Jin Nong (1687～1763), also known as Shoumen, also known as Dongxin, also known as Sinong, Qujiang Waishi, Xiye Jushi, etc., was a native of Renhe (now Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province), and lived in Yangzhou , selling paintings for a living.
Jin Nong’s book titles appeared earlier than his paintings. He was good at regular script and official script was the best. Its style is majestic, clumsy and simple, and it was the best at that time. Regarding Jin Nong’s inheritance, Jin Nong said in the seal of “The Bright Moon Comes into My Arms”: “Yu Jin got two steles of “Tianfa Shen Prophecy” and “Guoshan”. Duan, that is, the two-stele method is used, and this publication is printed. "In fact, there are more than two steles. Jinnong has collected more than a thousand rubbings of steles, such as "The Remaining Stele of Yang Jin, the General of the Han Expedition to the West", "The Monument of Huashan Temple in Xiyue", etc. These collections greatly broadened his horizons. Later generations called Jinnong's calligraphy "lacquer calligraphy". The so-called lacquer calligraphy means that the ink is as thick as lacquer, with the writing style of lacquer slips, and the brush is as square and flat as a brush. He was inspired by Mi Fu's autobiography of studying books and learned that bamboo slips were painted with bamboo slips, and he deliberately pursued this method.
