What kind of hard work did you use to write an epitaph for Deng?

Throughout the ages, many scholars have appreciated each other, such as Yu Boya, which has become an eternal story. They are still in a period of face-to-face communication and sharing, but there are also some literati who, although born in different periods, have the same cultural identity, but have no chance to meet each other. Typical examples are He and Deng. There are not many stories about them in history, but what is Deng's inscription is famous overseas. It is He's painstaking masterpiece, which includes his appreciation of Deng.

First of all, let's walk into Deng and see what he did and how he spread the inscription all over the world. Deng was an artist and calligrapher with seal cutting thoughts in Qing Dynasty, and he especially liked seal cutting when he was a teenager. He studied at Meiling Mei's home for eight years and copied all the exquisite inscriptions he had collected since the Qin and Han Dynasties. Over time, he is better at four-body calligraphy and seal script, with a weak personality and likes to travel around. His "Chen Ji He Shu" is flowery in rhetoric and elegant in writing. The magistrate finally took the initiative to send the crane there because he was moved.

Second, he was also from the Qing Dynasty, but he was younger than Deng and belonged to the same period as Deng's son. Compared with Deng, who has been wandering all his life, He's family is quite good. He comes from a scholarly family, his father has a high official position, and his brothers are also very knowledgeable. So under the influence of such a family, he has a wealth of knowledge. He studied under Ruan Yuan and Cheng Enze, and was good at Confucian classics. In addition, his calligraphy achievements, epigraphy and calligraphy are also very high.

Third, the connection between the two people can be seen from their profiles that they are both from the same place, so I believe that their understanding of seal cutting must have many similarities. But we are still curious. How did they get in touch when they were not in the same period? It depends on son Deng. Deng is He's good friend. As can be seen from the inscription, what is Deng's inscription can be described as painstaking.
