Lian Po
Huang is also regarded as a particularly fine and creative calligrapher of the Song Dynasty. His "xingshu" (semi-cursive style of script) displays a sharpness and aggression that is instantly recognizable to students of Chinese calligraphy. His calligraphic piece "Biographies of Lian Po and Lin Xiangru" epitomises a technique today known as "flying-white" "when writing calligraphy, the areas within a brushstroke where the brush fails to leave a full measure of ink and streaks of white paper or silk appear".
