His ancestral home is the beautiful and fertile land of Shandong, and he now resides in Beijing. Mr. Liu has been deeply interested in the classics of national learning and calligraphy painting since childhood. He was very young and admired figures such as Zhang Liang, Guiguzi, Zhuge Liang, Liu Bowen, and Mao Zedong for their miraculous strategies and ability to predict the future, as well as their ability to win battles from within the tent. He was fascinated by the legend of Ma Liang, the magical painter who helped those in need and had a brave heart. As a primary school student, he was responsible for writing and drawing the blackboard newspaper for the entire school and had his works published in publications such as the "China Youth Daily". Mr. Liu is modest, approachable, humble, and studious, with rigorous academic research. He has read classics, studied national learning, and is obsessed with calligraphy and painting, never stopping practicing. He has meditated and gained spiritual insights, understanding the cause and effect. Mr. Liu is broad-minded and virtuous, actively involved in charity, donating millions of yuan over the years for social public welfare, and has pledged to build 100 hope schools during his lifetime. He continues to deepen his understanding and sublimation of national learning, I Ching wisdom, and calligraphy and painting art, and has been evaluated by international authoritative art institutions as one of the artists whose works have the greatest potential to exceed ten million yuan in the next ten years. Currently, he is a special guest professor at Peking University, director of the Liu Fengming National Learning Art Gallery in Beijing, chairman of the Chinese People's Calligraphers and Painters Association, Hong Kong Qimen Dunjia Culture Research Institute President, and member of Li Ka-shing's I Ching Environmental Advisory Team. He has done a lot of research and copying on national learning, I Ching, Qimen Dunjia imperial secrets, various calligraphy scripts, and works of famous painters throughout history, absorbing the essence and innovating while not being bound by tradition. He inherited and developed the theory of "The Secret of Chinese Painting and Calligraphy Lies in the I Ching" which was researched and applied by Huang Binhong, the great master of Chinese painting, helping him become a giant in the art world. He integrated the wisdom of national learning and I Ching into his own calligraphy and painting works. Mr. Liu's theories on national learning and I Ching, as well as his calligraphy and painting skills, were inspired by his family's education. Later, when he was young, he encountered an unusual hermit in Jiangsu Yangzhou who taught him the secret techniques of the I Ching Qimen, greatly increasing his interest in the mysterious and esoteric. He used the secret techniques of Qimen Dunjia Fengshui to save many companies on the brink of bankruptcy, and through many miraculous cases, he conquered countless people who were fortunate to meet him. He has participated multiple times as a special chief designer in the Fengshui design of real estate development projects under Li Ka-shing. He was the first to propose the concept of quantum Fengshui, and in class, he explained the Chinese I Ching and Chinese Fengshui in an easy-to-understand way using modern quantum technology principles, allowing business executives to quickly understand the classical national learning and the secret techniques of Qimen Fengshui. As a special guest professor at multiple universities, Mr. Liu lectures on national learning and calligraphy and painting arts. His teaching style is humorous and combines academic theory with practical case studies, allowing students to gain a broader understanding of the classics. When he speaks about the I Ching, it feels as if Fu Xi himself has come to life, covering ancient and modern times! When he talks about the Tao Te Ching, it feels as if Laozi has returned to illuminate the clouds and reveal the truth! When he discusses the secret techniques of the I Ching in enterprise management, it is like a sudden realization that brings immediate results! When he explains the secret techniques of Guiguzi, it feels as if Guiguzi himself has appeared, mastering the strategies of the world! When he talks about the secret techniques of the I Ching in the creation of calligraphy and painting arts, and how to quickly improve the level of calligraphy and painting arts, it feels as if the great master of painting and calligraphy, Huang Binhong, has appeared to explain things in an easy-to-understand way. He has become the leading expert in interpreting the classics of national learning, receiving support from many entrepreneurs, government officials, and celebrities in the arts. Regarding the art of Chinese painting and calligraphy, he follows the teachings of Huang Binhong, saying: "The secret of Chinese painting and calligraphy lies in the I Ching." He also says, "The ancestors of Chinese painting and calligraphy are Fuxi, starting from Fuxi drawing the eight trigrams." In 1993, he accidentally discovered the bird and insect seal script characters, and later discovered the Nushu script, which excited him greatly and made him fall in love with it. From then on, he became closely connected with the art of bird and insect seal script calligraphy, taking Li Si, a great calligrapher from the State of Chu and