Ode to Shimen, known as Cao Li, began with Kang Youwei. He believes that there are three parts: seal character, model character and line character, and he Xia Cheng is the seal character in official script. "Zhang Qian" and "Kong Biao" are the first words in official script; Yang (Ode to Shimen) is Grass in the Official Residence. "It can be seen that after nearly a century of development, Han Li has become more mature. At the same time, it can be seen from this monument that calligraphy at this time inherited the characteristics of the times.
Ode to Shimen has a great influence on later generations. In the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Zuyi wrote an afterword on this tablet, saying: "However, not many people have studied the Han tablet for 300 years, but no one has studied Ode to Shimen, which is full of vigorous and unrestrained spirit. Cowardice does not dare to learn, cowardice cannot learn. " Yang Shoujing's "Pingbei Ji" says: "Its brushwork is really like a wild crane gull, flying high, and the Six Dynasties are sparse and beautiful, all of which come out."
The word "Ci Hai" on the cover of the first edition of Ci Hai, the largest comprehensive dictionary in China, originated from the cliff stone carving "Ode to Shimen" in Han Dynasty.
