Mr. Jiang Dawen loved calligraphy deeply since he was a child. He repeatedly copied famous calligraphy posts from Wang, Yan, Liu, Ou, Mi, Zhao and so on. He also learned and mastered the research and practice of imitating Song Dynasty and ceramic calligraphy art, and he was able to integrate the ancient with the present and form his own unique calligraphy style. Fonts are particularly prominent in running script. The small characters are vigorous, clear, textured and full of charm. The big characters (list books) are vigorous and magnificent.
The ancients said: "To cover the impossibility of the heaven and the earth, to show that the sun and the moon do not shine, with a slender brush, all kinds of things can be controlled by the mind, and the ability of a square inch can be unfolded, and thousands of miles are in the palm of your hand." If you want the world to be in your heart, you must have it , waving the sleeves and expressing the hair, showing the spirit of the ancient times, inheriting the humanities of the millennium, setting the benchmark for future generations, and observing the works of the ancients, bear this thought in the mind, save yourself from time to time, and dare not slack off.
Inheriting the ancient method from the teacher, we can’t keep it from the old. Calligraphy and painting must not only enter the tradition, but also come out of the tradition, absorb the essence from the ancient posts, explore the real feelings in real life, and gain inner resonance from practice. Find your own way where there is no road. What is more important than "learning from the traces of the ancients" is "learning from the hearts of the ancients."
