Tian wrote in the article "Seventy Years of Calligraphy-Remembering My Late Father":
A couplet given to my family by Mr. Ouyang Zhongshi is often hung in my house: "three writers of father and son, four calligraphers of two generations of brothers", so people often ask about the meaning of this couplet. "Father and son writers" refers to my late father Tian Yinting, my younger brother Zhang Ying and me; "Two generations of brothers and four families" refers to two brothers of my late father and uncle Tian Qishan and two brothers of my generation.
In this article: My first uncle Tian Qishan refers to his uncle.
Tian's uncle is called.
