Like Li Yu in the Southern Tang Dynasty, this conquered emperor made great achievements in art. He made outstanding contributions to the construction and development of the Song Dynasty Painting Academy, the promotion and creation of calligraphy and painting, and the collation and preservation of ancient art. He can be called the emperor who loves painters instead of mountains and rivers. He collected a large number of folk cultural relics, especially epigraphy, calligraphy and painting, and ordered civil servants to edit Xuanhe Pu Shu and Xuanhe Painting Spectrum.
In his early years, he studied under Xue Ji and Huang Tingjian, and participated in various schools of Chu Suiliang. He was quite slim, beautiful and comprehensive, and changed his second Xue (Xue Ji and Huang Tingjian) to form his own style, which was called "Thin Gold Body". It is characterized by being thin and straight, with a horizontal pen with a hook, a vertical pen with a point, throwing it like a dagger, holding it like a knife, and a slender vertical hook; Some couplets are like hairspring, close to calligraphy. His pen originated from Chu and Xue, and it was written in detail. The closing gesture was written in Huang Tingjian's big script, which was very imposing.
