Personal Profile
Jiang Jianmin, pen name Jiang Bo, is a painter and calligrapher, a National First-Class Artist, born in May 1962 in Shaanxi Province’s Huyi District, Xi’an City, and a resident of Fuan Road Community, Qindu District, Xianyang City.

He has repeatedly showcased his calligraphy and painting artworks at various provincial and municipal events such as “Me and My Motherland,” Spring Festival Celebrations, National Day Commemorations, August 1st Army Day, and “Heart-to-Heart Qin Family Serving the Public,” earning widespread acclaim.
Jiang Jianmin specializes in calligraphy and painting, particularly excelling in flower-and-bird paintings. He has won numerous awards in various calligraphy and painting competitions held by both military units and civilian organizations. Over 100 of his works have been published in newspapers and magazines including the People’s Army Newspaper, Sanqin Metropolitan Daily, Xianyang Daily, and Xianyang Supervision.
Jiang Jianmin serves as a cultural instructor at Fuan Road Community in Xianyang City. In 1999, he founded the Chenyang Calligraphy and Painting Training Class, diligently nurturing students for over two decades with outstanding results. Jiang has developed a flexible teaching method and an innovative approach to practicing calligraphy: he demonstrates characters starting from basic strokes, giving each stroke vivid, imaginative names based on their characteristics—dots are like eyes that must be spirited; horizontal and vertical strokes form a stable framework;撇 (left-falling) and 捺 (right-falling) strokes should be graceful and flowing; curved hooks and twists must be lively and agile; returning or resting strokes reveal expression; the length of horizontal strokes depends on context above and below; vertical strokes with downward needles determine stability; left-falling strokes vary in curvature and complement right-falling strokes; curved hooks must be appropriately sized.
Under the devoted guidance of Teacher Jiang Jianmin, a large number of young calligraphy talents have emerged. More than 300 of his students have received medals, plaques, and certificates of honor in national, Shaanxi Provincial, and Xianyang City-level calligraphy and painting competitions. Teacher Jiang has also received multiple “Outstanding Gardener Award” and “Outstanding Organization Award” honors.
