I am currently teaching Chinese calligraphy online and offer a structured, step-by-step curriculum. You will be guided systematically through Zhuanshu (seal script), Lishu (clerical or official script), Zhenshu (regular script), Xingshu (running or longhand script), and Zhangcao (cursive script). If you are interested in learning Chinese calligraphy, please feel free to contact me for more details.

I began learning calligraphy in the fifth grade of elementary school in Taiwan. At the time, my family also encouraged me to practice regularly. My grandfather was acquainted with the renowned master of painting and calligraphy, Pu Xinyu (Pu Ru, 1896–1963). My aunt, Wang Peifen (born in 1949, lived to the age of 90), studied traditional Chinese painting under Pu Xinyu, and my cousin Professor Wang Chung (style name: Yu’an, 1925–2010) was a distinguished scholar of classical Chinese learning and an accomplished calligrapher. Growing up in such an environment, I was deeply influenced by traditional Chinese calligraphy and painting.
In March 2021, I formally began studying calligraphy under Mr. Yuan Jung-ping (born 1959), following a structured approach rooted in the lineage of Qing Daoist Li Rui-qing (1867–1920), Hu Xiao-shi (Hu Guang-wei, 1888–1962), and Leon Long-yien Chang (style name: Shizhi, 1909–2009). Under Mr. Yuan’s guidance, I now practice daily with dedication.
I have also been offering online calligraphy classes for the past couple of years. My curriculum follows a progressive structure, guiding students through seal script (zhuanshu), clerical script (lishu), standard script (kaishu), running/semi-cursive script (xingshu), and cursive script (zhangcao), with content tailored to each student’s level and interests. I warmly welcome anyone interested in the art of Chinese calligraphy to get in touch.

Calligraphy practice of a quote from Juan Chi’s (阮籍) "Discourse on Music," (樂論) written during the early Six Dynasties:
"The male and female principles of the universe move easily and simply; refined music, too, is uncomplicated. The Way and its Virtue are level and plain: the five notes [= five tones] of music, too, are insipid. Refined music is uncomplicated, and so the yin and yang communicate naturally; it is insipid, and so all beings are naturally joyous..." (Translated in Holzman, Poetry and Politics).
This piece is written in the Kaishu (standard script) style, October 2024.
