Love calligraphy, root art, bonsai, strange stones and other arts. After retiring in March 2002, in order to enrich the spiritual and cultural life in his later years and cultivate his sentiment, he devoted himself to developing root art works as one of the cultural traditions of the Chinese nation. Using dead wood and decaying roots as materials, after careful observation, conception, screening, modeling and processing, we can turn waste into treasure and turn lifeless roots into vivid and realistic root art works.
Root art is an ancient art, which has gone through more than 2300 spring and autumn periods with human civilization. Rooting art is a new art based on tree roots, which has a certain image and realm after careful selection, observation, screening, conception and meticulous carving by artists. It is natural and simple, and it is a wonderful work of art that turns decay into magic. In the process of artistic creation for many years, we take its natural generation as the main body, let nature take its course, show the natural charm of the root art according to its natural texture, open up more artistic language contained in the works, show the rich flavor of China and the charm of China, and make use of the natural interest, that is, keep the color of the root wood, vivid textures, scars, holes and wooden textures in various ways, and add our own thoughts and feelings.
