‌NOTE:
‌Tang Tuo, formerly Chenglie, styled as Ziquan, Quren, was a well-known calligrapher in modern China. A native of Wujin, Jiangsu, Tang Tuo was highly proficient in plaque-writing, particularly known for his “Tang Style” at the time. He devoted himself to printing techniques and publishing in his middle age and studied in Japan for three years to learn about advanced printing technologies. In 1912, Tang Tuo joined the Chung Hwa Book Company and served as the deputy director of the printing house until 1935.

Shen Yangong, previously Zanqing and styled as Yantan, was a native of Fuzhou, Fujian. As the grandson of Shen Baozhen (1820-1879), he served as governor of the Deqing and Dongguan of Guangdong and director of the Printing Office at the Ministry of Finance during the Republic Era. Having held a strong friendship with Tan Yankai (1880-1930), Shen Yangong is known for his calligraphy, poems, and articles.
