The seal script is attributed to Yang Yisun, the running script is from the "Two Kings", the cursive script has the charm of Zhang Xu and Huai Su, and the regular script is based on "Zhang Menglong Stele". In the early years, I strived for exquisiteness in the official works, taking the flesh and bones of "Yiying Stele" to be evenly balanced, the "Fenglong Mountain" to be broad and elegant, and the "Liturgical Stele" to change like a dragon, reflecting my own style. Later, he devoted himself to studying the simplified scripts of the Han Dynasty, and wrote in a solemn and mellow style with cursive, flying and round brushstrokes, forming a unique cursive script.

Seal cutting originated from the Qin and Han Dynasties, embodying one's own meaning in the ancient style.
