Shen used to be an official, a prime minister's yamen, a foreign minister, a foreign affairs department, a magistrate in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, and an interior minister in Anhui Province in Beijing. His calligraphy was a collection of Beibei and achieved outstanding results. As a well-known cultural leader in Jiangnan, he has made outstanding artistic achievements and numerous students. At the end of his life, he had an epiphany and devoted his life to this five-foot rice paper. "Cen Ming was selected, and Jinsha Embroidery Festival helped to cut" is a summary of his love for the past and art all his life. Reading couplets is as calm as usual, learning art, using allusions, using words to ease and be meaningful, and being self-centered. Looking at his calligraphy is the highest realm of elegant calligraphy. It is rare to say, "The beauty of clumsy work lies in life, and it is better than instability."
Ma Yifu wrote an inscription in the margin: "This book was written by Mei Zuo when he went to Japan, which is beyond the reach of wisdom." When sorting out his father's works, Shen Cihu, Shen's son, left this couplet in Lou (Shenzhai) as a permanent memorial to his father. Later, he invited his father's friends and student disciples to write inscriptions for him: Shen Jinjian (then governor of Zhejiang), Zhou Shanpei, (father of),, Sheng Yuan, Mo Yongzhen, Lu, Qian Xiongxiang, Hu Puan, Bao Xuan, Zhu Zongyuan, Gao Zhenxiao, Ye Gongchuo, Jin Zhaofan and so on.
