Lin Zexu was not only a far-sighted statesman but also a skilled calligrapher. Grounded in the calligraphy of Ouyang Xun, his writing does not seek charm through slanting strokes; instead it is dignified, calm, and orderly, with subtle variation inside its regularity and a natural ease in the places where intention is most visible. Although this piece is less marked by the deep hidden strength and archaic simplicity often associated with Lin Zexu, its text still carries a strong moral and educational force.
