First of all, it shows the artistic ability of integrating various calligraphy styles. At first glance, Bai Hong's regular script is modeled after Yan Zhenqing, a Tang Dynasty man, but upon closer reading, he has many of his own processing methods, such as the adjustment of light and heavy, and the contrast of thick and dry, which are not mechanically copied; his cursive script also uses many seal script techniques. The brushwork and Beibei's brushwork have strong friction and astringency, showing composure and solemnity in their movements. As a calligrapher living in real life, Bai Hong also strives for new changes, but he always avoids going to extremes and does not keep up with the current trends. In the calligraphy world, people's desire for novelty and excitement has become an aesthetic fashion trend. Bai Hong absorbed the strengths of various schools without following the trend. This has kept his calligraphy style in a slow and gradual stage of change and is relatively fixed. For example, his cursive writing is both flying and steady, simple and thick. Flying is easier, while thick is more difficult. His cursive writing seems to benefit from the skill of regular script, which makes the cursive writing dripping with ink, flying but not smooth, so it has the beauty of intertwining emotions and rationality.
The other is the rationalist spirit in the work. Bai Hong's cursive calligraphy is more restrained than indulgent, more controlled than exaggerated, showing his calmness and elegance in creation, controlling the complete rise and fall of lines and the opening and closing of glyphs. It can be said that this kind of work is less visually impactful and less dramatic, but if you savor it carefully, you will find that the rhyme is in it and runs through the whole article. In particular, he incorporated some of the writing methods of Beibei into the cursive writing. The frame is solid, the writing is deep, and there is no decoration at all.
Thirdly, Bai Hong's works reflect that his personal aesthetics have always been relatively stable, following ancient styles and adhering to tradition, without being affected by fashionable calligraphy styles at all. Since the 1990s, Mr. Bai has turned a blind eye to major exhibitions and competitions in society. His aesthetic focus is entirely based on his own spirit. Only when the calligraphy style is more personal can it stand out and be recognized by society and the public. It should be said that after half a century of studying and writing thousands of words, Mr. Bai Hong has been developing in this direction, focusing on the accumulation of personal experience and the expression of talents, striving to be different from others and different from his old self.
