The most intuitive feeling of Yan Di's characters is fullness, steadiness and integrity. If Yan Ti and Liu Ti are compared to the postures of two types of athletes, Yan Ti can be a weightlifter and Liu Ti is a track and field athlete. To learn Yan-style characters, we should choose Li Yanqin Monument instead of Tuota, because Tuota is an early work of Yan Zhenqing, which is slightly more crude in brushwork than his later works.
