The full name of Shimen Fu is Fu of a Captain, also known as Fu of a Captain Yang, which is a cliff stone carving. It was carved on the cliff of Gu Jie Shimen, Bao Bei, Baocheng County, Shaanxi Province, in the second year of Han Dynasty (A.D. 148). The handwriting is wild and childish. Yang Shoujing called it: "Wild cranes idle gulls, flying high." The cursive script in Li Shu from Youli. Weng Fanggang's Records of Hanshu Jinshi said: "Those whose strokes are longer than one or two words will hang their ears and lose their books because of stone cracks, so they can follow the law." This statement is not necessarily accurate, because apart from the word "fate", the last strokes of "sound" and "yin" are quite long, which is actually the style of bamboo and silk in Han Dynasty. Look at the lettering on the Chinese brick and tile. There are many such strokes. It embodies the unrestrained indulgence of Chinese characters and has an elegant and novel charm. Ode to Shimen is a multi-purpose pen with little change in thickness, but beginners don't use enough pens, and it is easy to become slim and slippery, losing Han Li's dignified and vigorous style. -"Appreciation of Historic Sites" Fee
