“dān qīng huà qì bù huà xíng ，wàn dǐ wú gǔ shū nán chéng ，qiú dào zhōu qín gǔ hòu chǔ ，chāo rán yì xiàng jiē cāng míng.”

• This poem written by Lu Tian-bo is a reflection of his own artistic creation.

Lu Tian-bo studied under Master Bao Liu-ke, with Zhu Sui-liang and Ou Yang-xun as his role models, and diligently trained in the "Two Wangs" running script. Over the past few decades, he has learnt from a wide range of inscriptions, including running script, cursive script, clerical script, seal script, and regular script, and his cursive script, in particular, has a strong, strict, and elegant essence, which was as distinguished as those seen in the Wei and Jin dynasties. Occasionally, he composes landscapes and paints in calligraphy, copying notable relics of the Song and Yuan dynasties, which are famed for their lushness and denseness. Over the years, he has carved no less than a thousand seal scripts in a simple and down-to-earth style, which was selected by the Calligraphy magazine in the 1980s.
