在当代作中国画仍然保持着晚明清文人画的心境。我们常说心境营造画境，真如吴湖帆先生所讲，在静谧中作画自有一股仙气。

臧建民认为中国画进入晚明，姿态千变万化，但笔墨的本质仍在凝练中绽放出空灵幽静的画境，用现代的话讲就是有一种时空感，其实就是古人认为的天人合一的虚境，古画论讲董其昌的笔姿凝练、畅意，有一种禅意，将古诗人孤寂高傲的心境尽显在画面中，艺术作品的创作入进了虚境，画家的创作思想就深深地扎进了高古的本质。

“惆怅阶前红牡丹”，高古与惆怅是一种心境的炼合，笔起如风拂诗吟，心境与水墨晕化合一，这时画面是高古的，然而牡丹却绽放出艳丽的清艳，画出傲骨，画出华彩。臧建民对古诗境理解就在画之味道、画出平淡画出率意。明清花卉的本质就是“旧时王谢堂前燕，飞入寻常百姓家”，王谢不变，情调入姿。那淡淡的水墨在臧建民灵动的水墨中非常清幽，带着一种抒情的泠泠。写意画本是高洁之艺，作画如高山流水遇知音，浓装淡抹总相宜，画中的虚静完全如水墨之笔写将来，一划天际，顿时一种升华。花蕊挂在了天际，花蕊之点缀如繁星之光透入心田，而花枝的细笔轻淡如水袖抛出，故所张彦远把气韵与骨法置于中国画的本质。

臧建民画的花姿随笔姿入骨，深解“杨州八怪”的清峻冷傲中寄情的热情，这种花卉不似青藤的狂放，也不是“八大”的怪戾，其画面中作者倾注的思想有情有姿，有笔有韵，真是“未有曲调先有情”。情真了，笔墨就显出“平淡之中见绚烂，真放之中本精微。”我与谢稚柳先生交往多年，谢稚柳先生常对我讲这句诗是他的专利，我随着年事的增长，越加深入体验。臧建民与我交淡中，我们很有话交流，但言语又是不多的，真是朋友之交得一“悟”字。真的水墨画的本色比当代那些墨韵不足色彩凑的彩墨画胜过几佰倍。

臧建民很有灵性，又有扎实的书法之功力，真是信来之笔出神入化，水墨起舞清影，花景仙意风骨托出，这也是中国画诗境与水墨画的本质。

In the contemporary Chinese painting still maintained the late Ming and Qing literati painting state of mind. We often say that the mood to create painting, really, as Mr. Wu Hufan said, in the quiet of the painting own a Xianqi.

Zang Jianmin that the Chinese painting into the late Ming, posture ever-changing, but the essence of ink is still concise in the blooming ethereal quiet picture, with modern words that there is a sense of time and space, in fact, the ancients think that the harmony between heaven and earth, On the Dong Qichang's concise and concise, there is a kind of Zen, the ancient poet lonely arrogant mood in the picture, the creation of works of art into the virtual environment, the artist's creative thinking deeply into the The essence of ancient times.

"Melancholy order before the red peony", high ancient and melancholy is a state of mind, the pen from the wind blowing poem, mood and water halo of the unity, then the picture is high ancient, but peony is blooming gorgeous Qingyan, painted proud, painted Huacai. Zang Jianmin understanding of the ancient poetry in the painting of the taste, draw a plain draw rate of Italy. The essence of the Ming and Qing Dynasties flowers is "old Wang Xie Tang Qian Yan, flew into the ordinary people home", Wang Xie unchanged, mood into the posture. That faint ink in the Zang Jianmin Smart ink is very quiet, with a lyrical Lingling. The painting is a high-quality art, painting, such as mountains and rivers meet the sound of the world, the light of the total affordable, the painting in the virtual and completely like ink to write the future, a horizon, suddenly a sublimation. Stamens hanging in the sky, flowers, such as the stars dotted into the heart of the stars, and squid thin pen light like a water sleeve thrown, so Zhang Yanyuan to the rhyme and bone in the nature of Chinese painting.

Zang Jianmin painting of the posture posture into the bone, deep solution of "Yangzhou eight strange" Qing Jun cold arrogance in the passion, this flower is not like wild rattan wild, nor is the "eight" bizarre, the author of the picture The idea of ​​affectionate posture, there are rhyme rhyme, really "no song first love." "I talked with Mr. Xie Zhi Liu for many years, Mr. Xie Zhi Liu often told me that the poem is his patent, I am with the old age of the past Growth, more in-depth experience. Zang Jianmin and I pay, we have a conversation, but the words are not much, really friends of a "Wu" word. The true color of ink painting than those of the Mexican ink less than the color of the colorful ink painting is better than Bai Bai times.

Zang Jianmin very spiritual, but also a solid calligraphy of the skill, it is the letter of the pen into the superb, ink dancing Qingying, flower cents cents proud of the wind, which is the essence of Chinese painting and ink painting.
