Huang Tingjian has a lofty position in the history of calligraphy in China. Although he came from Sushi School, he was also called "Su Huang" with Dongpo, and was promoted as the first calligrapher in Song Dynasty. In modern times, some scholars called Huang Tingjian "the first person in calligraphy for thousands of years", and Huang Tingjian's calligraphy thought is also very unique. He opposed learning from others and emphasized personality creation, which had a far-reaching influence on calligraphy creation and the development of calligraphy theory since the Northern Song Dynasty. Undoubtedly, Huang Tingjian's profound understanding and mastery of cursive brushwork should be regarded as "the ink of Huai Su, a monk, and Gao Xian, and a glimpse of his brushwork". He wrote in "Postscript of Poems in this Temple": "In modern times, scholar-officials rarely got the ancient method, but they circled the pen left and right, hence the name cursive script. I didn't know that tadpoles, seals and officials agreed to the same method. For hundreds of years, only Huai Su and Yu, crazy monks in Yongzhou, knew this method. Su Caiweng was enlightened, but he couldn't give full play to his religious interests, and the rest were useless. Zhushangtie is his cursive masterpiece, which is now in the Palace Museum.
Zhushangtie is a quotation written by Huang Tingjian, a monk of the Five Dynasties, for his good friend Li Zhushangtie (partially) Ren Dao.
