Lv Shuqing Senior Editor of Chinese Calligraphy
　　Zhang Zhizhong is a calligrapher who is wise, intelligent and also reserved and steady, being just like his name. He advocates that "slow speech but execute promptly" of Confucian is his golden rule. Just from this, his name Zhizhong matches the reality.
　　In 1993, the Second Session of Chinese Calligraphy Circles Newcomers' Exhibition was opened in Zhengzhou; he attracted attention of calligraphy circles by his natural, unrestrained and steady running script scroll. I was lucky to meet and know this Hunan juvenile at his prime. For the sequacious calligraphy circles at that time, he said: "Learn classic can make one successful. You respect contemporary people, I learn classic. And a few years later, the calligraphy circles have nothing with you." That is really resurgence ambition of "Everything is under my control on the bloodless earth"! "Courage youth things can even take a cloud". At that time, his talent and self-confidence left me a deep impression.
　　After that, his name appeared frequently in national exhibition and awards list. At that time, the calligraphy circles were sweltering and eager for quick success and instant benefits, even with good and evil people mixed up and many na?ve in the fever. Although the works of Zhang Zhizhong were unfamiliar in a degree, but there was a kind of elegant righteousness from him, quite different from those who were deliberately mystifying and did dishonest practices.
　　Later, we had the honor to become friends, and then we became neighbors who both lived in east of Beijing, often talking about art things. After that, we were lucky to become members of Shen Peng Calligraphy Elite Class in China National Academy of Painting.
　　During more than ten-year living in Beijing, Zhang Zhizhong has entered his thirty from the youth. His wisdom and discreetness make his business successful and big progress in calligraphy art. Nowadays, his calligraphy has been cut to a phase from learning knowledge and benefiting from many teachers. The phase is the classic road that he proceeds without hesitation to trace source and carry forward the charm of Two Wang and the Jin people. His writing style changes from the original external random to write Mi Fu and Wang Duo to go deep into research to explore the internal charm of Two Wang classic. The famous meetings in Beijing broaden his eyes, and the teachers and friends air their own views. Especially he asks, learns and exchanges knowledge from calligraphy master Mr. Shen Peng and his good friend Mr. Zhou Xianglin, etc, as well as the strength communication with several dozens of calligraphy giants in Shen Peng Elite Class, making him have a new understanding, new start and new goal for calligraphy. He says: "Art should pursue internal beauty, with the internal beauty, external beauty will comes naturally." The intensification of his cognition makes his style of writing less external display but more internal charm. And this kind of internal charm beauty makes him more and more mature, splendid and memorable in his creations in recent years.
　　The internal charm beauty shows that his writing style is subtle and natural, rich and changeable in his works. The structure is rooted in upright and irregular separation and reunion base. The art of composition is "there's an end to the words, but not to their message", and realm is standard and pure without any distractions…
　　Internal beauty is the footstone of calligraphic art. If we don't pay attention to internal beauty but only to the external beauty, we may get the external "shell" of calligraphic art (Said by Mr. Shen Peng)! "Pursue internal beauty" is "four-word maxim" left by masters; Zhang Zhizhong already has realized that in the early time. Get first then benefit for lifelong. Out generations should keep that in mind and dare not slacking.
　　In recent years, Zhang Zhizhong not only follows classic on calligraphic art, but also insists in "Two Wang", he is even "stubborn" to take a concerted effort together with Director Zhou Xianglin to direct about a 40-episode of TV series Calligraphy Master Wang Xizhi to carry forward the spirit of calligraphy master. The pursuit and the sense of responsibility make people marvel at him sincerely.
　　At present, Zhang Zhizhong' calligraphy presents a kind of romantic, temperate and refined beauty. "Temperate and refined", the two words have contained too much fineness, which is the result of "thick plot". I believe that his "sending thinly" has gained glory, if there is "burst", there will have two kinds of realms: one is the high mountains and flowing water, national beauty and heavenly fragrance; the other is as quick as a flash, with mountain flowers in full bloom.
　　However, I believe that Zhang Zhizhong will combine the two together. Because all these years he has always been steeled himself in the classic.
