"Strict demands" are not aimed at others, nor at the world, but rather at oneself. In Zhao Erdai's creative perspective, true demands are never about conforming; they embody an inner standard— paintings can be simple, words can be few, but they cannot be perfunctory; works may not be understood, but they must not betray the heart of the moment. The "strict" inscribed on this seal is neither urgency nor perfectionism, but an attitude of not letting things pass casually. In terms of form, take a step back, but in spirit, ask one more question: is this truly enough? The "pursuit" is not a greedy search, but a continuous inquiry— seeking truth from brush and ink, seeking validation from time, and seeking a steadfast answer from within. Therefore, "strict demands" are not oppression, but a way of self-guarding: the world may be loose, but creation cannot let itself go easily.
