Small ink box calligraphy

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the authentic price of the bronze ink box of Yin Sheng's engraved preface to Lanting was more than 10,000 yuan. Chen Yinsheng is the greatest bronze carving expert in the history of China. From the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, Zhang, Zhang and Zhang were the most famous bronze carving artists in Beijing, and they were also called the three masters of bronze carving. Of these three people, Chen Yinsheng has achieved the greatest success. His name is Lin Bing, a native of Shuntian (now Beijing), a metallurgical scholar, a general practitioner of medicine, and he is good at calligraphy and painting. Zhicheng Deng's "Gu Dong Notes" said: "Those who set up professional ink cartridges in Shi Jing factory are the first to promote Wan Li Zhai, and the lettering began in Chen Yinsheng scholar." Chen Yinsheng's bronze carving art is exquisite, no matter he is a flower, bird, fish and insect, or a landscape figure, but his most important achievement is his calligraphy works, which are excellent in words, lines, grass and seals. It can be said that he is careful with his words and flowing freely. Representative works include Preface to Lanting in regular script, Teacher's Watch and so on. Because Chen's reputation is abroad, there are a lot of fakes behind him.
