The innovation of calligraphers' pen and ink in the late Ming Dynasty is manifested in the pursuit of Echo Yang effect.

Wang Duo.

Wang Duo, the first person who widely used the brush-lifting technique in calligraphy creation in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, can be said that his brush-lifting technique reached a superb level.

Throughout Wang Duo's books, whether it is banners, couplets, hand scrolls, or even stickers, a lot of pen and ink are used. Taking his calligraphy Feng Gong Xiao Sheng as an example, the rising ink used in the whole work echoes the exaggerated vertical lines and dry brush lines, which has a strong sense of rhythm and constitutes a perfect visual impact, greatly enriching the connotation of the work and enhancing the strong contrast in the form of the work.

Wang Duo's brushwork was influenced by the "two kings" in his early years, and his brushwork was peaceful and gentle. After learning from Mitty in middle age, his brushwork and brushwork have obviously changed and innovated.
