Ma Dezhao is not only famous for his martial arts, but also a great calligrapher. His calligraphy "A Shou Zi Bei", the "Tiger Bei" with the signature "Xima Shudezhao" and the stone carving "Kuixing Diandou" which integrates calligraphy and painting have been displayed in Anbeilin (Room 4) of the National Calligraphy Treasures Museum. The tablet of "Kuixing Diandou" carved during the Tongzhi period was cleverly combined into the image of Kuixing, holding the inkstone in his left hand, writing with his right hand, leaning the word "Dou" with one foot and standing on the word "Ao". Its rich imagination and ingenious composition are wonderful. It is a famous inscription in Xi 'an Forest of Steles. The image connotation of Kuixing's unique position makes it a vivid propaganda material of imperial examination culture, which is spread all over the country and has been exhibited in major imperial examination exhibitions so far.
