General Li Qike's calligraphy is good at running script. His calligraphy works are integrated with the cursive style, with odd and positive characters, which change into a state of touch. In the visual image, he gains the richness of aesthetic expression by natural exaggeration, inclination, and strengthening the momentum and tension of strokes and fonts, which is vigorous but elegant, vertical and subtle. Rudolph Arnhai, a western visual art critic, pointed out in his book Art and Vision: "For a work of art, the minimum complexity and richness should be indispensable." "If the work of art overemphasizes order and lacks enough energetic substances to arrange it, it will inevitably lead to rigid results."
General Li Qike strives for momentum and change in the creation of running script, and wins with change and richness, thus getting rid of the disadvantages of ordinary calligraphers who are confined to one school, stiff and rigid. On the basis of learning from many sources, he boldly integrated Huang Daozhou's rugged, Yu Youren's frank and sincere, Zhao Zhiqian's handsome and handsome, and Liang Qichao's clean and gentle into the creation of running script. Through "making a fortune", he realized the creative pursuit of "being poor and abnormal on paper", which made his works show a fresh vitality.
General Li Qike's calligraphy lines are vigorous and straight, with great strength, and his pen is subtle and bold, not formal and not soft. Between stippling and painting, "it's either quiet and graceful, with bones and muscles, or folded or crossed, and it's sharp outside." The coolness of the pen and the strange rise of the word are integrated, and the straightness of the lines and the turmoil of the body are against each other. From the overall style, General Li Qike's running script pursues the overall weather, but this does not mean that his works do not emphasize charm and elegance. It can be said that his works show more beauty of character and masculinity. Sun Guoting pointed out in "Book Score": "Let's make all the wonderful things return, don't keep the backbone, and the backbone will be added with rhyme." General Li Qike's emphasis on bone strength has another deep meaning. In his works, he well shows the simple, truthful, broad-minded and heroic spirit of a soldier and conveys his aesthetic feelings. It is in this sense that I think his calligraphy works better reflect the artistic pursuit of "the unity of man and book" and establish an artistic language with style as the body and change as the purpose.
