Dialogue with Huai'an Social Sciences 丨 Visit Huai'an Social Sciences and Associate Professor Cheng Bo, Associate Professor of the School of Design Arts of Huaiyin Institute of Technology

"If you want to build something, you have to be fierce to yourself!" Cheng Bo, an associate professor of Huai'an Social Sciences and associate professor of the School of Design Art of Huaiyin Institute of Technology, said so.

As the winner of the seventh China Calligraphy Calligraphy Pavilion Award theoretical direction, even if the top award of this art category has been won, Cheng Bo is still immersed in the calligraphy world -the "knife" is used as a metering unit, with 100 pieces of 100 sheets. In less than half a month, there is almost a few left. Sometimes the paper is used to practice with old newspapers; the brushes are countless, and the "pen mound" is formed in horizontal and erect, piled up in the corner of the house, and silently shows the master's diligence and persistence. Essence For Cheng Bo, it is a habit and a kind of enjoyment for two hours of practice every day.

On the road of art, Cheng Bo was actually a monk halfway. After graduating from the Department of Economic Management, he has never forgotten his pursuit of calligraphy art. Since the age of eighteen, Cheng Bo has published comics in newspapers such as "Yangcheng Evening News" and "Football News", and all the money we earn is used to buy painting materials and posts. After work, he is more interested in calligraphy and painting, and he feels more and more regrettable without regular training. After many thoughts, Cheng Bo decided to follow his heart and change the string, and re -plan his life through the postgraduate entrance examination. In 2001, he was admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts of Nanjing Normal University and embarked on the road of calligraphy art.

From economics to art, it is not enough to rely on the word "hobby". Research on the study made Cheng Bo discover that the theoretical foundation of his calligraphy was not solid enough. In order to make up for the shortcomings, he spent a lot of time studying related works, and used a papers for more than 10,000 words in two years. On the occasion of graduation in 2004, the sixth national calligraphy seminar was held. Cheng Bo was unexpectedly selected after submitting, which means that he can directly join the Chinese Calligraphers Association.

"To create, we must create. Continuous improvement can there be continuous gains." Cheng Bo said. After graduating from a master's degree, he has worked at the Huaiyin Institute of Technology. He still feels that he is "superficial and weak" in art. After that, he has been running around Huai'an and Nanjing.

Just ask the cultivation, and do not ask the gain, it will bring a generous return. Cheng Bo, who firmly believes that "diligence can make up for late", won the prize again at the tenth book science seminar nationwide. In 2020, he was awarded the second prize of the 16th Outstanding Achievement of Philosophy and Social Sciences in Jiangsu Province; in October 2021, the manuscript "The History of the History of the Three Generations of the Yuan and Qing Dynasties" was approved by the National Social Science Fund's later funding project. Within five years, the two national claims were obtained, and Cheng Bo's scientific research strength was evident.

For a few years, some people have gone to mechanical and boring repeated and even painful suffering, but Cheng Bo chose to release unlimited possibilities on the limited stage of life and maximize the wisdom of art.
