Tan's ci is like his people, he has a strong atmosphere, he is broad-minded and complacent. After Qian Feng in Qing Dynasty, another person wrote Yan Ti.
From the Republic of China to the present, no one is better than Tan. He is especially famous for regular script. Tan spent his whole life basically attacking Yan Shu.
Tan's good poetry couplets, broken books and short letters are all extremely exquisite. Calligraphy works have both artistic and cultural values, and most of the domestic folk collections are concentrated in Hunan.
The world has different views on him. Some people call him a "perfect man of the Republic of China", a "tolerant and mediocre" great politician, and others call him a "pillar of the party and the country".
Some people say that "licorice in medicine" is an exquisite "crystal ball" and a "living guide with food and flowers".
