Calligrapher, painter and painting theorist in Northern Song Dynasty, together with Cai Xiang, Su Shi and Huang Tingjian, are also called "Song Sijia". He used to be a school book lang, a doctor of calligraphy and painting, and a foreign minister of the Ministry of Rites.

He is good at seal script, official script, regular script, running script and cursive script. And he is good at copying ancient calligraphy, reaching a chaotic level. His main works include Zhang Jiming's Post, Li Taishi's Post, Zijin Research Post and Mo Dan Qiushan Poetry Post.

Characteristics of Mi Fei's Calligraphy Style
Mi Fei studied calligraphy the hardest all his life, and his greatest achievement was running script. Most of the famous replies since the Southern Song Dynasty are engraved with their calligraphy books, which spread widely and have far-reaching influence. They are second to none among the "Four Great Calligraphers of Northern Song Dynasty". Kang Youwei once said: "Tang Yan structure, Song Shang is interesting." Calligraphers in Song Dynasty emphasized interest and individuality, especially Mi Fei.
Mi Fei studied books and claimed to "collect ancient Chinese characters". Although some people think this is a laughing stock, others praise that "Tian character block needs no praise, and the ancient Chinese character set can finally stand on its own feet" (Wang Wenzhi). This explains the success of Mi calligraphy to some extent. According to Mi Fei's self-report, before learning the Book of Jin from Su Dongpo, we can see that he was most influenced by five Tang people: Yan Zhenqing, Chu Suiliang, Duan.
