Yi Bingshou was good at poetry and prose, and was good at Neo-Confucianism. He was good at seal cutting and liked painting. The landscapes and plum blossoms he painted are simple and graceful without sticking to traditional methods.
His calligraphy, whether in seal script, official script, regular script, or cursive script, has a unique look, and he is especially famous for his good calligraphy skills. Liang Zhangju's "Tui'an Essays" says: "Mo Qing took the true biography of the Han Li from afar, and if he could expand the Han Li and make it bigger, the bigger it becomes, the stronger it will be."
Yi Bingshou's official script is majestic and has a strong personality. The glyph structure is often both flat and square, and all strokes are summarized into three shapes: straight lines, curved lines and dots. They are concise and concise, and often have four corners fully stretched, which is full of tension. Looking at his book, on the surface, it does not look like a certain stele from a certain family. It seems to be out of nowhere, with nothing to rely on, and everything seems so ordinary; however, the most wonderful thing is the breadth and richness of the Han stele.
Yi Bingshou’s cursive writing achievements are also very high. His cursive writing and calligraphy are mixed with seal script and regular script, which are obviously influenced by Yan's "Poems of General Pei" and other calligraphy. In terms of composition, the lines are wide and the characters are not connected, which also reflects his early studies with Liu Yong. . In short, Yi Bingshou's writing can take in everything and express new ideas, giving people an otherworldly feeling.
His handed down works include "Five-Character Banner", "Changing Temperament Couplet", "Origin and Spiritual Couplet", "Wei Shu Chuanxiang Axis", "Ancient Couplet of More than Three Thousand Years", etc.
