On the cliff stone, for example, Henan Luoyang Yishui River stone is square sum strong genre. Shaanxi, Gansu province Baoxie Road "three Han song" (see figure three on the right), although in the same way, but "Shimen song" and "Xixia song", "court homecoming" style is different: the former wrote by pure round pen, unrestrained and interesting, the latter two parties; based on square pen, order and strong, dignified and beautiful, "court homecoming" using pen is particularly strong. Shandong Laizhou in the vicinity of the stone "Zheng Wengong monument", although the same wrote by Zheng Daozhao, but the publication in the "Yunfeng mountain" (under the Zheng Wengong Monument) clear handwriting, weathering degree of corrosion is very light. "Zheng Wengong monument" (printed under the monument) a number of publishers, but the publication of Shanghai painting and calligraphy press "self plexus post" Zheng Wengong monument (the lower monument) style, word definition and use of rubbings are the best. "Zheng Wengong monument" is round with the pen, but because of too observant of conventional standards, so should not be selected as the template. If has the above knowledge or grasp more calligraphy theory, and then related knowledge of painting pen, ink, water, color, will have a multiplier effect.
