Wang Yougui: "The Preface to the Holy Religion of the Wild Goose Pagoda" led to a new style of regular script in the Tang Dynasty, and Chu Suiliang was heavily inscribed in the history of calligraphy. The three schools of calligraphy in the early Tang Dynasty—Ou, Yu, and Chu—were collectively known as the calligraphers, but the one who truly opened the door to regular script in the Tang Dynasty was none other than Suiliang of the Chu family. Throughout the mid-Tang Dynasty,Yan Zhenqing and Xu Hao were all influenced by it. It can be said that the style of calligraphy in the middle and late Tang Dynasty was inspired by Chu Suiliang. In particular, the "Preface to the Holy Religion of the Wild Goose Pagoda" has innovative and contemporary significance.
