Postscript to Lu You's "School Pictures of the Northern Qi Dynasty" Collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, USA
The title of Lu You's calligraphy is concealed by the name of his poem. Lu You is also skilled in calligraphy and regular script. He claimed to "learn from Zhang Dian (Zhang Xu) in cursive calligraphy, and from Yang Feng (Ningshi) in running calligraphy." His calligraphy sketches are easy to pick up, elegant, graceful and straight, and his writing power was strong and unrestrained in his later years. Zhu Xi praised his writings for their exquisiteness, strictness and elegance, and lofty meaning.
