楼尚志，男，1952年生于四川成都，祖籍浙江诸暨。自幼成长于书香翰墨家庭，国际一级书法师。曾祖父楼藜然，晚清科举进士，放官四川，因不滿清政府腐败，不支持四川保路运动，愤而弃官回乡，创办书法传统文化存古学堂，现留存书法在英国一家拍卖。学堂即现诸暨市师范学院前身。捐赠七万册藏书，组建成立第一家国立图书馆。1913年曾任淅江省民国参议员。袁世凯复辟帝制邀他任相，被痛斥为窃国大盗。这些资料都存档在国家文史馆可查询。浙江文联曾召开专题讨论出版了楼藜然集。祖父楼维克留学归来办教育，人称楼几何。祖母创办佛教缝纫学校。父母国家公职人员，文革期间抄写大字报，人们不看文章，尽围观书法了。

本人就在这家庭潜移默化环境长大，遍临各体前贤书法经典碑帖，通过几十年学书，终悟到书法是养身修心之事，无捷径可走，需练好手功硬件，以书入文，积累心脑文化素养软件，才可望达到书法前贤所云:形神兼备，书如其人之境界。

深知书法是世界独特的文化瑰宝，国粹第一。书写的是中华文化核心根本一-中文汉字。与其它艺术所不同的就在于此，如果脱离了这精神文化之根本功能，只局限在艺术范围形式上是没有前途，将失去生命力的。试想，如果一篇污秽卑劣之文，再好的书艺又能表现出什么呢?书法的特质是一气呵就，无法塗改，无修饰琢描，忌做作真实自然天成为高。和其它艺术不同的。学书必师承传统，今人之书无法企及古人，除书写工具改变少用毛筆外，重要的是古人无科学技术产出之物质诱惑，尽在人之精神文化上用功之缘故。所以，今人若物欲太重，心手无法相应，学不好书法。出不了那种精神光彩的。时代在进步，书法也会创新发展，艺术含量也应具备。但万变不离其宗的还是这关系。我们的文字发展变化至今，早已不变，是从象形基因而来，每个字不是代表事，便是代表物，和人一样，没有相同的，把每个字应有的外形和内在神态写好，就是好书法。古贤所云形神兼备，书如其人之真谛，所指人，不只是书者，泛指整体人，要具备字形而上的人之神态精精，还指绐予观者什么样的精神文化审美感染和影响是极重要的。这文化功能必不可少。所以要提倡人文书法。书写出正大气象之神韵。不要堕入当下甚至崇拜西方抽象艺术，脱离中文汉字的文化功能，所谓尚式书法中去，会走向穷途末路无生命力的!这就是我的书法价值观。望大家批评指正。

Lou Shangzhi, male, was born on November 19, 1952 in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. His ancestral home is Zhuji, Zhejiang Province. He grew up in a family of calligraphic calligraphy and calligraphy, and is an international first-class calligrapher. His great-grandfather Lou Rinan, a scholar in the imperial examination of the late Qing Dynasty, was released to Sichuan Province. He was dissatisfied with the corruption of the Qing government and did not support the road preservation movement in Sichuan, so he abandoned the government and returned to his hometown in anger. He founded the ancient Academy of traditional calligraphy culture, which is now preserved in a British auction. The school is the predecessor of Zhuji Normal College. He donated 70,000 books and established the first national library. He served as Senator of the Republic of Zhejiang Province in 1913. When Yuan Shikai restored the monarchy and appointed him prime minister, he was reviled as a thief. These materials are on file at the National Museum of Literature and History. Zhejiang Federation of Literature and Arts held a special discussion and published a collection of Lou Zhenran. Grandpa Lou Vik returned from abroad to do education, known as Lou Geometry. My grandmother founded a Buddhist sewing school. During the Cultural Revolution, people did not look at the articles but looked at the calligraphy.

I grew up in this family subtle environment, all over the body of the classic calligraphy inscription, through decades of learning books, eventually realized that calligraphy is a matter of health and mind, there is no shortcut to go, need to practice good hand hardware, book into the text, accumulation of mind and brain cultural literacy software, is expected to reach the cloud of calligraphy: both form and spirit, the book as its human realm.

Understand that calligraphy is the world's unique cultural treasure, the first quintessence of Chinese culture. Writing is the core of Chinese culture - Chinese characters. The difference with other arts lies in this, if separated from the fundamental function of the spiritual culture, only confined to the scope of art form will have no future, will lose vitality. Just imagine, if a dirty and despicable article, no matter how good the book art can show what? The characteristics of calligraphy are a gas, can not be altered, without modification, avoid artificial real natural day become high. It's different from other arts. To learn books, one must follow the tradition. Today's books cannot be as good as those of the ancients. In addition to the change of writing tools and less use of brush, the most important reason is that the ancients did not have the material temptation of scientific and technological output, so they only worked hard on people's spiritual culture. Therefore, today, if people have too much material desire, their hearts and hands can not be corresponding, and they can not learn calligraphy well. You don't get that kind of spirit. With the progress of The Times, calligraphy will also innovate and develop, and the artistic content should also be equipped. But it's the relationship that always changes. The development of our characters has changed so far, and it has long been unchanged. It comes from the pictographic gene. Every word does not represent things, or represents things. The ancient sages cloud shape and spirit, the book is the true meaning of the person, refers to the person, not only the book, generally refers to the whole person, to have the word metaphysical person's demeanor spirit, but also applies to the viewer what kind of spiritual culture aesthetic infection and influence is very important. It's an essential cultural function. Therefore, humanistic calligraphy should be advocated. Write the charm of the Grand style. Do not fall into the present or even worship Western abstract art. If it is divorced from the cultural function of Chinese characters, the so-called style calligraphy will lead to the end of the road and no vitality! This is my value of calligraphy. Look forward to your criticism and correction.
