Piao Donggui and Zhang Zhizhong, South Korea and China, Two Men's Calligraphy and Painting Exhibition Preface
　　Zhou Xianglin director of Chinese Calligrapher Association, researcher and tutor of China National Academy of Painting, famous director
　　Piao Donggui, was born in Jeju Island, South Korea.
　　Zhang Zhizhong, was born in Peach Garden, China.
　　Jeju Island, facing the sea, sometimes the sun is shinning brightly, sometimes the waves are terrifying.
　　Peach Garden, near the lake, sometimes the rain ripples, sometimes the willow moon can be heard.
　　How different are geography and customs! Even make it difficult for imaginative Chuang Tzu to put them together. But a soft brush not only links them, but also makes natural harmony for knowing and meeting each other. Let them express their mind together and extend their feelings together. Of course, the true things make them entrust mind and culture is characters under the brush---Chinese characters.
　　As contemporary most influential calligrapher in South Korea, Mr. Piao Donggui has his calligraphy basic, the official script. On this foundation, he also learns seal, official, regular, running and cursive scripts, injecting rich painting language, indeed being capable of all the styles. At the same time of owning personality, he also makes organic intersection of tradition and era. Cursive script is vast and peculiar, running script is gentle and cultivated, regular script is solemn and quiet. His paintings are vigorous and moist, inheriting from Wu Foulao and Qi Baishi, setting off his unique nationality aesthetic quality. He gets the true meaning of six methods, the spirit is vivid, and all of these are like the official script for the world, emitting a wisp of real and ancient gas. The core is broad and magnanimous, upright and harmonious, which come from Two Han Dynasty over two thousand years ago. It is just like the Han clothing wore often by him, the broad tunic and big sleeves all brush out the sense of antiquity.
　　Although Zhang Zhizhong's calligraphy is based on Two Jin Dynasty, his ancient sense is apparently grinded from Han Dynasty. Wang Xizhi reviewed Zhong (Yao) and Zhang (Zhi), saying that Zhong was better than Zhang. The precious quality of Zhong is probably that he still kept a broad ancient sense in natural. Zhang Zhizhong knows very well about this, on one side, he concentrates on Seventeen, Grand, Chunhua and other copybooks; on the other hand, he also emulates the seal and official script in Zhou, Qin, Han and Wei Dynasty, basically not involving those after Tang Dynasty. Impose reading upon travelling; he is delicate from learning calligraphy theory, he learns Song and Yuan Dynasty from painting. Therefore, though his calligraphy is good at all kinds of styles, but its spirit quality is also out between Han Wei Dynasty. His seal script is graceful and melting, his official script is elegant and muddy, regular script is broad. He is very good at running script, which has the temperament of Xixian Boying, the reviewer says that it has the scene of the Han people, the emotion of the Jin people, indeed.
　　In the upcoming filming TV series Calligraphy Master Wang Xizhi, there are some scenes about the relationship of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Silla calligraphy. Pure researchers do not take care, while indexers can see remnants from a historical perspective. In Tang Dynasty, the size and maturity of historian of Tang Dynasty undoubtedly proved from the other side that China had extensive and frequent communication with its neighboring countries. While in fact, the real exchange was even earlier than Wei and Jin Dynasty. The reason is simple; the charm of Chinese characters could not be prevented by any artificial forces.
　　From the birth of the day, Chinese characters have make countless people fascinate for it. Thousands of years stretching not only not reduce the charm, but also makes it more intense.
　　Piao Donggui and Zhang Zhizhong group exhibition certainly not happens for the first time between China and South Korea, but for the people who organize the exhibition, in fact each exhibition is also for the fist time. It can be obviously seen from the creation and selection of exhibits. Never think that this is only their attitude for exhibition, people who obsessed with calligraphy know that this is their piety for Chinese characters and respect for calligraphy, the art filling with artistic cultural connotation.
　　I believe that every friend watching the exhibition can feel their piety and respect!
