I learned calligraphy at the beginning, studied under Chu Suiliang, and later studied under Zhang Xu. Finally, he absorbed the classics of four schools in the early Tang Dynasty, then absorbed the meanings of Zhuanli and Northern Wei Dynasty, and finally created his own style. Heroic and broad-minded.
