says that calligraphy is difficult for modern people to surpass ancient people. On the one hand, the reason is due to the environment. Ancient scholars regard calligraphy as a lifelong pursuit and pay much attention to it far exceeding that of modern people; secondly, many calligraphy of modern people imitate ancient people, and without deep foundation, it is difficult to innovate.
But there are exceptions in everything, and there is no absolute. In modern times, there was an old professor who praised his calligraphy as transcending the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties and entering the Song dynasties. He was hailed as the last "master of calligraphy". Even the teacher Qigong once praised his calligraphy.
This person is a Peking University professor in the Republic of China period - Shen Yinmo .
Shen Yinmo (1883-1971), whose original name is Junmo, was from Huzhou, Zhejiang Province. He studied in Japan in his early years and later served as a professor and president of Peking University and a professor at Fu Ren University. Mr. Shen is famous for his calligraphy. In the early years of the Republic of China, the calligraphy world was known as "Southern Shen and Beiyu ( Yu Youren ). In the 1940s, there was a saying in the calligraphy world that "Southern Shen and Northern Wu (Wu Yuru)".
The famous writer Xu Pingyu said that Mr. Shen’s artistic achievements in calligraphy “successfully surpassed the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and entered the four schools of Song dynasties without any shame.”

Professor Xie Zhiliu believes: “For hundreds of years, there have been many calligraphers, but no one has surpassed him.”
When Professor Lu Weizhao of Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts commented on Mr. Shen's calligraphy, he said: ""The realm, interest, and brushwork of Shen's calligraphy are written in the Song Dynasty, and most people can only follow the Qing Dynasty, but by the Ming Dynasty, it is one of the few. "
So many literary and calligraphy generals gave Shen Yinmo a high evaluation. It seems that Shen Yinmo's calligraphy is indeed two-piece. His calligraphy is definitely first-class in the history of modern calligraphy.

Above mentioned that one of the reasons why modern people's calligraphy is difficult to surpass the ancients is that modern people's calligraphy skills are not profound enough to innovate calligraphy, so they can only copy the ancients. And Shen Yinmo's calligraphy skills are definitely very profound, and his regular script is smooth and elegant, with his own unique style.
