中国画是我国文化艺术中的瑰宝。古今华夏, 多少文人墨客为之倾注毕生的精力, 呕心沥血, 挥毫泼墨。借笔墨之迹, 或倾诉幽幽情怀, 或狂泻豪放衷情。笔锋墨迹之下所形成的一幅幅图案, 无不映辉出国画艺术家的所走过的心历途径。在我们欣赏了周小军先生的油画之后, 我们又欣赏了其珍藏多年的国画。悠悠的一百多幅, 横跨近二十年历程的作品, 有山水, 有人物，一幅幅的展现在我们的面前。在读者与画的交流中, 我们又一次被深深的震撼了。从周先生的国画作品中, 我们既感受到了其豪放不羁的性情, 也品味到了其善抓神韵的笔锋。欣赏其国画, 韵味无穷。这也是我们编辑出版国画集的用意, 与广大读者和美术爱好者共赏。
　　周小军先生国画写意中的人物, 多是点画疏简, 神韵十足。如钟馗打鬼、达摩面壁、板桥赏竹, 寥寥几笔, 便把人的形象勾画出来。即是那寥寥几笔的形, 也是飘逸潇洒, 动静相宜。重要的是在刻画人物神韵时, 则精心勾画在眼神上, 也同样是寥寥几笔, 便将民间传说中人物的特征栩栩如生的展示出来: 怒目圆睁、胡须直立,在奔跑中的钟馗, 肯定是去打鬼; 板桥赏竹,眯缝着两眼,不禁令人想起其难得糊涂的名言;达摩盘腿面壁,多是闭眼而思,但周先生与众不同,紧紧抓住达摩面壁十年之后, 突然睁大眼睛醒悟的一霎那的神韵, 那才是大彻大悟的达摩。周先生的国画人物, 概括为一点, 就是神韵活了, 是活生生的动态中人。这是国画中非常难得的画面。
　　周小军先生的山水画, 在传统技法的基础上, 努力创新章法, 韵取高古。如其以墨笔的散锋狂写, 刻画出来的山间风起, 形象地表现了狂风中, 山间的巨石飞滚。诸如此类的山水, 画风肆意, 笔墨豪放, 淋漓酣畅, 造境立意, 皆自机抒。 这些作品均展示出, 周先生的艺术造诣和创新精神达到了一定的高度。
　　我们向大家推荐周小军先生的国画作品, 并将其出版, 这只是其国画中很少的一部分。我们还将陆续出版他的作品, 与大家共赏。让我们的民族文化艺术一代一代的发展下去, 在世界艺术之林中发扬光大。

　　Afterword for the Traditional Chinese Paintings
　　Wield Brush to Free lofty sentiments
　　Keep Talented to Create Elegant Paintings
　　The traditional Chinese painting is a precious treasure of our Chinese culture and art. From the ancient time to now so many Chinese literators and artists shower energy throughout their life upon it. They exert their utmost effort to write and paint with brush and ink. With the trace of ink, they confide exquisite feelings or pour lofty sentiments. The soul paths that experienced by the Chinese artists are all mirrored from the designs under bush and ink. After we enjoyed the canvas of Mr. Zhou Xiaojun, we appreciated his traditional Chinese paintings accumulated by him for many years. Here are more than one hundred paintings displayed in the album. These include landscapes and portraits, and required the artist almost twenty years to finish. In the communication between the readers and paintings, we can not only feel his bold and unconstrained temperament, but also taste his painting style that is apt at grasping verve. To appreciate his paintings is to enjoy limitless lingering charm. That is our purpose to publish this album of traditional Chinese paintings as well: to share these with the readers and art-lovers.
　　Most of the characters in Mr. Zhou’s freehand brushworks are drawn simply, but full of verve, such as Zhongkui Vanquishes Ghost, Damo Facing the Wall to Do Self-examination, Banqiao Enjoys Bamboos. Only with several simple strokes, he draws out a character and makes the characters elegant, degage, and unisonous with active and still state. Especially when he portrays the verve of the characters, he elaborately draws the expression in their eyes. Also with these several simple strokes, he manifests the characters in the folklores vividly. In the picture Zhongkui is running with angrily opening eyes and stand-straight beards. Obviously he is going to vanquish the ghosts; Banqiao is watching the bamboos with eyes narrowed into slits. Readers can not help remembering his famous saying: ignorance is bliss. In other paintings, when to represent Damo is facing the wall, sitting cross-legged, and doing self-examine, the image of him is always drawn with closed eyes. But Mr. Zhou’s painting is different. He grasped the expression at the moment when Damo suddenly came to realize the truth and opened his eyes after facing the wall for ten years, because that’s the real Damo who realized the truth. The characters in Mr. Zhou’s traditional Chinese paintings could be summarized in one point: they have a vividly verve. They are alive and dynamic man. It is rare in the traditional Chinese paintings.
　　The landscapes of Mr. Zhou Xiaojun, based on the traditional painting techniques, try hard to create new art of composition with exquisite artistic conception. For example, he draws wildly with the loose tip of brush to portray the gustiness in the valley. It vividly reappears the huge blocks rolling in the gustiness. This kind landscapes are all free from inhibition, have wanton style, bold and unconstrained techniques of painting, and original created artistic conception. These paintings proved that Mr. Zhou’s artistic attainments and spirits of creation have reached a high level.
We recommend the traditional Chinese paintings of Mr. Zhou Xiaojun to readers and published them. Here is only a small part of his paintings. We will publish others in succession, and share them with the readers. May our traditional culture and art pass on from generation to generation, and carry forward in the world art circles.
