They were all good at learning from the ancients, full of innovative spirit and unique book style, and were highly respected by people at that time. They are listed in four schools, and there is no objection to this. Who "Cai" refers to has always been controversial, but it ranks at the bottom of the four schools.
It is generally believed that Cai refers to Cai Xiang (). His calligraphy adopts the method of Jin and Tang dynasties and pays attention to the ancient meaning and statutes. Its block letters are dignified and steady, its running script is pure and beautiful, and its cursive script adopts the method of flying white, which is called "scattered grass", which is self-contained and very beautiful.
