Since the Tang Dynasty promoted the concept of "advocating law", the creative style of calligraphy has tended to be monotonous, generally elegant and beautiful, with rigorous and restrained brushwork, which has restricted the diversified development of art. Fortunately, in order to break through their predecessors, calligraphers in the Song Dynasty developed their own individual concept of "advocating meaning".

The brushstrokes focus on the combination of emotion and thought, and are inspired by the heart, emphasizing that "the idea comes before the brush". The strokes are flexible and free, and the ideas are varied and natural, especially the works of the "Four Masters of Song Dynasty".It can be said to be the best representative of the "Shangyi" style。
