Zhao Mengfu Copying the Preface of the Holy Religion 

n the history of calligraphy, Zhao Mengfu was known as the "Youjun Fadi". In the Qing Dynasty, Chen Yixi said: "Zhao Ziang»s calligraphy is one of the key to ancient and modern calligraphy. Zi Ang can gather the strengths of many parties since the Jin and Tang dynasties. If he paid attention to the calligraphy, starting from now on, he could feel a little easier. " Mr. Qi Gong also said: "Zhao Mengfu»s calligraphy inherits the past and the future. Since the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, it has been in style and is easy to know and easy to see; it inherits the predecessors» norms, and it can give life to the place that no one has noticed." Both of them emphasized Zhao Mengfu»s pivotal position in the history of calligraphy. Chen Yixi thinks that learning calligraphy from Zhao Mengfu is a bit easier; Mr. Qi Gong thinks that Zhao Mengfu is unique in that he can learn from the ancients. There are three types of Zhao Mengfu»s copy of Preface of the Holy Religion, all of which are printed. It is still controversial whether the book is published in the collection of Zhang Yixi is real. It would be of great significance if the learner could find out the news about "using the pen" (Zhao Mengfu said, "using the pen is not easy"). "
