Personal Profile
Li Jiqun, male, ancestral home in Shenyang, Liaoning, holds a university degree, and is currently a council member of the China Youth Calligraphers Association and a member of the Shenyang Calligraphers Association. He has been engaged in the research and creation of calligraphy for over thirty years, initially studying Tang dynasty calligraphy, then tracing back to the Qin, Han, Wei, and Jin dynasties, extensively absorbing diverse strengths.
Zhuangzi said: "Great wisdom is broad and relaxed; petty wisdom is narrow and fussy. Great speech is brilliant and expansive; petty speech is trivial and nitpicking." This holds true for scholarship, and likewise for calligraphy and painting—it requires a vast perspective and profound cultural cultivation. Calligraphic techniques can be attained through daily practice, but the ultimate pursuit of calligraphy as an art—its artistic realm and spiritual essence—not only demands objective effort, but more importantly, deep scholarly attainments. Chinese calligraphy has served as a vehicle in the historical development of Chinese civilization and is closely linked to the Chinese people's worldview. I believe that Chinese calligraphy has witnessed the evolution of Chinese culture for thousands of years; each character was endowed by our ancestors with meanings derived from life, making them a precious treasure of our nation.
