After his middle age, Zhao Mengfu took a wide range of styles based on the "two Wang" style, and transformed into a regular style with his own distinctive features-Zhao style.

Copying the regular script of Zhao style, it should be based on the Sanmen Ji, Miaoyan Temple Ji and Ball Stele as the model.
