好石鼓文，李斯嶧山碑、泰山刻石，漢開母石闕，燉煌太守碑，吳蘇建國山碑，皇像天發神讖碑，唐李陽冰城隍廟碑、三墳記，每種臨摹各百本。 He studied the Stone Drum Inscriptions, Li Si's Mount Yi and Mount Tai inscriptions, the Han Kaimu stone que, the Dunhuang prefect stele, Wu Su Jian's Guoshan stele, Huang Xiang's Tianfa Shenchen stele, and Tang Li Yangbing's City God Temple stele and Record of the Three Tombs—making a hundred copies of each.

自謂：「吾篆未及陽冰，而分不減梁鵠。」 He said of himself, 'My seal script has not yet matched Li Yangbing, but my clerical script is no worse than Liang He's.'

坫自負其篆直接陽冰，嘗遊焦山，見壁間篆書心經，嘆為陽冰之亞。 Dian prided himself on a seal script that descended directly from Li Yangbing; visiting Mount Jiao he saw a wall inscription of the Heart Sutra in seal script and declared it second only to Yangbing's own work.
