Huizhou school not only pays attention to the simplicity and exquisiteness of the pot body, but also pays attention to seal cutting calligraphy. His seal cutting calligraphy is very beautiful, not far from the Tang Xian style, and his brushwork is definitely like that of Chu Suiliang, a great calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty. The main symbols of Chen Menghu are: Wenxingge system, Jingxihui system, Chen system and Chen system. Some of them are marked with the year of production or quatrains, such as Exposing Ding Mao's Chen Meng System, Driving the Sun to Make Stars in Chen Meng System, Making Leaves Hard and Frosting Green in Chen Meng System, Four or Five Years' Dreams in a Smoke Village or Clouding into the West of Tianjin, and Inch Heart Showing Eternal Beauty. Generally speaking, Chen Meng system is composed of more than ten words or auspicious words engraved in poems, and the fonts are mostly regular script. Chen Meng's pot is the best product, with a small seal of "Yonglin" on the lid.
