resume
I only studied in a private school for three years in my childhood, but I was extremely diligent and eager to learn. I often break branches, draw and write on the floor, and am regarded as a wizard by the villagers.
/kloc-when he was 0/5 years old, he studied the carving technology of purple sand pottery with Lu Lanfang, a famous sculptor in Yixing. After being a full teacher, he mainly carved pottery and painted in Wudesheng Pottery Shop in Yixing City. After the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the pottery industry gradually recovered, and then engaged in purple sand pottery carving and was employed by Shunxing Pottery Factory.

Ren Ganting loved painting and calligraphy all his life and painted every day, leaving a lot of sketches. He devoted himself to the study of Zisha pottery carving art, inheriting Yixing calligraphy and painting in the late Qing Dynasty, and the inscriptions by Chen, Chen Yanqing, Shen, Lu Lanfang, Han Tai and Shao Yunru. Famous ceramists who have been handed down to this day are: Feng, Tan Quanhai, Bao Zhiqiang, Wang Pinrong, Shen Hansheng, Xian Zhongying, Bao Zhongmei, Zhu Rongjuan, etc. Books appeared in the form of Alvin, official script, seal script, Zhong Ding and Oracle Bone Inscriptions. When carving, the interesting and aesthetic feeling of ceramic lines are expressed by changeable knife techniques, and the decoration of calligraphy, poetry and painting on purple sand pottery is simplified, which makes the purple sand art set each other off. What is unique is that you can draw the same and symmetrical flowers and birds, landscapes and patterns with your left or right hand.
