Professional Development and Learning Experience: After graduating from high school, I joined the army and have been dedicated to the study of traditional calligraphy and literature and history. During this time, I self-studied liberal arts courses at Hebei Normal University. In 1982, I pursued professional development in the army and graduated from the History, Literature, and Poetry Writing department of Yalu River Correspondence University. In 2020, I participated in the national-level Ningxia Training Course for Urgently Needed and Scarce Talents in Cultural Relics and Art Appraisal. I studied under renowned national experts and professors, including Mr. Wang Zhiguo, an expert in judicial collection and appraisal in Ningxia; Professor Chen Yimin, an expert in Shanghai cultural relics collection and appraisal; Mr. Chen Xiaojun, an expert in cultural relics appraisal; Mr. Li Zengzeng, an expert and former director of the Ningxia Museum; Mr. Wang Gusheng, an expert researcher and former deputy director of the Ningxia Museum; Ms. Wang Ping, an expert researcher of cultural relics at the Ningxia Museum; Mr. Zhou Dongbo, director of the Ningxia Cultural Relics Appraisal and Research Society; Mr. Yue Jian, an expert researcher in Ningxia history and culture; and Mr. Wang Yong, a judicial appraisal expert from Chongqing. I graduated from this program.
Calligraphy Art Study Journey: I have loved studying calligraphy since childhood and have deeply delved into the calligraphy of the Two Wangs (Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi) and studied various scripts. Over the years, I have been meticulously guided and influenced by the teachings and examples of contemporary renowned masters of calligraphy and painting, Mr. Wu Dian Tang and Mr. Li Fa Lin. My artistic attainment in calligraphy has gradually paved the way towards a successful path suited to my unique artistic style.
Through years of unremitting effort, by delving into the past and present in the fields of calligraphy and collection, and through arduous practice, I have found a path to artistic success that suits me. I am now a renowned calligrapher, a renowned collector, a renowned connoisseur, and a renowned cultural and artistic critic.
