画家篆书主攻峄山碑，兼效邓石如、王福庵。字迹横平竖直，布白整齐，笔画挺匀刚健，风格端庄严谨，一丝不苟，字的结构上紧下松，垂脚拉长，有居高临下的俨然之态，似乎读者须仰视而观。

 此为修身处事名联，很能使得观者心平气和，因内容浅显易懂而广泛流传。

The artist specializes in seal script, with a primary focus on the 峄山碑, while also drawing inspiration from the styles of calligraphers Deng Shiru and Wang Fu'an. The script exhibits a horizontal and vertical balance, presenting neat and orderly arrangements of characters with strokes that are robust and even. The style is dignified, rigorous, and meticulous, with a structure that is tight above and loose below, elongating the descending strokes to create a sense of elevated and commanding presence, as if the reader must look up to observe.

This particular piece features a name couplet related to self-cultivation and handling affairs. Its simple and easily understood content contributes to its widespread popularity, creating a sense of tranquility and equanimity for those who view it.
