Zhongbo has been working hard for decades, embracing simplicity to simplicity, not carving, pure nature, and letting go of the ink sea to convey the signs of his heart. He has created several large-scale long scrolls of contemporary ink figure paintings, as well as paintings such as Chinese historical allusions and ancient mythological abstractions, and has demonstrated the distinct oriental style and artistic spiritual connotation with his works. The brushwork of wild cursive writing shows strength and speed, making Chinese painting more full of vitality of the times. Let the viewer also feel that the artistic spirit of the East is no longer weak, and the work is not an appendage of the form, but a manifestation of the gods, like a god writing, and highly summarizes and refines the artistic language.
