He was a native of Wuxing and has been honoured as an early master within the tradition of the literati painters who sought personal expression rather than the representation of nature. In calligraphy, Zhao Mengfu rejected the brushwork of his era in favour of the cruder style of the Jin and Tang dynasties. In his early years, Zhao Mengfu studied the style of the Song dynasty emperor Gaozong, but later turned to the styles of Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi, in the end studying that of Li Yong. His regular script is considered one of the top four greatest in Chinese history. 趙孟頫（款）遊騎圖設色絹本 立軸來源：Adolphe Stoclet (斯托克萊1871-1949）收藏。展覽：Peintures chinoises anciennes, 法國巴黎賽努奇博物館, 1912年, 編號130。出版：Georges A Salles and Daisy Lion-Goldschmidt, Adolphe Stoclet Collection (part I), Brussels, 1956年, 頁410-411。
