石如篆法以二李為宗，縱橫闢闔，得之史籀，稍參隸意，殺鋒以取勁折，字體微方，與秦、漢當額為近。 Shiru's seal script took the two Li masters as its models; in its sweeping expansiveness it drew on Shi Zhou, with a touch of clerical influence; he pared the brush tip to achieve sharp turns, and his forms were slightly square, close to Qin and Han stele crowns.