Qin, as his teacher and diligently practicing and experiencing it. With the spirit of learning from the ancients without being bound by them, he has ensured the inheritance of the authentic bird and insect seal script art. Over the decades, he has invested a lot of time and energy into the creation and research of Chinese national learning, I Ching, Chinese painting, calligraphy art, bird and insect seal script calligraphy, and Nushu calligraphy, achieving fruitful results and receiving recognition and encouragement from many central leaders. Mr. Liu's calligraphy and painting art inherits the artistic lineage of great masters such as Huang Binhong, Qi Baishi, Li Kewen, Li Kuchan, Badashanren, Zheng Banqiao, Ni Zan, and Wu Daozi, thus laying a solid foundation for his unique style of Chinese painting, calligraphy, and seal carving. He is particularly skilled in bird and insect seal script, clerical script, regular script, cursive script, and Chinese painting landscapes, flowers, birds, fish, and insects, as well as the ethereal ice paintings. As the saying goes, "Half a lifetime to paint bamboo, a lifetime to paint orchids," meaning that to paint bamboo requires half a lifetime of practice, and to paint orchids needs a lifetime of effort. However, Mr. Liu, using the wisdom of the I Ching, was called the "Prince of Orchid" in the 1990s. His depiction of flowers, birds, fish, and insects is exquisite, capturing the essence of his predecessors. It fully embodies the magical realm of "not too similar to deceive the world, nor too similar to flatter the masses, but rather the beauty lies between similarity and non-similarity." His small animals and the twelve zodiac signs are amazing, and he was once called "the young Han Meilin" in his youth. His ethereal series of ice paintings present a world of crystal purity, surreal mystique, ethereal tranquility, crystalline clarity, and meticulous detail, yet grand and magnificent, combining traditional Chinese ink with techniques of modeling, composition, perspective, and light and shadow, creating a pure and free super-realistic icy landscape. This shows the rich natural scenery and the beauty of life in the cold, bringing endless joy and imagination to people! He said that among the changing seasons, there is no scenery as wonderful as snow and ice. She is pure, ethereal, quiet, and cool, bringing endless scenes to people. Snow and ice, coming from the sky, have the power to calm the restless, soothe emotions, reduce heat, purify the mind, remain calm, and optimize thinking. And with her brief moment, she becomes dew to nourish all things, blooming a sacred place in people's hearts. Therefore, the entrepreneurs and officials who have interacted with Mr. Liu will ask for a piece of his ice painting to hang in their office. Not only can it be collected and appreciated, but it can also help their minds remain calm and composed to handle complex affairs. His Zen series of Chinese paintings use just a few strokes to express the auspicious meaning and profound insight of the scene, leaving people unable to put them down. His landscape paintings depict distant and profound scenes, majestic Kunlun Mountains, magnificent Taihang Mountains, the vast universe, the dark yellow of heaven and earth, grand and magnificent, making people feel relaxed and full of enthusiasm, leaving viewers overwhelmed with emotion. Such works can more easily inspire people's love for the country and nature, fostering a sense of patriotism and love for nature! Mr. Liu's seal carving art, influenced by great masters such as Wu Changshuo, Qi Baishi, and Huang Binhong, has formed a unique artistic style characterized by clear, strong, ancient, and elegant features, earning the admiration and high praise of knowledgeable experts in the calligraphy and painting circles! Through long-term teaching and application of national learning wisdom, and in the practice of Chinese painting and calligraphy art creation, he discovered the "Liu Fengming Three Steps Method for Chinese Painting" and the "Liu Fengming Three Steps Method for Calligraphy," enabling students' artistic levels to rapidly grow. His students are spread all over the world, with many disciples. Mr. Liu's calligraphy and painting art series have participated in many international and domestic exhibitions and have won awards. His works have been collected by major art galleries, political figures, entrepreneurs, and entertainment stars in the United States, Canada, Australia, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Macao, and other places. His biography has been included in many authoritative contemporary encyclopedias, and national and provincial-level media as well as major online media have provided detailed reports. Currently, he is a national learning scholar, a special guest professor at Peking University, the president of the Hong Kong Qimen Dunjia Research Institute, chairman of the Chinese People's Calligraphers and Painters Association, a member of the Chinese Calligraphy Association, a member of the Chinese Painting Association, the president of the American Chinese National Learning I Ching Association, a national-level fine artist, director of the Liu Fengming National Learning Art Gallery in Beijing, president of the China Liu Fengming National Learning Calligraphy and Painting Institute, and serves as a cultural strategy advisor for several enterprise groups.
