As we all know, the mainstream of Chinese calligraphy has been literati calligraphy since ancient times, and the development of calligraphy is to some extent closely related to and inseparable from literati. Some people may want to give an example of the Han wei stele to refute it, saying that the famous "Thirteen Pins of The Dragon Gate" is not necessarily written by the literati. That being said, there is no way to verify it after all.
It is true that weibei is an important part of Chinese calligraphy, but throughout the calligraphy, every symbolic calligraphy, calligrapher, and inscription masterpiece seems to have been promoted by literati to promote the development of calligraphy.

Compared with the former's longitudinal and smooth cursive writing, Shao Lizi's calligraphy seems to be more elegant and rigorous than that of some literati.
Of course, as a famous educator and democrat, Shao Lizi calligraphy is also only a tool for the exchange of ideas and the expression of emotions, and he still spends more time and energy fighting for the country and the people.
Back to the main topic, let's enjoy Shao Lizi's calligraphy works together——
