Tan Jiancheng (1898-1995), formerly known as Jun and alias Chengyuan, is a name that reflects the gentleness and fortitude of a water town. His life is an epic about art and life, and a commitment to and inheritance of traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy.
Tan Jiancheng, who loved painting and reading since childhood, developed a strong interest in art in Huzhou, a poetic water town. In 1911, he entered Zhejiang Provincial No. 3 Middle School. In addition to his busy studies, he still learned calligraphy and painting from famous local artists. This persistence and love for art laid a solid foundation for his outstanding achievements in calligraphy and painting in the future.
In 1916, Tan Jiancheng was admitted to Southeast University in Nanjing and began a more systematic art study. After graduation, he obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree, which was not only a recognition of his academic ability, but also an encouragement for his artistic pursuit. However, Tan Jiancheng did not stop there. In order to further improve his artistic accomplishment, he resolutely embarked on the road to study in Japan.

In June 1924, Tan Jiancheng went to Japan to study at the Tokyo Fine Arts College. In a foreign country, he studied hard and tried to absorb the essence of Japanese and Western art, while not forgetting to be rooted in traditional Chinese culture. He knew that as a Chinese, if he wanted to achieve success in calligraphy and painting, he had to be deeply rooted in his own cultural soil.
After returning to China, Tan Jiancheng founded the "Jingyi Girls' School" in his hometown, and served as a teacher and principal. He not only imparted knowledge to students, but also shared his knowledge of art with them. He hoped that through his efforts, he could cultivate batches of outstanding calligraphy and painting talents for his hometown, so that traditional Chinese calligraphy and painting art could be inherited and carried forward.

Tan Jiancheng's works are as profound and majestic as his life experiences. The landscapes, flowers, birds and figures in his paintings are full of vitality and vigor. His brushstrokes are free and full of vitality, and every stroke seems to contain endless power and emotion. His paintings have the charm and artistic conception of traditional Chinese calligraphy and painting, and incorporate the elements and techniques of modern art, forming his own unique artistic style.
The famous calligraphy and painting master Li Kuchan once praised Tan Jiancheng as "the first master of calligraphy and painting in Jiangnan", which is a high recognition of his artistic achievements. However, for Tan Jiancheng, this is not only an honor, but also a responsibility. He knows that he shoulders the responsibility of inheriting and promoting traditional Chinese calligraphy and painting, so he always maintains awe and love for art.
