Chen Xiaoming, also known as Lili, was born in 1959 in Xinshao County, Hunan Province. He is a retired soldier and participated in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam in February 1979. After going through trials and tribulations, one's resilient character becomes even more evident. I have been deeply cultivating calligraphy art for more than 40 years, and my original intention remains unchanged. I started learning Huang Ziyuan's "Jiucheng Palace" calligraphy and laid a solid foundation in Tang Kai script. After the advent of the Internet era, we took advantage of the Internet to broaden our artistic vision, and modestly asked the industry's seniors and book friends to learn. We never stopped in front of the pool all the year round, and devoted ourselves to studying the calligraphy of Erwang, Ou, Yan, Liu, Zhao and other famous artists of all ages. After learning from others' strengths, we gradually formed a unique artistic style, and our works were widely recognized and praised by calligraphy and painting lovers and industry insiders everywhere.

真书大法可立鼎 文化传承誉四海——记著名书法家陈小明
仔细琢磨一下当代书坛的风气，是有一些浮，也是有一些躁的。为什么这样说，因为无论是专业书法修炼队伍，还是书法爱好者队伍中，能像著名书法家陈小明先生这样琢修正楷的大手笔非常少见。陈小明先生依超凡脱俗的真书功力，成为当代书法可以去浮，也可以去躁的雄才大鼎。要论什么样的人才是真正的书法家，看看陈小明先生的楷书造诣，便可以了然而知！
The Great Method of Authentic Calligraphy Can Establish the Tripod Culture, Inheriting and Honoring the Four Seas - A Record of Famous Calligrapher Chen Xiaoming
Upon careful consideration of the contemporary literary atmosphere, there are some fluctuations and some restlessness. Why do you say this? Because it is very rare for both professional calligraphy practitioners and calligraphy enthusiasts to be able to carve and correct regular script like the famous calligrapher Mr. Chen Xiaoming. Mr. Chen Xiaoming, with his extraordinary and extraordinary calligraphy skills, has become a great talent in contemporary calligraphy, capable of both floating and restlessness. To determine what kind of person is a true calligrapher, just look at Mr. Chen Xiaoming's expertise in regular script!
他的楷书磨砺，最初是从黄自元的楷书帖本练起来。黄自元作为馆阁体的巅峰硕星，成为启功先生眼中的一座书法丰碑。当年一些楷书水准相当一般的人士，经常把黄自元的楷书当成批评的靶子。最终极有涵养的启功先生按耐不住，拍案而起：不要看不起馆阁体，你若对馆阁体言语造次，不妨写来看看！启功先生一言九鼎，不但维护了馆阁体书法正大气象的地位，也为书法修炼者选取法帖指明了路径，以黄自元的法帖修楷书，恰是陈小明先生取法为上的执着。经过春秋不辍的磨砺，修养楷书得真诀的信念从没有更改，所以写得一手结体严谨、笔法多变的楷书上品，成为真正书法家的耀眼标签！
His regular script was initially honed from Huang Ziyuan's regular script copybook. Huang Ziyuan, as the pinnacle of the Guange style, has become a calligraphy monument in the eyes of Mr. Qigong. Some people with average proficiency in regular script at that time often targeted Huang Ziyuan's regular script for criticism. The most ultimate and cultured Mr. Qigong couldn't hold back and stood up: Don't look down on the Guange style. If you have any reservations about the language of the Guange style, why not write it down and take a look! Mr. Qigong's words speak louder than words, not only maintaining the upright status of Guan Ge style calligraphy, but also pointing out the path for calligraphy practitioners to select calligraphy templates. Using Huang Ziyuan's calligraphy templates to revise regular script is precisely Mr. Chen Xiaoming's persistence in taking the method as the top priority. After continuous honing in the Spring and Autumn period, the belief in mastering the true techniques of regular script has never changed. Therefore, the high-quality regular script with rigorous structure and varied strokes has become a shining label for true calligraphers!
当然，他的楷书修炼在深师了黄自元的法帖之后，并没拘于一家的师益求法，而是逆向求索，由黄自元的法帖上溯唐法，对欧楷、颜楷、柳楷进行了一一细琢。他的楷书带有原生欧楷的根本形韵，形得其是，韵修其成，与九成宫帖摆在一起，唯识纸张有不同，不见笔墨有区别。所以他是一位师法先贤，能临得进去的进取者。临帖眼到、手到、心也到，是一位扎实解悟楷书机密的实力派。
Of course, after deeply studying Huang Ziyuan's calligraphy, his cultivation of regular script did not confine himself to seeking methods from the same school. Instead, he searched in reverse and traced back to Tang Dynasty methods from Huang Ziyuan's calligraphy, refining each of Ou Kai, Yan Kai, and Liu Kai. His regular script carries the fundamental form and rhyme of the original European regular script, which is well formed and refined. When placed together with the Nine Cent Palace Script, he only recognizes the differences in paper and does not see any differences in brush and ink. So he is a disciple of the sages and an ambitious person who can enter. He is a skilled practitioner who has a solid understanding of the secrets of regular script, with his eyes, hands, and heart at his fingertips.
能临得进去，也能脱得出来，他的楷书又参意进颜柳两体的筋骨精神，笔墨既可立骨，也可以传神，再揉合进赵体的映带洒脱，稍带行意，结果就把楷书写出了活生生的笔墨质感，节奏鲜明，提摁生动，谁说楷书是“呆书”，看到他的活质楷书之后，皆谓楷书亦活泼，这就是他的书法与古为新，自立面目的卓越魅力！
真书大法可立鼎，文化传承誉四海。楷书修得唐法正宗，行书则追溯晋韵格调，勤师二王，揣摩晋韵法帖的蕴籍雅风，得侧入中行的笔法之妙，使转无碍，捻管自如，把行书写得不激不厉，如风逐闲云，也如香雨润花墙，一派文人气度，源源不绝馨香怡人的书卷气息。这正是书法觉妙趣，可以放手写心的洒脱功！他的上品翰墨，经由书展和网络传播，一出世便是惊天之闻，四海颂誉，大功告成！
著名书画评论家 史峰 2019年12月10日
Being able to enter and exit, his regular script also incorporates the muscular spirit of Yan and Liu's body. The brush and ink can both stand on the bone and convey the spirit, and when combined with the Zhao style, it creates a lively texture of brush and ink, with a distinct rhythm and vivid strokes. Who says regular script is a "dull book"? After seeing his lively regular script, everyone says that it is also lively. This is the outstanding charm of his calligraphy, which is new to the past and independent in appearance!
The great method of authentic books can establish a tripod, and cultural inheritance is renowned throughout the world. Regular script is practiced with the authentic Tang style, while running script traces back to the style of Jin rhyme. I studied diligently under the guidance of the two kings, delving into the elegant and refined style of Jin rhyme and calligraphy, and mastered the exquisite brushwork of the middle line, allowing for smooth and effortless rotation. The running script is written with ease, like the wind chasing idle clouds or fragrant rain moistening flower walls. It exudes a scholarly aura, with an endless stream of fragrant and pleasant scrolls. This is precisely the charm of calligraphy, which allows one to write freely and freely! His top-notch calligraphy, spread through book fairs and the internet, was a shocking news from the moment he was born, praised by all over the world, and achieved great success!
