Mr. Liu’s calligraphy is characterized by its grandeur, elegance, vigor, and freedom, blending stele inscriptions with classical script styles, rich in connotation and profound traditional mastery, exhibiting a unique artistic style described as “cold spring rinsing jade, autumn hawk diving into the forest, tiger leaping across the sky.” His publications include: “An Outline of the Chinese Academic Calligraphy System,” comprising thirty-six chapters. Mr. Zhang Yefa, Vice Chairman of the China Calligraphers Association and Chairman of the Shandong Calligraphers Association, among other renowned experts, praised his calligraphy: “High positioning, strong academic foundation, distinctive style, and brilliant works.” Mr. Qiu Chengguang, Deputy Director of the World Calligraphy Alliance and Chairman of the Singapore Calligraphy and Seal Carving Association, inscribed in praise of his calligraphy: “Iron brush resounds with true soul.” Mr. Wu Weichun, renowned calligraphy professor in Beijing, commented: “He enters the principles of the Sacred Teachings, captures the essence of Li Beihai, and harmonizes the dual rhythms of stele and帖script.” His calligraphy possesses high academic value and artistic collectibility.
The essence of calligraphy lies in the expression of one’s spirit—it is the outward manifestation of personal temperament, emotion, and soul. One’s spiritual realm is further elevated through the movement of brush and ink. It is precisely for this reason that Mr. Liu has devoted decades to researching and creating calligraphy as his primary pursuit. His brushstrokes are seasoned and powerful, his structures dynamic and daringly unconventional. While deeply rooted in traditional mastery, his work also passionately expresses individuality. A comprehensive view of Mr. Liu’s calligraphy clearly reveals his inheritance from ancient masters, synthesis of diverse essences, and bold innovation.
In 2018, Mr. Liu inscribed the title for China’s major documentary “One Shot Through · I Love You, China.”
Awarded Gold Prize at the National Calligraphy and Painting Touring Exhibition “Celebrating the 90th Anniversary of the Founding of the Communist Party of China.”
First Prize at the National Calligraphy and Painting Touring Exhibition “The Party Flag Sweeping Through 90 Years.”
Gold Prize at two editions of the “Commemorating Mao Zedong’s Birthday” Calligraphy and Painting Exhibitions.

First Prize at the “Commemorating the 70th Anniversary of the War of Resistance Against Japan” Calligraphy and Painting Exhibition by Generals and Masters.
Today, Mr. Liu’s works have matured and gained widespread recognition. I once advised him to raise his artwork pricing, but he dismissed the idea, telling me: “Calligraphy art belongs to the nation and to the people. I should follow Mr. Wei Qihou’s example in popularizing calligraphy, not merely pursuing personal gain. My artwork pricing should remain at a level affordable for ordinary families.”
