Xie Xiaoqing’s regular script is based on the method of King Zhong, which is within the rules. The brushstrokes are exposed and light. Her writing style is light and lively, showing her extremely high ability to control sharp edges, with occasional cursive strokes and a graceful and unrestrained style. Mr. Tian Yunzhang also spoke highly of it.
Zhou Ruchang, a researcher at the China Academy of Art and a famous red scholar, commented on Xie Xiaoqing:
The style of the Wei family is Mao Yisi, and it is not too late to feel the spring after two thousand years.
Shu Yuan rarely hears fat in inkstones, but Mo Lin is happy to see a woman as his teacher.
Drawing on the sand, understanding the mind-generated Dharma, striving for Taoism, spiritual movement, and posture.
