Since the 1980s, his works have been published in multiple publications including the Calligraphy Newspaper. His calligraphy creations, including an 83-meter-long scroll of Mao Zedong’s poems, have been featured on Shaanxi and Xi’an television stations. He has won more than ten gold awards in provincial, municipal, military, and national large-scale calligraphy and painting exhibitions. His works have been included in numerous major compendiums such as the Selected Collection of Chinese Calligraphy, Contemporary Calligraphy, Biographical Dictionary of Chinese Artists, Masterpieces of Chinese Ink and Brush, and Shaanxi Cultural Figures.
In 2006, he was invited by the University of California, USA, to participate in the "Asian Forum," delivering a lecture and live calligraphy performance, for which he received the Best Evaluation Award. During the 2008 Olympic Games, he was invited to conduct calligraphy and painting activities at the Junwang Mansion in Beijing. At the request of the World Harmony Foundation, he wrote over 15,000 characters of the United Nations Charter in Chinese calligraphy, earning him the title of the Sole Chinese Calligrapher of the UN Charter. In 2010, as a calligraphy judge, he participated in a calligraphy and painting exhibition in Macao, where his live brushwork performance generated a strong response. In 2013, he successfully held a solo calligraphy and painting exhibition at the Yulang International Art Museum in Xi’an; the media praised his exhibition for enhancing the charm of the ancient city during the Double Ninth Festival. In 2014, he was invited to appear on a special interview program about calligraphy at the Ta Kung Pao Television Studio in Hong Kong. In the same year, in December, to commemorate the 121st anniversary of Mao Zedong’s birth, he held a solo exhibition featuring calligraphy of Mao’s poems, earning high acclaim for his diverse script styles and innovative compositional techniques. In 2015, he was invited to participate in a joint calligraphy and painting exhibition in Taiwan, where nine of his works were collected by the Taiwan New Century Cultural Art Association.
His calligraphy, characterized by graceful strokes, reimagined artistic structures, innovative compositional methods, and a distinctive personal style, has garnered significant attention in contemporary art circles. The China Calligraphy and Painting Collection Research Institute evaluated his works as follows: “Through studying your calligraphy, we observe a calm and composed use of ink and composition—masterful yet seemingly simple, expressive and spontaneous, with brush following inspiration. From afar, your works appear vigorous, plain, substantial, and unrestrained; up close, they reveal an elegant, natural, and fluid visual charm. This charm enables even those unfamiliar with calligraphy to sense the majestic momentum and ancient elegance within, achieving the highest realm of appeal to both refined and popular tastes.”
