The words are in harmony with the mountains, and are extremely beautiful and angular. He used the characteristics of the landscape there as a metaphor for his view of the art of calligraphy, "If the art of calligraphy wants to be unique, it must be as unique and majestic as the mountains in Zhangjiajie. The Wei stele is like the Golden Whip Rock, showing the masculine beauty of a majestic tower standing tall and tall; Regular script is like Yubifeng, rigorous in structure and full of fun; wild script is like the waterfalls and springs of Baofeng Lake, eclectic and leaping; official script is like the sparkling lake water, gentle and changeable, romantic and colorful; running script is like winding The clouds and mists on the mountain peaks are as agile and smooth as moving clouds and flowing water; as for the Xixia calligraphy, it seems as mysterious as Shentang Bay."

There were only three first-class winners in the country, and two of them were from his family. The provincial newspaper reported it extensively, and the school exempted the two sisters from tuition for a year and held a "Sisters Calligraphy Exhibition" for them.

Is teaching calligraphy a bit overkill for a well-known calligrapher? Lu Tong said, "Teaching young people to learn calligraphy and cultivating calligraphy talents is also a good thing and contribution to society."
He still emphasizes the importance of "guidance from famous teachers". "When teenagers learn calligraphy, the first thing is love and liking, and the second thing is to have good teachers to guide them. Mediocre people cannot teach future rookies." Lu Tong said, "The level and technique are different, and the teaching methods are different. The difference will directly affect the students' learning results. Art is a science. Only by practicing the basic skills in a down-to-earth manner and improving step by step can you be able to create your own style and characteristics flexibly. Whether you can succeed or not depends on one. The word "enlightenment" determines the success of art and the degree of artistic achievement, whether it is innate or caused by love and hard work. All need to be gradually understood, discovered and guided."
