Calligraphy works
Mao Dun is an excellent calligrapher. Its word layout is meticulous and rigorous, and its brushwork is refined and subtle, elegant and elegant, which seems to be based on thin gold. But it is actually derived from Dong's epitaph, from which Mao Dun takes its beauty and firmness, thus giving people a refreshing feeling, while the middle palace is tight, the lines are elegant, slender and not light, and the show is quite elastic. The only drawback is that it is too smooth and fluent, which makes its words too beautiful.
