent. The spirit is like a rainbow, and the gods are self-satisfied. Seeing the clear heart, Zanderin's transcendence;Looking for affection and seeing sex, Mu Yuan's cultivation. In the future, the Yuan people regarded calligraphy as the mental method, which is true. The final cultivation is the improvement of the personality of freedom. The final value of form must touch the human heart and be full of enlightenment. 
Leisurely tasting his books, really watching people. Although I am still lingering in the world, I look up to Cang Hao, enter the underworld, and can also see through the hue and surpass Hongmeng. Delin's fifty years of change, can know the destiny of heaven, his book from brave and diligent to clear and mellow, his own life of disillusionment and regeneration. —Qiu Ruo
Mr. Zhang Delin, a close friend of the best. Shaoxi calligraphy and painting, intoxicated with Han ink, and then asked Mr. Huang Dun, an important town of calligraphy in Jiangzuo, to learn the history of calligraphy, and has a long foundation. In the prime of life, he traveled to Beijing from Mr. Shen, Mr. Zhang Rongqing, Mr. Zeng Laide and other famous masters in the world, and asked questions with teachers and friends, his horizons were opened, and his calligraphy was greatly advanced. Within a few years, he moved the capital with the name of calligraphy. Draped in his works, the bones are heavy, the true qi is pervasive, if the predecessors of the so-called house leakage Qu iron, both. Its majestic and vast realm cannot be ...... unless the old pen is impossibleIt is rare to be like Mr. Delin, regardless of the fame and fortune of the world, to study the ancients, to restore the ancient but not to the ancient, to learn from hundreds of schools, and to become a family. Mr. is simple, clothed and vegetable, does not change his pleasure, and uses pen and ink to do Buddhist things, participate in Zen and enlightenment, and gain every gain. Traveling with Mr., chic and uninhibited, is a very good friend. - Yao Wenxing.
Mr. Delin's philosopher's state of being kind to life, treating life well, regarding art as faith, turning penance into pleasure, indifferent and flashy, simple and true, and achieving harmony and peace with all things and all feelings, is most likely to make his works reach the realm of "no self, no one, no beings, and no longevity" expounded in the Diamond Sutra.
Today, Zhang Delin, who lives in Beijing, due to his unremitting pursuit and penance in the art of calligraphy for decades, has finally stood in the calligraphy world with his unique calligraphy style and distinctive artistic personality, and has become famous, attracting attention from his peers and being admired by the world. Those who get their books, if they get the treasure, they will be happy to hide it. And Mr. Delin is still calm, diligent, simple and vegetarian, and carefree. He is free in the transcendent and bright artistic realm, digging out the mystical method that is both illusory and real, because it is full of precipitated passion, and the nature is true, therefore, "I am me, and my heart is in the law." Therefore, Zhang Delin wisely continued the law of development of art, changed and gained what was lacking, and continued to cultivate epiphany, choose freely, enlighten the Tao with Zen, view the law with Taoism, and write the heart with the law. As a result, his words became more solid and ethereal. - Liu Hongjun.
Zhang Delin's earlier flow has been replaced by the current stagnation, and the pen is not deliberately square, the line of the pen does not pretend to tremble, it can be said that it is going all out to write naturally, and the true, line, and grass are used intricately, so that the rhythm of writing changes naturally and unexpectedly, and the delicate changes of dot painting also clearly show his intentional control of the overall effect, so that if there is no ingenuity in the process, I believe it will not be possible. Taoguang is obscure, smart and not used, and clever and ......clumsyReading Zhang Delin's works, it will be reminiscent of Xu Shengweng and Hong.
1. Zhao Lengyue and Xie Wuliang, of course, he may not be directly from the Zhujia, but at least it can be said that he has something in common with the above-mentioned families in terms of aesthetic orientation, and there are many similarities in performance. This kind of style and atmosphere, in the past or now, is not widely sought after, so Zhang Delin's choice and persistence are undoubtedly of special significance, and his works are also more worthy of attention. —Wei Chunlei.
