Personal Profile

Xi Zhongman (formerly known as Xi Zhongman), male, pen name "Rural Grass Man," courtesy name "Caogen." Born in 1955 in Nanning, Guangxi, with a college diploma, a member of the Communist Party of China, and a retired civil servant from a government agency. Currently a member of the China Calligraphy and Painting Masters Association, China Huaxia Wanlixing Calligraphers and Painters Association, China Calligraphy and Painting Exchange Promotion Association, Guangxi Nanning Calligraphers Association, Executive Vice President of the Guangxi Nanning Tongbao Hall Calligraphy and Painting Academy, and Vice Chairman of the Guangxi Mao-style Calligraphers Association. Since childhood, I have been deeply passionate about calligraphy practice and enjoy collecting and imitating masterpieces of ancient and renowned calligraphers, especially favoring the Ou-style regular script. I also have a strong affinity for running and clerical scripts, skillfully integrating the strengths of various schools, with a particular emphasis on the techniques of the Two Wangs. Beginning in the 1970s, I started creating works on rice paper, studying under the renowned Guangxi calligrapher Master Lu Dingshan to develop fundamental calligraphic skills. In recent years, I have actively engaged with fellow calligraphers, absorbing widely from diverse styles and humbly learning from the essence of masters. I have devoted particular effort to the composition and structure of my works, continuously improving my calligraphic techniques and standards. My works have participated in exhibitions and competitions at provincial, regional, and municipal levels, winning multiple awards. For instance, in 2018, my calligraphy piece won the Bronze Medal in the National Second "Chinese Lingzhi Cup" Competition. My personal calligraphy masterpieces have been included in publications such as "The Great Dictionary of New China's Artists," "Chinese Artists," and "Ink and Brush: Chinese Style." My calligraphy works have been frequently published in Guangxi's "Integrity and Party Discipline" magazine and local district newspapers. Several of my works have been collected by cultural and media institutions such as the "World Literature Federation" and the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Library. In the autumn of 2011, I was personally interviewed by the Hong Kong Life Television Channel. In spring 2020, my calligraphy work "A Poem Against the Epidemic" won the Silver Award in the national calligraphy and painting competition "United in Heart, Fighting the Epidemic: Great Chinese Love." Simultaneously, I participated in the online exhibition and competition "Seize the Day, Do Not Waste Youth" organized by the New Artistic Community Committee of the China Calligraphers and Painters Association, and was awarded the honorary title of "Most Creative Calligrapher and Painter."
