Shi Yanming's master can write good paintings, figure paintings, landscape paintings, flowers, birds, fish and worms are his good works. Under the brush, all creatures become very spiritual, flowers can open, birds can spread their wings, fish swim, insects crawl, and gather the essence of heaven and earth, giving people a feeling of "looking at the color of mountains, and near water." Master Shi Yanming's calligraphy takes regular script as the starting point and creates Zen calligraphy. Zen calligraphy is different from Calligraphers' calligraphy. The purpose of Zen is not to write, but to focus on insight. Master Shi Yanming's calligraphy goes from Zen to calligraphy, from calligraphy to understanding Zen, and finally from gradually to pause, the nature of the mind opens up, and suddenly the mind reaches the Zen state of both heart and hand.
Analyzing master Shi Yanming's calligraphy practice, there are not only the "gradual enlightenment" practice of "accumulating robbery to become a Bodhisattva", but also the "Epiphany" practice of "going straight to the Tathagata once". Only in this way can we not only feel the changes in his calligraphy works, but also sublimate the invisible things into calligraphy works in the rhythm of opening and closing, emptiness and reality, inside and outside, looseness and tightness, gathering and dispersion, anti and positive.
In recent years, with master Shi Yanming's deep understanding and Research on the art of calligraphy and painting, he has extended his thinking tentacles to the national culture and values behind the art form of calligraphy and painting.

" Calligraphy and painting are the carrier of national culture and the embodiment of cultural value. "Based on Contemporary Chinese practice, inherit excellent national culture and learn from the achievements of world civilization", it is this historical appeal and care that makes master Shi Yanming's calligraphy and painting works more valuable.
