Pu Shu is an excellent calligraphy work in the history of China's calligraphy, with both calligraphy and writing. The book is divided into two volumes, totaling more than 3,700 words. His "two kings" (Wang Xizhi, Wang Xianzhi) of cursive script patriarchal clan system, with exquisite brushwork, beautiful structure and thorough cursive calligraphy, opened up a road for future generations to learn cursive script. Song Gaozong said: "There are many beautiful words and calligraphy on the score of this book." .
In his works, the author summarizes the creative experience of Cao Kai Zhuanli, and puts forward his own unique views from calligraphy theory, mainly including:
1. Expounds the theory of "five virtues and five combinations", saying that "getting tools is not as good as getting tools, and getting goals is not as good as getting goals", and emphasizes that subjective conditions are the decisive factor.
Secondly, the theory of grasping, writing, turning and using is put forward in brushwork, and the turning point of grasping, carrying and carrying pens and the arrangement of lettering are discussed.
Thirdly, it is put forward in the book that "beginners are distributed, but seek justice;" Knowing fairness will ensure danger; Such a simple dialectical theory of calligraphy was discussed in Pu Shu.

"Home has the capacity of Nanwei, so it can be discussed by Yu Shuyuan; There is the benefit of Longquan, and then talk about cutting. " There are many discussions on the connection and difference between artistic personality and calligrapher's personality, as well as the viewpoints of "learning from the past without forgetting it" and "bringing forth the new".
