Qian Mu said about Ma Yifu: "Yifu's clothes are neat and tidy, and he looks like a man. In terms of conversation, celebrities are romantic, like people from the Six Dynasties." Ma Yifu is a member of the Xiling Yin Society, and he has personally made nearly a hundred seals for his own use. It is elegant and quiet, which is quite popular with the Han people. In 1937, the Anti-Japanese War broke out.With the help of his disciple Jiang Xinbai, Ma Yifu left Hangzhou with a collection of thousands of books to avoid soldiers in Tonglu.Feng Zikai also led the whole family and went straight to Tonglu Ma Yifu.Soon, the two families settled in their own homes within a mile of each other.Out of his sincere admiration for Ma Yifu, Feng Zikai visited him almost every other day.Although it was the middle of winter, the sun was warm and the wind was not cold.Feng Zikai usually visits Ma Yifu's house in the morning.At this time, if the weather is fine, Ma Yifu will take his fellow disciple Wang Xingxian to the bamboo forest to bask in the sun. "The boy servant moved a few chairs, took a teapot, and put it next to the bamboo forest at the gate of the fence. I am used to this teapot: a round and short purple sand teapot, placed on a square copper charcoal stove, in the pot Pu’er tea is often rolled. There is a cigarette next to the teapot, which is for the guests; Mr. Ma himself holds the hookah and chats with us.” Sometimes Ma Yifu also puts down the hookah and picks up a cigarette to smoke. Strong, front and back, but also Zhuang and harmonious talk, spit out in a steady stream between the exchange of hookah for cigarettes, and cigarettes for dry smoke." Many years later, Feng Zikai never forgot the poetic "Tonglu Negative Xuan" at the beginning.

Feng Zikai once said that Mr. Ma Yifu is "the master of Chinese calligraphy".Ma Yifu's calligraphy has high achievements in various styles.His cursive style benefited from Chu Suiliang's Preface to the Holy Religion in the Wild Goose Pagoda.
