Chen Zeqin’s external evaluation

Singaporean calligraphy master Mr. Pan Shou praised Mowen calligraphy for "using seal script as a scribe and using the spirit of running script to express it." He hit the nail on the head and expressed the wonder of Mowen calligraphy. As the saying goes, “The beholder is the judge of the world,” so I have several times chatted with friends from out of town about the development of contemporary calligraphy in Shaanxi. In addition to being deeply envious of Shaanxi’s good calligraphy environment and solid mass calligraphy foundation, my friends also expressed their admiration for several elders in the calligraphy circle. His calligraphy works are highly praised. Among them, they especially admire Mr. Chen Shaomo and think that Mr. Chen's calligraphy is ancient and refined. Although he has been vigorously promoted by the media for many years, anyone who has read his calligraphy will be impressed by the strange and changing charm of his pen and the calm and tranquil state that pervades his works. In particular, at the age of ninety, he is still writing books with full power and spirit, which is a miracle.

Mo Weng’s writing is extremely free and easy, and his writing is fast and well-prepared. His calligraphy has extremely rich changes in stroke form and glyph structure. Many strokes seem to be picked up casually, but they have unique charm. Just as Mr. Li Zhengfeng praised in his quatrains: "It moves and jumps with the spirit, and it is impossible to escape from the rabbit and startle the giant; when it is real, it is empty, and when it is empty, it is real, and it is strange and magical." In the running script works, Mo Weng used a mixture of running and cursive scripts. In the official script works, the seal and official scripts are uneven, the structure is well-proportioned, the writing style is rich in changes, the contrast between light and heavy is strong, and the whole text has a bright sense of rhythm, so it can create a strong artistic effect. Contagious.

Whether he is writing or writing, Mo Weng uses a chicken-hair pen. This kind of brush stroke is extremely soft and difficult to control, but Mo Weng uniquely uses its characteristic of changing strokes, making it easy to lift with ease.
