Almost every character has some exaggerated long paintings and sends them out as much as possible, forming a brand-new method of dividing the middle palace into four sides, which has a great influence on later generations. The structure is obviously influenced by Huai Su, but the rhythm is completely different from that of Huai Su. Before him, roundness and fluency were the keynote of cursive script, while Huang Tingjian's cursive script was extremely dangerous in word structure and creative in composition. He often used the method of substituting flowers for trees to break the boundaries between words, so that lines formed a new combination, and the rhythm changed strongly, so he had special charm and became an outstanding representative of the Northern Song Dynasty book circle.
