Social evaluation of Tang Songbao

In the world of calligraphy and painting, Tang Songbao’s personality is well-known. He is a simple man, upright and kind. Regardless of age or position, he treats everyone equally and with sincerity. He has never been arrogant or disrespectful of others, and has always had a sense of piety for tradition and predecessors. Although he has become famous all over the world, he is still like a hard-working calligrapher and painter, working silently in the inkstone field. Although his calligraphy has a huge influence and has many admirers, he often warns people to learn more from tradition and not to directly use him as a model. Instead, they should use their own creativity and initiative according to their personal temperament and hobbies. He never wanted to create any "sensational effect", but just "wanted to understand something in front of the rice paper." His heart is broad. Despite going through so many twists and turns and enduring so much suffering, he remains optimistic and open-minded. He spent most of his energy on the exploration and innovation of the art of calligraphy, rather than on the hope and pursuit of fame, wealth and power.
