Yu Fu said, "Bo Shi, Xin Ben and Deng Shan all have their own peculiarities, but if you look at this book, it will be regarded as the official ear of the north in calligraphy.

The Inscription of Jinci is a masterpiece of Emperor Taizong's study of Wang Shu. It was published in Zhenguan for twenty-one years, with 28 lines and more than 4 words each. Now it is in Jinci, Taiyuan, Shanxi. "Big Dipper Pen" said: "The view of this monument is absolutely based on the brushwork. I don't know what it is for, but it is rich and solid, and there is no loss. I don't mean to change the chisel, but the situation of bone strength is lost. "
Emperor Taizong praised Wang Xizhi, which had a profound influence on the calligraphy style in the Tang Dynasty. Wang Xizhi's Biography in the Book of Jin says that Wang "made a detailed study of ancient and modern times, studied the essence of seal script and made it perfect". That was made by Emperor Taizong himself. His courtiers are good at calligraphy, such as Ouyang Xun, Yu Shinan, Chu Liang, etc. Yu Shinan, a Wang Zi, was the calligraphy teacher of Emperor Taizong. After Yu's death, Wei Zhi recommended Chu Suiliang. After Chu Suiliang, he collected and sorted out the calligraphy of the two kings for Emperor Taizong, and wrote the Bibliography of the Right Army.
