Yan Shiju never calls himself everyone. He likes kindness, worships honesty, keeps his promise, is generous without losing his wit, is confident without arrogance, and is modest without cowardice. This is the character and demeanor that an artist should have.

Yan Shiju's calligraphy attainments are profound. True, grass, official script and seal script can be used. Li Cun is concise and clear, and there is wind in the line. Everyone's style.
