Features: The original calligraphy of "Danhua Stele" is not flat despite being written within square grids. Zhao's composition is truly exquisite, as it skillfully employs "the harmony of unevenness." Some characters stand out with larger surrounding text, while others are more lively, clearly in running script. Additionally, there are characters with fine strokes, making the entire piece appear transparent and lightweight. These local unevennesses, through interplay, do not distract the eye. The brushwork and line quality remain unified, further harmonizing these unevennesses and bringing variation into harmony, making the piece thought-provoking.
