Xue Yao in the Tang Dynasty was the ancestor of Shoujin. Xue Yao studied Chu Suiliang. He was thin and hard, with a fine pen and a smooth structure, but he was more dangerous and slender than Chu Shu. Instead of imitating the Book of Chu step by step, he made full use of it, created something, became a habit and became the last stream of the Book of Chu. Preface to Shi Li's Summer Poems is Xue Yao's masterpiece and one of the inscriptions on the cliff of Shicong River.
Shicong River Cliff Stone Carving is the largest Cliff Stone Carving in Henan Province. It was carved on March 19th of the first year, and it is divided into two parts: Poems on Summer Vacation and Preface to Autumn Banquet. Both calligraphers are Xue Yao, whose calligraphy is thin and vigorous, and they are called "the father of thin gold body" by calligraphers of past dynasties. Xue Yao's calligraphy was later studied by Song Huizong, and finally created a unique "thin gold book" style.

The "thin gold book" comes down in one continuous line with its meticulous flower-and-bird painting. The slender strokes, as thin as ribs, aggravate the ups and downs at the beginning and end, and then take the structure of stretching around the tight knot of Huang Tingjian's middle palace, which is quite wonderful.
This thin character is just suitable for his meticulous painting, which echoes the brush. As an artist with both calligraphy and painting, he made a very important integration of painting and calligraphy, which created a new situation of literati painting and calligraphy, influenced later generations and continued to this day.
