Brief introduction of Shen

Shen (1883- 197 1 year), formerly known as 1883, was born in Hanyin House, Xing 'an League, Shaanxi Province (now Zhu Min Street, Chengguan Town, Hanyin County, Ankang City, Shaanxi Province). He studied in Japan in his early years, and later served as Professor and President of Peking University and Professor of Fu Jen Catholic University. After 1949, he served as deputy director of the Central Museum of Literature and History, member of the Shanghai Municipal People's Committee and deputy to the Third National People's Congress. Shen is famous for his calligraphy. In the early years of the Republic of China, the calligraphy circle was known as "South Shen and North Yu (Yu Youren)". In the 1940 s, there was a saying in the book circle that "there is Wu in the south and Wu in the north". Mr. Xu Pingyu, a famous writer, called Shen Lao's achievements in calligraphy art "beyond the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties and straight into Song Sijia without guilt". Professor Xie, the leader of the late national cultural relics appraisal group, said: "For hundreds of years, calligraphers have come forth in large numbers, and no one can match them." . Mr. Lin Yin, the late professor of National Taiwan University and director of China Literature Research Institute, praised Shen Lao's calligraphy as "under Mi Yuanzhang (Mi Fei)".
