Daoxian Zhongxing, stele learning is flourishing, and several are in opposition to the thesis. There are endless masters of epigraphy, Deng Shiru, Zhao Zhiqian, Zhang Yuzhao, Kang Youwei, and Yu Youren all have extremely high achievements in the field of epigraphy. Today, I saw Mr. Li Qiang's calligraphy, the Pure Sect North Stele, which seems to come from zhang ronglong stele and longmen twenty pins. The point strokes are hard and steel, the weather is accessible, the Xian Patriarchal Law vein is sometimes revealed, and it is not easy to occasionally enter the stele with cursive characters in the works and can be harmonious. The inscription is difficult to be compatible, which is also a barrier that many calligraphers in the predecessors have insurmountable, but Li Qiang's calligraphy practice has made great progress in this regard, which shows the depth of his efforts and the earnestness of his heart. I think that in the current book world, there are not a few bookmakers who blindly pursue novelty and abandon tradition, and it is also difficult to be able to innovate like Li Qiang without departing from the fundamentals. The artwork itself is talkable, and it reflects the artist's pursuit, style, learning and perseverance. Therefore, for Li Qiang's calligraphy works, there is no need to have too many verbal evaluations, just quietly read them to have a taste.

Appreciation of works
True power pervades
Wai Wen hugged
It's really like being drunk
Everyone rejoiced
Smoke cloud offerings
Chiseled mountain bones
Safe and healthy
Strengthen its bones
