The report of the 19 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward: “Cultural self-confidence.” The manifesto of this era also points out that culture is the soul of a country and a nation. Prosperity of culture means prosperity of the country, and a strong culture means a strong nation. Without a high degree of cultural confidence and cultural prosperity, there would be no great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Culture is the backbone and soul of a nation. It creates the soul and character of a country and a nation. A nation can exist in the world only if it has cultural self-confidence. Only when the people have faith can the country have strength and the nation have hope. Cultural self-confidence is the most important factor contributing to these goals.

— Record of the famous calligrapher Lin Wenliang

Calligraphy is called art because it has rules. Mr. Lin Wenliang, a famous contemporary calligrapher, loved calligraphy since childhood. When he was young, he copied the master’s works, inherited his own family, posted Yan style and Liu style, and studied the works of Wang’s. Through years of posting, and after his own awareness of calligraphy cultural quality, he gained a deeper essence of calligraphy from the works, which also showed in the calligraphy with strong and handsome techniques as well as elegance. His calligraphy was strong and unique.

It is not easy to achieve self and create a calligraphy path of your own in the integration of copybook and inscription. Mr. Lin Wenliang fully captures the energetic calligraphy and the bold and simple inscription school, and takes the advantages of both, so that the spirit of calligraphy and the essence of inscription can be integrated for his own use. From this, he understands the mystery of calligraphy art, and makes his calligraphy personality show incisively and vividly. Mr. Lin’s calligraphy styles are all involved, and he has opened up a new world of his own calligraphy with different faces from other schools.

Looking at his calligraphy, people can find that he won the vigorous and open style of Yan and the vigorous and vivid style of Liu.

His oblique drawing of words is tight, and he doesn’t follow the usual practice. The layout of rules is metaphorical, and the relationship between strokes is increased, which strengthens the expressive force of rhythm and speed. It contains novelty in the flat, alcohol in the elegant, and a myriad of gestures outside the words. With the promotion of his techniques, his style shows beautiful charm and smooth charm, supported by rules, expressed by agility, fine, subtle and not delicate, and smooth.

In-depth study of calligraphy posts, the brushwork is wonderful and free. Mr. Lin Wenliang is not an unconventional calligrapher. His calligraphy creation is always based on the tradition of calligraphy and inscriptions. He is not only familiar with artistic rules, but also has magical powers in structural arrangement. All the lines are dense and silent in his works. When he creates, all the paintings come from the classics and belong to the charm of Jin and the style of Tang. He is a master of all the wonderful togetherness!
