Dancing of Brush and Ink, Singing of Soul
—Appreciation on Zhang Jihai’s calligraphy
By Qi Shengyong
近几年，军旅书法家张济海异军突起，频频在国内各大的拍卖会上爆出天价，攻城掠地，势不可挡。其代表性作品“厚德载物”去岁被有关方面永久刻于长城居庸关，成为民族文化之传世瑰宝，一时间，藏家追捧，张家纸贵，求字索墨者，有港台政要高官、有海内外大款巨富，更有独具慧眼的文人雅士。
In recent years, the army calligrapher Zhang Jihai is just like a new star suddenly rising, his works is frequently high priced in domestic auction and overwhelming. Its representative calligraphy works “Houdezaiwu” (tremendous moral is mighty) was permanently carved in the Juyong Pass of the Great Wall by authorities. The works has become the forever national cultural treasures. For a time, many collectors sought after, these collectors include the paramount officials from Hong Kong and Taiwan, tycoons from home and abroad, even more the perspicacious literati and connoisseurs.
为什么张济海成为书坛黑马，爆得大名？他的书法有怎样的魔力，在多如牛毛的书家中让人眼前一亮？
Why Zhang Jihai becomes a dark horse and wins high reputation in calligraphy field? What magic does his calligraphy have? Why his works are highlighted in massive calligraphers?
多年前，石家庄烟厂遍选河北书家，最后相中了张济海，“新石家庄”四个大字成为“新石家庄”烟的商标，当时，这在书坛是一个很小的事件，但出人意料的是，随着“新石家庄”烟风行全国，这四个大字竟成为了这座省会城市的“名片”，许多公共场合都可以看到这四个字的踪影。
Many years ago, Shijiazhuang Tobacco Factory widely sought the calligraphers in Hebei Province, finally selected Zhang Jihai. The four Chinese characters “Xin Shi Jia Zhuang” (the new Shijiazhuang) became the trademark of New Shijiazhuang Tobacco. At that time, it was a trifle thing in calligraphy field. Unexpectedly with New Shijiazhuang Tobacco being popular nationwide, the four Chinese characters finally became the name card of Shijiazhuang City, the provincial capital; in many public places the four Chinese characters are easily seen.
以In then I noted the calligraphy of Zhang Jihai. I ever said to a calligrapher: “the calligrapher who is named Zhang Jihai, maybe become a famous one. In my view, his calligraphy has superb content and unlimited potential as well.”
果然，几年后，关于张字评说纷纭，大多是“金戈铁马”、“气势雄浑”、“军人豪迈”之类，所谓人云亦云。试问，如今书家属豪放一路的，哪几人当不得这几个空洞大词？我想，一个真正的书法家，决不会这么简单。
Sure enough, years later, the commenting of Zhang Jihai’s calligraphy was flooded; people used different words to praise his calligraphy such as “golden spear and iron horse,” “powerful momentum,” “heroic soldier manner.” I thought the above commenting words was popular, presently the common calligraphers with the style of bold and unconstrained all are praised of such words to describe their works. In my view if Zhang Jihai is a real calligrapher, the simple adjectives can’t cover his calligraphy.
在这时，我认识了张济海先生，一来而去，相熟相知，引为至交。
At this time, I acquainted with Zhang Jihai; several times meeting we became close friends.
Zhang Jihai, born in Shandong Province, handsome, always wearing army uniform and speaking Mandarin, he teaches Modern Art of War and love traditional culture. His manner is honest and kind, plain, smart, erudite, simple, traditional, modern……, Zhang Jihai figure is just like his calligraphy.
