Shu Pu collected 39 kinds of calligraphy theory's works from the Eastern Han Dynasty to Tang Yuanhe (806-820), some of which only kept the title, but only 34 were actually published. Among them, Zhao Yi's Non-cursive script, Yang Xin's Selected Stories, Wang Sengqian's Lun Shu and Zhang Huaiguan's Shu Duan are all masterpieces of ancient book theory, which are widely circulated as Wei Shuo's Bi Tu and Wang Xizhi's After Bi Tu. The concise catalogue of siku complete books is called "complicated and complicated, which is generally used as the basis for book review in later generations"
Shupu is the earliest collection of calligraphy theory handed down from generation to generation. There are 34 kinds of famous calligraphy theory articles and famous books from the Eastern Han Dynasty to Yuanhe period in Tang Xianzong, all of which are recorded in the original works. If you don't read the original, you will keep its purpose. Those who regard themselves as pretenders, such as Wang Xizhi's Theory of Respecting Teachers and Attaching Importance to Taoism and Zhang Huaiguan's Theory of Six-body Calligraphy, all marked "No Record" in the catalogue.
Zhao Yi's non-cursive script in the later Han Dynasty, Wang Xizhi's On Books, the theory of respecting books by his godson (unrecorded), and Mrs. Jin Wei's pen drawings.

This book is rich in information and accurate in material selection. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, many books about calligraphy have been preserved, and many of them have been lost, such as Selected Stories by Yang Xin, Hou Shupin by Li Sizhen, Shupin by Yu Jianwu and Shuduan by Zhang Huaiguan. Another example is Wang Bei's "Chronicle of People", which has long been lost, and is also recorded in the Book of Laws. The last volume of this book is Secretary of the Right Army, with 482 notes on the two kings' legal posts, of which 460 are Wang posts, including 17 in Preface to Lanting Collection, and 17 is Xiao Wang posts, all of which have detailed explanations. Those deleted by Yan Yuan or marked as "unrecorded" are not missing; Looking closely at the Beggars' Sect, when observed as a popular custom, he is called a hypocrite. It can be seen that the Record of Fa Shu Yao has a very important position in the history of China calligraphy, both in style and content, especially its outstanding contribution to the collection, identification and preservation of places of interest, which makes it an indispensable reference for future calligraphy researchers.
