Zhao Lao grew up in the pool, and his skill is by no means comparable to that of ordinary people. Europe was strict first, then Northern Wei Dynasty, seal script and bronze inscription. 1980 was accepted as a closed disciple by the famous calligrapher Xiao Xian. Zhao Lao's calligraphy is also good at Han and Wei Dynasties. He is magnificent, simple and solemn, full of book spirit and stone spirit. He is good at writing couplets and Chinese characters. He has won numerous awards in calligraphy competitions at home and abroad. His works have been collected by many museums and exhibited in Australia, the United States, South Korea, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. I saw with my own eyes the awards he won: 198 1 the first prize of Jiangsu healthy calligraphy exhibition, the first prize of Yangzhou calligraphy exhibition, and the third prize of 1999 Jiangsu aging calligraphy exhibition, which was not easy. He likes to travel to famous mountains and rivers. Once he packed his bags and went to the Ministry of Health to spend money on the spot, causing an exclamation. There is also a painting written in Diaoyutai State Guesthouse: "The tree is old and majestic, and the pen is like Youlong. Learn Theory of Three Represents well and Murphy will fly to the peak of Wan Ren. " "Celebrating the 52nd Anniversary of the Founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), China's Collection of Soul Paintings and Calligraphy" ... 74 Zhao Jianmin. "This five-character quatrains from Lin Sanzhi's poetic. Zhao Lao himself used poetry as a calligraphy word, but unfortunately he failed to compile it into a book. After retirement, Zhao Lao devoted himself to calligraphy creation, often carrying two big bags with a small pole. Four Treasures of the Study has everything from soup to nuts, and the surrounding counties and cities write while walking. Once I went to Dafeng, my friend Shen, a member of the Standing Committee of Dafeng, a doctor and calligrapher, called me specially. I tell the truth: Zhao Lao has good calligraphy and good personality. On that day, the two talked happily, and Zhao Lao's bosom friend couldn't help being happy. One weekend in the summer of 2002, Zhao Lao met me at the gate of Yanghe Garden. I learned that his rice paper had just been used up, so I took him to my house and picked out a good four-foot clean leather, a small amount of five-foot publicity and some corrugated paper for him to use first. He asked me to go to his house the next day to watch him write. So, I brought new tea and went home to learn Linchi and creative skills. Zhao Lao's home is not easy to find, but as long as he talks about the old man who often washes pens by the river, he will know when he asks. That day was a rare happiness in my life! Zhao Lao wrote a banner of "relaxed and happy" for me with great interest. I am full of energy and have not failed. I like it very much, and he himself thinks it is his masterpiece. He told me a lot of heartfelt words, such as learning calligraphy, constantly changing teachers in the pool, often watching exhibitions and practicing "extra-word kung fu", and poetry skills are indispensable; Read thousands of books, but also take Wan Li Road; True to you, grass is expensive, so you can participate in the circle, and the circle can participate in the party. Fang Bi and round pen can be used in combination, both rigid and flexible. I always remember these earnest words. Learning books is like this, and so is learning medicine to be a man. At noon, you have to drink some wine. Taking advantage of this excitement, Mr. Zhao told me happily that he planned to go abroad, broaden his horizons and learn calligraphy from his foreign counterparts. Sure enough, at the end of that year, he went to Hong Kong and Macau to participate in the calligraphy cultural and artistic exchange activities of internationally renowned painters and calligraphers at home and abroad, and in 2004, he went to South Korea with a delegation of Korean cultural and artistic circles to participate in the calligraphy cultural and artistic exchange between China and South Korea. Zhao's hometown is profound. His father, Zhao, a Chang Geng native, is a famous Chinese medicine practitioner in the town. He is good at poetry and calligraphy, and is closely related to Liu Yizhi (1880- 1956), a master of Chinese studies. In Zhao Lao's home, I saw the gold-lettered signboard of his father's medical practice. Zhao Lao has always been hale and hearty, striding like a fly and sounding like Hong Zhong. In the summer of 2006, Zhao Lao went to Changzhou to study calligraphy, but died suddenly because of overwork. Zhao Lao is one of the best calligraphers in Xinghua Health System. Many of his excellent calligraphy works are deeply appreciated by collectors at home and abroad, and people make a special trip to Xinghua from time to time.
