He kept in mind Huang's teaching of "learning from the ancients and learning from nature", scrimped and saved money, traveled all over the country, and made his calligraphy art by going up one flight of stairs.

Many times, I still live a poor life. I study art alone, live in a humble alley and a humble house. I get up at four o'clock every day, practice Tai Chi all the way first, then go back to my room, hang my wrist, or write in letters or official scripts, realize my experience and concentrate on writing. Over the years, he has accumulated two cabinets full of "Yan Liu" and "Han Bei".

On one occasion, Du Fu Cottage in Chengdu asked him to write couplets-he leaned sideways and often missed the past, reciting poems alone, and people were in a hurry. He went into battle temporarily and didn't think twice. As a result, he wrote "self-composed poems" as "self-composed poems". The supplicant said it doesn't matter, you can adjust it when you carve it, but Lin Sanzhi quickly shook his head: "That's not right, so he rewrote a few more, which moved the supplicant."
