He excels in observation, reflection, refinement, and elevation, acquiring creative inspiration through this process. While respecting tradition, he avoids rigid imitation and boldly innovates. After repeated refinement, he has gradually developed a unique artistic style characterized by rounded strokes, fluid lines, and a free-spirited, elegant demeanor, producing numerous acclaimed masterpieces. His running script combines softness with strength, balancing grandeur and elegance, rich in texture and naturally structured.

His clerical script is graceful and unrestrained yet retains depth and solemnity, vigorous and expressive while adhering to rules and standards—truly embodying stillness within movement, movement born of stillness, where stillness enhances beauty and movement arises from tranquility, creating endless charm, profound vigor, extraordinary grace, and breathtaking aesthetics, evoking the image of rolling clouds cascading for miles. His style is as distinctive as his character, forming a unique and self-contained artistic identity.
