Jinnong is the core figure of Yangzhou Eight Eccentrics. He is a master of poetry, calligraphy, painting, printing, piano music, appreciation and collection. Jin Nong studied calligraphy since he was a child, and his literary attainments were very high. Strong academic education made him the first of the "Eight Eccentrics in Yangzhou". However, Jin Nong's nature is weak, and his calligraphy works are few compared with others in Yangzhou Eight Eccentrics. Jinnong was born in Qiantang, Zhejiang. He lived in the three dynasties of Kang, Yong and Gan, so he gave himself a casual name of "the old man in the three dynasties". Jinnong's calligraphy art is famous for its simplicity and massiness. His first lacquer book is a special way of using pen and ink. "Jinnong Ink" is as thick as paint, and the written words protrude from the paper. The brush used, like a flat brush, can only be folded when dipped in thick ink, just like painting with a brush. The words written in this way look vulgar and simple, with no rules at all. In fact, they are all about the overall situation and have a grand charm. Jin Nong's cursive script is the best embodiment of his calligraphy artistic realm. He combines regular script brushwork, official script brushwork and seal script brushwork, and is unique. His stippling looks like official script, and it is also careless. The long horizontal and vertical hooks are all in the shape of official script, and the pen-skimming posture is often close to Wei Bei, which is particularly vigorous and graceful. Especially those poems written honestly, Gu Zhuo is elegant and has a natural charm and artistic conception, which makes people fondle it.
