Compared with calligraphers of past dynasties, Wen Zhiming's calligraphy is not vigorous enough, which is determined by his peacetime. Although Wen Zhiming is one of the four gifted scholars, he failed in ten exams. It was not until he was 54 years old that he was recommended to enter the officialdom and become Gong Sheng. Therefore, Wen Zhiming's calligraphy is more mature and steady.
Wen Zhiming is good at small letters and running script. When writing Preface to Wang Tengting, Wen Zhiming adopted the running script. Because the background of "Teng Xu" is young and frivolous, a small amount of cursive script is added, which makes the article more stable and more wild. Wen Zhiming's calligraphy can reflect his spiritual realm. Although he became famous as a teenager, he was a late bloomer. Without his sharpness, he wrote his own unique style on a steady basis. Especially the cursive script, at that time, people commented that he was very graceful in copying Huai Su's cursive script. This is not a simple imitation study, but a direct artistic conception of Huai Su. This is the preface and calligraphy introduction of Wen Zhiming Wang Teng Pavilion.
