During the leisure time, I went to the city to buy some calligraphy works of famous artists in the past dynasties to study and study. At the same time, I also exhibited the good calligraphy works of various current schools. I took the essence and added my own calligraphy style to create calligraphy works of my own style. There are various activities in my hometown, and during festivals, I am invited by people to come and write various couplets and congratulatory messages. Usually, people also find ways to write inscriptions, hang plaques, advertise with artistic characters, slogans, and carve and edit seals. Due to learning, hard work, research, innovation, and development in calligraphy. Since 2012, national and global calligraphy and painting competitions have won first prize and gold medal each time.

奋楫扬帆启新程 笃行致远续华章
Struggling with boats, setting sail, embarking on a new journey, steadfastly carrying on the journey to the future, continuing the chapter of glory
鲍进老师的每一幅作品都能令人驻足围观。无论在书法本体上，还是在书法形式感上，都能够给我们提供很多思索和想象的空间，他的作品很大气，同时变化丰富，可以说写的灵魂应该是变化中的统一。
Every work by Teacher Bao Jin can make people stop and watch. Both in terms of the essence and form of calligraphy, it can provide us with a lot of space for reflection and imagination. His works are grand and diverse, and it can be said that the soul of writing should be the unity in change.
纵观鲍老师的书法作品使人感到新而不薄，华而不媚，成篇作品不失法度，柔刚相济，雄秀并举，结构天成。师古而不泥古，求新而不取宠。此乃“众多古人铸于心，予以笔，集百家之长融于他自己。”细品鲍老师的书法，肥而有骨，骨肉相济，洒脱而生动。那用笔的多变，章法的熟练，上下的映衬，左右的顾盼，错落起伏，跃然纸上。在那流动的线条中，方圆、疏密、大小、长短、粗细、浓、淡、枯、湿多变灵活。大气磅礴如行云流水，真可谓标新立异、匠心独具，形成了自己独特的笔法和别具一格的艺术表现形式。
Throughout Mr. Bao's calligraphy works, one can feel that they are new but not thin, magnificent but not beautiful, and the entire piece does not lose its charm. The combination of softness and hardness, the combination of majesty and beauty, and the structure are naturally formed. Learn from the past without sticking to it, seek novelty without seeking favor. This is the calligraphy of Mr. Bao, which was forged in the heart by many ancient people, with a brush that integrates the strengths of a hundred schools of thought into himself. It is delicate and has a combination of fat and bone, flesh and bone, free and vivid. The versatility of the pen, the proficiency of the composition, the contrast between the top and bottom, the gaze on the left and right, the ups and downs, and the jumping onto the paper. In the flowing lines, they are flexible and varied in terms of radius, density, size, length, thickness, concentration, lightness, dryness, and wetness. The grandeur is like flowing clouds and flowing water, truly unique and ingenious, forming its own unique brushwork and artistic expression form.
鲍老师的书法创作，给我们带来的不是简单的视觉上的一件作品，而是引起反复思考，思考我们人文精神的缺失。让我们以后的创作，不论是传统的，还是现代的，东方传统艺术也好，西方现代艺术也罢，都离不开人文精神、人文关怀。鲍老师是一个思考型的书法家。在虚和实里面，他取了虚；在侧和正里面，他取了侧；在线和面里面，他取了面。他创作的每一幅原创作品，都有独特的个性。他的艺术魅力不仅仅给人以艺术欣赏，而且给人以精神享受。他的作品，柔而有刚，秀中见奇，犹如神助。
Teacher Bao's calligraphy creation does not bring us a simple visual work, but rather triggers repeated thinking and reflection on our lack of humanistic spirit. Our future creations, whether traditional or modern, Eastern traditional art or Western modern art, cannot do without humanistic spirit and care. Teacher Bao is a thoughtful calligrapher. In the void and reality, he took the void; On the side and inside, he took the side; He took the noodles online and in the noodles. Every original work he creates has a unique personality. His artistic charm not only gives people artistic appreciation, but also spiritual enjoyment. His works are gentle yet strong, showing off their uniqueness, like divine assistance.
对于鲍进老师来说，书法是他一生的热爱和追求。也是因为这份执着，他的人生虽比平常人多了几道坎坷，但也赢得了几份精彩。
For Teacher Bao Jin, calligraphy is his lifelong passion and pursuit. It is also because of this persistence that although his life has had a few more ups and downs than ordinary people, he has also won a few wonderful moments.
