At 12, he became a disciple of the contemporary “Sage of Cursive Script,” Lin Sanzhi, and at 19, he studied under the master of Chinese painting, Ya Ming. Mao Jian is proficient in all styles of calligraphy, with a particular strength in clerical script (li shu). Under Lin Sanzhi’s guidance, who remarked, “Junior Mao Jian, the Han clerical script is square, elegant, and not difficult to master,” he focused on classics such as the Zhang Qian Stele, Shimen Song, and Zheng Wengong Stele.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eLater, his running and cursive scripts (xingcao) were rooted in the traditions of Wang Xizhi and Huai Su, drawing inspiration from the structural elegance of the Jin and Tang dynasties while incorporating techniques from Mi Fu, Xu Wei, Wang Duo, and other masters. He blends classical and contemporary approaches, transforming them into a personal style. His calligraphy emphasizes the flow of qi through the brush, combining the \u003ci\u003eprecision\u003c\/i\u003e of clerical script, the fluidity of cursive, and the simplicity of regular script, uniting these strengths to create a distinctive and innovative aesthetic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"yellow-crane-pavilion","title":"Yellow Crane Pavilion","description":"\u003cp\u003eInk on Paper\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e137*66cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mao Jian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42970703659071,"sku":null,"price":2900.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/3673\/0943\/files\/1_5884a0f3-6a80-4396-b5ff-d5ccf093270c.png?v=1772434813"},{"product_id":"night-mooring-at-maple-bridge","title":"Night Mooring at Maple Bridge","description":"\u003cp\u003eInk on Paper\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e137*66cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mao Jian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42970710704191,"sku":null,"price":2900.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/3673\/0943\/files\/2_bd10bdfd-ffa5-4036-b942-54737d5300d7.png?v=1772435174"},{"product_id":"heavenly-yellow-river-forever-to-the-sea","title":"Heavenly Yellow River,Forever to the Sea","description":"\u003cp\u003eInk on Paper\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e137*66cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mao Jian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42970760708159,"sku":null,"price":2900.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/3673\/0943\/files\/3-1.png?v=1772435958"},{"product_id":"farewell-to-xin-jian-at-hibiscus-tower","title":"Farewell to Xin Jian at Hibiscus Tower","description":"\u003cp\u003eInk on Paper\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e137*66cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mao Jian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42970775486527,"sku":null,"price":2900.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/3673\/0943\/files\/4-1.png?v=1772436976"},{"product_id":"cursive-calligraphy-prize-winning-piece","title":"Cursive Calligraphy (Prize-Winning Piece)","description":"\u003cp\u003eInk on Paper\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e137*66cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mao Jian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42970789904447,"sku":null,"price":7400.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/3673\/0943\/files\/5_9cf5107c-b447-4692-93f1-00b3c3bf370d.png?v=1772437144"},{"product_id":"gentle-breeze-and-calm-harmony","title":"Gentle Breeze and Calm Harmony","description":"\u003cp\u003eInk on Paper\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e33*173cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mao Jian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42970865270847,"sku":null,"price":2200.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/3673\/0943\/files\/6_09f2eef1-1557-423c-9df0-f0d0a7e44991.png?v=1772438627"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/3673\/0943\/collections\/c632b97f288b7561de98ba2427b96b46.jpg?v=1777818020","url":"https:\/\/www.zhicollections.com\/collections\/mao-jian.oembed","provider":"Zhi Collections","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
