Cai Xiang's Yuanmeng Thesis, on paper, written in 1061, 28.6cm×28.6cm, national palace museum in Taipei.
Cai Xiang mechanics Tang Dynasty masters, traced back to the Wei and Jin Dynasties, extremely profound, opened the mainstream of the Song Dynasty school of calligraphy. He believed that "the key to learning books is to take only God and qi as the best, and if the image is like a posture, although it is similar but has no spirit, it is the ear of those who do not know the book." That is to say, the style, style, and spirit of calligraphy must be repeatedly examined and carefully considered, pondered, and the next pen can be handy, used freely, and the line pen should pay attention to the echo relationship between the lines, so that the words are corresponding at the beginning and end, and the qi pulse is through, and it is done in one go.
Cai Xiang believes that it is only similar in "physical posture" and appearance without spirit, which is the work of people who do not understand the true meaning of calligraphy. Therefore, Cai Xiang paid special attention to this in his calligraphy study and creation. He learned Yan Zhenqing's book style not to follow the stereotypes, to draw gourds in the same way, but to pay more attention to the study and absorption of Yan Shu's gods, potentials, and qi, so people felt that Cai Xiang did not have a stroke that did not come out of Yan Zhenqing, but there was no stroke like Yan Zhenqing.
On the basis of advocating the spirit of the better, Cai Xiang also pursues ancient meaning, he believes that the reason why "Stone Drum Text" and "Zhong Ding Wen" are deeply appreciated and loved by people is that it is simple, and the materialization of the pen and knot body gives people the enjoyment of beauty, leaving endless thinking and imagination. Paying attention to ancient meaning is a major feature of Cai Xiang's calligraphy, and it is also one of the criteria for Cai Xiang to measure the quality of calligraphy works.

Commentary:
Goodbye. Far away from the letter to Dubo, to the covenant, to the end of the thanks. Yan Fan may have passed through Nandu and should see you at night. Although the Qingshe was given the title of Domain, it was returned to the Marquis of Youshusi. Near Li Zheng's worship, the forbidden forest suspected that Feng Washi was alone in Jinhua Summons, and did not need Yu Tang's only hope. The frost and wind are thin and cold, but the love is heavy and undeclared. XiangShang, Yan You read Your Excellency. Excuse me.
