《华夏名人荟萃》文献评价其书作:是一位从传统中萃取精华、升华自然美学,不论工作多忙,每天都会挤出时间,在书法游艺中,在艺术上求新、求奇、求变、永葆艺术青春活力。

《中国杰出人物志》文献评价其书作:其传承有自,气象正大,独具一格,布局浑然一体,典雅清逸,字里行间洋溢一种豪纵奔逸情致,确是当今不可多得的文化底蕴深厚的书法家。

中国新长城组织委员会评审:其浸淫中国传统文化多年,深得书画同源之道,把山水国画中的人物写意,与草书书法的点横勾引划,有机地揉合在一起,力求以立意为先,追求章法布局上国画美感。其草书既得张旭的激荡狂突、灵虚飘逸之魂;又有米芾回旋曲折、气古韵高之妙,细品之下,刚劲有力、落笔亦掷地有声,用笔用墨皆行云流水,一气呵成。

人民日报民生周刊袭古创今纪录片评价:阮祖英书法的整体面貌:楷书圆润、挺拔、雄壮、厚重,而又灵活多变,笔笔不同;错落有致,而又统一和谐;行书笔毫的使转相互牵连,以传统的提按为主,藏锋、逆锋、方笔、切笔互用,形成舒展,流动的韵律,神采飞扬,富有节奏。“笔精墨妙 典雅清逸”乃阮祖英书法创作的真实写照,在楷书、行书的基础上,他更长于草书,善用章法来营造书法的整体气势,通过对字形的大小、长短、开合以至用笔的轻重徐疾、墨韵浓淡枯润的变化,构筑书法作品平衡统一的整体,其用笔既紧扣千古不易的“中锋”,又临机巧运,变幻莫测,笔不到而意到,形神兼备,初看喜欢,久看更爱,让观赏者透过笔墨神韵能感受到其丰富多姿且自然成趣的意境之美。

CCTV4国宝档案评价：观阮祖英先生作品，首先给人的第一印象就是灵动儒雅，线条挺拔，富有韵味。作品深藏圭角，有往必收，疏密均衡，形象自然，于平正中见险绝，险绝中求趣味。粗细形态变化规律，使书法中笔画线条产生了较强的节奏感。其字又有一种洒脱飘逸，平稳沉静之感。

品牌中国编者按：阮祖英先生是一位功力深厚、风格鲜明、格调高实力派书法家。他的书法展现出对传统经典的深入理解和扎实功底。其笔法精到、纯熟，起收转折皆合乎法度，线条富有质感和生命力。其楷书功力深厚，法度森严，端庄秀雅，静穆中不乏灵动之意。行书作品气韵生动，流畅自然，章法布局疏密得当，字与字之间呼应连贯，行气贯通。用墨浓淡干湿变化丰富，节奏感强。整体风格清雅俊逸，在飘逸灵动中不失沉着与稳重，富有书卷气，观之令人心旷神怡。其草书创作在狂放奔逸之余能严守法度，做到了“纵而不乱，狂而不野”。能将情感的自然宣泄与笔墨的精准控制相结合，展现出很强的艺术表现力。无论从技术、艺术还是收藏角度，阮祖英先生的作品都堪称上乘。他是当代书坛一位非常值得关注和尊敬的实干型艺术家，其作品是古典书法美在当代的优美延续。

Collection of Chinese Celebrities commented on his calligraphy: He is an artist who extracts essence from tradition and elevates natural aesthetics. No matter how busy he is with work, he makes time every day to engage in calligraphy practice. He constantly seeks innovation, uniqueness and transformation in his art, always maintaining the vitality and youthfulness of his artistic creation.

Records of Chinese Outstanding Figures commented on his calligraphy: His calligraphy inherits the essence of traditional art, presenting a grand and upright artistic conception with a unique style. The composition of his works is coherent and harmonious, exuding an elegant and refined charm. His characters are filled with a bold and unrestrained spirit, making him a rare calligrapher with profound cultural heritage in today's era.

