Copy of Huangting Jing, a script of Taoist canon written by Zhao Mengfu the great artist living in the mid-13th and early 14th centuries, shows Zhao's excellency in culture and Xiang's discernment.

There are also dozens of quality examples of calligraphy, done in various scripts, to reflect the evolution and diversity of the art of Chinese writing, including a letter by Delian, a respectable Buddhist monk of the Song Dynasty (960-1279), to his Japanese counterpart, and a rubbing, believed the only of its kind in existence, of a stone tablet calligraphic piece dated to the Jin Dynasty (220-589).
