He has painstakingly worked on calligraphy creation, endowing this art with new language and vitality, and gradually forming his own unique aesthetic context. Mr. Yan Xi, a renowned critic, commented that the characteristics of his calligraphy works are as follows: the brushstrokes are free and easy, the force of the pen is vigorous, the characters are rich and magnanimous, the layout is well-arranged, the overall aura is connected, the whole piece is rich yet elegant, with a proper balance between thick and thin strokes, maintaining the roundness and squareness. The rhythm of the brushwork is full of texture. In terms of composition, the sizes, simplicity or complexity, lengths, and curvatures vary, extremely lively and full of vitality. We can see the luster that emerges when the calligrapher's cultivation, character, and art are integrated, shining with his inner purity and kindness.Mr. Yan Xi said that Jiang Feng is a calligrapher who grew up in an era of "opening up" and "transformation". He adheres to the ancient style of traditional calligraphy art and absorbs the avant-garde trends of contemporary art. His growth experience and calligraphy journey radiate the persistent and positive demeanor of an artist.

   His calligraphy art uses works to seek the spiritual direction and uses spirit to seek the brilliance of the works. In every dot and stroke, he pours out his joys, sorrows, anger, and pleasures, as well as his understanding, feelings, and memories of the world. Therefore, in his calligraphy works, there are classical poems, words of wisdom, as well as expressions of understanding and blessings of modern life. The characters he often writes, such as "Shou" (longevity), "Guan Hai Ting Tao" (watching the sea and listening to the waves), and "Jian Dan Qin Xin" (a brave heart with a refined taste), are very close to his inner self both in meaning and form. When writing, it comes naturally, just like writing poems, painting, or playing the piano. The rhythm of calligraphy can also be a beautiful song. Especially when Jiang Feng is slightly drunk, during the creative process, he becomes even more passionate, heroic, and unrestrained, freely expressing the long-accumulated energy and emotions through the brushwork. This is another Jiang Feng, the Jiang Feng in the world of art. Jiang Feng has realized himself through calligraphy and found art within himself. With the power of calligraphy, he has completed many spiritual journeys of life.

   As a result, Jiang Feng's calligraphy works have frequently won major awards in national competitions. He has won the gold medal in the national calligraphy and painting competitions organized by the Ministry of Culture twice. His works have been collected by relevant institutions such as the National Museum of China, the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, the China Poverty Alleviation and Development Association, the China Charity Federation, and the China International Calligraphy and Painting Research Association.

   At the same time, Jiang Feng is also a public welfare philanthropist. He once donated 45 calligraphy works to the Henan Charity Federation, with a value of over 900,000 yuan. In 2008, he successively donated calligraphy works worth over 600,000 yuan for earthquake relief. In December 2008, he donated 100 calligraphy works to Wudi County, Shandong Province, with a value of over 2 million yuan, which were used for the construction of the teaching buildings, office buildings, and supporting facilities of the "Jiang Feng Primary School". The journey of art is arduous, but Jiang Feng makes his life happily journey through the arduous journey of art.