The Evaluation Committee of the China New Great Wall Organization commented: Having immersed himself in traditional Chinese culture for many years, he has a deep understanding of the concept that "calligraphy and painting share the same origin". He organically integrates the freehand brushwork of figures in traditional Chinese landscape painting with the strokes of cursive calligraphy, striving to prioritize artistic conception and pursue the aesthetic charm of traditional Chinese painting in the composition of his calligraphy works. His cursive calligraphy not only captures the unrestrained, vigorous, ethereal and elegant spirit of Zhang Xu's calligraphy, but also embodies the intricate, graceful and timeless charm of Mi Fu's works. Upon careful appreciation, his calligraphy is powerful and forceful, with each stroke striking a chord like a stone hitting the ground. His brushwork and ink application are as fluid as flowing water, creating a cohesive and unified artistic effect in one continuous movement.

People's Daily Life Weekly commented in the documentary Inheriting the Past and Innovating the Future: The overall style of Ruan Zuying's calligraphy is characterized by the following features: his regular script is round, straight, majestic and profound, yet flexible and varied, with each stroke being unique; the characters are arranged in a well-proportioned and harmonious manner. His running script features interconnected strokes driven by the turning and movement of the brush, mainly adopting the traditional techniques of lifting and pressing, combined with the use of hidden strokes, reversed strokes, square strokes and cut strokes, creating a stretched and flowing rhythm that exudes vitality and a strong sense of cadence. "Exquisite brushwork and ink application, elegant and refined artistry" is a true portrayal of Ruan Zuying's calligraphy creation. Based on his solid foundation in regular script and running script, he excels particularly in cursive script. He is adept at using composition to create the overall momentum of his calligraphy works. Through variations in the size, length and arrangement of characters, as well as the weight, speed and rhythm of brushwork, and the richness of ink tones ranging from thick to light, wet to dry, he constructs a balanced and unified artistic whole. His brushwork closely adheres to the timeless principle of "central tip brushwork", while also demonstrating ingenious and unpredictable changes according to the situation. His works achieve the effect of "conveying meaning even when the brush stops", embodying both form and spirit. They are appealing at first sight and become even more charming upon repeated appreciation, allowing viewers to feel the rich, diverse and naturally interesting artistic conception through the charm of his brush and ink.

CCTV-4's National Treasure Archives commented: The first impression of Mr. Ruan Zuying's works is their vividness and elegance, with straight and forceful lines that exude a unique charm. His works conceal sharp edges and corners, with each stroke having a clear beginning and end, presenting a balanced composition with natural and lifelike characters. They embody bold and innovative elements within a neat and orderly framework, seeking artistic interest in bold variations. The thickness and shape of the strokes change in a regular pattern, creating a strong sense of rhythm in the lines of his calligraphy. His characters also exude a free and easy, calm and poised charm.

The editorial note of Brand China commented: Mr. Ruan Zuying is a powerful calligrapher with profound skills, a distinctive style and an elegant artistic taste. His calligraphy demonstrates an in-depth understanding of traditional classics and solid professional foundation. His brushwork is precise and skilled, with the starting, ending, turning and transitioning of strokes all complying with traditional calligraphy rules, and his lines are full of texture and vitality. His regular script showcases profound skills and strict adherence to calligraphy norms, presenting a dignified, elegant and refined style that exudes vitality amidst tranquility. His running script works are vivid and fluid, with a coherent rhythm and well-proportioned composition, where characters echo and connect with each other seamlessly. His use of ink is rich and varied, with distinct changes in tone and a strong sense of rhythm. His overall style is elegant and unrestrained, combining composure and stability with free and vivid brushwork, exuding a scholarly charm that brings a sense of peace and joy to viewers. His cursive calligraphy creation maintains strict adherence to calligraphy rules while expressing bold and unrestrained emotions, achieving the effect of "being free but not messy, bold but not wild". He is able to combine the natural expression of emotions with the precise control of brush and ink, demonstrating strong artistic expressiveness. From the perspectives of technique, artistry and collection value, Mr. Ruan Zuying's works are of the highest quality. He is a highly respected and down-to-earth artist in the contemporary calligraphy circle, and his works are an excellent continuation of the beauty of classical calligraphy in the modern era.
