With its burgeoning aesthetic creativity and strong artistic inclusiveness, it presents an open cultural horizon, innovative artistic concepts, and an active group of calligraphers, casting a brilliant and colorful chapter in the history of Chinese calligraphy. The "Neishidi" located in Chuansha, Pudong, Shanghai is one of the origins of the rise of Shanghai style calligraphy. In the ninth year of the Xianfeng reign of the Qing Dynasty (1859), Shen Shuyong was elected as a candidate and appointed as a cabinet secretary, renovating his ancestral residence as the "Nei Shi Di". Shen Shuyong, a calligrapher and collector, strongly recommended Zhao Zhiqian's art, thus making Zhao Zhiqian the leader of the former Shanghai style calligraphy. The real "prelude" to the rise of Shanghai style calligraphy and painting is the "Deyue Tower" in Yu Garden. The Yu Garden Painting and Calligraphy Charity Association, which was founded in 1909, leased "Deyue Tower" as the venue, not only ordered Runge for its members, organized exhibitions and promoted painters, but also was the first charity organization for painting and calligraphy disaster relief in Late modern period of Shanghai, marking the real formation of the Shanghai style group of painters and calligraphers.
