When Old Ling heard that Old Liu had given him a congratulatory gift consisting of Lin Duo's running-script five-character poem, he eagerly opened the box, took the scroll inside to the table, and unfolded it with everyone's help.

Old Ling then picked up the magnifying glass beside him and leaned forward, examining Wang Duo's work bit by bit from beginning to end. Finally, he let out a long breath, raised his head, and said to Chu Chen with a smile, "Brother Anren, you've really gone to a lot of trouble. I'll describe this Wang Duo piece in just three words: extremely good!"

Several people present had already seen this Wang Duo piece in advance and confirmed that it was exceptionally outstanding. It could be considered one of the finest among Wang Duo's many works.

In this piece, Wang Duo used astonishing brushwork, a remarkably unconventional and magnificent structure, and rich, vigorous inkwork to create a powerful impact and an imposing artistic effect.

Moreover, one could see the highly distinctive personal characteristics of his calligraphic lines. They resembled neither the famous masters of history nor those of his own era, instead displaying a bold and powerful style, vibrant spirit, and sweeping force.

The brushwork throughout was unrestrained and fluid, the strokes trembling with life, the spirit soaring, and the force sweeping and majestic. His brushwork was free yet controlled, while the structure was bizarre and varied. He often used square strokes at the beginnings and turns, creating weight without stiffness, balancing strength and softness. The strokes possessed penetrating power, the form was graceful, and the style both weathered and elegant, deep and profound. It was truly a superior work among Wang Duo's pieces, vividly displaying his mighty brush force, capable of carrying mountains and lifting cauldrons.
