Comments by Wang Weiping—Professor at China Academy of Art Although painting may be considered a minor art, it is nonetheless one pathway to comprehending the Dao. Beyond technique, it connects with all aspects of tradition and thus demands no ordinary effort. Throughout history, renowned sages achieved mastery only through exhaustive dedication and profound cultivation of learning. It is even rarer for talented female artists to rise to prominence—this is simply because tradition is vast and profound, and cultivating one’s inner spirit is exceedingly difficult. Ms. Zhang Heling of Nanyang comes from a family steeped in calligraphy and painting; she began learning painting from her father in childhood. As she matured, she traveled to Tianjin, Chang’an, and other places to study under various masters, thereby gaining deep insight into the origins and evolution of Chinese painting and calligraphy. Zhang Heling’s painting is fundamentally rooted in tradition, which she pursues with tireless diligence. She follows the styles of masters such as Baiyang, the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou, Wu Changshuo, and Wang Xuetao. Thus, an aura of clarity, elegance, and refinement permeates her works—an embodiment of traditional strength, which is especially rare and commendable. Dedicated solely to this pursuit, she understands its hardships and joys; the purity of her paintings truly stems from the clarity of her heart. Last year, she came to Hangzhou to study painting and enjoyed accompanying me in my artistic explorations. I admire her focused devotion to ancient traditions and her prioritization of integrity. Now, as she compiles her daily works for publication and requests a preface from me, I am delighted to witness her achievement and look forward to her future progress toward even greater heights. Therefore, I gladly write this preface. Heling, strive onward! Comments by Teacher Jia Pingxi Heling, I have seen your paintings of plum blossoms, chrysanthemums, winter jasmine, lotus flowers... They are very well executed, bold and expressive. Remember to continue sketching from life in the future.
