His calligraphy is exquisite and delicate, and his cursive style is particularly detached. What helped him the most was the calligraphy of Yan and Su Dongpo. He saw that he was pale and confused in the four strokes he exposed, and sometimes he was thirsty, and his writing was amazing. There are "three unique skills" in later generations, such as "strange pen and strange body" and "great potential satisfaction". He broke through the gentle and charming style of calligraphy in the late Ming Dynasty and created calligraphy with distinctive personality. He stood with Huang Daozhou and Wang Duo and called them "Three Trees in the Late Ming Dynasty". He, Wang Duo, Fu Shan, Huang Daozhou and Zhang Ruitu were also called "the five masters of the late Ming Dynasty" and became the representative of the book style of the late Ming Dynasty.
