Tianye’s Xingyi Calligraphy, Double-Hook Calligraphy—fluid like flowing water, powerful yet not stiff, elegant yet not frivolous. Double-hook calligraphy is an extremely rare and unique performance form in the art of calligraphy. Suspended brush calligraphy is regarded as the pinnacle of calligraphy art! Tianye integrates Xingyi, Double-Hook, and Suspended Brush Calligraphy into a distinctive style known as “Suspended Xingyi Double-Hook Calligraphy”—a masterpiece of immense collection value! The Art Committee of the Chinese Academy of Painting and Calligraphy, based on domestic market trends, assessed Tianye’s work rate at 5,000 RMB per square foot. His works have been treasured by actors Wu Jing, Guo Degang, Zhang Hanyu, among others. Tianye’s stage performance style is uniquely original, perfectly blending danger, risk, wonder, excellence, and beauty! He elevates calligraphy from mere art to performance art—a true marvel on the Chinese stage. Painting Style: Natural and unrestrained, subtle meaning over literal resemblance. His plum blossom series—"Snow Plum," "Purple Plum," "Pink Plum," "Red Plum"—and calligraphy pieces "Hundred Blessings" and "Hundred Smoothnesses" are widely praised within the entertainment industry. These plum blossom works symbolize: “Plum blossoms bloom fragrant only after enduring bitter cold; only through hardship can one rise above others.” His works have been reported by East Entertainment Network, China.com, Sanya Calligraphy Exchange, and the Three Gorges Cross-Strait Calligraphy Exhibition, earning recognition and collections from various sectors. Tianye believes calligraphy is an art emphasizing weight, speed, and rhythm, much like life—it best cultivates character. Practicing calligraphy makes one calmer, more disciplined, with stronger willpower and enhanced abilities. In this gradual process, Tianye discovered the joy of calligraphy, found himself, and gained deeper insights into life. Calligraphy has built for Tianye a platform offering more opportunities to reflect on life. Practicing calligraphy is also savoring life itself. The rule in Chinese character structure—“mutual accommodation and yielding”—teaches him to write upright and proper characters, just as we must uphold such principles in interpersonal relationships to become truly upright individuals. In fact, Tianye often employs “negative space” in calligraphy because “emptiness and fullness generate each other; empty spaces are equally wondrous.” Similarly, leaving room in life is an art. “By appropriately relaxing the mind and clearing mental clutter, our life space becomes broader.” It is precisely through persistent dedication that Tianye gains profound life insights and understands life’s essence. As his understanding and insight into calligraphy deepen, Tianye pursues higher mastery. He believes aesthetic appreciation should evolve with the times—even calligraphy aesthetics must keep pace. Only rooted in popular culture and aligned with the tastes of ordinary people can calligraphy continue to develop. The peak of dreams must be visible above us, then acted upon—only then can it be reached. Tianye doesn’t harbor grand ideals; he simply wishes to continue striving to write well and cultivate virtue. Those who dream fly higher!
