Guishou, inscribed with the word "Huang Ming" and nine lines of running script, finally inscribed with a book "Zhang Ruitu, an academician of Wanli Gengshen", with a total of 252 words.

The inscription records the fact that Xiong Shangchu, the magistrate of Quanzhou in the 14th year of Ming Taizu (1449), led troops to resist the Deng peasant uprising army that raided Quanzhou, was killed in Gulingpo, Jinjiang County (now cizao town), and the people set up a shrine to worship.

Calligraphy skills are skillful and decisive, full of momentum, the echo of stippling and glyph, the coordination of strokes, the close spacing of words in composition and the alienation of line spacing, which have high artistic value. There are many calligraphy works handed down from ancient times in Zhang Ruitu, but only the original works can be seen, such as huge space and numerous words.

This work is paper, with a height of1.10m and a width of 0.45m.. Due to the age, the paper is yellow and damaged in many places, but the handwriting is basically intact, and the word "Ruitu" is printed at the end of the calligraphy line. This is one of the well-preserved cultural relics in Zhang Ruitu.

Starting from setbacks, the combination of setbacks; Stroke is mainly supported, with ups and downs, rotation in support and stroke stretching. Writing is to get rid of danger and seek truth from it. The whole work is magnificent and imposing, demanding rigor in rigor, and the space is distributed in flying strokes with a musical rhythm, which I can never get tired of watching.
