The "Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra" in regular script by Zhang Jizhi of the Southern Song Dynasty is collected by the Princeton University Museum in the United States. Zhang Jizhi (1186-1263), courtesy name Wenfu, also known as Chuliao Liyang (today's He County, Anhui Province), was born in a distinguished family and was a patriotic poet. Zhang Xiaoxiang's nephew is the eighth descendant of Zhang Ji, a famous poet in the mid-Tang Dynasty. His calligraphy is deeply influenced by the Tang Dynasty. He first studied Ouyang Xun, Chu Suiliang and Yan Zhenqing, and later turned to Mi Fucan to learn Han Li and Jin and Tang classics, as well as Zen philosophy. Impact

Therefore, a unique calligraphy art style is formed.