他的书法就像他这个人。是的，那一个书家不像他自己？书家最后比什么？张济海君很认同我的观点，在技艺之后，比学问、再比思想、最后比人品境界。回顾来路，张济海也是过此三关，大笔如刀，不过，走到今天，他发现，他谁也没有打败，他战胜的对手只是无数个自己。
His calligraphy is like himself. Its true, every calligrapher is like himself. What is the final competition for calligraphers? Mr. Zhang is very in favor of my view, after skill competition, and then is knowledge competition, thoughts competition, finally is moral quality realm competition. Looking back the developing way, Zhang Jihai also passed the three competitions, brush just like a sword. However, come to today, he found he defeated nothing but himself
张济海在技艺一关上是用了苦功，下了大力的，自幼随父亲学书，少年时才名满乡里，15岁因书法特长特招入伍，走入军营入鱼得水，多次进修于高等学府，遍拜国内泰斗名家，十年一剑，锋芒小试，上世纪八十年代，就在书法重镇河北争得一席之地。如果这时，张济海沾沾自喜，那么，最多社会上添一个招摇名士，艺术圈里多一个庸常书匠。
In calligraphy technique training, Zhang Jihai was diligent and hardworking. Since childhood he learnt calligraphy from his father, in teenage he had already won the reputation in hometown. In 15-year-old, by calligraphy talent, he was specially recruited into army. Entering barrack he was happy just like fish into water. He got further more study in institutions and learnt from domestic famous calligraphy masters. Ten years calligraphy exercise acquired a great achievement. In the 1980s, at the import calligraphy realm camp, he won his domain. If at this time, Zhang Jihai satisfied, the consequence was the community had a blatantly fellow and art circle has a mediocre teacher.
值得庆幸的是，张济海在那个足以让他飘飘然的时代静下一颗心来，思考自己的艺术出路，我该向何处进军？何方突围？
Fortunately, at that time Zhang Jihai was not proud of and satisfied, instead he was calm and pondered his artistic developing way: where to match on? Where to breakthrough?
Luckily, that time Zhang Jihai served for army, that was the location far away from vanity fair, and later taught in a military university. The working environment enabled him to calm down. Therefore he was very grateful to the army, thanked destiny. Just in the art life verge and loneliness, in the silence he heard the thunder in his internal heart.
反观几千年的中国书法史，哪一个书家仅仅是一个书家？哪一个书家不是人类文化夜空的明星，晶莹璀璨？如果斗胆说一声的话，书法，从来就是中国文人精神生活的副产品，从来就没有专业的书法家。即使今天有的话，他也必须是一个艺术家，而真正的艺术家必须是一个学者，一个思想者。
Judging the Chinese calligraphy history of several thousand years, any calligrapher not only a calligrapher but also a star in human cultural night sky, they were glitter and bright. We can bravely to say, calligraphy has always been the by-product of Chinese literati spiritual life, never does it have professional calligrapher. Even if so in today, he must also be an artist. But a real artist must be a scholar, a thinker.
十多年前，在技艺里东奔西突的张济海明白了这个道理，于是他返回书斋，拿起了书本，他在中国文化史上找到了书法的源头，佛、道、儒三个中国文化的支流，它们同样是中国书法的来处，深入经藏，智慧如海。一个真正的书法家笔端的点滴，它们都应该有一个伟大的来源。
More than 10 years ago, Zhang Jihai, who surfed calligraphy sea and understood the truth. So he returned to the study, and held books in Chinese cultural history and found the source of calligraphy. Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism the three Chinese cultural tributaries also are the Chinese calligraphy’s source. Deeply entering the collected books, wisdom is like a sea. A real calligrapher’s brush should have a great source.
在军事大学当教授的张济海明白了兵法本应是心法，书法也应是心法，他为自己的发现激动不已，六祖惠能大师说，“何其自性，本自清净!何其自性，本不生灭!何其自性，本自具足!何其自性，本无动摇!何其自性，能生万法!”原来，那瑰丽的不朽的书法艺术创造，它就隐藏在心灵之中，有什么样的心灵，就有什么样的艺术世界啊，浅薄还是深邃，高雅还是低俗，都是一个人的表象啊，一个书法家，一生的工作就是给自己写一个传记，或者，画一张自画像。“终日寻春不见春,芒鞋踏破陇头云;归来笑掂梅花嗅,春在枝头已十分。”哦，书法之路，原本就是一条回归心灵之路。
As a military university’s professor, Zhang Jihai understands that the art of war should be the art of heart, so is calligraphy. He is excited for his discovery. Master Hui Neng ever said: “what is the self-nature? That is cleaning, forever, enough, unshakeable and generating any way.” It is obviously that the creation of magnificent enduring calligraphy art is hid in spirituality, what kind of spirituality is what kind of art world, no matter shallow or deep, elegant or vulgar all are a person’s appearance. As a calligrapher, his life’s work is to write a biography of himself, or paint a self-portrait. There is poem said: “in a long time seeks spring scene, but no result; tread the road far and far away; return home and suddenly olfactory plum scent, finding spring has been prosperous already.” Oh, the road of calligraphy training is the one of spirituality returning.
