Shen's Calligraphy Essays is a very famous work, which clearly introduces his understanding of calligraphy. His book only discusses brushwork, brushwork and brushwork. In his view, the strokes of characters are just like lines drawn. When painting, the lines will be different in thickness and depth. Only by creating them stroke by stroke can we better show different emotional appeal and show the image of an object through color rendering.
