Mr. Zhang Guozheng whether it is a collection of books, or an inscription and stone carving; whether it is a banner in the middle hall or a lintel. From the three mountains and five mountains to the five lakes and the four seas, from the high temples to the homes of ordinary people; the content of calligraphy may say that the ancient theories and the present are to warn the world, or to inherit ethics and morality to teach people to be good, or to purify the soul with words and aspirations. Calligraphy lies not only in the external beauty, but also in the noble virtues born of the clever brush. With the pen in the heart, the heart is correct, which not only reflects a calligraphy realm, but also has an understanding of the various states of life. This kind of calligrapher's thinking has been passed down to future generations, becoming a compulsory course for calligraphy learners to learn calligraphy for the first time, and has become a model for Confucian scholars.

Mr. Zhang Guozheng's calligraphy requires a lot of eyesight. In the Qing Dynasty, most of the people who practiced yan were able to obtain their shape and meaning, and they used the distance of yan characters to be slightly gentle, just to get the wind contained in the essence of Wei and Jin Xiaokai; the ink was thick and the knots were wide, and they were more calm and unhurried.
