Dong Qichang's calligraphy attainments are the highest in cursive script, taking "Two Kings" as the Sect, and worshiping Yan Zhenqing, Mi Fei and Yang Ningshi as his teachers. Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy style also influenced his creation to some extent. The cursive script is rooted in Yan Zhenqing's "Contention for Seats" and "Sacrifice for Nephew", with Huai Su's roundness and Mi Fei's ups and downs. Use a pen accurately and always keep a positive face. There are few stagnant and sluggish pens in the works; Ink is also very particular, dry and wet, wonderful; Simple and natural style, simple and peaceful, or related to his temperament, easy to understand Zen. There is grass between the lines in many works. The picture on the left shows Yan Zhenqing's frankness, Mifei's posture and Yang Ningshi's carefree Shu Lang, which looks like Zhao Mengfu's charm, agility and self-sufficiency. Dong Qichang is also quite conceited about his regular script, especially in lower case.
Generally speaking, it is more elegant than the two kings, but not as beautiful and rigorous as the two kings. More wild than the two kings, but many words are too soft.
