范曅與蕭思話同師羊欣，後小叛，旣失故步，爲復小有意耳。 Fan Ye and Xiao Sihua shared Yang Xin as teacher; later Ye slipped a little from the path, lost his old step, and kept only a trace of purpose.

蕭思話書，羊欣之影，風流趣好，殆當不減，筆力恨弱。 Xiao Sihua's hand is Yang Xin's shadow: in ease and taste he nearly does not fall short, yet his stroke power is painfully thin.
