Cui Yuanze’s character is a typical northern style of calligraphy, its main characteristics are honest and simple. It contains a clear, meaningful and spiritual realm, which can be described as a combination of rigidity and softness and with vigorous momentum. He writes a set of words calmly and leisurely by using his brush pen. It is often with power penetrating the paper and with the magnificent momentum. Such an imposing manner is an important feature of clerical script of Cui Yuanze’s art. In his writings, the graceful and magnanimous spirit, dancing characters and calligraphic style of steel and iron show the ideals and pursuits of the ancients, and tell the long history of Chinese calligraphy art.
As a hardworking calligrapher, Cui Yuanze has made great achievements in exploring the spirit of Chinese calligraphy by practicing and studying in Linchi for decades. In order to grasp the force, thickness, purity and subtleties of Chinese calligraphy better, he facsimiled the works from Wei and Jin Dynasties as well as from Tang and Song Dynasties. He talked with the ancient every day when reading and facsimileing their calligraphic works and learned a lot from traditional culture. Its writing is simple and rich, and its ink is thick and alive. He wrote crudely and subtly, not only vigorous and unrestrained, but also the words are dense just like a tree, and with strange posture, upright and square folding, forming his won beautiful style. Throughout his brushwork, there is a sense of frequent and the interest of ancient and modern.
Cui Yuanze deeply realized that the success of a person’s calligraphy ultimately depends on cultural connotations. Calligraphy without connotations is like the source without water and the wood without root, which is difficult to really grow. For this reason, he strives to absorb the essence from traditional culture and seclude the mystery of traditional calligraphy in his own style, which can make us be awareness of the rich connotation of the calligraphy works and unremitting artistic pursuit of the calligraphers. Cui Yuanze is very good at learning from the ancients. His works take advantages of the works of Wang Xizhi, Wang Xianzhi, Yan Zhenqing, Ouyang Xun, Yu Youren and so on. His brushwork is vigorous and powerful, and his strength of writing is obvious. He strives to innovate in the content and form of calligraphy without departing from tradition, which not only embodies profound traditional skills, but also is full of the sense of the times.
While absorbing the essence of the ancients, Cui Yuanze also had his own ideas and formed his own pure and unique style of calligraphy gradually. From the aspect of artistic style, his calligraphy emphasizes masculinity. His works are full of meanings and with deep charm and strong flavor. We can see that his handwriting shows a heroic spirit on the paper and it can shock us deeply. Calligraphers often take calm attitude to splash ink, and their works are all full of varied changes in the neat writing. When he holds his pen, he seems to have the ability to pull out a thousand strokes, and then the strong and vigorous fonts appear on Xuan Paper one by one, which can attach importance to the relationship between ups and downs. There are no words in a mess. Whether it is from the combination to the dotting, or from the part to the whole, it contains rich cultural connotations.
Cui Yuanze’s profound achievements in calligraphy originate from his theoretical accomplishment, cultural accumulation and artistic talent as well as are related to his years of knowledge and precipitation. Cui Yuanze is person who are up-and-coming and persistent in pursuing his aim. He not only knows the charm of traditional calligraphy, but also integrates different kinds of calligraphy into a whole. The inner cultivation and exploration can be fully epitomized in his works. On this basis, he learned a lot from many other teachers and constantly asked for new knowledge from famous calligraphers of all ages. He took the advantages of the calligraphy from all the calligraphers and made them become his own style. From his series of works, we can know the rich meaning and connotation as well as the unremitting pursuit of art of Calligrapher.
