The Jingyun Monument was formed in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, when the art of Lishu was mature and flourishing. Among the well-known Han monuments, Zhang Qianbei and Jingyun stele are the most similar in font style.

Throughout the Jingyun Stele, the text knot is more square and rigorous, which is different from the rounded stretch of most Eastern Han Lishu glyphs. The strokes of horizontal, apostrophe, pinch, and hook of some of the texts are sharp at the end, reflecting the characteristics of the Wei and Jin Lishu. Such as "soul", "chase" and other words, the main horizontal painting is full of spirit, emphasizing the strength of the pen, but at the end of the end, the swallowtail is tall and tall, which is quite exaggerated.

Jingyun Stele book style is beautiful and steady, the rhythm is clear, and the emotions are blended. As the only Han stele unearthed in the Three Gorges region so far, it is of great cultural relics value, and its "carving and calligraphy are enough to cover the Central Plains, which can be called the first monument in the southwest of the Han Dynasty". The Jingyun Monument has been buried deep under the loess soil for more than a thousand years, blessed by misfortune, and the words are as sharp as new hair in the arsenic, with a unique spirit and a Han wind.
