The pen is light in horizontal and heavy in vertical. The lifting and pressing are clear. It seems calm and flexible. There are four sections in the book, namely, “Stele of Huashan Mountain in the Western Han Dynasty”, “Stele of Yang Jun in the Han Dynasty”, “Literary Biography of Tang Dynasty and Lu Dynasty”, and “Records of Plants and Plants in Pingquan Mountain”, which were written in one volume in the first year of Zhiping (1064). The content is different from the printed version of “Postscript of Ancient Records”, and should be the manuscript at that time.
