At the age of 5, he was taught calligraphy by his father, and at 13, he joined the "Eighty-Six Painting and Calligraphy Association" in Toucheng, where he studied poetry and painting under Kang Zai-Shan. During his time at Toucheng High School, he was mentored by Jiang Zhao-Shen, from whom he learned calligraphy, painting, seal carving, and classical Chinese literature and essays. In 1961, he was admitted to the Fine Arts Department of National Taiwan Normal University. He has taught at Shih Chien University, National Taiwan Normal University, Taipei National University of Arts, National Taiwan University of Arts, Chinese Culture University, Hualien Teachers College (now National Hualien University of Education), and is a visiting professor at Shanghai University. He has served as an appraiser for the Japan Calligraphy Academy, a reviewer for the Provincial Art Exhibition, a member of the Xiling Seal Art Society, an advisor to the Cross-Strait Cultural Asset Exchange Promotion Association, an advisor to the Yilan Art Association, and a chairman of the Yuanmo Painting Society, the Changhe Poetry Society, the Xiqing Inkstone Friends Association, the Huane Painting and Calligraphy Society, the Republic of China Seal Carving Society, the Taiwan Seal Society, and a member of the National History Museum Cultural Relics Evaluation Committee, the National Palace Museum Committee, and so on.

Chou Cheng is proficient in the "Four Arts" of poetry, calligraphy, painting and seal carving, with a deep understanding of classical Chinese studies. His landscape paintings, influenced by Lin Yu-Shan, integrate the styles of the northern and southern schools as taught by Jiang Zhao-Shen, valuing both literati brush and ink and academic structure. He once said, "Landscape is my favorite...from which I have realized many truths," using his elegant brush and ink to convey the philosophy of life and express emotions.
