Yang Shanming inherited his family's scholarly tradition and developed a deep passion for calligraphy from an early age. Uninterrupted by seasons, he studied the styles of Yan Zhenqing, Liu Gongquan, Wang Xizhi, and Ouyang Xun, later emulating Zhao Mengfu's scripts. He began his regular script practice with Yan Zhenqing's "Qin Li Bei," dedicating the most effort to this work, followed by several years of study of Yan's "Dongfang Shuo Hua Zan Bei." In running script, he initially copied Yan's Three Drafts, then shifted to studying Mi Fu's "Tiao Xi Shi Juan" and "Shu Su Tie," occasionally also practicing Wang Duo's running script. For cursive script, he emulated Sun Guoting's "Shu Pu"; for clerical script, he studied the "Zhang Qian Bei"; and for seal script, he practiced the "San Shi Pan." His works exude a refined, literary charm, combining softness with strength in harmonious balance. He emphasizes variations in spacing, dryness, wetness, darkness, and lightness in character composition, presenting a unique artistic appeal through every stroke and form.
