Luo Yongjiu is an artist with both calligraphy and painting. People often say that calligraphy and painting are of the same origin. However, as art categories tend to be subdivided, although they know that calligraphy and painting are of the same origin, fewer and fewer artists have the ability to get the same work. Luo's persistent artistic practice, following the tradition, insisting on paying equal attention to painting and calligraphy, supplementing the cultural atmosphere with books and enhancing the pleasing aesthetic feeling of calligraphy with painting meaning, is an artist who is truly nourished by the same origin of painting and calligraphy.

Luo cultivated calligraphy permanently, and his idea was to learn from the past. He greatly admired ancient calligraphy theory and sages. Studying the essence and secret of traditional calligraphy has become his efforts in artistic practice. The ancient rhyme of Lishu was carefully absorbed by Luo Yong, and the source of the eight books was reliable. The form of his official script touches the essence of inscription and seal cutting, and the core texture is Han Li's inscription. Wei Bei's method is backward, which almost integrates all the essence of ancient inscriptions and becomes the tough background and foundation of his calligraphy. Just as Kang Youwei said: People can't finish calligraphy without learning rubbings, and everyone can succeed.

With a profound knowledge of epigraphy, Luo Yong is also proficient in the calligraphy of the two kings. Lanting Preface, Sage Preface and Postscript of Mid-Autumn Festival are all profound and timeless, which together cultivate the free and elegant calligraphy of the two kings.
At the same time, he was fascinated by the nature of Huai Su's intoxicating handwriting. Through his profound understanding of Huai Su's cursive script, he felt the natural power of calligraphy, and combined this artistic power with his own calligraphy epiphany ability, resulting in a new calligraphy spark. Calligraphy pens are often like riding a good horse, bold and unrestrained, simple and beautiful, vivid as dragons and phoenixes. Strong artistic appeal, under the influence of its artistic thinking, has been brewed into a fragrant Mo Yun, pleasing to the eye and attractive product.
It is a rare achievement to be able to write such tasteful calligraphy. This is the so-called specialization of learning from the past and being able to turn it into the past, supplemented by the artistic achievements of genius. Like Luo Yongjiu, it is impossible to write a long and vast cursive script only by practice. It also requires a natural artistic talent, which is exactly what people say: writing cursive scripts requires a kind of spirituality and inspiration that reaches the sky and reaches the earth.
Luo's permanent painting first grasped the core of literati and expressed the connotation of literati painting to the fullest extent. The Bamboo Branches Cicada is precisely the exquisite and vivid works of Qi Baishi, and the modeling ability of brushwork and the level of ink rhyme can be said to be closely dependent on the works of the master. He is as freehand as Li Kuchan. It can be seen that he not only has a very strong ability to learn from the ancient road, but also has the professional standards of contemporary masters. He makes the past serve the present, and his achievements are diverse, which is very commendable.
