Huang Junshi (1934-), formerly known as Junshi, also known as Shantao. A native of Taishan, Guangdong. He is a famous contemporary calligrapher, painter, scholar, and connoisseur of calligraphy and painting, and is widely influential at home and abroad. He holds a bachelor's degree in Chinese Literature from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, a master's degree in Chinese Literature from Kyoto University, Japan, and a master's degree in Oriental Art History from Kansas State University in the United States. He has successively held important positions at the Nelson Museum, Christie's Auction House, and Sotheby's Auction House in the United States. While working in an overseas auction house, he devoted all his efforts to promoting Chinese calligraphy and painting. In 1982, after repeated lobbying, Christie's finally agreed to separate Chinese calligraphy and painting from the original "Oriental Objects Department" and establish a separate "Chinese Calligraphy and Painting Department". This move once caused surprise in the international auction community. After taking over the position of the first director of the "Chinese Painting and Calligraphy Department", Huang vigorously promoted Chinese calligraphy and painting auctions around the world and recommended famous Chinese calligraphy and painting artists. During the 15 years he presided over the work, the international market price of Chinese calligraphy and painting increased several times, and its international status was gradually recognized by outsiders. He is proficient in calligraphy and painting appraisal, profound in academic research, and good at calligraphy and painting creation. The three are organically unified. At the age of 8, he was able to write Yingchi characters. Proficient in running script and regular script, he has a free and easy personality and does not follow the vulgar trend. Compiled "Han Mo of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties", and his works include "Authenticity of Wang Xizhi's Orchid Pavilion Preface", "Famous Traces of Song and Yuan Dharma Calligraphy Collection in Gu Luofu", "Wen Zhengming and His Friendships", "Xiang Yuanbian and Suzhou Painting Circle" and "Huang Junshi Calligraphy Collection" and so on.
