He is knowledgeable and cultivated, benefiting from the artistic concept of reading, writing, reading and sketching. I study hard, read widely and praise cultural classics, including poetry, songs, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.

Mr. Hu Shi believes that the height of painting is the height of pen and ink; The height of pen and ink is the height of calligraphy. He started from Tang Kai, then took Erwang as the keynote, and merged with other famous inscriptions to form his own unique calligraphy style. Just like its painting, it is romantic and chic, drawing books, not rhymes. In fact, it is not an exaggeration to call him an excellent calligrapher. As for reading paintings, Mr. Hu Shi carefully chose not to read without literature, temperament, inorganic front and blood and tears, and understood the author's intention and made it clear.
Mr Hu Shi also pays attention to sketching. It not only captures the external morphological characteristics of flowers and birds, but also shows the ritual, spirit, qi and rhyme of things. He said that sketching is actually about writing people, writing people's understanding of culture, and then borrowing objective images to reflect people's understanding of culture. This is called sketching.
In his view, only people with noble character can draw Kaku Takashina's paintings. It is because people paint, so what do people paint? Painting is a person's character, not a painting. Painting is character.
Mr. Hu Shi's works, with meticulous pen and ink, show a flower, a bird, a branch and a leaf, which are beautiful and ethereal, reflecting his quiet mind and his cultural yearning from complexity to detachment. In decades of painting practice, his ideas and specific aesthetic forms have concentrated on his in-depth understanding of history and culture and his keen feelings about nature and life. It is this cultural pulse that makes Mr. Hu Shi an important representative painter of flower-and-bird painting under the traditional cultural background of China.
