Influenced by Qilu culture, he began practicing calligraphy in his childhood. Diligent and hard?working, he kept practicing for decades without interruption. He copied ancient stone steles and calligraphy models, drawing inspiration from the Tang and Han dynasties, absorbing the strengths of diverse schools. As the saying goes: Devoting one’s old age to calligraphy for the nation, sweat and blood nurture the fragrance of ink. He has long devoted himself to the in?depth study of Stele of Zhang Qian, Xixia Ode, Shimen Ode, and Diamond Sutra on the Stone Slopes of Mount Tai.

Yue Qiren excels in multiple calligraphic styles, with outstanding accomplishments, particularly in clerical script and chapter cursive. Shen Peng, former Chairman of Chinese Calligraphers Association, commented:

“Yue Qiren’s clerical script … resounds like a clear bugle at dawn, with war drums rolling and warriors in armour marching forward, full of masculine spirit that stirs people’s hearts. It is also like a mountain brook winding down, its tinkling spring water bringing reverie; and like faint songs drifting across a lotus pond under the moon, casting people into rapture.”

Ouyang Zhongshi, a towering master of calligraphy, commented on Yue Qiren’s works:

“Yue Qiren’s calligraphy features rich ink and brushwork, dignified and rigorous composition, simplicity and subtlety. He innovates on the basis of traditional heritage, making him a rare outstanding master of contemporary art.”
