Yu Ji remarked, "His regular script deeply embodies the River Goddess while capturing its essence; his running script achieves the mastery of the Preface to the Holy Teaching and enters its realm; as for cursive script, he, after thoroughly studying the Seventeen Cursive Scripts, transformed its form." His calligraphic works are elegant and peerless in their time; his brushwork is smooth and expressive, balanced and graceful; his structure is neat and precise, spacious and stable; his ink application is refined and masterful, like jade and pearls, fully capturing the essence of Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi. No one can help but admire his exquisite craftsmanship.