人人都有个家，只有在家里才是自由的，自在的，自己做的了主的，才是与众不同不可替代的，书者找到了家，才可称“书法家”，不然一书匠耳。
Everyone should have a spirituality realm, only in the realm a man is freely, liberal, becoming his own master, and is unique, irreplaceable. Only finding out the realm, calligrapher can be called of calligraphy master, otherwise only be called of a common calligraphy fellow.
值得庆幸的是，张济海找到了自己，找到了自己回家的道路，他揣摩着中国古老的汉字，在他宁静的打量中，每个汉字都有声音有色彩有光芒有生命有情感，它们包含着宇宙间的奥秘，传递着五千年的文化信息，芥子纳须弥，每个汉字里都有无限的意蕴，也蕴藏着无限的空白，书家的使命，就是向这些空白中，填充生命。
Fortunately, Zhang Jihai found himself, and found his spirituality realm. He tries to figure out the ancient Chinese characters. In quiet pondering, he finds out each Chinese character has sound, color, light, life and feeling; it contains the mystery of universe, transfers the cultural information of 5,000 years. A mustard seed contains a world, every Chinese character has unlimited meaning, also contains infinite blank, calligraphers’ mission is to fill life in the blank.
于是有了因意赋形的创造，给每个汉字以鲜活的个性以及给它们穿上最合适的衣裳，这些可爱的孩子们，它们是有灵性的，会歌唱和舞蹈了，穿越了几千年的风尘一路向张济海走来，张济海所要完成的是，创造出它们的本来面目，那也是自己的本来面目。其代表性作品“厚德载物”曾演习、揣度三年，为什么会选定这个古老而惯常的词汇，因为，他发现，这个词与自己理想的人格契合，它是这个世界的秘密。靠近它，只有提高自己的修养，扩大自己的心量，完成它，书法和人品是不二法门。于是此作一出，轰动南北书坛，人们发现，“厚德载物”，本来就应该是这个样子，宽广、深厚、包容、慈悲……，它已经不是一个惯常的词汇，它是一种完美的品性，它是一个令人心生敬仰的大写的人。
Therefore, there is a creation of ideography, to endow vivid personality and appropriated clothes to each Chinese character. These lovely kids they have spiritualism and can sing, dance; through a few millennium of history wind and dust to come to Zhang Jihai. What Zhang Jihai fulfillment is to create their original faces, that is his face as well. The representative works “Houdezaiwu” ever had maneuvered and estimated for three years. Why did he select the ancient and common words, because he found the words is equality to his personality that is a secret of the world. Close it only to improve his cultivation, enlarge his heart, and fulfill it. Calligraphy and people character has a close relation, so for this one, that causes the sensation of calligraphy field of northern and southern China. People found “Houdezaiwu” already should be like this, broad, deep, tolerance, compassion……, it has not yet common words, it has a perfect nature, and it is a capitalized man with admiration.
此后，有了大度能容的“佛”，有了书生英武的“书香剑气”，有了如晴空山河般壮丽的“江山如画，……，真正的艺术创造呵，它都是不可替代、不可复制的，它都是对已有艺术世界的补充，它都是艺术家完美人格的完成。
Since then, it has “Buddha” of magnanimity, “reading and sword dancing” of handsome scholar, picturesque majestic mountains and rivers…… The real art creativeness can’t be replaced and copied, they all are the supplement to the art world, and it is artist’s perfect personality completion.
日人称书法为“书道”，“道”是什么？我想，它是世界的规律，是通向成功的必由之路。张济海多年以来，用心写字，真诚应世，慷慨对人，如今的成功自是必然的善果，他对慈善活动有求必应，学校、寺院、公益活动求字从不收一文。因此，得道多助，每到一处，都有别人羡慕的人气，前年，他的个人书展，一下子到了八位将军，河北文学馆前道路为之堵塞。
Japanese call calligraphy as “Calligraphy Dao.” What is “Dao?” I think that is rule of the world, is the only way to success. Over the years, Zhang Jihai diligently writes characters, seriously serve for community and generously treat people. Today’s success is the inevitable fruit. He is charitable to donate calligraphy works to schools, temples and public welfare activities. Therefore he is warmly welcomed by society. The year before, his solo calligraphy exhibition attracted eight military generals, for that Hebei Literary House caused traffic jam.
We look forward to Zhang Jihai’s artistic persisting as well as Zhang Jihai’s artistic changes. Art creation way always as the gifted poet Haizi singing: “the wind is behind the wind, the sky above the sky and roads before the roads.”
