artistic style
In calligraphy, Yu Feian is still studying in ancient times, learning the unique "thin gold style" calligraphy of Song Huizong and Evonne, which is quite accomplished. He is a leading figure in modern "thin gold style" writing. For meticulous painters, "thin gold body" can not only exercise the brushwork, but also this thin and hard calligraphy style complements meticulous brushwork.
In Gu Shan with Wooden Pen, Bai Juyi wrote a poem entitled "The Show of Red Magnolia in Lingyin Temple to Appreciate Bright People" with vigorous and tall "thin gold book": "The purple colored pen contains sharp flame, and the red rouge dyes Xiao He. How much do you know about Xiangxiang, so that the monk regrets becoming a monk. " It's quite interesting. Its calligraphy is more quaint with its meticulous flowers and birds.
