Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy works are as follows:

Ouyang xiu's lower case, ode to autumn sound, lower case model essay, Cao Cao's calligraphy poem, watching the sea, calligraphy theory Zheng Banqiao is one of the most famous, representative and accomplished "Eight Eccentrics in Yangzhou".

In concrete works, they like to use personification and personification to create works, making them a tool to express their emotions.

For example, Zheng Banqiao likes to portray bamboo as unyielding and proud to express his integrity. When painting birds and frogs, he likes to draw by glaring or rolling his eyes, just to show a spirit of resistance.

In calligraphy, Zheng Banqiao showed his personality and emotion more incisively and vividly, and his calligraphy showed four characteristics: disorder, strangeness, wildness and ugliness.

"Chaos" is manifested in his calligraphy, which does not pay attention to brushwork and composition, and writes casually. The lines of calligraphy look crooked and even chaotic, just like a mess. Even he himself described his calligraphy as "littering the streets".

"Strange" is that the structure of his calligraphy bookshelf is very strange, which gives people a sense of disharmony and does not conform to the public aesthetic. Just like a person who is born out of tune, he always looks uncomfortable.

"Wild" is manifested in the exaggeration of his calligraphy, which has no flavor of Wen Ya at all, but is full of wildness and domineering, with a deviant quality.

"Ugliness" is a comprehensive impression of chaos, strangeness and wildness on the aesthetic level, which is completely different from the aesthetic view throughout the ages.
