Among the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, Yong Zhengdi's calligraphy was the most admired. While his calligraphy is elegant and solemn, the most prominent thing is his running script.

In fact, for the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, the calligraphy of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong was better than that of other emperors of the Qing Dynasty. This is because, compared with the previous emperors, they have been in the customs for a long time since they were born, so they have been educated to hate Chinese culture since childhood. Compared with later emperors, they loved calligraphy very much, so they kept practicing calligraphy, which made them achieve higher achievements in calligraphy.

Compared with his father Kangxi and his son Qianlong, Yong Zhengdi was in office for a short time, only thirteen years, so there were relatively few calligraphy works left before he ascended the throne. His calligraphy practice, like everyone else, has gone through a long process of copying copybooks, so after becoming emperor, his calligraphy has reached a mature stage. Therefore, his calligraphy looks smooth and natural, and at the same time, it is vigorous and powerful, with extraordinary momentum and royal style. One of the historical records mentioned Yong Zhengdi's achievements in calligraphy. Although he didn't say it directly, it can be seen from his comments that a scholar who is proficient in the eight methods has these qualities, so he can make an accurate evaluation of this scholar.

From the tablet inscribed by Yong Zhengdi in Yangxintang, we can see Yong Zhengdi's calligraphy. Besides, we can also see that he is strict with himself. As an emperor, he asked himself to be diligent in government affairs to make the country prosperous, and he also practiced calligraphy for his hobby to make calligraphy unique.
