Art Review: Liu Xizai's "Book Overview" said: "With the sky as a disciple, with the ancient as a disciple, all things are books." "Li Jiayao's calligraphy and painting are taken from the ancients, fresh, elegant, and plain. The breath of nature and the breath of the book are pleasing to the eye, like a spring breeze. Since the two kings, calligraphy has taken plain nature as the highest level, and the evaluation of "drum and nu force" (Sun Guoting's language) is not high. Li Jiayao's calligraphy came out from the Jin and Tang dynasties, and the Song and Yuan dynasties were involved, and the breath was peaceful and upright, like a water lily in the pond, with a quiet and beautiful state. The landscape painting has a sense of Zen, between the sizes, it has seen its mind, there is a transcendent joy outside the object, and there is no worry about the dust net. The same sect of calligraphy and painting seems to be reflected in him, and his style of calligraphy and painting is close to Dong Qichang's "Southern Sect". Li Jiayao uses pen and ink to do Buddha, make good connections, and strive to do a good job in his own career for the sake of our physical and mental cultivation, benefiting the country, the people, and the family. that we may be relieved of our hardships as soon as possible and have joy forever.
