Deng was proficient in poetry and was quite famous in the early Yuan Dynasty. He is a great scholar and literary leader. He and Zhao Mengfu have a very deep friendship, and there are frequent exchanges and cooperation between calligraphy and calligraphy. For example, or Daoxing Monument was written by Zhao Shudan by Deng.
Regarding Deng's calligraphy teacher, Tao's Book History Society said: "Deng Gang is upright and upright, cursive, first learn two kings, then learn." Judging from these calligraphy styles handed down from him, they are all close to Zhao Mengfu's style, which shows that Zhao has a profound influence on them. In calligraphy, Cao Zhang is Deng's most successful calligraphy style. Cao Zhang, his masterpiece handed down from ancient times, is presented in Urgent Zhang Juan, which is characterized by his brushwork, which can combine the new with the ancient and the new with the ancient. Ming Yuan Hua wrote such a poem: "Look at his brushwork. If God flies out of the sea, he can fly freely." Nearly a thousand years from Jin to Yuan, almost no one cares. Obviously, Zhao Mengfu and Deng's efforts in this style of writing are not only seeking the ancients from the brushwork, but also realizing the comprehensive return of the retro reform from the style of writing. Deng's last ink also includes Two Notes on Looking at the Near Han Dynasty, Notes on the Book Family, Collection of Qing Ju Yuan, etc.
