Zheng Banqiao's six-and-a-half book mainly tells the story of Zheng Banqiao practicing calligraphy.
It is said that when Zheng Banqiao was young, he devoted himself to copying the works of famous calligraphers of past dynasties, and his temporary works reached the point of confusing the fake with the real. However, this did not make him famous, and he was still ignored by the world. Once, he woke up from a dream, wrote on his thigh with his finger, wrote and wrote on his wife.
The wife woke up with a start and asked discontentedly, "You have your body (body) and I have mine. Why don't you practice on your body?" The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention. Zheng Banqiao got an unexpected inspiration from his wife's words.
Since then, he has made great efforts to find a new way to achieve mastery through a comprehensive study. On the basis of absorbing the strengths of major calligraphers, he has made great efforts to forge his own style, and created a unique "six-and-a-half-book", which is often called "Banqiao style". Only then did he become famous and began to be praised as a calligrapher.

and explained: "Banqiao has neither the strength to pull out a rich man, nor the smoothness of loose snow, but it is just strange, creating a method in which real officials participate in each other, but it is mixed with grass."
judging from the calligraphy works he created, the so-called "the method of combining official script with official script" is actually to combine official script with running script, and at the same time, to write with the trend of writing cursive script. As for which "six points", which "half points" and where the other "three and a half points" are, it is hard to understand.
he writes in bluegrass style, which is extremely natural and natural, and he uses the glyphs of seal script, official script, grass script and kai script, which are extremely varied. This running script of "Two Rest in Yanglin Crossing the Head to the East" embodies the unique formal beauty of Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy art, and the words "Peach Blossom Shore" are particularly beautiful and moving. Zheng Banqiao's unique style of new books initiated the history of calligraphy.
