Zhong Wenlong – Chinese Calligrapher

About the Artist

Zhong Wenlong is a calligrapher dedicated to the classical regular-script tradition, trained under the renowned master Lu Zhongnan. His bold large-character writing (bangshu) combines disciplined Tang-dynasty structure with fluent, confident brushwork — and his works have been commissioned by UNESCO, Harvard University and major cultural institutions.

Artist Introduction

Zhong Wenlong (钟文龙) was born in January 1968 and holds a bachelor’s degree in art education. He currently serves as Secretary-General of the Meiyu China Culture and Sports Carnival organising committee of the China Care for the Next Generation Working Committee, a guest professor at Jinan University, a council member of the China (Laoshan) Taoist Painting and Calligraphy Academy, and a contract artist of several galleries and art organisations in Qingdao. He showed a talent for calligraphy in childhood, and became a student of the celebrated regular-script master Lu Zhongnan, inheriting his teacher’s dedication to Tang-dynasty regular script — with particular excellence in large-character writing. His calligraphy carries forward the essence of Lu’s style: attention to rhythmic flow, fluent brushwork and rigorous composition. His major works include “On Aspiration” and “On Self-Cultivation”; his small regular-script “Tao Te Ching” won an excellence award in the Ministry of Culture’s international Chinese poetry, painting, calligraphy and seal exhibition. He was commissioned to create “Record of Yueyang Tower” for the Beijing Hotel, the “Heart Sutra”, “Analects” and “Tao Te Ching” for the Beijing Shichahai Academy, “The Highest Good Is Like Water” for UNESCO and Harvard University, and plaques and couplets for the Beijing Jingxingtang. His works have been published in “Calligraphy News” and “China Calligraphy and Painting News”, and are collected by institutions and individuals in the United States, France, Japan, Korea, Singapore and Greater China.
