Lin Zao is an elite among the ancient literati in Putian who went to the Central Plains. His fame in literature and calligraphy has spread to the government and the public. Song Huizong personally catalogued 20 volumes of Xuanhe, and the calligraphy classic Book History Society edited by Tao in Ming Dynasty gave a high evaluation to Lin Zao. Comment on Xuan He Shu Pu: "In the 300 years of Tang Dynasty, calligraphers flourished. Although they have reached the generation of classics (from full-time copying classics), their writing style is also impressive (worth seeing). The calligraphy research of Gai Tang people flourished for a while after Taizong () built a pavilion as a place of enlightenment. Later, some scholars made their own achievements with what they learned, such as (Lin) Zao Zhi Zhi Zhi Yong (the calligrapher of the Southern Dynasty, the seventh grandson of Wang Xizhi). " China's calligraphy has changed a lot since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, especially Han Bafen, who is dominated by Jin people, and the modern official (regular script), which is more vigorous and thick, while the running script is thick and varied in thickness, which looks beautiful. From the Southern Dynasty Emperor Wu to the Jin Dynasty, through the Song, Qi, Liang and Chen Dynasties, the society gradually stabilized and the economy began to prosper. At that time, the monks of Yongxin Temple in Yinshan, Zhejiang Province were clever and brave. Putian forest's "Jiu Mu Lin Zao" is ambitious, sensitive and studious. In his early years, he founded Fuping Bookstore with Ouyang Zhan at the foot of Zixiao Mountain, and then walked into Beijing to take the exam. In the seventh year of Zhenyuan in Tang Dezong (79 1), he was the third among the scholars. "A Dictionary of China Writers, Volume of the Tang and Five Dynasties" says: "People in Putian climb to the top, starting from algae".
