He is also an accomplished jurist. Since 1980s, he has often gone abroad to give lectures and visit, sometimes as a jurist and sometimes as a calligrapher. An American doesn't understand how it is possible to combine rigorous legal research with romantic grass creation. In the past ten years, his unique calligraphy works have spread to many places at home and abroad, and some of them have been carved on stones. He is good at running script, especially wild grass.
As a talented and accomplished cursive writer, he is rare in contemporary China, filling the blank in the history of cursive writing in China in the 20th century. He is crazy about grass and full of passion. Before he started writing, he stood and checked the documents on the case and smoked again and again. Once the image is in his mind, he will devote himself to the end, sweep it quickly and do it at one go. With that, he threw the pen away and smiled happily. His "Weeds" is universally acknowledged, and its greatest feature is its magnificence.
Some people criticized his crazy grass for being hard to recognize, but they didn't know that he "emphasized the spiritual connotation of books, so his books only wanted to be arbitrary, not to prepare six styles." Even his signature is different. Sometimes at first sight, I don't know who he is. He prefers cursive script, and most of his handed down works are cursive script. His running script skill is profound, and Shen Feng is special, no less than cursive.
The books I have written are vigorous and stubborn, old and tenacious, ranging from stippling to whole, giving people the impression that if the bow is ready to go, if the iron is bent, if the copper is chiseled. Books vividly show the calligrapher's personality. His running script is not strange at first glance, but it becomes boring after a long time.
The eight characters of "diligence, rigidity, practicality and novelty" on the east wall outside the lecture hall of Peking University are his representative works of running script.
His words are full of vigor and vitality, standing on the wall, big but not dull, motionless, worthy of being called "the second outstanding figure in the history of Peking University calligraphy" with Shen, and "Nanlin Beili" with Shen.
