我和永金的最初交往缘于他寄来的《赵永金书法篆刻作品集》。我们多年未曾谋面,靠的是电话交流,作品交流。永金每有新作,必寄我一观。我从诸多展览和书籍中所了解的一段段印象,逐渐地累加而清晰起来。因为时空的距离,对他评价就更直接、更客观。在我看来,永金对于书法篆刻有一种宽容而闲淡的“游于艺”的心态。兴趣是最好的老师,他在玩赏中取得不凡成绩,但他创作用功极勤,深感不于老实处勤奋用功,将难有所成,在勤奋中获取新的灵感,不流于虚伪浅薄。 My initial contact with Yong Kim was due to his “Zhao Yong Gold Calligraphy and Seal Cutting Works Collection.” We have not met for many years, rely on the telephone exchange, work exchange. Wing Kim every new work, will send me a view. The impression I have learned from many exhibitions and books gradually accumulates and becomes clear. Because of the distance between time and space, the evaluation of him is more direct and objective. In my opinion, Yongjin has a kind of tolerance and idleness for the calligraphic carving. Interest is the best teacher, he made extraordinary achievements in the reward, but he creatively hard-working, not honestly hard-working, hard to accomplish, hard-working to get new inspiration, not flowing in the hypocrisy .
