Calligrapher Tian Zhu - Learning by Linchi, Ink in the Pond

Personal profile:

Tian Zhu was born in Beijing in 1974. I studied under Mr. Gao Weidong. Proficient in regular script, running script, and seal carving. I am currently a member of the Fengtai District Calligraphy Association and a director of the Defu Brothers Calligraphy and Painting Academy.

I have been studying calligraphy since I was young, and I have been learning Zhao Mengfu's "Records of Three Gates", "Danba Stele", "Zhao Mengfu's Red Cliff Ode before and after the Book", etc. I have been deeply immersed in Zhao! Later, Zhao Yuan followed Wang Xizhi's "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection" and "Preface to the Holy Teachings". At the same time, in order to improve the theoretical level of calligraphy, I also studied Sun Guoting's "Shupu" and "Haiyue Mingyan". After years of study and hard work, I first pursued the skill of "learning calligraphy by the pond and ink by the pond". Later, I learned that "the master of calligraphy is a mysterious skill that cannot be learned without being a knowledgeable person." Although various calligraphy art creations in the current calligraphy world are diverse, and the trend of ugliness and chaos is also showing their abilities, I still do not change my ambition to explore the past. We also take "inheriting tradition, inheriting the style of ancient holy books, and adhering to loneliness" as our unchanging motto.
